Charles W Moniak MD

Dr. Moniak is the best Dr. I have ever met in my life. I appreciate everything he has done for me. I was diagnosed with Endo by him, before that I had gone through 8 different Dr. and wanted to just prescribe me pain medications. Even after moving out of state he was still the Dr. I would visit to treat my endo. He also helped me with having my second daughter and had a hysterectomy to get rid of the pain forever. If I lived closer I would continue to see him annually but I will continue to see him if I had any major issues. Thank you for being a kind, caring Doctor. Thank you for being honest and truthful and telling me what I needed to know.

I can’t thank Dr. Moniak enough for his and his staffs’ kindness and their attention to my needs during one of the roughest life experiences my husband and I had to go through with my miscarriage. During this day and age it’s very rare to have the doctor call you before and after your surgery to make sure everything is okay. They basically held my hand the entire time and walked me through everything.
Dr. Moniak is a great doctor and I will definitely make sure that any kids I might have in the future gets delivered by him and his staff.

i started care with dr moniak bc i heard so much about him from my friends, being a first time patient at this office the girls there were super nice, even though the lobby was full they managed to be really nice and attentive yet some people like to complain and need to realize this is a busy doctors office. the front office girls are really nice and answer any questions you have. the nurse is really nice and made everything go smoothly in my appointment. i recommend dr moniak for a lot of reasons he takes his time to talk to you– literally he will chat with you about your needs and re assures you bc he cares. but what person wouldnt like a doctor who takes his time to listen to you? he makes sure to call you and check up on you, he will make sure that you get what you need and more. amazing doctor and amazing staff! highly recommended :)

Dr. Moniak did my surgery he was able to remove 21 fibroids & still save my uterus. He is a very caring & nice Doctor. Sincere when it comes to your needs. He is straight forward doesn’t sugar coat the situation at hand. I highly recommend him. He returns calls fast and listens to what the patient has to say & concerns.
Only thing is his front office staff can be a little rude. Sharon who is very pleasant and nice I try to get help from her.

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and just switched to Dr. Moniak because my last doctor wanted to control the whole process — from pitocin, to epidural, routine episiotomy, etc. I want a natural unmedicated birth and a doctor who will not intervene with the natural process unless the baby or I go into distress. Dr. Moniak was such a breath of fresh air! He’s thoughtful, spent time with my husband and I and also is very supportive of letting the process of labor and delivery take it’s own course without interference. He’s very intelligent and his staff is friendly. I’m very excited that I found Dr. Moniak and feel that I’m in good hands that I can trust on the day we deliver our first baby. If you’re interested in seeing a doctor who is less likely to manufacture the birth process for you, and allows a natural approach then I highly recommend Dr. Moniak!

I love Dr Moniak. He delivered both of my kids, in 2012 & 2014. He is friendly & to the point, but makes sure he answers all of your questions. I like that they have an ultrasound tech in the office. The staff is friendly and always helpful. I’ve never had a problem here. The office is small but it’s never full and it is always clean. I also like that there is a lab in the same building; so I never had to go far to get my blood drawn or for my gestational diabetes test. I delivered at hoag both times, which is conveniently right across the street from the office. Both of my deliveries were pretty fast and easy. Dr Moniak always got there right on time and knew exactly what to do. It was great. I would definitely come back if I have another baby & definitely recommend to others.

After reading such mixed reviews, some as low as one star, and as high as four stars, I felt compelled to give my review.
I just gave birth to my son in February, and Dr. Moniak is outstanding. There is a security in knowing that the physician assisting you in giving (life!) has many, many years of experience. Now, I’m not one to just agree with everyone and just give my four stars away. He does tend to, talk to you in a «condescending» tone, but please remember that an experienced professional has gone through time and time again, the same annoying questions, same instances and same scenarios. 30 plus years of his routine outweigh our newbie pregnancy questions. If you want a «foofie, let me coddle you», mentality then please, find yourself a kind midwife or doula. If you want straight and professional answers by a seasoned OBGYN, I highly recommend Dr. Moniak. I had the dumbest ever questions about pains in my side, heartburn, cough drops, and he basically told me to lead by my body. Gave me options and alternatives based on if I wanted meds or not. If you want someone to hold your hand, Dr. Moniak is not. If you are strong and smart enough to listen and respond to your own body, then I highly suggest this Doctor. Plus and added bonus, I was able to give birth at Hoag in Newport Beach, a hospital he has privileges at, literally called him at bed time (1030 pm) and delivered my baby ten minutes before midnight. Great experience and got to keep a prize at the end.

He is very thorough and knowledgeable. Very clean office and the staff is extremely attentive, caring and kind. He is highly sought of therefore wait time can be lengthy, this would be my only downfall however which doctor office doesn’t have a wait time even with an appointment. To my opinion he is the best!

My wife, 45 y.o. with a history of thyroid and uterine problems, went to this bozo today and wow, what a douche! Not only did he cite a ton of incorrect medical info — i.e. the uterus does not produce hormones — he did not even examine my wife, nor look at her medical history at all, before blurting out, «You should just get a hysterectomy.»
He also speaks down to patients, as if they’re 7, and has a serious God complex. Anyone who knee-​jerks into the recommendation to get a hysterectomy with absolutely ZERO patient information should get a job outside of the medical profession.
Perhaps Moniak is an okay baby-​deliverer, but do not trust him with ANYTHING else.

Dr. Moniak has been a wonderful Dr to me. He recently did my TVH and did an awesome job. I went home the same day. He has a good bed side manner and is very knowledgeable. Always asking me if I have any further questions. His office staff is very friendly and helpful as well. Even after i called them several different times to ask random questions about surgery.

Amazing staff and amazing doctor! I come here for my pregnancy and best believe this staff is so nice and so competent, dr moniak is such an amazing doctor. He listens to you, he makes sure his patients get the best care possible. They have two ultra sounds techs which is so awesome. I strongly recommend dr moniak to the future mommies out there. He is an ob, as well an gynecologist. So if you’re in there and an he has to leave for an emergency its definitely not his or the offices’ fault. When emergencies call he’s right there. I am so happy I chose this office for my prenatal care. I couldn’t be happier. Good job dr moniak and all the ladies in there! :-) (keep in mind some Unilocalers are just a little uptight)

I’ve been with this practice for about four months and I couldn’t be happier. The office is very clean, well staffed, and everyone is friendly. They have an ultrasound tech onsite which is a huge plus. Dr Moniak himself is great, I’ve never felt rushed and he always fully answers my questions. The building has plenty of free parking, another big plus, and there are two different labs in the building which is super convenient, I’ve never had to leave to get blood work done.
A dear doctor I used to see year ago until he retired had a very fitting sign hanging in his office… An OB’s time is never his own, thank you for your patience! It may be inconvenient to have an appointment rescheduled but emergencies come up, babies are born, and when it’s your turn you’ll be glad you have a doctor who is there!

My wife had her appt randomly canceled, they suck

Worst staff ever. Don’t bother wasting your time with them. They gave me the run around just to book an apt for a week. They kept rescheduling my appts, or i was either not on the schedule. It’s a shame if he is a good Dr, bc the staff seems to not know what they are doing. They need more/​better training. I would not trust my pregnancy on a staff who can’t properly book an apt. How hard is it?

Love Dr Moniak and all the ladies in the office. They made my pregnancy check ups a great experience for me and my husband. Patty is especially great

Dr Moniak is a wonderful dr. He delivered our daughter Sophia McKenzie yesterday at Hoag. His caring demeanor and calming skills in the deliver room made it a wonderful experience for us. As far as the other reviews saying the office reschedules a lot and long waits on appointments. you have to keep in mind there is now way to schedule a delivery on an exact time. I’m sure he has to change his schedule time to time to accommodate his patients. We only had 1 reschedule the whole time prior to birth. Dr Moniak thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have blessed us with our beautiful daughter.

Dr Moniak is caring considerate and professional. He listens to his patients and addresses any issues. I was referred to him after my original dr retired. I had the best prenatal care. The office staff is great and works to keep your appointment on time. He has all the equipment for sonograms in his office and the nicest tech who is very thorough. Great rapport and down to earth.

Dr. Moniak is amazing. I have never received such good care from a doctor and have recommended him to several friends, all who have had a great experience. He takes time to talk to you about your concerns and as I have gotten older addressed different health concerns.

Probably not the best but no complaints!

Please be very careful when seeing Dr. Moniak. I had a horrible experience with him during my first pregnancy. Not only did he fail to inform me that I was an RHnegative mother (while I bled during pregnancy), but he was condescending, rude and brushed off my concerns, that later turned out to be true. He is callus, and does not care about his patients. He is overworked and over it. Please, do not trust your precious pregnancy with this doctor.
