Nadini Verma, MD

Dr. Verma is amazing. I had an episiotomy when I gave birth to my daughter, and after two months of excruciating pain, my doctor told me that I had granulation tissue that would never heal. He said my only options were to live with the pain or have surgery to cut the wound open again, restitch it, and hope that the scar tissue didn’t return. I was beside myself. I didn’t want to interrupt breastfeeding for a surgery — and the idea of starting the painful healing process all over again was utterly disheartening. I decided to get a second opinion, and Dr. Verma came highly recommended from a friend. When I went to see her, she was immediately sympathetic. Finally, I felt like someone understood the pain I was in and wanted to help me feel like myself again. She gave me estrogen and a pain reliever, from which I saw immediate results. The next visit, she began a simple treatment of silver nitrate. After a few more treatments, I was completely healed. I don’t even think about the pain anymore because it’s not there. No surgery required. I was so angry at my previous doctor for his «care» that I called him afterwords to tell him what had happened. Of course, he was less than interested. There are so many doctors out there who lack compassion and expertise. And sometimes it’s impossible to know that you have such a doctor until it’s too late. Dr. Verma is the complete opposite of this. She gave me such a gift — the ability to enjoy this precious time with my baby girl pain-​free. I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Dr. Verma!

I have been a patient of Dr. Verma’s for 10 years and she is the kindest, most compassionate doctor I have ever dealt with. She makes a situation/​context that isn’t naturally comfortable exactly that. She remembers my background, asks questions, and is just generally warm and lovely to be around.
Her office has always been great and accommodating as well. I am DEVASTATED that they will no longer accept my insurance (my employer recently transitioned to United Health — I was previously on Blue Cross) because I will not be able to see her any more in network!

Dr. Verma has been my OB/​Gyn for over 19 years. She delivered my son 18 years ago and my twin daughters 13 years ago. She is a compassionate, understanding and gentle doctor. My experiences in her care have been the right balance of personal and professional. During my pregnancies, even my husband looked forward to our appointments so he could ask his questions. We both have tremendous respect for Dr. Verma and highly recommend her to any new patient. I have complete trust in her diagnosis and treatments. She recently treated me for perimenopausal symptoms which were quickly handled. I can’t think of a more competent and caring doctor and feel so lucky to be Dr Verma’s patient.

I am very disturbed to read the comments about Dr. Verma.
I find Dr. Verma to be one of the most compassionate, kind, understanding, knowledgeable, patient doctors that I have ever dealt with.
She takes the time to discuss all your concerns and issues. I even send my daughter to her.
She has helped me greatly and I consider her a friend that is how much I think of her as a woman and a professional.
I applaud her thoroughness.
I also had an unpleasant episode with one of her staff. I went straight to Dr. Verma and made her aware of the issue.
Please, if you ever have a problem, reach out to Dr. Verma. Additionally, I have always found Edna a very kind, helpful and responsive staff member.
Don’t allow any office or insurance issues deter you from being seen by an amazing doctor and person.
Dr. Verma is very invested in women’s health, both emotionally and physically.
I have had more than my share of gynecological issues and I can attest to the fact that Dr. Verma is the real deal.

The very best at everything and has been my doctor for over 20 years!

If I could give negative stars I would.
Her office failed to tell me they did not take my insurance and I am now facing over $ 700 in bills from both Dr. Verma and from the lab (I did not authorize lab tests be done but apparently this doesn’t make a difference).
If you make the mistake of dealing with this physician just make sure you’re not being scammed… fool me once.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Verma for many years.
I find the office staff particularly sweet. They always remember my name and on a recent occasion, made sure to do their best with a scheduling problem I had. I would recommend Dr. Verma on the office staff alone.
Dr. Verma is intuitive, a good listener and caring and I trust her.

Dr. Verma is a nice woman. I imagine that being a Dr is hard right now with insurance the way it is. HOWEVER — they over charge for deductibles, she constantly runs late, the office is pushing for things to build up your bill (come back in for blood work you pay, bone density you pay etc, vitamins you pay etc) and the office staff can be a bit rude. I would find a doctor who is not this close to retirement.

If I could give no stars, I would.
I have never written a review. But I am so upset, so disappointed, I had to let others know how unprofessional this office is.
I loved Dr. Verma from the first appointment. She listens, treats you like you are intelligent, has a demeanor that implies she cares.
But obviously not.
I had an appointment last week, have been feeling really exhausted, and we discussed why and I had my blood work drawn. We talked about a plan given the results. When my blood work came in a few days later, I was told nothing could be done unless I make a follow up appointment. That was never told to me while I was in the office, although I asked.
They were to busy at the time to even hear me.
I can’t get an appointment for 6 weeks. Six weeks!!!
So I went in to get help, discussed a treatment plan, and now I’m supposed to wait six weeks before it can start. Most doctors will at least call you to tell you your blood work results, in order to speak to Dr. Verma, you have to pay $ 150!
I don’t even need her to call me, just call in the prescription we discussed and help me feel better! Her office staff treated me rudely, as if I was asking for something unreasonable.
I know things are changing and doctors are asking for «concierge» fees now to make up what they are not getting from insurance companies, but when they totally lose sight of helping their patients, that’s when they should call it a day.

I have been seeing Dr. Verma for years. She is a physician who really listens and cares about the whole patient. The exam rooms have lamps that provide soft lighting to cut down on the sterile environment and the anxiety it can sometimes produce. As a woman, Dr. Verma is so sensitive to a woman’s needs. I have had outpatient and inpatient procedures with Dr. Verma and she is skilled and swift. Finally, I like that she takes into consideration your age, your overall health and other factors before recommending medicines and/​or vitamins and supplements. Once you become a patient of Dr. Verma’s, you will be one for life, like me!

Unprofessional and unacceptable practices by staff.
As an existing patient of Dr. Verma, I called with an emergency. The receptionist was extremely rude (i.e. spoke over me to have a conversation with another person without asking me to hold). Also, there was a serious lack of an attempt to schedule an appointment.
I believe Dr. Verma is a good doctor, however, because of several unpleasant experiences with staff, I won’t be making another appointment with Dr. Verma in the future.

Really enjoyed attending my wife’s prenatals with Dr Verma. She is a kind, warm, and patient doctor. We were also grateful that she was supportive of our desire to have a home-​birth, and referred us to a phenomenal midwife, Davi Khalsa.

(7−30−14) I have serious ethical and moral issues with a doctor who operates such as this one. You see, I was looking for a OBGYN who would be closer to home for me and was referred Dr. Nadini Verma by two friends of mine. After looking up positive reviews on the internet, it seemed that I may have found her.
I called the office and told them I was referred. They started to take my info as a new patient. I also asked if they take Blue Cross EPO. She said yes. I then offered that I was Covered CA. She said oh I’m sorry we don’t take it.
I said that’s too bad, I was hoping to see the Dr. I asked if they plan to accept the coverage after all, I have the most expensive and best coverage plan, the platinum plan. She told me that they had several patients that had covered CA in the new year but they came to find out that they as a provider were not covered. She then said a little under her breath that Covered CA did not pick them as a provider and they were a little upset about it.
I then called up blue cross under Covered CA and they confirmed via 2 different systems that Dr. Nadini Verma at that address was indeed covered. I also looked up via the website address on the back of my card and I saw that she was covered. I was excited. I couldn’t wait to tell her office they were indeed covered!!! Yay. I asked Blue Cross if there was any email, fax or anything they can give me to show the office they are indeed covered. He said they should know, but if any problems all they need to do is call them and they will confirm. The gentleman from Blue Cross also gave me a track number to give them to confirm if any problems.
I immediately called back. I again told them I was a new patient and wanted to make an appointment for Dr. VermaI was put on hold for a small bit, then when I got the woman back on the phone, she proceeded to take my information. I told her I was the one that called about 15 mins earlier with covered CA and that I had great news, that they were covered.
Her voice changed immediately and she said well, we won’t take it. I asked what do you mean? Earlier you told me a different story, that you would love to accept it, but were not picked. Now you are telling me you will not take it? She said that is correct the Doctor will not take it and it’s her decision. I said that’s not right? Why would you deny it? She said it’s the doctor’s choice and she doesn’t have to. She started to get snappy with me and said, listen she is NOT taking any new patients. I said you mean she will not take COVERED CA patients.
I told her there is no way I would want to be a patient of a doctor who obviously doesn’t care about people. I’m curious how a doctor can take blue cross, but not take blue cross covered california?
I urge you to think twice about this doctor. And also about an office that can blatantly lie to you. What else do they lie about?

I made an appointment a few weeks ago. Took time of work to go in. Once i arrived i was told that they no longer take my insurance — Blue shield.
There was another woman there in tears of the same thing.
I wasted a morning going in. I asked why would then not have told me BEFORE wasting my time. They had no answer. I refuse to pay for insurance and do biz with doctors who do not take it.

Dr. Verma is maybe the nicest doctor I have ever seen! She is kind and understanding and for someone like me, a nervous nelly with needles and exams, she always puts me at ease. It is rare to find a doctor with so much empathy. I am very grateful I have her as my doctor.
The office, by the way, is also kind and patient. There has never been a bad experience for me in her office, and believe me when I say, I am a little high maintenance, and they always make me comfortable.

I just got off the phone with the receptionist on July 31^st at 10:05am. She was very rude and hung up on me! Have nothing bad to say about the Dr. or the place because I have never been their but the women who answered the phone hung up on me with out saying bye. It was not Verna because I heard her say her name out loud. Never got her name. Not nice. I would give her 0 stars if I could but don’t want to lower her ratings for one bad employee.

Dr. Verma is the best! I was referred by a close friend who found her and spoke so highly or her. Both of us are very picky when it comes to finding just the right doctor, especially an OB/​GYN. I have seen a few other doctors near my home that just weren’t right for me and I now drive from Irvine to Santa Monica to see Dr. Verma! I discussed my issues with her and she did several tests and found a couple of important issues, got me on supplements and now I am completely back to normal, even better than normal! I feel very comfortable with her, she is very thorough, appreciates when I type a list of my questions and concerns and actually reads every single thing on the list and answers them all! Have never had a doctor who does this! She is open to my more alternative and natural approach to my health. She treats you as a whole person, even looking at nutrition and lifestyle. I greatly trust her with my health. She has a wonderfully sweet demeanor, very kind and caring. Gives you plenty of her time and attention and asks if she has covered everything. And when I have an important question that her really great staff of nurses can’t answer, Dr. Verma calls me herself. She is honestly the best doctor I have ever seen!

If not for Dr. Verma I would not have my wonderful son, pure and simple. I was an older mom and having trouble getting pregnant. It’s a very long story, but I sit here today with an 18 year old son who is the light of my life! Thank you Dr. Verma!

I was so lucky to be referred to Dr. Verma 23 years ago when she delivered my son into this world. Since then she has been an extraordinary wealth of wisdom and guidance as my gynocologist.
She has come through for me on all matters involving my health with her medical expertise, as well as with her grace and calm. I have sent many friends to her over the years and they all have become devoted patients too, because Dr. Verma is simply one of the most learned doctors I have ever met anywhere. She asks the right questions, listens, observes, and considers the patient holistically. My daughter is now an adoring patient of Dr. Verma’s and feels so safe in her care. I am very grateful and honored to have Dr. Verma as my doctor.
