Lela Emad, MD

Really happy we chose Dr. Emad to follow my wife’s pregnancy. We had a lot of complications, and ending up having a high risk pregnancy. Dr. Emad’s up-​beat, positive attitude kept us positive throughout the entire pregnancy. She is very efficient and has a huge practice. Always took the time to answer our questions, re-​assuring us with her medical knowledge and caring bedside manner.

I made an appointment for a gynecologic issue that had arisen. I have an MD degree and a pharmacy background, so I can usually skirt doctors, but I needed an ultrasound to make the diagnosis for this issue. Dr. Emad was pleasant enough, but offered a ludicrous guess at my diagnosis and kept pushing for preventative services that weren’t indicated for me. She did order the ultrasound, but I had to make a separate appointment with a radiologist when they have and ultrasound machine in the office. The radiologist made the diagnosis which was of course nothing like what she had suggested. I kept the follow up appointment which was disappointing and I left wondering why I’d bothered to come in the first place.
Later I made another appointment for a separate issue; I was told Dr. Emad didn’t perform the service I requested but was given an appointment with Dr. Shah who the front desk person said would do it. When I arrived for that appointment, Dr. Shah said she didn’t perform the service either but since I had shown up I would be billed anyway. I paid for a follow up ultrasound. A year later I receive another bill from Women’s OBGYN. I called and left messages for three weeks before I got a call back. Vicki from billing essentially said I would have to deal with the insurance company myself even though I had changed employers and insurance companies. I expressed my displeasure with my experiences there and she said she would «pull the chart for Dr. Emad» and get back to me. Didn’t hear anything, received another bill. I went to the office personally and was told all the billing people were at lunch around 11am but the front desk attendant would have them call me back. Never received a call but did receive a collection notice a while later.
I can’t speak to Dr. Emad’s surgical or obstetric expertise, but I would not recommend her for gyen issues based on my experience. In addition, the front and back end staff appear to lack competence and it’s really not worth this kind of headache when there are so many other choices.

Pretty much confirmed the fact not to bother trusting regular Drs. anymore. In my opinion they’re just paid drug dealers nowadays. Wasted $ 40 on a copay to have one of the Drs. guess what my problem could possibly be, prescribe me antibiotics as if it were candy and send me on my way with out ever actually checking to look at what my problem was. I felt very cheated out of my appt. i went to a holistic dr and she took the time i felt i deserved and ACTUALLY FIXED MY PROBLEM WITH OUT JUST SAYING «heres some antibiotics just in case and come see me again in 2 months» unfortunately my insurance doesn’t cover holistic medicine but at least i can finally feel the money coming out of my pocket is worth spending.

She could have introduced herself before she shoved a vacuum extractor into my vagina, but outside of that she was fine. After my birth she encouraged me by telling me if anybody could have pushed that baby out it would have been me. I ended up having a c-​section. My birth was not what I wanted at all but it was absolutely not her fault.
As far as c-​sections go she did great on mine.

Dr. Emad is fantastic. Real person and pays attention.

Very professional. Handled my wives delivery and followed up with us every day of the recovery. First doctor I’ve seen in a while that gives a shit more about her patients than making $$$.
