Stefanie A Mikulics, MD

I have had a few visits with Dr. Mikulics. I have always been greeted very friendly, and felt comfortable with discussing any personal matters with Dr. Mikulics. She takes time and answers any questions thoroughly. Stephanie is very professional and I trust being in her care. Very lovely waiting room, and very clean office.

I am relatively new to the Central Coast and am slowly, but surely, finding empathic and supportive medical care. I recently visited Dr. Mikulics’ office for HRT consultation and gynecological care. I truly appreciated that Dr. Mikulics took time to listen to my concerns and answered my questions. It is clear to me that Dr. Mikulics is extremely knowledgable and has a gift of sharing medical information with patients. I am grateful to have found a gynecologist in the area who I feel I can trust and turn to when needed.

I love this office! Going to the Dr. can often be an anxious and uncomfortable experience but not with this office. Everything from start to finish is not only professional but friendly. I really feel like Dr. Mikulics really took the time to listen and discuss everything with me, offering options and taking into consideration my thoughts. Many times I feel rushed at a Dr. appointment and that I’m not really listened to completely and truly nobody knows my body and/​or symptoms better than I do. I NEVER feel rushed here. Everyone beginning with the front office, to the nurse and especially Dr. Mikulics takes time to have an actual conversation. I’ve had three children and several different OB/GYN’s and Dr. Mikulics is hands down the best I’ve had and it’s mainly because she gives me that one on one personal time!

I went for my first appointment with Dr. Mikulics in early April after searching for doctors in the area who specialize in hormone replacement. I had to wait many months to meet with her, as my insurance was taking awhile to approve through the new healthcare reform. So, I was pretty anxious to get some relief and talk to someone who claimed to be an expert in this arena.
My first impressions were initially pretty good — waiting room is comfortable, receptionist seemed organized, the medical assistant was very nice. While sitting there waiting for my appointment, which surprisingly wasn’t that long — I overheard the receptionist, Penny, being sarcastic and kind of rude on the phone with another patient. I brushed it off, as everything else had been fine so far. My meeting with the doctor went well — she was friendly and answered all of my questions, which I had many!
This was when everything seemed to fall apart… as I came out of the waiting room, I had been instructed to wait before leaving so that Dr. Mikulics could give me some samples while I was waiting for my labs to come back from a previous doctor. Penny, her receptionist, seemed to have no clue as to why I was still there, and I had to tell her. She never offered to book a follow up with me, even though the dr. said she’d want to see me in about a month or so to check in. I left with my samples, and was told there would be a follow up call when the labs came in — about 7 days. More than a week went by, and no call. I called them, and was told there were no labs. I had to explain the whole thing again, verify that I saw Penny fax the request, and that there should be something in my file. The assistant checked, and yes, it was there… so at this point, I was supposed to be given a custom prescription based on my labs. Instead, the assistant tells me that they are just going to prescribe the samples I had been given at first to tide me over!!! What? The whole point of getting labs is so that an R/​X can be customized to a patient’s actual situation/​levels? What kind of an expert does this? I had to tell her again, that no, this was not what I wanted and to please have the doctor review my labs and prescribe something appropriate. She agreed, and called me back that day. The message she left was that she had called it in to a local pharmacy, and I could pick it up… great! Called in the next day, the pharmacy doesn’t have it and the office was on vacation for a week. My frustration level at this point is VERY HIGH. I’m suffering from symptoms, I wanted a solution, and they kept dropping the ball.
I left a message stating my frustration and asking for a call back. When I was called back, it was with Penny — and she started the call on the defense. She was loud, rude, and made it clear that she was not at fault. There was no apology. She immediately defended all actions, told me that it was the pharmacy’s fault, and ended the call with «that I should consider going to another doctor» if this office didn’t work for me!!! She was yelling so loud that everyone in my living room could hear her. My phone died at that point… WOW…I’ve never experienced such rudeness and a lack of service at any doctor’s office and when I think about what I’m paying to see this «expert» — it’s doubly upsetting. In addition, so far after almost a month of dealing with them, I still don’t have a solution to my problem!!!
I wonder if Dr. Mikulics knows what kind of woman she has at the front desk greeting and taking care of her patients at first impression? At this point, I am definitely seeking another experience and wouldn’t recommend this office to anyone.
As of 4/​24, I’ve received a notice that they are no longer accepting me as a patient due to the fact «that I hung up» on her. My cell died, and I didn’t call back. No need to ruin more of Easter Sunday morning with my family!!!

My wife is not a Unilocaler but she was happy to see that Dr. Stefanie (with an «f» unless I am much mistaken) Mikulics was profiled. We travel for family business up to the Paso area all the time and have had need for medical services of all kinds over the years. Dr. Mikulics is great. Super hip and very nice. Her office manager seems solid, too. Very knowledgable. Would recommend her to anyone based on our experience.

I have absolutely no idea why people would ever give Dr. Mikulics anything but 5 stars. I’ve been seeing Dr. Mikulics for a couple of years now. She is extremely kind, thorough and focused on me as a patient when I am there. I’ve never been rushed by her or her staff. I’ve never had to wait for my apt for more than 15 minutes. Her front desk staff has always been very nice. The office is beautiful. It’s done is a very feminine décor with crystal chandeliers and beautiful furniture. From all of the various brochures around the waiting room, you can easily tell that Dr. Mikulics is dedicated to creating a wonderful and complete experience for women. I hope she never retires.

This doctor almost killed my son & I. She was part of my OBs practice (Dr Shan Thomas) I went to ER for pain in my leg. Excruciating pain… she gave an Rx for narcotics, but refused to see me. Apparently was tired from being on call. It turns out I had a blood clot (not uncommon in pregnancy) but because of her negligence it went undetected for months. When it was finally detected I had permanent damage to my body & my baby was born lifeless & had to spend time in the NICU. If you value your life or your unborn baby don’t go to her.

Meh. If you’re looking for a pap smear experience that’s quick, she’s the doc for you. My pap took about 10 minutes, and I felt she didn’t take the time to get to know my medical history or get to know me as a patient. No questions were asked about any other health issues or concerns I had. I’ve been with doctors who actually cared. I prefer to be with an ob/​gyn for years, so I guess I’ll keep searching.

Dr. Mikulics is great. She’s quick and nice, and everything in the office looks clean. Beware of the cold hands though! Still, definitely one of my least painful GYN experiences.
The staff was also really helpful with my insurance questions.
