Daniel Barajas, MD

Everything is cool except the older incompetent receptionist who works the front. Delayed authorizations and mixed up appointments. They need to replace her with someone who knows what they’re doing.

I really like Dr. Daniel Barajas, he delivered one of my kids and well the second one the nurses didn’t call him on time because they don’t think someone can dilate quickly? That’s another story about the hospital A lot of people are complaining about waiting that’s what you’re in for when dealing with OB/​GYN offices Dr’s have to leave, and patient’s have to wait. Aside from that he has a wonderful bedside manner… I think many Dr’s now forget about, he’s very calm and that’s great because the last thing a pregnant woman needs is more stress you always feel relaxed around him he takes time to answer any questions/concerns…when he arrives at the hospital every one stops being crazy… like I said hospital, another story Wish he could be my regular Dr

I went to Dr Barajas late into my pregnancy (almost 13 years ago) He delivered my son via C-​section. He’s a kind and gentle Doctor, I was not afraid to see a male obgyn especially after having had a bad experience with another local female obgyn. He has a pleasant demeanor which is why I continued to go to him for my routine gynecological needs throughout the years. After some time, I realized it wasn’t worth it anymore. Just for a routine pap, the waiting time was ridiculous. One time, after having scheduled time off of work for an appointment, I waited and waited only to finally have them tell me he had an emergency and was called to deliver a baby. Understandable, right? Except that the staff didn’t inform me until I asked. The front desk staff has been insanely rude and unprofessional but I liked the Dr enough to continue going there. I called today to make a follow up appointment and was on hold for 14 minutes until someone finally helped me. I think it’s time to do some research and find me another Dr. Sorry Dr B, you’re awesome but your staff is awful. Throughout the years, I have recommended other patients here but won’t be doing so any longer.

Coming back for my second child. I wanted to switch doctors to them, and one of the medical assistants blew me off. Rude as hell reminded me why I shouldn’t go there. Poor Doctor he’s a nice guy it’s a shame the medical assistants are rude

I would give Dr. Barajas’ office zero stars; however, Unilocal requires at least one star. Everything about this office is unprofessional and unsanitary. The receptionists are very rude. They are very unorganized. They will hang up in your face and pretend they lost your information or appointment. DO NOT COME HERE. You’re better off going to another office. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Dr. Barajas is the best and I highly recommend him! This is a long overdue review. In 2014 I became pregnant with my son. I moved mid pregnancy and was sent to Dr. Barajas through my insurance at around 22weeks. At first I was nervous because this was my first pregnancy and I for whatever reason at the time wanted a female Doctor and being that my pregnancy was half way over I wasn’t sure the trust and relationship would be there. I also checked Unilocal before going to his office and it made me even more nervous with so many negative reviews. The staff helped me make sure my files were sent over and there before my first visit so that he would have all my information (I had a few tests early pregnancy for my personal medical reasons). He was very informed and I felt very comfortable within our first visit. My son was breech at 6m and he told me not to worry that he would naturally turn on his own and even gave me some advice to natural turn him. He ended up being head down in time for delivery, Thank goodness! The wait time for his office can take some time. But now knowing the ins and out of obgyns I would rather know my Doctor is delivering for his patients and not some «on call doctor» I was scared because so many of my friends and family had a doctors they had never met delivery their baby. So I stressed it to Dr. Barajas I wanted him there for my delivery and I had this elaborate birth plan (lol). Everything was followed and he natural and safely delivered my son at «Citrus Valley Medical Center» in October 2014. The cord was around his neck and we were still able to have the Natural birth that I desired because of his safe and amazing knowledge and skill. I will proudly recommend him to anyone and I will definitely go back to him for my second pregnancy (when and if we are blessed) Thank you Dr. Barajas and to his staff I had the best pregnancy and birth experience I could have ever hoped for! I always say I wish I could relive my labor and delivery it was the best day of my life, thanks again!

Dr. Barajas is sincerely the best Obgyn. He has been my doctor for the past 12 years. I just became pregnant after 9 years and came back to him again. The staff is completely new, haven’t dealt with them much so we will see how it goes. Some Unilocal reviewers complained of the wait time but come on, he is really busy and it’s a good thing. Also understand the nature of the practice, he has regular appts, emergency walk-​ins, and deliveries. When you go see a doctor, any doctor you aren’t always seen right on the dot, I work in the medical field so I know first hand things come up on a daily basis and adjustments need to be made to the work loads and schedules. Overall Dr. Barajas is great and very caring and I recommend him to everyone.

Love! Love! Love him! Staff on the other sucks. Most the girls are pretty much ok but worst is the chunky one I think her name is Olga. If I called in to ask a question before she answered the question she would leave me on hold for what seems like ever, finally she would come back and make me repeat everything. So frustrating for a pregnant first time mom!!! I also needed help with filing for the disability leave, she was no help she just told me to look online or call another day to talk to another one of the girls there but she’s no help either. After each appt the dr would walk me to the counter were she was supposed to make my next appt she would just leave me there standing for mins till she decided to help me. It’s seem like now she’s not the lead front desk but I still hate calling and having her answer, because I know I’m either gonna have to be on hold for a long time or my problem is not gonna get resolved.
He just delivered my baby this past december and I can’t say enough good things about this dr, not only did I love him but my husband loved him too. This was my first child and the dr was so understanding and helpful, for being a male dr I felt so comfortable with him. If I had another child I don’t know if I would go back to him again because of his staff and did I mention the wait is ALWAYS long even if I was scheduled for the first appt.

Oh dear god do not visit this OBGYN. Run far away. What a nightmare it was. Twice. Ugh.

Terrible malpracticed doctor! Let me start off by saying I liked him a lot when I first started seeing him early in my pregnancy. I was willing to deal with his rude ghetto staff & waiting over an hour with appointment, only to be seen for a measly 5 – 10 minutes… long story short, he found out I was seeing a midwife (I wanted to have my baby as natural without medical intervention) & became a rude asshole who had the fatest attitude everytime I went in for an appointment. I mean I was pregnant with my first baby, vulnerable & just constantly anxious hoping everything that is happening to me is normal… he made my pregnancy stressful. not only that when I went into labor & gone into the hospital & waiting to get admitted into labor/​delivery he came in & told me word for word «what are you doing here. why don’t you go home & have your son there» I mean who says that to a woman while she is in labor. overall he is a coward & I don’t recommend you ladies to give him your time nor money!

Let me start by saying Ive been with Dr Barajas for 14 years. Ive been with him with 3 pregnancies as well as other reasons. He is so caring and his voice in a normally scary situation is calm and reassuring. Yes he gets busy but come on ladies, he delivers babies, what would you expect? Before his office even opens hes at the hospital delivering babies or performing other surgeries. If something doesn’t go smoothly of course he will be late. I would be more concerned with a Ob/​Gyn that is always in the office on time. (that usually means that Dr wont be the one delivering your baby) I started seeing him when i was 16, Im now 31 and hes still my OB/​Gyn. I have never had a bad experience with him BUT, I will be honest and say since a change in nursing staff, there have been some issues in regards to paperwork. However, I have faith that everything will fall into place as it should. I have heard him talk to nurses in the past and he does have reasonable expectations of his staff. The Dr does do consultation both in person and over the phone. It just depends on the severity i think. If its not a pressing issue, its cheaper for you if the nurses just give you a call, rather then having you come in the office and you or your ins. being charged. Overall, yes some of the staff needs to get their act together but even so i still wouldn’t trade my Dr for anything. Voice your concern to the dr in a polite matter. I’m sure he will discuss it with his staff and things will get easier.

Dr Barajas is in my opinion one of the best drs around!!! He always amazes me on how busy he is but always treats you and gives you his undivided attention. I have diabetes and he always takes very good care of me!!! Thank you a zillion times for being you! And his nurses are sweet very personable ladies. I’m here for the 2^nd time around and wouldn’t have it any other way!

The office is completely unorganized and doesn’t know what they are doing. My first OBGYN appt and unfortunately Dr. Barajas was the first so left a horrible first experience. First they couldn’t even find my appt at all and «accidentally threw the paper away»
Apparently he doesn’t do consultations and instead of his staff calling you back to inform you and cancel, they allow you to take time off work, come in at the scheduled appt time just to then tell you he won’t see you and lost the appt completely (people are a joke)
In retrospect I’m glad they didn’t see me, how can I trust a group of people to deliver the most important thing in the world to me when they can’t even keep track of a simple appt and piece of paper.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone going here with incompetent staff and incompetent provider. I work for a managed health care company so have lots of experience with providers, across all practices and specialties, and never had an experience quite like this. So inconsiderate, staff and provider alike. I will be lodging a complaint against him to the state of California medical board and to my Aetna PPO.

I couldn’t agree more with Jennifer the other reviewer. The office is so unorganized. For being a cash patient you would think they would take care of their patients more. They have about 6 girls working in that office and NO supervisor. I think that is kind of odd. If you make an appointment expect to wait awhile. Next if you get labs taken make sure to call the LAB and ask if they sent them. I went in on Monday and its Thursday and my lab was never sent in. Also when you call the office you are put on hold for more than 5 minutes then they come back to phone asking what you called for. For real! Customer Service there does not exist. That office has a lack of experience and I do believe that the doctor needs to make changes. I hope others read this and don’t make the same mistake I made and come here based on a good review because my experince was the worst. I never been treated like this in my life especially by a medical office. So sad!

This place is always crowded and the staff is ridiculous. I had a terrible experience with another doctor, and made an appointment to meet Barajas. I wanted to see if he was the doctor that I could feel comfortable with to deliver my first child. They set me up with an appointment, knowing what I made it for just to waste my time. They wouldn’t let me meet him without getting my record release from my old doctor. I told them I didn’t want to commit until I met him. How does that make any sense? So I just have to take a risk of him being worse than my old doctor and going through more hassle to change again, no thank you!
WASTE OF TIME!

I just recently started taking my daughter to Dr. Barajas, and as she is only 19 years old she was very scared for her first exam, first everything to do with pregnancy. I was nervous too, as it would be her first time with a male doctor. The doctor is the most nice, caring and soft spoken person I have ever met. We never have a long wait, the staff is always very nice and accommodating. Today I mixed up our appointment time, we were supposed to be there at 11:00, I thought it was at 3, so when I realized my mistake I called to ask if we could still come in or just wait for our Monday appt. (she sees the dr. twice a week because she is a type 1 diabetic and he is really good about monitoring the baby!) The girl said to come in anyways, when we got there, no one else was there! They were actually done seeing patients for the day, but knew it was important for my daughter to be monitored so they made an exception for us! We never feel rushed or embarrassed or scared like sometimes happens with doctors. I am so glad our primary care doctor recommended him to us! He really does seem to genuinely care about his patients, he makes you feel like you are the most important thing to him! I highly recommend him!

I will never set foot in this place again. The staff is a ridiculous joke. I had my first appointment and waited 2hours to be seen, even with the first 830 am appointment. Was not seen til after 10am. Hello, why schedule appointments if you cannot keep them??? I made another mistake by coming in again the following week to get blood drawn, and have called back everyday to get my results, and I’m still waiting for the results. Every time I call I get put on hold for over ten minutes only to hear they don’t have the information I need. There are about 6 ladies that work here, completely ruined the experience of appreciating a good doctor. He needs to recruit better staff and train customer service. Will never go back.

Dr. Daniel Barajas M.D. is one of THEE BEST OBGYN Dr. I have ever had. I am pregnant with my 3^rd baby, my oldest is 2 and my youngest is 1 and I am 7 weeks with my 3^rd. He delivered my second child and if I would’ve known he was that good I would’ve delivered my first born there. I had the worst pregnancy with my first and my Dr was HORRIBLE and not compassionate at all. I lost 20 pounds with my first and was in and out of the hospital because of severe morning sickness and at the time kept spotting and feared i would lost the pregnancy. After I spoke with all my cousins who were patients of Dr. Barajas I realized that he was the one that was going to deliver my second. I was nervous because my first experience with another dr was so bad that I thought all births would be like that. Boy was I wrong. When I west to my first appt he did an ultrasound and asked if I had any questions and I did. My husband did not get to cut the cord in the first birth so we really wanted to emphasize that if everything goes according to plan then he would want to cut the cord. He had absolutely no problem with that. I kept going for my appts as usual and by the time i knew it I was 36 weeks preggers and was in a car accident that totaled my car and he was very concerned with the impact and had me go in 3 times that week and following week just to make sure we were okay. I honestly felt like I was a priority and he wasn’t just there to make his money and be done with me. He genuinely cared. I will be going back with every pregnancy, he has the best bedside manner. He Cares and is always there to answer questions about even the dumbest things. I swear by him and recommend him for all your womanly needs including childbirth. THE BEST DR.

I was very dissapointed with Dr. Barajas, if you want a cold doctor that seems that someone is putting a gun to his head to work, then maybe you should go here. The only reason i didnt give hime 1 star is because they gave me free birth control. There is no doubt he has experience by the many baby pictures on the wall but i am defenitly switching as soon as possible. I am not pregnant but went in for extreme menstration problems, and just like my general doctor he too could not give me a difinitive answer and just dispened me birth control. After explaining to him that i did not want to be on birth control for a long time because of the health reasons that everybody seems to know, but this docotor! I told him that in the long run it affects you when you want to have kids and that it has shown to increase your chances of cancer; he looked at me as if i was crazy and told me he didnt know where i had read such things, and that they were wrong. However evryone from Dr. Oz to professionals on the Tyra show and even top universities have concluded that birth control does have the effects i explained to him. So if he is such an expert he should obviously know these facts and studies, so i didnt appreciate that he was not real with me in revealing information. Honesly go see someone else, preferably a girl obgyn because this man is not going to give u the right information and he does not make you feel comfortable. The only reason he has so many people is because the insurance refers you to this place!

I absolutely had a very good and postive experience. I was referred to this doctor by my primary doctor who had trouble performing my annual lady exam. Before my appt I did call and ask the staff questions about this doctor to prepapre myself. All were answered and she explained that this doctor delivered her own children. Now im thinking this could be why I was comfortable here bcuz I miss my former doctor who delivered my children who happens to be male. The office is in a 2-​story light beige building on the east side of the street. Downstairs is occupied by a out patient surgery center and Dr. Barajas and others are upstairs. I dont remember seeing an elevator but thats perfect bcuz Im afraid of them. TThe building is not the nicest or the cleanest or in the best area but I liked the homey feeling it had. Thats a property mgmnt issue not the doctors. Dr. Barajas is considered a specialist and by the full waiting room I was convinced of it. He’s a fifty ish looking hispanic man. I admit I was nervous bcuz ive had bad experience with my doctor who is female and this one is male. The staff were welcoming and easy to talk to. You first get called to answer questions and check vitals, you go back and sit in the lobby. Then you are called a second time when an exam room bcomes available. I did wait but not very long in the patient room which I hate the most bcuz I sit there mostly naked an getting anxious. When it was my turn he and the nurse walked in and didnt give out the hurry up and finish vibe I get from other doctors. Equipment was set-​up and the exam was over before I knew it. He explained everything and gently checked my other areas but I didnt get a creepy feeling like a thought I would. I didnt even feel like I have been examined. I felt no pain or nausous feeling like I did with my doctor. I would litterly get light headed and quietly vomit when she was done. After the exam he asked if I had any concerns, I asked for confirmation of what my doctor said but He kinda chuckled and dismissed my doctors claim that I had a retroverted uterus. That was not the case. She just didnt know what she was doing. I was very pleased and appreciated both nurse and doctor asked if I had questions anmd were genuine in listening. We discussed my birth control options and they were very accomadating with continuing to get my current prescription refilled. They waited as I ws allowed to call my pharmacist and ask if they had my medication available. Young and old women filled the waiting room and all seemed pleased by the way they were served. It seemed as if this was the place to catch up with old friends or neighbors. it seemed like a community office who existed for patient care not to get rich. When I was done I quickly proclaimed to my daughter that it would be my mission to get all future lady exams done here and no longer at my doctors office. I was able to conclude my doctors office is so depressing and gives me a cold feeling compared to this one. I also luv that this office accepts credit cards to pay any co-​payments. i will write more if I remember.
