In patients' words

"The words that came to mind were “factory farm.” I used to have an amazing OB... but she retired... My attempts to find another good, independent OB in the East Bay were not successful, unfortunately."

— Berkeley Parents Network

"I am in my third trimester and have been seeing Dr. Madhavan at Sutter Health's Milvia location my whole pregnancy. I am very happy with my care... She emails me her interpretation of my test results within a few hours... It does seem like all of the doctors are very busy at Sutter Health."
