Erika Balassiano, MD

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Balassiano, she was my primary OB at El Camino Hospital throughout my pregnancy and pre pregnancy. Dr. Balassiano is an excellent doctor. she is not only knowledgeable but she cares about her patient. Answers every question patiently and provides good guidance and consultation.

We had really great experience with our baby delivery and postterm discussion with Dr. Balassiano. She is professional, expert, understanding and friendly nature. She always listen to patient carefully, gives enough time and support whenever needed. I definitely recommend Dr. Balasiano.

They systematically make people wait. I usually go in a bit early so no one has to wait for me, and they made me wait every single time between 40 mins and 1 hour over the scheduled time. They show no intention of trying to correct this and have no respect for people’s time.

Dr. Erika was friendly and guided me well, she understood my complicated issues and helped me get through them. She made sure I did not have to keep dealing with the same issue by taking necessary quick actions, really appreciate her for that.

She explained everything and was very calm and positive. She gave time to ask questions and was in no hurry. I had to wait a bit longer to get my appointment started but I was told to come 30 minutes before which I dint so it’s on me. Overall the staff is also very sweet and understanding. Like by the end of the appointment I had to get some bloodwork done but I had a work call so I asked them to give me the list of tests and I’ll get it done some other day. They gave me the list in couple of minutes and I was out right away.

Dr Balassiano has been my OB doctor for the past 5 years. She helped me with two pregnancy. She is one of the best! She is always super calming, reliable and has the best expertise.

Great doctor - Our pregnancy went exceptionally well from early stages to final delivery despite blood pressure, 2 VC etc. In each of the consultations we felt very reassured and she advised us on exactly what to do. She came to our delivery in the middle of the night as well. She is an exemplary doctor. We initially wanted Dr.Azad and felt bad when she wasn't available. Now we really think it was blessing in disguise and we have been very blessed to have Dr. Balassiano as our doctor. Thank a lot Dr. Balassiano and we are very indebted to you!

I absolutely adore Dr. Erika Balassiano. She has always treated me with kindness and patience. One of the best doctors I've ever seen. I highly recommend her.

Horrific experience! Did not listen to patient and MISSED PID - diagnosing as yeast infection instead. Level of incompetence is astounding! Even failed at following up! Did not run requisite tests during appointment so said they would email lab order - but never emailed the lab order as promised. Both incredibly rude and dismissive - but also totally incompetent. Another doc a week later was appalled when she made the correct diagnosis. Completely dangerous!

We had a bad experience at this clinic. There was a 1 month wait for our first OBGYN appointment and we went on time. However the staff at the clinic turned us away saying we were supposed to be 30min early to fill a couple forms and that they left a voice message. We didn't receive any such voice message or call. They wanted us to reschedule to a different day after waiting for a month.
