Not happy with the service

by Frustratedpregnancy at Citysearch

I was and am not happy with my care at Dr.Gail jacksons office. Her staff, one lady in particular, is really difficult to deal with. A few of the others ladies who work in the office seem nice but i am getting tired of repeating myself and getting ignored when I have concerns, and there are many! I hardly ever get informed about what is going on unless I make a point of asking at which case I feel they are not receptive to this, seeming annoyed and often forgetting things. I never get asked if I have questions or concerns and always feel rushed and often ignored. To top it all off my husband and i have had serious billing issues with them which has become REALLY frustrating being that we actually had to get out insurance representative to call the office and explain as the office staff was unable to understand what we were saying insisting we were wrong...we weren't. No apology was made after that even though they were wrong and had caused a day of back and forth on the phone for my husband. We were also told there is a $500 deposit I had to start paying which is untrue according to our insurance policy which just created more confusion...they were unable to explain if it was a deductable or what cost...they just seemed like "well, you will have to start paying it for your delivery ASAP" what??!! yah..um..this will need some explaination. I am a really easy going character normally but I just feel like enough is enough..this is my first baby and there is no reason to feel so clueless or frusrated with something that should be fairly simple..there is nothing complicated about my pregnancy and I have an open schedule for appointments. URK! I am looking into changing OBGYN's, does anyone have recommendations??? I would like to continue at Cedar Sinai Hospital..

• Cons: frustrating office staff

NEEDS TO TAKE MORE TIME

by Toni2009 at Citysearch

As a women we all want to know what could potentially go wrong in the future. She will address that. The draw back is the rush, and not giving details, telling you to read, go on the internet ?????? What are we paying her for. She is more concern with your fashion, or hair, then medical concerns.

I guest she just needs to be a doctor with more concern to the patients needs, and take her time..

• Pros: Is interested in female concerns
• Cons: She is always rushing, cutting you off from question.

One of the BEST !!!!~

by lyrehc at Citysearch

I have been a patient of Dr. Gail Jackson for over 15 years. When my insurance changed, I changed my primary care physician so that I could remain a patient in her medical group.She is a great doctor and I have always received wonderful care from her and her staff. She is always pleasant and caring. A very forward thinking doctor, Dr Jackson seeks the best for her patients. Most of all she is a great person (not perfect but a human being) whom in my opinion is genuinely and sincerely concerned about those in her care. I recommend Dr. Jackson to any woman needing a great GYN-OB -- If I had a daughter I would send her to Dr. Jackson without reservation. She is definitely one of the best!

• Pros: Patient CARE
• Cons: I know of none

Highly Recommended

by kimberi83 at Citysearch

Dr. Jackson is a wonderful person. She makes me feel comfortable (which can be hard to do!), and is extremely intelligent – clearly on top of her game. I truly feel lucky to have discovered her.

• Pros: amazing woman!
• Cons: none

love dr. jackson

by cherylrm at Citysearch

I was having hormone issues and Dr. Jackson was the only doctor to administer bioidentical hormones to me and really explain what she was doing. I have never felt better.

I even met a woman on the street who was saying how great she felt, and I asked why and how? She told me she had been to Dr. J. and went on to gush about how knowledgeable, kind and helpful she had been.

I think I Dr. Jackson is one of the best in town!

• Pros: very knowledgeable
• Cons: none

Great doctor!

by Kristinczzz at Citysearch

I've been going to Gail for a couple years now and I have to say I almost look forward to my checkups! She is sweet and always bubbly so I feel really comfortable (even in uncomfortable positions!). Also, she's super smart and knowledgable--I can tell she's on top of the latest on everything and tells me like it is. I definitely recommend her.

• Pros: smart and really cares
• Cons: going to the obgyn at all!

Bad experience

by tollyone at Citysearch

I wouldn't go back to this gyn. It took several days of pursuing her staff to get lab results back and I found the doctor to be dismissive.

• Pros: There were absolutely no pros

Great Experience!

by Nurseapryl at Citysearch

I've been seeing Dr. Jackson for about 3 years now and I haven't experienced anything negative like what these other people are saying. Actually, she delivered my first baby last November and she was the most incredible doctor I could have imagined! The nurse had me pushing (ineffectively) for hours. Dr. Jackson stopped by, on her lunch break, to check on me, and took control of the whole situation! She was clearly in charge and knew what she was doing in that delivery room! She got me to focus and push the baby out! I remember feeling like I just couldn't do it....until she came along. Once she got there, she made me feel like I could do anything. She was amazing! I will be, forever, grateful to Dr. Jackson for bringing my son into the world!

Please go elsewhere!

by Benny1317 at Citysearch

I had a terrible experience with this doctor. She and her staff left me scared, confused, and often in tears. The wait time is terrible, yes, but I've come to expect that from doctors. What I did not expect was to be treated so poorly. She literally said "I don't know," when I asked her questions. She did not explain what she was doing, and she failed to give me information that was very important for my future health. I will be switching to a new doctor as soon as possible, and I highly recommend women go elsewhere. I can honestly say I feel emotionally scarred from my visits to Dr. Jackson.

• Pros: The nurses and other staff are sometimes friendly.
• Cons: Pretty much everything.

WORST!!!!!

by nbaker1 at Citysearch

This was the worst doctors experience i've EVER had. She completely ruined my whole day. I was in a vulnerable state because of the nature of my visit. After waiting for 1 hour, she saw me for a total of about 1 1/2 minutes. She was rude, didn't ask me about my concerns, and was completely dismissive. After she left the room, i was almost in tears. The nurse came in and apologized profusely saying "I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to see someone else. She does this all the time." Do yourself a favor and stay FAR away from this place - you'll leave feeling 100X worse than when you came in.

• Pros: ONE nice nurse
• Cons: everything else

Great Doctor!

by RunnerWoman at Citysearch

I have had "woman" issues all of my life. Dr. Jackson was the only doctor who gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. She seems to keep up with advances in medicine which is great when you are speaking of hormone issues. She has truly helped me.

I needed surgery and she walked me through the entire process. She truly kept me informed of what would happen step by step.

Her staff is always pleasant and kind to me. I will go to no other doctor!

• Pros: informed doctor
• Cons: None
