John P Cardin Jr MD

expect Long waits, about 2 to 3 hours. Doctor does not care for his Patients, all he cares about is how many patients he can book with in the hour. He always ask how many months are you, or what you are having even though he has your file with him. He checks the basic and give an ultrasound picture without even asking if you have any questions, all with in 2 min. Avoid this place, Find a doctor who at lease pretends they care.

I love Dr. Cardin, he is very busy but it’s worth the wait, he does his job, you can talk to him about anything. He isn’t judgmental. It’s as if I’m talking to a friend abs that’s how it’s suppose to be with your doctor. Dr. Cardin is amazing, his staff is amazing. They are awesome with any paperwork you need. They pretty much have it ready for you same day, such as doctor notes, etc. I seen him through my pregnancy with my daughter, however I wasn’t able to deliver with him due to me going to another hospital. If all goes well this time around, I’m looking forward to delivering my son with him. I’m excited!!!

I just got back from my first visit today, and although the wait was a little longer than expected (about 45 minutes, which isn’t TOO bad now that I think about it), I will say, Dr. Cardin is well worth the wait. I’ll admit, I was a little worried when I first got there, cause my last OB was pretty awesome, but Dr. Cardin had great bedside manner and made me feel at ease throughout my entire visit. Now I get why he’s considered, «the most popular doctor in Long Beach» haha! I’m looking forward to him delivering my son :)
+1 star for location (not in the ghetto lol)
+2 stars for free two-​hour parking outside
+3 stars for free wifi and Netflix playing in the lobby haha
+ 4 stars for a friendly staff (I wish I knew their names, I didn’t notice any badges)
+ 5 stars for being Dr. C’s great character

I was referred to this clinic by a friend, since i couldn’t find a prenetal clinic in LA that i liked, so i taught i give it a try at first i liked it Dr. Cardin is super cool, dont get me wrong i love him, so i taught the drive was worth it since i live in LA but as time passed i notice he wasnt there most of the time he runs back and forth from the Hospital to the clinic, so theres an asian lady taking on the patients, shes horrible!!! shes always on her phone chit chatting with the nurses, theres one nurse in particular who rolled her eyes everytime i asked her something, she seen me standing on the hallway not knowing where to go for the glucose test, she didn’t bother asking if i needed help until i asked her to show me where to go, and she still answer with an attitude! she needs to change her attitude or get another job! my last three appointments there where 3 hours long!!! i didn’t want to go back luckily i had my baby and didn’t have to go back again til my postpartum appointment which im not so excited about either. Dr. Cardin was there to deliver my son

LOVE LOVE CARDIN it sure is a wait but it’s worth it trust me… He has so so many patients that want to see him & it’s for a reason because he is worth the wait yes it could take a couple of hours but he is good at his job & will help and answer honestly all your question! Staff Tiffany and Monique thank you for helping me out girls! And I know I’m a bug lol but thank you

Worst place ever!!! Wait time has been over 2 hours. Kids running all over the place and their parents just sitting there on their phone. People have been waiting over 2 hours and haven’t even been called to fill out the forms. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Takes forever to be seen dirty office he delivered my first child so I went back for the 2^nd child and wow how things have changed! I agree with another review post all he seems to care about is how many people he can fit in the schedule he was never around always had to wait at least 2 hours to be seen literally 5 min. Forget that don’t waste your time women find a doctor who really cares. He cared back in the day I feel like now it’s all about that county $$

I suggested to my daughter that she see Dr Cardin for prenatal care, since he delivered her. I accompanied her to her first visit and waited 3+ hours for her to be seen. Today is her second visit and it took 30 minutes for her to be taken to a room by a young girl who seems to hate her job. The patient room is the most disgusting room I have ever seen. I am so disappointed in Dr Cardin. It seems that all he cares about now is investing in himself and not his patients. I am going to help my daughter look for a different doctor as soon as we get home!

This is my second child, but my first I’m going to be having here in Long Beach. I come from a smaller town so I expected finding a good doctor in a bigger city would be a breeze. This was not the case… Right when I thought it was going to be impossible to find a good prenatal care doctor, (and started to consider driving 2 hours back to my hometown for my first one) here comes Dr. Cardin in bright blue scrubs. I went through some pretty discouraging doctors before I found him and I am happy to say I finally found the doctor that will deliver my second child, and I am relieved. Dr. Cardin’s office has a well trained staff that are prepared to answer any questions you have whether it be in office or over the phone. They aren’t rude and never make you feel inferior which can be uncommon in some offices. Every visit me and my baby have received a complete check up and an update on our development. I always leave here reassured and informed about what is going on inside of me which really takes some stress off of me. You’d be surprised how many practices don’t make you feel like this and actually do the complete opposite. Apparently, stress free complete care is more of a privilege than a necessity these days.
Sure there is a wait time, but I can’t say it has ever been longer than 2 hours. I consider this normal for a good doctor. If there’s no wait chances are there is no patients. That’s a scary thought. It’s not like you see the staff relaxing, texting or eating a pot pie over the keyboard, these people are busy and that makes it easier to withstand the wait. I highly recommend if you want to feel confident in your care go to Dr. Cardin.

Dr. Cardin is my current obgyn but not for long. Dr. Cardin is nice and all but the wait time is seriously not worth it, I made an appointment when I caught the cold and I sat there waiting 3 hours, 3 long annoying hours sitting there when I said enough is enough and I walked out. The nurses kept saying I was next but they kept calling more and more people in before me. Now there’s a new obgyn, a female Asian lady who attends everyone and since then I haven’t seen Dr. Cardin around and I just hate that I am not being seen by the doctor who is going to deliver my baby! It might just be me but I think there should be a good relationship between Dr and patient and not just some stranger delivering my baby. Can’t wait to find another obgyn and leave this office behind.

I was a former patient and would not recommend to any Family member or friend. Dr Cardin has so many patients and seems to double book patients making your wait longer than necessary. The staff is not friendly or professional. The Doctor he has helping him out seems like he hates his job making you feel like you are yet just another patient he has to worry about. I only went Into see him 3 times before I transferred to Kaiser which I’m so thankful for. Sorry Doctor Cardin you have been blessed with an Abundance of work but going at it the wrong way. Slow down and train your staff.

Worst OB … Besides the 3+ hour wait, not very attentive if you even get cardin to see you. He is always in n out to the hospital for deliveries. Its really dirty (especially the one restroom with a hundred pregnant women) the nurses are always eating (talk about unsanitary) His assistant is kinda creepy doesn’t do much but take the ultra sound. To add insult to injury when ur done with your pregnancy he charges u $ 20 to file for disability papers that u still have to send out. Like the thousands he gets for delivering ur baby wasn’t enough (talk about bussiness) .
The only positive is you get a sonogram after every visit .
But if u ask me now its not Worth it.
Ps. He now has a pediatric clinic and sends u as a referral… HORRIBLE
Long beach children’s clinic (tcc) at memorial is the best.
Good luck and i wish i would have known all this during my 1^st pregnancy

Amazing doctor! Down to earth, personable, professional, goes out of his way to take care of you and make sure comfortable!

Dr Cardin is a wonderful Doctor. No matter what anyone has to say. I came to him with my very first pregnancy in 2007, one in 2008 & 2009. He has always been good to me. He does care about his patients & he does answer any questions you have. Anytime i got worried about something I never hesitated to ask cause he knows what he’s talking about & always has the right answers to put me at ease. He is very promising & when he says he’s going to take good care of you, HE IS! Some people might think he’s careless or always in a rush, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to take of you & no he is not careless! Dr Cardin has ALOT I patients. This is why the place is always packed. But no matter what he always makes sure he takes care of each & erveryone of us. The staff there is very nice. There’s been different staff since the first time I came but no matter who it was, they’re all very nice & caring & always answered my questions & when they say their going to call me back they always do. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant & seeing Dr Cardin again (: I wouldn’t want anyone else to deliver my baby besides him. (: I highly reccomend Dr Cardin. Unless you are un-​patient, cause I must admit the wait could be long. But so worth it when it comes to a good doctor like Dr. Cardin

DO NOT GO HERE. Well lets start, if you’re a new patient to this place be ready to wait at least 4 hours to see the doctor. After that horrible experience, it will not get better, you will be waiting between 2 – 4 hours to be seen.
Cleanliness– It’s ok, chairs and all looked very old.
Staff– They are not nice, but not mean, they just look like they want to get out of there already.
You won’t see the doctor at all unless you ask to see him, the other doctor lacks of social skills and well that’s that. The doctor (Cardin) is nice, sometimes, he will not give you any advice on your pregnancy unless you ask him, when you see him its very quick and he rapidly moves on to next patient. Moving on the day I went in labor he never showed up, I spent 2 nights at the hospital since he failed to discharge me sooner. Finally the day I went for my postpartum checkup he looked at me and ask, what can I help you with? he didn’t even know why I was there, its obvious this doctor doesn’t care about his patients. Well good luck if you’re going there, I don’t know how I made it through that.

Avoid this doctor some (not all) of the medical nurses are rude, there’s only 1 doc that delivers and he is always in between patients so that explains the super 2 hr long wait… the doc is very un-​atentive has no idea who you are or whats wrong with you. My friend also delivered with this doc and she was ready to push her baby out but was told to wait till the doctor gets there wtf. This office would be better if he got more help so there wont be a long wait. AVOID THIS DOC

Horrible OB GYN! Office is VERY DIRTY! When Your getting a Pap there’s no nurse in the room only the Dr. According to them «there’s too many patients and no time to. have a nurse coming in»
Not to mention the wait. U must sign in at 11am go home and then go bck after 3. I once was called until 8pm!

The wait was a bit long, but well worth it… Dr. Cardin is attentive, proffessional and very communicative. He cares about your concerns and needs. Highly recommend this OB.
