I’ve had this doctor for awhile and he is a good doctor as to realizing what is wrong in your lower region. However, the wait is long and even if you make an appointment you will be waiting at least 1:30 hours max or maybe more. This office is full quite a bit because the office has to take on a lot of Medi-Cal patients in order to get paid. I was under Dr. Brode care when I was pregnant with my second child, but the strange this was that when I went into labor, he wasn’t even there the on-call labor and delivery doctor delivered my baby. what kind of crap is that? lol. So, choose your doctors wisely. I wanted my doctor to deliver my baby not the on-call doctor since I did not know the on-call doctor at all. So, if you plan on visiting this doctor plan accordly because you will be there for a while. and do reference check on the doctor, so you know what kind of doctor they are. Updated 3÷27÷2011 Dr. Brode is no longer a OBGYN. He has retired as of I think winter of 2010. Updated ½/2014 Dr. Brode is still in practice at the same place.
