Brody Steven, MD

Dr Brody is definitely caring and knowledgeable about nutrition. I feel like he honestly does his best to give me natural options but is non judgemental in the case that I want less natural medication. He is a great blend of modern medicine and natural. The biomat is kind of fun. The only thing is n I don’t have insurance and he does charge a lot. He always wants me to come back in two weeks. I’m like, «Dude I love chatting with you but I’m a poor grad student with no insurance!» I also wish he had a different nurse. I don’t mind Pat as a receptionist but it’s kind of weird to have her watching during checkups.

Dr. Steven Brody is the best gynecologist I have known, he is expert in his field, with high integrity and values. I am also impressed with professionalism of his assistant Pat.
His expertise in fertility and gynecology plus wiliness to help at low cost to his patient are most valuable assets I appreciate.
I recommend this doctor to all women with any issues listed on his website.
BTW, those two negative reviews are totally out of line and not even related to what he does. I doubt these people were his patients.

I have been going to Dr. Brody for almost 5 yrs. He is the most understanding and compassionate Dr. I know. I had alot of health issues when I came to him. 1 by 1 we are getting each one to improve. Because of Dr. Brody, he has found me the best specialists to go to and the newest tests to take.

A kind, caring, professional doctor is the best description of Dr. Brody. I have worked with him for over three years and I am most impressed by how he applies his knowledge to helping people.
I know he is one of the world’s experts. I saw a copy of his textbook and it is amazing. The new office is great. It is so convenient near Alvarado hospital. Everyone in his clinic is pleasant and proactive. There are so many people that need time with a doctor – I hope they find Dr. Brody. With him they will be in the best shape ever…
He is an endocrinologist, so he has to figure out complicated problems. Judging by the awards and diplomas on his walls he knows his stuff. But what is even more interesting is the ton of baby pictures from fertility treatments with IVF.
Sometimes we have to wait in the office a little too long, but I think it is because he spends more time with people, and he is not just writing notes into a computer. Five stars for sure.

I am so glad that I met Dr. Brody. He is very caring and I felt like he was attentive to my needs. He was able to diagnose and treat me in one visit. He was also able to recommend me to his nurse, Brenda King Kapalla for B12 shots which have helped me enormously.

I concur with the other review, awful sums it up. I would give this doctor a negative star if I could. He is the worst doctor I have ever seen. I saw him at another clinic, but I don’t want a poor review of him to reflect on the clinic since everyone else in that clinic was awesome. The problem is that on the first visit he seemed good, but it was all downhill from there. Where to start… He wanted to order thousands of dollars worth of tests that I did not even need and were not related to my condition. He had no idea that most of the tests he wanted were not covered by insurance so I had to check myself. When I let him know I needed a letter of medical necessity to get some of the tests covered by insurance he admitted I did not really need them at this point. I have heard that doctors get extra income by ordering lab tests so maybe that was his angle.
I went to him for endocrine problems since he is an endocrinologist, and he wanted to focus on female problems that were not directly related to my illness. He is first and foremost a gynecologist and obstetrician. Though he may be an endocrinologist, he pretty much seems to focus on his specialty which is fertility, female problems and babies. Once some of the lab tests were ordered, he did not even review them all but went on to order other lab tests. I went the extra mile to bring copies of my medical records and he did not review them either, only a few pages. He ordered some of the labs I had just done a month earlier since he didn’t check. When I saw him he said that he takes the time needed for each patient, but that was not true, at least not with me. On more than one occasion I had to wait more than an hour, once 2 hours. Then when he got to me he cut my visit short and said I would have to make an appointment again for him to start reviewing my medical records.
Other complaints include this doctor does not listen, at all. In fact, he double talks as well. He seems to be in his own world and will scrutinize test results like nothing you have seen, at least those that he reads, but he micro analyzes everything to the point he forgets you are even there. I had my husband with me on all visits and I was glad because I had a witness. The doctor actually claimed I said things I didn’t, or didn’t say things that I did, and the same for what he said. I had a hard time telling if he was forgetful or was just blatantly lying. If you are going to chance visiting this doctor I recommend you take someone with you as a witness and even record your conversations. He claimed I said I had symptoms that I never did. After 4 visits and thousands of dollars worth of tests he claimed he knew there were lots of medical problems that I had but he still did not know me well enough to know how to help me or even fully diagnose the primary problem. Big waste of money and time! Had I stayed with him to treat my illness I could have been dead by now.
He is not a hostile or mean doctor, but reminds me of the absent minded professor. He actually seemed nice when I first went to him and I was very impressed with his knowledge and apparently good bedside manner. It seems that he really cares, but he is overwhelmed. Apparently he does volunteer work and is ready to retire so his medical practice is not his primary focus. He accepted insurance but then claimed insurance didn’t pay him enough to read my medical records and take the time to review my test results.
On the first visit he claimed to be open to holistic modalities, and maybe he is more so than other doctors, but initially he said he was 70% holistic, and on the next visit he claimed he was 30% holistic.
I have no doubt that he is brilliant in lab and analytical settings, but not so good with patients. He specializes in female problems so if that is your issue, he may be able to focus. He has written books on the subject of fertility and seems to be an expert. If you are looking for this type of doctor and you can see past the issues and focus on what he wants to prescribe for fertility then he might work for you. Personally I would not recommend anyone seeing him for the reasons listed above. Do so at your own risk.

AWFUL! If you want to wait in the office for 30 – 45 minutes after your appointment then don’t come. If you want to hear repeat information at every appointment, then don’t come. If you want to be told that the Pathology lab is going to be free then receive a 300.00 bill then don’t come.
I was referred to this office, and from the start I didn’t get the best impression. I waited over an half our each appointment, which can be typical but when it happens every time, they should know by now to schedule appointments farther apart then they do. Its gets old when you are taking time off of work to come for a check up.
Every time I spoke to the doctor, I was given the same information. If you check my file, you will see the same things written down over and over again. Obviously, I got the information the first time and obviously what you are telling me isn’t working.
Third, the doctor states that he was given a free Pathology lab tests and he wanted to do one for me. He said if I received any bill to contact the front office and they will take care of it. I then received a bill for 300.00– which they aren’t paying. Secondly, when I got the results, it didn’t come with a pamphlet, so the results were unreadable. The doctor said he would sent me the information in the mail, so I could read the results… still waiting… its been over a year.
