Perinatal Diagnostic Center

If I could give less than one star I would. Let me say I have been going to Dr. Jedali for my last two pregnancies. I never had the problems I have encountered now. First off I have to agree Dr walks in and introduces himself and asks the same questions every single time. Considering I’ve seen him for several pregnancies you would think he would review my chart before he comes in. For the pregnancy I saw him 3 times and received a bill for over $ 2000 this is after insurance. Yes they do offer genetic testing and I was counseled on which on to chose. The office sent my blood to a non contracted lab and my insurance denied it. Now I received another bill from the lab for close to $ 3000. When I called and spoke with their director at the office I was told it’s not their problem because the genetic counselors are «their» employees. The director is by far rude and doesn’t let you speak at all.
I also experienced my appointment disappearing, long waits, rude technicians… I’m not sure what’s changed but this wasn’t my experience in the past. One positive I will give is the receptionist Yesenia is super polite and attentive.
If you can find another specialist I definitely would!

Dr. Jadali is an amazing dr. he helped me carry my triplets to 34 weeks!!! Honestly, if it wasn’t for him, I don’t believe I would have been able to get as far as, I did. His knowledge, advice and guidance was outstanding! I received excellent care. I also got really attached to Rosie (she did most of my ultrasounds) she always explained everything she was doing and educated me on how my triplets were doing every step of the way. Dr. Jadali was also supportive and I followed his orders. (That was so important to do) I wanted to be able to deliver my triplets as far as my body would let me. I owe that to Dr. Jadali and his staff. Just when I didn’t think I could go another week, I did! The constant support helped me do that. Sending you all a big thank you! I can’t wait to bring the triplets in for a visit! :)

I want to start this review out by saying that the people in the office are truly pleasant, nice individuals. However, in running a professional, medical facility, there needs to be more to it than that. I am a first-​time parent — I need to feel comfortable, reassured, and informed. I don’t want to feel like my medical care is in the hands of people who aren’t paying attention.
I’ve had an appointment scheduled (with urgency on the office’s behalf) only to arrive to be told that the doctor has left for the day. I’ve shown up to overhear that no one seems to know where my file is. Today, I showed up for my appointment and was told that I had called and cancelled it. After simply stating, «I absolutely did not,» they were able to squeeze me in.
I’ve informed them multiple times — in person, in writing, AND over the phone — that my OB doctor has changed from the doctor who referred me to them. They continue to send my files to my old doctor (which is problematic when my new doctor is waiting on them).
Dr. Jadali himself does not seem to read over our charts or familiarize himself with us prior to walking into the room with us. He introduces himself each time as if he has no idea who we are, asks us the gender of our baby (when he’s the one who told us), and continuously asks all of the same questions in regards to small concerns… when those concerns were otherwise addressed and cleared up weeks and weeks prior. I understand he’s a busy fellow, but a doctor should at least know that — yes — we’ve been in to see him multiple times now.
The whole office just seems disorganized and rushed. I feel less and less comfortable with them whenever I go in. I intend to ask my OB for a new recommendation of where I can go for this service.

We had a horrific experience with Dr Jadali. At 20 weeks, he diagnosed one of the twins I was carrying with a specific brain disorder. He did not suggest a second opinion, he simply stated that the diagnosis was a fact. He referred us to a specialist that could «reduce» the pregnancy down to just one baby. While we were in his office, trying to absorb what he just told us, he said «this is very rare, but the second one I’ve seen this week. I should go buy a lottery ticket». What an insensitive and inappropriate thing to say to us. Anyway, after a difficult week, we went to the other MD who would perform the reduction and during the ultrasound she discovered our baby was totally normal. No problem with her brain whatsoever! She called Dr Jidali right there in her office to tell him. We went to a third MD who confirmed the other doctor’s diagnosis, that our baby was fine. That weekend, we received phone calls from all the doctors involved, including my Ob, and the fertility MD who helped us get pregnant. But guess who didn’t reach out to us? Dr. Jidali. That almost bothered me more than the mis-​diagnosis. It told me a lot about his character and how he runs his practice. Needless to say, we never returned to him. Our twins were born healthy. I’ve since spoken to MDs who have explained to me how he may have mis-​read the ultrasound, but no one has been able to explain away the issues we saw with his character. Be aware of this if you choose to have him as your MD.

He is horrible. I would leave his office feeling like a bad mom every time I had to visit this doctor. Since I was 35 and considered «high risk» we went in to make sure our first baby was growing and healthy. I’m only 5 feet tall and my husband is just under 6 feet, so there was no way I was going to have a large baby. Dr. Jadali used, what I would consider, «scare tactics» to get us to continue coming into his office. The first visit he said there was something wrong with the babies head, then her legs, then her stomach. He would have us schedule an appointment for 2 weeks to check the progress, but conveniently would never mention the previous «problem». when he spoke to me about my pregnancy, he would talk down to me and was never kind or reassuring with his words or actions. His office staff were rude, the office itself was run down and shabby looking and he made my first time experience being pregnant miserable. Drive to Santa Barbara or Los Angeles if you need to see a high risk doctor. We need someone other than Jadali in VC!

Everything previous reviewers have said about the wait time, unhelpful front desk staff, and (less meaningful but worth mentioning) waiting room décor is all true.
We arrived early for a standard second trimester screening ultrasound and had to wait a full hour. When we arrived, there were 3 women behind the front desk and no one even said hello. One of them left promptly and when I said «Hi there, I’m checking in.» to get their attention, one of the women who was playing on her phone said snottily «She’ll be right back.» I sat down and came back up a few minutes later when «she» didn’t return. I asked if there was paperwork I needed to fill out as I was a new patient and one of the two women groaned and said «yeah, hang on.»
When we got in the room, the ultrasound tech seemed rushed (since apparently they overschedule consistently) and she went through all of the measurements. I kindly asked her to confirm if our baby was «still a girl» since we had an early ultrasound to determine gender and she told me «I’m looking at the heart right now, which is more important.» Well, yes, that’s correct, the heart is more important than gender but you could just say «Sure, we’ll have a look in just a minute.»
Dr. Jadali came in afterwards and while I didn’t have any specific issues with him directly, he did come across a bit snide. He also sent us home with a bunch of ultrasound pictures that looked like nothing. (After getting some great shots at our previous ultrasound place, we were very disappointed that our baby looked like a series of blobs at this appointment.)

No no no. I was under the care of my OB and Dr. Jadali through my entire 1^st pregnancy. At one point I was seeing him every month and my OB every 2 weeks.
Now my biggest complaint is the unnecessary wait time in a very small, over crowded and hot office. On any given time there will be 10 or more people in the office and several waiting in the hall. It is bad.
As for the Dr. himself, I never found him to be rude however I didn’t have much actual interaction with him. The majority of the time the ultrasounds or screenings were done by the techs, after which he would enter, look at the stats and tell me we are doing good.
Now Im confused about some comments regarding scar tactics becaue he was more laid back with me… especially considering my daughter was over 5lbs at 31 weeks and in the 90^th percentile. He confirmed she was big but didnt seem to have any concerns.
Well at 32 weeks I was sent to the hospital for sever pre-​eclampsia and after being laid up for a week I delivered my daughter. I never saw or heard from Dr. Jadali… all I know is my OB consulted with him the day I gave birth and he ordered the cesarian.
Now, for those of you who think there are no other specialists in the area, that is wrong. Four words. Comprehensive Maternal-​Fetal Medicine Consultants

I wish I could give zero stars.
What a sorry excuse for a medical professional.
I was diagnosed with possible IUGR at 34 weeks and sent to see Dr. Jidali. I feel it’s important to note that I am 5 feet tall, my husband is 5’8″, and I was born a little over six pounds. My first visit to the ventura office was great, I had a small framed ultrasound technician who was totally understanding because she had been in my same situation while pregnant. I had a doctor, who was not Jidali, notice that I was small and comment that if anything, make sure I ate protein and lie on my left side whenever possible.
At 40 weeks, I was sent to Jidali again. This time we actually saw him. My son’s growth had been consistent up until that point, so I wasn’t worried. Until he walked into the room. I wanted to let my baby come when he was ready. He was my first. I knew up to 42 weeks was normal. Jidali had snide and condescending remarks towards all of the questions my husband and I asked regarding the necessity of an induction. He employed scare tactics. Told us he didn’t want to be liable for anything that happened. Took a phone call and disappeared half way through that conversation. By the end, we still weren’t convinced induction was the correct choice. So we left to discuss. About ten minutes later, I got a call from the hospital. That Jidali had called and scheduled the induction.
I spent five days in the hospital before the induction was successful. In those five days, both nurses and doctors had nothing but terrible things to say about Jidali. Things from «it’s unfortunate that he is the only high risk doctor in the area» to «he is money hungry and shouldn’t be practicing.»
After three days and no dilation, an on-​call doctor that disagreed with the decision to induce ordered an ultrasound. Upon the results, he said there was absolutely no reason for me to be there, the baby was completely healthy and clearly not ready to come out, and sent me home, but because I had been shot up with massive amounts of drugs, I would have to return in a few days.
Four days later, our baby was born at 7 pounds 3 ounces.
There was absolutely no reason for anything Jidali put us through. Six months later I am still so incredibly sad and angry that I haven’t even bothered to respond to the invoice they have repeatedly sent us requesting a payment that I have already made.
Tl;dr–
Dr. Jidali is a piece and I wouldn’t recommend his services to my arch nemesis.

Avoid this dr and this sick joke of an office at all costs!!! This dr is ***NEGLIGENT***ARROGANT***RUDE***IGNORANT***GREEDY*** and you will be treated.like.s_ _​_​by him and the staff. The authorization department screwed me over BIG time and basically told me to f-​off when I asked them for help in rectifying the dr’s obvious mistake… Due to the way he wrote his notes, my insurance wouldn’t authorize more than one ultrasound a month (when he himself told me I needed to be monitored WEEKLY). When I finally did get seen, Dr Jadali immediately told me I needed to check in to the hospital. However, he tried to send me to a hospital with a NICU that couldn’t care for babies born before 30 weeks gestation. I was only 27 weeks pregnant at the time and had no cervix left! I literally got chewed out by him for expressing that I disagreed with his decision and felt I needed to be in a hospital with a higher level NICU. He yelled at me for questioning him, GUARANTEED my babies wouldn’t be born before 30 weeks, and hung up on me. Well, thank God my OB wasn’t also a complete fool… She somehow bypassed Jadali’s orders and was able to get me checked into a higher level NICU hospital. Never once did I hear from or see Jadali during my two weeks of hell in the hospital. My twins were born via emergency c section the day I reached 29 weeks. Another story: at our 16 week ultrasound, the ultrasound tech told my husband and I our baby probably had Down syndrome and urged us to do amniocentesis so we could decide if we wanted to terminate the pregnancy… What the hell??? After much wasted emotions and stress, we learned everything she had said was 100% ignorant (our baby has no abnormalities of any kind). Oh, and I’d be completely remiss not to mention that dr Jadali had prescribed strict bed rest for me, yet on more than one occasion I had to wait upwards of THREE HOURS in the waiting room, where there was nowhere to lay down! Unfortunately due to my utterly worthless P.O.S. HMO, Regal/​Lakeside medical group, I couldn’t see a different Perinatologist. Looking back, i should have just somehow changed insurances. I could go on and on and on and on and on about how much turmoil this dr and this office caused me and my husband and ultimately my severely prematurely born twin babies. I hope that, if you’re reading this, you do anything possible to take your precious pregnancy elsewhere! Trust me, you’ll N O T be in good hands.

This is my first pregnancy, so I was very excited to go to my first 3D for the genetics testing. When I got there, I happened to forget my insurance card. The receptionist told me I cannot go back with insurance but denied taking a copy from my phone, or me emailing it to her… I had to call my office to get it faxed over.
After that, our appt. was at 1:45… I always show up 15 minutes before each appt in case anything like the insurance issue happens… We waited for 3 and a half hours in the waiting room on uncomfortable seats. The receptionist kept telling us he is just running behind. 3 hours behind is unacceptable. He was probably taking a long lunch as the waiting room barely moved the whole time.
Once he got in the room with us, stayed a whole 5 – 10 minutes told us the baby was healthy and when I asked if he could tell the gender yet he said I was rude for asking because all that mattered was the baby was healthy. I was a little disturbed by this.
He then shooed us out. To me, the 3.5 hour wait was ridiculous. I am going again for my 2^nd trimester screening. I will write an updated review if it is worse or better. He will get a piece of my mind if it is worse.

Correction, this page is for Daryoush Jadali Perinatal Diagnostic Center, this isn’t a Travel Agency as it is now listed on Unilocal.
Unfortunately, this Perinatal office offers nothing but long waits, more than an hour to be seen even when you arrive early or one time for your appointment.
This place is infamous for false positives first and second trimester screenings which can be an emotional roller coaster for first time parents or parents in general.
Genetic counseling that is offered here but it isn’t consoling in any way. I’ll never forget the aweful feeling I had of being stressed and more worried after my appointment and more waiting game on results from further blood tests.
In my 261 Unilocal I’ve written I’ve never recommended to STAY AWAY from any business but at both locations of this Perinatal Diagnostic Center, here and West Hills, I would never step foot in their office ever again!
Ladies, please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I am good fiends with most of the L&D staff at Los Robles. Every single on of them says this «Dr» is in it for the $$$. Before he will consult with a patient, he wants to know their insurance status. I was in the hospital on bed rest trying to get to viability to give my baby girl a chance at life. He charged us almost $ 1000 for a consult at which he only spent 15 min with us. Then proceeded to tell me 4 times to abort my baby. THEN took a personal phone call, and while still on the phone asked me if I had any further questions and walked out of the room still on the phone. This doctor only has a lot of patients because he is one of the only local perinatologists in the area. Avoid this Dr at all costs. Save yourself from a doctor who does not value life, please see Dr. Manzano and/​or Dr. Doany.

The visits were vague even when I asked direct questions. The answer I got was well it could be something or it could be enitrely normal, but please reschedule so I can make more money off of your fears– I mean keep track of the baby. The Ventura office was quicker, but the Thousand Oaks office was horrific with time. I remembered listening to the ultra sound techs talk about a disneyland trip after I was already in the room waiting.
I am sure if there are serious problems the doctors there might be good. But I feel like in my situtaion– it wasn’t serious enought to take action, but they kept me lingering on fear that there could or could not be something wrong. Very frustrating and emotionally draining.
I will never go there again. I went too many times as it was and now have a hefty bill for what I feel is for nothing because I still don’t know if there is something wrong with my baby or not…

Here is an update with my situation once again I can’t get anything done. The office manager is no help she agrees it wrong with what they did but they are really busy so it makes it ok. Really for someone with 4 offices and non of them run right I don’t think he should be a doctor

All the staff there is extremely unprofessional. The two girls at the front desk are ghetto! Very rude, listenening to Tupac where everyone can hear (there are kids that come in there and they don’t need to hear your rap) Use earphones! They called my name and everyone had their back turned to me… I had to ask whop called my name. THEN… I had to get undressed for an internal ultrasound and people would just walk into my room without even knocking! I was undressing!!! Not one person, including the Dr. knocked before they came in. The ultrasound tech was getting frustrated bc my baby was no cooperating so she proceeded to push down hard on my abdoment to try and see the baby. It was too aggresive though. I understand pushing a little harder but she was irritated. she left me bruises! They were awful!
I would rather go to the other location all the way in Tarzana before going back there

Extremely unprofessional front desk. After requesting my son’s prenatal care records TWO weeks prior, they failed to provide them when promised. Unfortunately in this case, it effects us greatly since our son is being seen at Shriner’s hospital today (which is why we needed the records). All they could say was «sorry, we’ll try to have them printed on Monday but, call just in case». Wow. Really!?! Beyond frustrated & disappointed.
