Seeking OBGYN Doctor Reco's in Temecula Area

I went to see Dr. Brian Byrne and he was fantastic. The wait is always a little long in his office, but it is so worth the wait. I felt completely comfortable with him and I knew that my son and I were both in good hands. His office is across the street from Inland and that is where I deliverd. I had a really good experience at Inland. Depending on when you have your baby though, you may have it at Rancho if they finish the maternity ward that they are currently building. It is supposed to be finished early next year and all of the maternity patients will go there instead of Inland. Good luck!

I was scheduled for an appointment with Dr. Byrn after a miscarriage in murrietta and when I got there the receptionist said they had cancelled my appointment and had left me a message... I never got that message. The next time I went in they said he was gone to a birth and one of the other four women who were sitting in the waiting room said "Oh, don't worry about it, I've never had to wait more than four or five hours."..... HOURS??? So I left. Fast foward a couple of months, now I'm pregnant and made an appointment with Temecula Valley OBGYN... LOVE IT! I'm in month 6 now of my pregnancy and am seeing Dr.Glaser, I have also seen Dr.Elfelt who was also very nice. They try to get you in to see the other Drs besides your primary in case they aren't on call when you go into labor. The lab is right there in the office for blood work ect, and the reception desk is super nice. Everyone is patient and relaxed, I would highly recommend this office - and you can choose whether you want to deliver at Inland or Rancho, they do both :) Good luck!

Dr. Nerissa Saffie of Inland Valley. I think she also works at Rancho Springs. She is the greatest. She delivered my daughter in 2006 via C-section and did a WONDERFUL job too. I believe she is Harvard educated as well. She is very caring and you'll just fall in love with her.

I also recently saw Dr. Sissi Selinger for a GYN appt. but I am not sure which medical group she's with. You can look on the Medical Board of CA website or ask your ins. company. I can definitely vouch for Dr. Saffie though! Hope that helps!

I dont know about OB's around here but you do NOT want to deliver at Inland Valley def. go to Rancho Springs if you get the option. Good luck with #3. I have 3 girls and live in Murrieta so you can caht mw anytime. :)
I have been to Dimmintee for normal OB yearly vist she is really good but the office is very busy!

Hi there -

I am pregnant w/my third baby as well and go to Temecula Valley OB/Gyn... I have Dr. Glasier but also like Dr. Yang -my sis in law had Dr. Lebo there and said she was awesome. Dr. Glasier was my doc for my last pregnancy/labor as well and he was great. The area hospitals are a little (actually a lot) less than luxurious, even a bit dirty in my opinion... I am in a bind right now b/c I would love to drive somewhere out of the area to deliver (either Palomar or Mary Birch in SD) but my last labor was only 3 hours long so I don't know if that is the greatest idea for me. I expressed my concern to the Dr. last time I was in and he said that he felt that Inland was cleaner than Rancho, however years ago I heard so many horror stories about Inland that I never even considered delivering my baby there. Now I might have no other choice than to check it out. They are building a new L&D unit at Rancho Springs but the opening has just been pushed back to Jan '09 which is very disappointing. If you are able to drive to another facility and are not particular to who actually delivers you then I would honestly consider it. I understand that that is not really practical w/two kids though so we will probably both be stuck here choosing from the two hospitals we have. Good luck to you, and congrats on baby #3!!

Temecula Vly Obgyn is awesome, I am on my 3rd pregnancy w/them... they deliver at either of those hospitals, your choice. I have had Dr. Yang and Dr. Glasier.... Lebo is good too. Those three are all awesome. Good luck, when are you due?? :)

I had Dr. Cerrone with my 1st and she was great.. she just keeps moving around and so I stopped following her.. I now have Dr. Dresbach and I am about to deliver in 5 weeks, so far I really like him, no experience with delivery yet.. I deivered and will deliver in Fallbrook and although the hospital seems older, I have not had any problems.. but my pregnancies have been easy.. I have also heard not such good things about the hospitals here.. Inland and Ranch Springs.. But meet with the Dr.s and tour the hospitals. your mother intuition will tell you what to do...

Dr. Michael Andersen is good...doesn't take HMO's though. I really like Dr. Calinisan, but I had to switch because of insurance. I just went to Dr. Dresbach. He was very nice and spent a lot of time answering questions. Good luck!

Hi E.,
Dr. Pattie Dimmette was my OB/GYN - Inland valley AND Rancho Springs - she's the best! she delivered both of my children.

I highly recommend her. Congrats with baby #3 and I hope this helps.

Dr. Hayton at Temecula Valley OBGYN is amazing! Before we moved to the area in 2002 I read somewhere that to find a good Dr. that you should ask OB nurses. I went to the hospital and the nurse there suggested Dr. Hayton or Dr. Lebo, they are both at TVOBGYN. I have been seeing her ever since. She has helped me through a lump in my breast, two babies, a miscarriage, and cervical cancer. She is very conservative and thorough and her nurse is sooo sweet. They have a lab on site and your ultrasounds are done in the office as well. I rarely have any wait at all (only if there was an emergency of some kind). They have several Dr.'s in the group so whoever is on-call at the time will deliver your baby. In my case Dr. Lebo delivered my first ans Dr. Elfelt delivered the second. They were both great but I preferred Dr. Lebo because I like women Dr.'s. In my mind the really important thing is my prenatal care, the birth is just about who catches the baby.
Good luck to you!
P.S. - I didn't care for Inland or Rancho but who wants to drive very far when they're in labor. I also wanted o make it easy on my husband to get back and forth.
Also, check out the breast feeding support group and the newborn nurturing center at Inland after the baby is born. It's a great help. Sandy Selgado runs the breast feeding group an she is awesome! They welcome toddlers to the Tuesday class at Inland but I think the Friday meeting at Rancho is all infants which is best in my opinion.

Honestly, I have had terrible experiences at Rancho Springs, and a friend of mine had a terrible experience at Inland Valley. For that reason, I chose to deliver my children at Palomar - it's not too far away! Plus, neither of the hospitals up here are equipped to handle a small child emergency - Palomar has a NICU just in case there is a need.

I love my doctor who's also based in Escondido - Dr Elizabeth Cerrone of Escondido Ob/Gyn. I had an emergency, and my son had to be delivered 6 weeks early, and she was amazing! You never really know how good a doctor is until there's an emergency, I don't think, and I'll tell you that I will go wherever she is for any future pregnancies!!

Hi E....I recently had my first child and I saw Dr. Dimmette (Wildomar area). She was incredible and so was her office staff. The waiting time in the office was pretty long on occasion, but to me it was worth it to have a doctor that I was completely comfortable with (I just made sure I always brought a book with me). She delivers at both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs and was there with me through the entire time that I was pushing (2 1/2 hours) - very supportive doctor!!! My experience at Rancho Springs was also incredible - my labor and delivery nurses that I had (Lisa and Amy) were the best! They were very supportive through the entire process. Good Luck!
