The appointment was timely and efficient, but possibly at the expense of rapport building or relationship sustaining conversations. Dr. Hooshvar appears competent and thorough.

I am very grateful to the gynecology department at PIH in Whittier. All services that I've been to or appointments that I've been to at gynecology department have been an extraordinary experience. I am very grateful to the doctors that have provided their service and been patient and very good at explaining all the concerns and questions that I have. Thank you, PIH.

Dr. Hooshvar was awesome. I had a very rough morning and had a flare up of my sciatic nerve and a family emergency during my appointment and she very understanding and sympathetic to what I was going through. I love her bed side manner. She was compassionate and professional. She examined me and explained everything to me making sure I understood everything. I would be honored to recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent doctor.

Wonderful experience with staff, nurses and doctor.

had my first OB appointment and arrived around 12:45 PM for my 1:00 PM appointment. At check-in, I was asked if I had completed the pre check-in forms. I said no, and the front desk staff member told me she would text them to me. After waiting several minutes without receiving anything, I went back up around 12:50 PM to follow up. She made a comment implying that I was "barely" asking about it, which felt unnecessary and dismissive. I had assumed there might be a brief delay and did not think waiting a few minutes would be an issue. When she reviewed my information, it turned out the office did not have my correct contact details on file, which likely explains why I never received the text. Given that the issue was related to incorrect information on file, the tone of the interaction felt especially discouraging. As a first-time patient - and during pregnancy - I was hoping for a more welcoming and professional experience. Front office interactions set the tone for care, and I would appreciate more courteous communication moving forward.

Dr. Hooshvar is fantastic. Her bedside manner is amazing. She's a good listener. She's very well prepared, engaged, familiar with my chart. I didn't have to remind her or anything. She was just fantastic, very understanding, especially since it's not a pleasant experience to go to the gynecologist to begin with. So she made a difficult situation very pleasant. I appreciate her preparation as a provider and her bedside manner as a human. Thank you.

Dr. Hooshvar and her staff were exceptionally professional, very friendly, and very accommodating. Dr. Hooshvar listened to all my needs, my concerns, and immediately attended to my needs and made them as much of a priority for her as they were for me. So I definitely appreciate her and would have her be my provider forever.

The wait was long and I was not given time to express my concerns of (words removed) and UTI. The diagnosis was incorrect as the ultrasound was suspicious for but not diagnostic for the diagnosis that was put. The visit with the doctor was quick but the wait was long. She went along with what the prior doctor said and did not do a thorough work up.
January 30, 2026
Dr. Hooshvar answered all my questions well and listened to my concerns. She was confident in her answers and I felt she genuinely cared.
January 28, 2026

This is my first time meeting Nina. She was helping me to get the IUD inserted in me, but it did fail. I did tell her in the past I had passed out and she asked me if I wanted to get a Nemeshot, which I agreed. I thought it was going to work. We both thought it was going to work, but it didn't because I was in really pain. So she recommended me to go on Eesthesia, make an appointment. And I'm glad I was able to do that because I didn't think I was able to put the IUD in me. I'm actually probably thinking of changing my doctor so I could be with her. I feel comfortable. She made me feel really, really comfortable with my concerns. I like the fact that I told her about the pain in my past and she made me feel comfortable to bring in the

Dr. Nina Hooshvar is amazing. I love her. I actually thought the yes, number two, was like the most, like the best score. So I pressed two, but I meant to press four. So, but I love Dr. Nina Hooshvar. She makes me feel really comfortable. She's knowledgeable and I feel so much better and so much cared for with her. So love her.

She helped me alot explained everything I needed to know .. thank you again
December 01, 2025
Dr. Nina Hooshvar was very attentive and helpful in explaining, especially someone in my age that is not ready to have a hysterectomy. She's willing to do other tests, and that's amazing because there's not too many gynecologists who are willing to be patient, as she was, and explaining and trying other methods. And she's awesome. You need to have more gynecologists just like her. Thank you.
December 01, 2025
The doctor provided excellent service; her explanation was very good and she was very kind.

Not certain what person's title is (perhaps executive assistant or office manager). Named 'Carmen,' was rude to my request to have a military fit for duty form filled out for me. 1) Refused to do so on the grounds her office does not provide such service and referred me to my primary. When I showed her the form was for specialists which included OB/GYNs, she 2) insisted I ask my primary. When I informed her this was not the usual practice and that Force Medical (DoD) needed the office which I was receiving car to fill out said form, Carmen 3) told me to leave the paperwork with her and that she will first consult with my doctor and will get back to me in about 5-7 days. When I questioned why it takes 5-7 days as my employer needed the form back asap in order to put me on medical leave status as I deploy overseas, this person 4) haughtily informed me I was not the only patient that needed her attention and that she would get to my paperwork when she gets to it. It must be said I was not being difficult or throwing a tantrum. Rather, I was persistent in face of her initial refusal to help me with my form because I have been with the DoD for about 15yrs and absolutely no doctor's office - specialist or not - have refused to fill out this simple form nor asked me to wait 5-7 working days. Most doctors' offices fill out the form while I wait as it takes about two (2) minutes to note the reason why I needed the appointment and to date and sign it. Dr. Hooshvar herself however, was excellent as she was personable and cared about my office visit.

Dr. Hooshvar was really, really perfect. She listened to me. She recognized my problem. She examined me very well. And she was very, very knowledgeable. And I'm highly satisfied with her.

Overall, I was initially slightly nervous about the experience however, the Provider, Dr. Hooshvar explained everything in a detailed and timely manner. She did a wonderful job checking in during the appointment. There was also a nurse who assisted during my appointment and another nurse who gave me an extra item that I needed due to bleeding post-procedure I would love to tell her thank you but couldn't get her name. Thank you for everyone who helped!

Appointment seemed very rushed especially considering the nature of my visit. Very little empathy was felt especially navigating a topic such as a potential ectopic pregnancy. A little empathy in these situations go a long way.

Dr. Hooshavar, who I saw, was amazing, comma. I would highly recommend to see her again, period. The nurse that checked me in was also extremely nice, period. I was very happy when I went in, period. The only thing I would improve or hope to get improved is the phone's calling in to schedule an appointment. I waited 18 minutes on the phone to make an appointment. Thank you.
