Patient Testimonials
Testimonials
I never leave Google reviews but Dr. Walia is truly the best. I’m 25 and came in for an IUD, and as we all know, there are PLENTY of horror stories on the internet about the insertion process… Dr. Walia made it basically pain free. I texted my friends who got IUDs with other doctors and they were absolutely baffled I had such an easy breezy experience. She told me what to expect beforehand, talked me through each step and I left feeling basically normal (some cramping, which I’m sure will continue due to the nature of having an IUD in). Seriously…she is phenomenal and recommend her 1000%

I had such a great experience with this practice. I ended up having a complicated pregnancy and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. My delivery experience was also amazing despite my complications !! I would definitely return back to them for a future child/ GYN visits.

I’ve been with this practice for the last 7 years, both my daughters now 6 and 3 weee delivered by Dr Jackson. I’ve seen Dr Cha in the office and both are absolutely excellent. Great bedside manner practical and driven by science. Despite moving across state lines I’m never leaving this group.

Drs. Cha, Jackson and Walia set the gold standard for OBGYN care and I’m so thankful for their care during my pregnancy. The doctors made me feel cared about, fully informed at each step, and were completely accessible - my messages were answered in no more than an hour, urgent appointments arranged at the drop of a hat. The support office staff is kind, friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend this practice enough! Thank you Drs. Cha, Jackson & Walia!
