818GYN (Dr. Ian Taras, M.D.)

Jennifer Soares

I just recently had my first visit Dr. Taras to make sure I'm doing everything right as I enter peri-menopause. This is also the first time I've had a male gynecologist. I felt extremely comfortable. He met with me for over an HOUR. And this is without a physical exam. He asked questions. He listened. He provided options, as well as literature, so I could do some research on my own. I could not have been more impressed. I have worked in health care for 20 years and I have always been very proactive about own health and wellness. Not once have I experienced this. Ever. While he is not in my network, his office still worked with my insurance as much as possible, but even if they didn't, I would still continue to be his patient. The pricing is beyond reasonable especially when you factor in the amount of time he spent with me. I highly recommend Dr. Taras and 818GYN!

I had to request a last minute appointment because my other obgyn was not available or taking my concerns seriously. I picked this office based on Yelp reviews and they were all correct. I was welcomed to Dr. Taras' office with open arms and was not judge for being anxious. Dr. Taras spent a lot of time during our appointment speaking with me about my health overall, not just women's health. I felt very relieved after my appointment. He really cares about patient care and mental well-being and his office staff was very friendly as well. Even though he is out of network, a visit with Dr. Taras is definitely worth it. I am very picky with my doctors and really recommend him. As a quick add on, I needed a prescription sent to NY as I am there for travel and Dr. Taras did that very quickly over email which was crazy to me given the usual long wait times for doctors to send prescriptions. Thank you!

Dr. Taras has been my staple go-to savior for more than 20 years! No matter what my medical or emotional concern is, he has always been available, supportive, and ready with solutions, without imposing an opinion. He has always been able to help and dedicated to helping me no matter what the issue is. The most remarkable thing about Dr. Taras is his overall concern for general well being and desire to care. He also, over my 20+ years history, has always continued to stay on top of trends, innovations, conversation topics and shared with his patient following without imparting his opinion, simply sharing valuable information.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taras for over 10 years. He is the best Dr. I have seen in my life. He takes time to get to know you and listen to all your concerns. He makes me feel comfortable and cared for. He has always been available whenever I needed care. He has helped me successfully get my body and hormones on the right track. I like him so much that he is still my primary care physician even though I moved to Colorado Four years ago. I travel back to California yearly sometimes twice a year just to see him. Dr Taras now cares for my sister as her primary care physician. Thank you Dr. T!!!
