Hi J.,
I've been going to Dr. Sandra Makela for about 8 years now. She's a gynecologist and OBGYN. She's located right outside Long Beach Memorial Hospital off of Atlantic. She delivered my first baby and I'm currently pregnant again due in July. She's a wonderful doctor, very warm, understanding and experienced. I have referred her to two other girlfriends and both have just had their babies delivered by her. Her office is a all female dr's office (4 other OB's work there). Receptionists & nurses are friendly, great overall office atmosphere. My mother & sister (Dr. Makela delivered her baby too!) both go to her as well. The best thing about Dr. Makela is she's always there to answer questions, no matter what time of day, she will call you back, not a nurse. She was on her day off when I went into labor and came in to deliver my little one. Please feel free to email me back if you have any questions.
Good luck, I know finding a new doctor can be tough!!
