Ewina Fung, MD

She was my OB throughout my pregnancy, and although I was randomly assigned to her, she was a good fit for me. Dr Fung was inviting and answered my many questions. She tried to keep me from freaking out about everything even though I had some complications and checked out anything concerning and updated me as needed. Baby and I are doing great! I did not get to deliver with her though I wish I had.

She was never a rude Doctor but If my delivery would have had a tragic turn I would hold her responsible for not listening to me. I told her I was gaining weight rapidly and I was ridiculously swollen to the point where I couldn’t stand one particular morning. I thought that I might have signs of pre eclampsia. She kept telling me that it was the heat making me swollen. By the 34 weeks I expressed that I wasn’t feeling well and I begged her to pull me off work and she insisted to hang in there. My blood pressure was a little high but she wasn’t concerned. 2 days later my BP shoots up to 145 and I am in the hospital delivering my little one early. It went as high as 185. I was told that if I had not taking the initiative to check my BP I would have died. (mind you she had told me it wasn’t neccesary for me to check my BP) I am greatful and thankful to Cedars for saving my life and my child’s. They did an amazing job what really shocked me was that my Doctor was no where to be found and I kept getting different stories when I asked. When I was finally released from the Hospital and scheduled a follow up appt she had someone reschedule. It has taken me some time to build up the courage to tell my story but I want to prevent this from happening to anyone. I hope that she is now much more sensitive and pays attention to her patients concerns. I can’t blame her for the pre eclampsia but she should have been more attentive when I kept telling her I wasn’t feeling well and I couldn’t work in this condition. I could have lost my child and my life.

Dr. Ewina Fung is one of the best OBGYN’s ever. Personable, thorough in her explanations and never in a hurry. Too bad that she has left Cedars Sinai since late 2013… oh, how I will miss her. I may even consider moving to Kaiser Permanente for my insurance just to have her as my OBGYN again. If you are insured by Kaiser and looking for a qualified OBGYN, Dr. Fung is the answer to your prayers. Excellent educational qualifications and experience. Physician nonpareil.

Great listener! Great question answerer! Great on calling you back when you leave a message!
…what more do you need in a doctor.
oh, yes, parking validation would be a good perk.

I’ve been bounced around this office a bit, just by the nature of Obstetricians being busy unexpectedly (totally understandable). At my fourth prenatal appointment they put me in with Dr. Fung because Dr. Tsui was out (who I’d seen the last time because Dr. Pullen was out), and it ended up being a serendipitous turn of events! Finding the right OB is a trial-​and-​error process, with something of such personal importance as a pregnancy I felt justified in wanting someone who felt like just the right fit.
I made my next appointment with Dr. Fung and saw her again today, and had the same positive experience. I had a concern about something mentioned at my anatomy scan, so I brought it up and she dispelled my google-​induced worries. Both visits she’s felt personable and unrushed.
Hopefully I’ll be able to see her for the rest of my prenatal care, and if all works out as my attending physician at the birth.

Just had another baby, delivered by the amazing Dr. Fung. I’m shocked that she actually made it to the birth. I delivered 15 minutes after arriving at the hospital. She was calm and wonderful and did a great job. LOVE her!!!

Absolute worst doctor I’ve ever been to!
Who ever wrote such stellar reviews for her on this site, are absolute friend requests on her behalf!
She basically had me in and out of her office like I was a number!
No person-​ability what so ever!
I had to demand she order a mammogram test for me, I’m almost 40 (never had a mammogram before) and I have a sister who had a breast tumor removed at age 21. She kept telling me: «you don’t need it, based on studies, you don’t need a mammogram till you’re exactly 40». What kind of doctor is this!!! REALLY? I kept telling her I rather be safe than sorry. Than she said well I’m not sure your insurance will cover. I kept telling her I called my insurance TWICE and they said it’s included as part of my PREVENTATIVE CARE and there’s no age limit on it. This doctor is seriously retarded and doesn’t give a hoot about her patients concerns.
She said she’d put in an order for my hormone lab tests to be done on the third day of my period which is tomorrow Saturday! I called the lab and they never got the order. I called her office to ask her to send it and she’s off till next week. I am so upset! I can’t wait till monday till she returns! The test needs to be on day 3! Which is tomorrow Saturday! And she failed to send in the orders on time! She had a whole week to do it!
I don’t think Ewina Fung cares about her patients! She’s not a doctor. Probably went to med school to become a doctor just for the money! Or she didn’t know what else to do with herself!

I went to visit Dr. Fung for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I have had a really difficult time trying to find a doctor that I liked and that took my insurance. I had a great experience with Dr. Fung! She is so nice and very personable. I felt incredibly comfortable about everything from the moment I walked into her office. I waited maybe 5 minutes, and considering I was a new patient, that is not bad at all! I even received a letter from her, thanking me for coming in after my first visit. I was thinking about changing some of my medications around, and she was incredibly helpful and gave me several options! I am very thankful I found her!

I almost feel bad writing an awesome review for Dr. Fung since it’ll mean that I can’t have her all to myself! Dr. Fung is the best doctor I’ve ever met. I had initially started with a different OB and I always felt rushed and my encounters were really impersonal. Since she’s a family friend, I was telling her about my negative experiences and she encouraged me to schedule with Cedars. Their office staff and other doctors in the practice are great. The staff really helped me figure out my insurance, prescriptions are always easy to refill (and I like that they consider what’s on my insurance instead of me having to pay a ton out of pocket for an equivalent medication), and they’re always really friendly on the phone.
While the other doctors in the practice are great (I tried out some of the other ones since my work schedule’s kinda weird), Dr. Fung is extraordinary. She’s really gentle, patient, and calm during office visits and also during delivery. She was really encouraging (but not overbearingly so) and her relaxed but knowledgeable demeanor made me know that whatever happened, she’d be able to handle it.
I was sad that once I delivered our daughter I couldn’t see her anymore (my insurance makes me not have her as a primary care) but happy to go back to see her for our 2^nd one!

I’ve had some bad doctors, some ok doctors and some good doctors. The bad docs make you regret the day you first saw them and didn’t listen to your instinct to run the hell away. The ok docs you tolerate for convenience’s sake. The good docs? Those you drive over an hour one-​way to see, and don’t mind it.
Dr Fung is a one of the good docs. She is always super courteous, professional, warm-​without-​being-​fake & honest-​without-​being-​harsh. I’ll ask her a bunch of questions and sometimes the same q again, just to be sure and she’s always patient, never makes you feel rushed and always hears you out completely.
She calls personally to answer questions you leave with the reception desk. One evening I called at 4:59pm, the lady at the front desk still picked up the phone and did not sound upset that I’d called at the last minute. I left a message, completely expecting a call the next day, but Dr Fung called me back at 5:17pm!
When she is doing an exam, she is extremely gentle about it, probably the least uncomfy experience I’ve had.
We’ve had a scare or two in our first pregnancy and she has always been honest but reassuring… and I appreciate her straight-​forward & calm personality.
The wait time ranges from 5 – 15 mins to see her, which isn’t bad at all, and she still apologizes for it… how many docs do that? And once i was late for an appointment and she was very gracious about it.
She works with a practice, so even if she isn’t available for an appt, you can see someone else in the clinic… though I haven’t had to do that yet. Works the same way with the delivery if you’re pregnant — she will try to be there for the delivery but if she can’t, another doc from the practice will deliver for you. So some women opt to visit the other docs for their appts as well, to get comfy with them. I didn’t feel the need to as we’ve felt comfy with her and confident in her skills since day one.

Delayed Update– had my baby with her. She drove over at 1am to help deliver personally. It was a long labor and I couldn’t have asked for a better hospital (Cedar Sinai), better hospital staff or better doctor! Though I believe she’s left cedars now.
Thank you, Dr Fung!

Best gynocologist EVER!
First let me start by saying I am a supreme chicken deluxe when it comes to going to the gyncologist. I’d rather go the dentist a million times than the gyno once. Out of the handful of times I’ve mustered up the courage to go in for a check-​up of my ladybits, most of the appointments have ended in tears. The pain of being poked around down there by that medieval torture weapon known as the speculum, coupled by the shame that has been cast upon me by many doctors for being a full grown woman who is not sexually active, is not a recipe for good times. I even had a gynocologist [older Indian lady — if I could remember her name, boy would I write HER a scathing review!] yell at me for being 26 and single (this was a few years ago).
Flash forward to today’s appoinment with Dr. Fung. I went in — nervous as ever — and she treated me with nothing but patience and compassion. Even after I stopped her mid-​exam so I could go to the bathroom (wanted to check for the zillionth time that my bladder was empty), AND had her call in a nurse to hold my hand [shout out to Nurse Martinez!] like a little baby, she never made me feel ridiculous or rushed. The exam was as gentle as possible — *slightly* uncomfortable, but not at ALL painful. She used a pediatric speculum (sooo much less scary than the giant, salad tong looking ones they usually bust out), and it was all over before you could say «Va-​jayjay». She answered all my questions and let me know all my test results would be in in a couple days, but assured me that everything looked fine/​normal.
I’m so glad to finally have found a great gynocologist, and I no longer have to fear going in for my annual checkup. Two BIG thumbs-​up (or legs in stirrups up. haha) to Dr. Fung. :)
