Thanos Nicholas J MD

Dr Thanos delivered my twin daughters 18 years ago tomorrow. I am so grateful for his thoughtful care of my pre term labor and the delivery of my girls. They are happy and healthy and we are so thankful.

Don’t go to this office. The staff is terrible and they make you feel little. Wait time is long and the doctor is only so so. I would avoid this office. They don’t seem to care if you are a patient or not anyways.

If I didn’t lover Dr. Thanos I would NEVER return to this office. If the wait isn’t long enough, the scheduling staff was incredibly rude. At my last appt, driving from Long Beach, I phoned to tell them I would be 10 minutes late. Upon arrival I was handed a notice informing me that a charge would apply is I was ever late again. To top it off, I was never given lab Rx prior to the appt, so I was informed that the doctor couldn’t see me anyway. I manage an office in healthcare and if my patients were treated this way I would definitely make some changes to my staff. Totally unacceptable.

While Dr. Thanos is a good physician the insanity of wait times and lack of answering the phone ever even when you are returning their call — not acceptable!!! Are you seeing too many patients, don’t know how to schedule, what? It is incredibly disrespectful to make a patient wait for 60 plus minutes almost every visit. In addition, patients are dismissed with a fee if late even 1 min!!!

Office is THE worst when it comes to answering /​returning patient calls. Soooo frustrating!

Dr. Nick was referred to my from my regular gyno at St. Jude. I wanted an IUD, and St. Jude, due to religious reasons, does not provide this service. Much like others have said, the wait can be a bit long (even if you have an appointment); some days are faster than others, so –1 star for that. I was a bit nervous about going to a new gyno for this service, but Dr. Nick quickly put me at ease with his vast knowledge and experience. He patiently answered all of my questions (I had them written down), and even schooled me on the intriguing history of this contraceptive device. If you ever want to move away from hormonal contraception and try the IUD (I use the copper-​based «Paragard»), see Dr. Nick. I have done the procedure (insertion and removal) twice, and I now have two beautiful babies. I am happy I was able to actually «plan» my family and have a couple of years between babies. Note: due to new legislation, insurance companies are not REQUIRED to cover this form of contraception. You no longer have to pay a few hundred dollars out of pocket for an IUD.
Cathy, one of the ladies who works the front desk, is especially helpful and friendly. She provided very thorough customer service, so I wanted to give her a shout out.

Dr. Nick has been the greatest OBGYN. I went through a long list of doctors and finally found one who cares about me. The office staff is wonderful and you feel like part of the family. Yes, you may wait a while, but it’s worth it.

So, I’ve been back twice since my last review. And, got in to see the DR at a reasonable time, and got out at a reasonable time for both visits. No packed waiting room either. I’d say «Mischief Managed» for this office team. THANK YOU!

Dr Nick has been my gyno for over 30 years. He was a resident when I started seeing him in Montebello. He has done all my surgeries and is just wonderful. Very caring man.

Dr. Nick always takes great care of me, he is an amazing doctor!
