Isabell Beddow, MD - San Mateo (CA)

1 /5 L M: If you are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented doctor able to communicate effectively, educate you and make informed decisions in partnership, you may want to look further. In my experience, her communication was unreliable. I chose her because I value consistency in care and wanted her to assist in my birth. Unfortunately, on my 7th month she told me that she may not be available around my duedate. That was a big disappointment that put me in a very difficult situation. After inquiring 3 times, she was unable to tell me specific dates or backup doctors I could meet. When I ask for options, she said she could induce me if the baby did not arrive before her vacation. I realized at that point that we had very different approaches and I would not feel comfortable having her deliver my baby. Overall, she seems to check boxes rather than caring for patients.

5 /5 chan hidy: Dr Beddow saved my life !! Went to see her because the perimenopause symptoms in early 50. Based on her professional knowledge and skills , she insisted me to have formal ultrasound instead of the one in clinic . Called me on the same day of the ultrasound and referred me at once because ovarian tumor. Prepared all blood test and further CT so I would have completed picture to the surgeon. The operation was done in 2 days after the first visit of surgeon. Here I could highly advise every perimenopause women to see a doctor ,like Dr Beddow , to rule out any other medical problems that you never ever think of. Btw The other name of ovarian cancer is called a‘silent killers’

5 /5 Jenice Downend: I’ve been a patient of Dr. Beddow’s for at least the last 5 years. I’ve been pregnant twice in this time, in which she took care of me and safely delivered both of my babies. Throughout both pregnancies i felt greatly supported and taken care of by Dr. Beddow and her office staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Beddow to anyone looking for an OBGYN.

5 /5 kelsey stiles: Dr. Beddow has been my doctor for over 10 years and she delivered my two children. I cannot think about a better person to have in the delivery room with me. Dr. Beddow is so calm, comforting and supportive - exactly what you need during that very emotional and challenging experience. She is always on time for appointments, her office is very clean/nice, there is a parking lot and she seems to always fit you in if you need a last minute appointment. I love Dr. Beddow and appreciate everything she has done for my family and I. Not to mention she has the best staff - Vinita and Mitra are the amazing nurses that work in the office and they have both been with Dr. Beddow for many years. They are very quick and responsive to emails and address any concerns, medication requests, etc. right away. I recommend Dr. Beddow and her team without hesitation:) Very grateful for the whole office and my experience.

5 /5 Chelsea Lin: Dr. Beddow and her staff are so kind, always on time, and very reliable. I have been a patient of hers since 2018. She also delivered my first child in 2021. She never missed a single appointment and she didnt miss the birth of our child. I seriously dont know how they manage to do it all with all of their patients. Best healthcare I have experienced.
