High Risk Pregnancy Center

I love this place so much! I had a high risk pregnancy due to my prenatal diagnosis. The staff was always friendly, welcoming, & professional. My Doctor Brian Irieye is very knowledgeable in his field & never makes you feel rushed, but important and cared for. He is a positive individual. The office is CLEAN, modern, comfortable. Despite what was going on with my pregnancy I alway felt at ease here.
If you care to know I delivered a BEAUTIFUL & HEALTHY baby girl with Down Syndrome.
In the event that I become pregnant again, I would definitely go BACK here in a heart beat.

Went here over the summer of last year (forgot to review until now) since my son had an EIF on his left ventricle in the ultrasounds (turns out nothing serious– WOO!) and the staff were super nice. Office was clean and spacious. Only complaint I have was I think the phlebotomist was a bit new haha. Hurt more than normal, but not really a big deal. Both offices I’ve been to are both same in the aspects of this review. Would recommend.

Everyone took great care of me at the High Risk Pregnancy Center when I was pregnant & had gestational diabetes. I especially loved the nurse practitioner Ms. Allyson, but really, just about everyone here was amazing.
The only thing that really upset me during my visits was this 1 time 1 of the specialists mentioned that my baby might have Down Syndrome, because of some white stuff in his large intestine (echogenic bowel?) He said it could be Down Syndrome, OR it could just be the light coming from the sonogram instrument. True story.
I figured there would be a REALLY big difference in my reaction if it’s just light or it’s actually Down Syndrome.
Because of my pregnancy hormones, I couldn’t help but get emotional. I felt so sorry for myself & my baby as I lay in that sad, quiet sonogram room by myself, wishing I hadn’t told my husband to go to the gym. I was so upset & paranoid & worried about this possibility that even after I’d given birth & checked my baby’s face & was told that he had jaundice, which just about every newborn has, really, I still kept waiting for 1 of the nurses to say, «Oh by the way, he has Down Syndrome.» But this moment never came. My baby is fine.
It would have been really nice if this doctor had remembered to mention that this echogenic bowel was no longer something I should be concerned about. I had to find out from the printed report right before I gave birth.

We recently had our first child, so we do not have much to compare the experience to, however I can’t imagine there is a practice that is any better. From our very first visit with Dr. Brian Iriye until our little girl was delivered, everything was amazing. The staff is extremely organized and pleasant. Every appointment we had was on schedule and efficiently handled (why can’t other doctors figure this out?). By the end of our pregnancy we felt like they were part of the family. This type of culture in an office /​practice comes from the top, and its evident the doctors take great care in how the practice runs. Dr. Brian Iriye was fantastic. He is an amazing doctor with and incredible knack for connecting with his patients. My wife looked forward to seeing Brian and the staff at every visit which was so important to us as first time parents. I can’t say enough great things about the High Risk Pregnancy Center and Dr. Iriye!

I’m torn with this review. Although I like the Dr. s and love the ultrasound tech the front desk team and staff that takes your vitals are just miserable. They seem to hate the patients and their job. I waited an hour past my appointment time and then asked twice if I was missed or what happened and they just said they will call you when a room is ready. No sorry for the wait, no explanation, just attitude. When I finally got called in the nurses and techs explained why things were running behind. Okay, makes sense thank you. Why couldn’t the front desk have called me up and apologized for the wait and explained the same thing? Frustrating visit, can’t wait for my baby to be born so I can be done with these appointments. I have a pain in the ass job too. I totally get when people are annoying and you hate your job but you still have to remember that these people are customers paying the bills. Politeness and common courtesy go a long way.

My experience here was great. Did not wait too long and the staff was kind. My baby is now 2. :o) and just as healthy as you said she would be. Thank you for your service!

This is the worst experience I have ever had with healthcare of any kind. They doubled my deductible and when I called to explain that there must be a mistake I was told I was wrong, interrupted multiple times and made to feel like my saving over $ 300 was inconveniencing them. Come to find out I was correct in the deductible price and when called to reschedule my appointment they basically made it out like it was no big deal. Ill never come back to this place and would recommend that if you can avoid it you should.

I was sent here for some complications I was having with my pregnancy. The staff was amazing so nice and very informative. The Dr I had Dr. Wold explained everything that was going on so I could understand it. He made me feel like I was his only patient. He wasn’t rushing and really took his time with us, I felt very important going to see him.

Great practice with outstanding bed side manner in a time in my life where fear was first and foremost.
I was diagnosed with a shortened cervix AND high blood pressure at 24 weeks both pretty serious signs of preterm birth. I was admitted to the hospital for bed rest for the term of the pregnancy and each day I had a discussion with one of the HRP doctors on my status and most importantly they all gave a little pep talk to keep me going to the next day. Dr. Iryie would come in and talk sports and life events to remind me there was a world outside my hospital room and bring a littlle bit of levity to my situation.
The babies were born at 31 weeks and are now 5 months old just as beautiful and perfect as can be… Thank you High Risk Pregnancy!

Dr. Gorski delivered my twin daughters in june 2012. She was absolutely the best. I would definitely recommend her. She is patient, always willing to listen, and I had a very quick and painless C-​section.

Dr Masaki was my Dr in 2012. He was amazing n funny. The staffs was awesome. Dr Gorski was wonderful. Miss them.

Dr. Iriye and his staff are professional and extremely knowledgeable!
Our 2^nd son had Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) and the 1^st Parental Doctor didn’t detect it soon enough and even a few days before we saw Dr. Iriye for a second opinion, he finally diagnosed our son with «Lethal Anomaly» he still didn’t pick up on his Fractures (only one on left femur). However, Dr. Iriye and his Sonographer, discovered fractures all throughout our son’s body in utero. They were able to detect so much and diagnose our son with OI vs. just «Skeletal Dysplasia».
When picking a location to use for an ultrasound, it’s vital that someone picks a Doctor who has a lot of «current» knowledge and his staff are experienced to detect various diseases through ultrasound testing. What’s the point of an ultrasound if it’s not conducted or a disease may not be diagnosed properly?
I recommend Dr. Iriye and the High Risk Pregnancy Center for women not only with High Risk, but to get a second opinion if anything is detected. If you have an opportunity to get an ultrasound here, you won’t be disappointed. There are highly trained Doctors and Staff who do an excellent job! I have heard the other Doctors, who my friends have experienced, all have loved the High Risk Pregnancy Center and trusted all these Doctors.
Dr. Iriye not only diagnosed our son, but he also allowed and helped me seek a third opinion from a top Skeletal Dysplasia Doctor at Cedar Sinai in LA.
Dr. Iriye took us in immediately (same day when we needed a 2^nd opinion) and he arranged for our 3^rd visit with the other Doctor. He also took our call over the weekend after seeing him on Fri as we had additional questions for him.
We have been blessed with another child and so far so good. We are seeing Dr. Iriye and his staff again and are very pleased to see him again in a different situation.
He is very compassionate and professional.

My girlfriend was referred to Dr. Gorski for her high risk doctor and there isn’t enough words to say about her service. Hands down Dr. Gorski is the best doctor we have between the two of us. Dr. Gorski’s bedside manner is the best. Dr. Gorski made my girlfriend secure with the pregnancy because she was very scared about the «what if’s». She really had some worries about the pregnancy but here we are, 2 weeks away, excited worry-​free and anticipating the arrival of our little baby. Many thank you’s Dr. Gorski and the great staff at the High Risk Pregnancy Center

Good place to monitor your pregnancy. Dr Ibay is one of the best pregnancy doctors in Vegas. His office runs very efficient and is always clean and the staff is friendly.

3 months into my second pregnancy, my father passed away and on top of that, I was having regular asthma exacerbations. To be on the safe side, my primary OB referred me to a high risk doctor and I was lucky to have met Dr. Iriye.
The entire staff is fantastic. From the front desk, to the ultrasound technicians, to the nurses and doctors. It is a very professional setting, but also extremely warm and caring. I remember a particular incident when I had fallen and was eager to come in for my weekly monitoring and hear the heartbeat and just make sure everything was ok. Dr. Iriye told me to come in whenever I needed that reassurance of hearing the heartbeat. He even brought me to the front desk and told them that if I ever came in wanting to check the baby, they should send me right in. I never had anymore scares but it was comforting to know that I had no reason to worry.
I came in every week to get monitored for about 30 minutes. I would sit in a comfortable recliner chair in a room with about 8 other women as the heartbeat sounds of our babies would fill the room. The women gathered in that room had a variety of different reasons for their high risk pregnancies, but we all had the same goal: to have a healthy full term pregnancy.
And every few weeks, I would have a 4D ultrasound and see Dr. Iriye. He was able to get my asthma under control and taught me methods to manage the emotional stress that I was dealing with. I was also still seeing my primary OB and the communication between the 2 of them as they co-​managed my pregnancy was seamless. And as a result, I was blessed with a healthy baby boy. He is now almost 2 years old, and still today– I cannot thank the staff enough for their expert care and peace of mind.

My review is of their Henderson/​St Rose Sienna location. I love Dr. Masaki! I was sent here from my regular OB due to having clotting issues. This is our first baby (and last). The staff is very welcoming and warm. Our first appointment they had us talk to a girl in a private office about some options for testing and what the HR Preg Center was about. She also helped explain our insurance and what it covered. I really loved the fact that they do this since we had never gone through this and had a lot of questions. It made us feel like they cared and wanted us to not be shocked or scared about anything. After our consult, we had an ultrasound with a tech. We were really excited for our ultrasound and my husband whipped out the phone video camera to send a little video to family out of town. The tech was super quiet and whne we asked questions were told that she couldnt answer if we were viedoing. She was a little cold about it. We didn’t know! We put the camera down and proceeded. Buzz kill. Then we saw Dr. Huang. He was very direct and to the point, which was ok but didn’t seem very friendly or inviting. We were almost turned off by this place after that, but knew we had to stick with it for the sake of the baby.
Our second visit we had a tech do the initial ultrasound again. She was completely different than the first one. She was very young and peppy with a cute little southern accent. We didn’t whip out the video camera this time. My husband and I brought my mother with us since we were finding out the gender and my mom is about as excited as we are. The tech showed us everything she was looking for and told us the different parts/​organs/​bones we were looking at. We were amazed! She spent about 20 minutes looking around and taking pictures. We then saw Dr. Masaki. He also took a look around at organs and confirmed we were having a boy. He made everything so fun and exciting! He was very animated the entire time and acted as if he was even excited to take a look around and make sure our baby was ok. Dr Masaki and this tech completely changed our minds about this place! I look forward to seeing Dr. Masaki again in a few weeks for our 26 week check up and would send anyone with HR problems to see him!

My second pregnancy, and I got dumped into the «high risk» due to age, and the fact I was having twins, but mostly due to my age. So my doc referred me to this center, and I actually wish I had completed my entire care through them!
There are a variety of locations, so I am sticking to the Pinto Lane office specifically. This center is located near Valley Hospital, and using your GPS it is easy enough to find. Parking can be tight at times, depending on your appointment time, but is along the side and in the back. Take the stairs or elevator up to the second floor to get to the main entrance. Walking inside, the registration desk is off to the right side.
There a few seats in front of the window, but the far end is more spacious and open area, with four long benches, and 20-​plus seats, as well as a water fountain, and TV, which is dedicated to cartoon channels for the young kiddos sake. There is also a Play Room, more often than not it is closed. It is very nice for a medical office with colors giving you the feeling of being in that hacienda style home. It’s not your typical sterile, hospital state.
Technicians are always pleasant and VERY accommodating! You always get a friendly appointment reminder two days before hand, so that way you can always reschedule. Hubby has run late for some appointments but they hold off on starting until he gets into the room. Non Stress Tests are a BREEZE here! Unlike other areas where you end up having to sit around in one position for 2 or more hours — here it’s a 20 minute rule! No positive results then babies get a little stimulated to make sure you are out of there fast and furious. Also you get to sit in recliners versus a hospital bed!
So I was given Dr. Wold — and yes — he is AWESOME! I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any other of you fine ladies that are in this category. He has AWESOME bedside manner — and is very patient with any and all questions you may have. I have nothing but positive things to say about this facility — and wished I had had them from the beginning through post partum care!

I was referred to this office for my 13 week and 20 week ultrasounds as my Ob/​Gyn does not do these in their office. The front desk staff is poorly trained and rude. When they called to confirm my first appointment I was informed of a rather high co-​pay (double was my insurance has listed for a specialist), the girl on the phone could not explain why. For my second visit the co pay was less than half of the first visit, I again asked why and was told because I was seen on such and such date. I had to ask the girl 5 times before she finally told me the difference. Each time I asked she had to put me on hold and ask someone else, each time she came back with the same answer. She had no idea what was going on in her own place of employment.
When I arrived for my 20 week scan, the girl at the front wanted to confirm my address. She rattled off addresses of three different patients before I finally just provided her my address. A different girl walked us to our room, she was rude and made me very uncomfortable. She told me I needed to undress completely, I thought I was only there for an ultrasound. I asked why and she said well you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Of course I don’t, I have a Dr. who can check me and I do not know these Dr.‘s. She then said «Fine!» and slammed the door as she left. When I say she slammed the door, I mean anough to make my 8 year jump. The ultrasound tech came in and did apologize for the girls and was very nice and comforting.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF POSSIBLE, with my middle child I went to Desert Perinatel for high risk monitoring. Desert Perinatel is warm, welcoming and very well informed. High Risk Pregnancy Center makes an uncomfortable situation worse.

My initial OB/​GYN visit upon learning I was pregnant, prompted me to get co-​managed care from this center– my OB/​GYN recommended this center. I am in the «High Risk» category, due to my age (women over 35), my BP, and the fact that my 1^st pregnancy ended in miscarriage. It’s not the sort of thing you want to hear, because you get the feeling that you are sentenced to this category and you will automatically have all these health problems, issues, and conditions. There is a higher risk than someone who doesn’t have those three factors I mentioned. I was in decent shape before I got pregnant, physically active in all aspects, did not smoke, drink, or do drugs, and somewhat careful with my diet (and took vitamins & medication). I’m not a health fanatic, but given my family history, I take those extra steps for myself. So «High Risk» doesn’t mean, that I’m doomed. I’m listening to all my doctors, continuing with my workouts, taking my It’s just a scary thing, because another life is depending on me.
I made my appointment after I knew that the referral had gone through. The lady told me after 13 weeks is when they’d like to see me for my initial visit. I went to the website and downloaded the forms so I could fill them out before the appointment. I got a reminder call a day or so before, and it was suggested I take the «online interview» to speed up the process (less waiting time, and I wouldn’t have to be there 30 – 45 minutes prior), however, there was a glitch and I was stuck on a page with a drop-​down menu that didn’t display any options to choose. I called the center and another lady told me that it wasn’t absolutely necessary (and all the kinks hadn’t been worked out). On the day of the appointment, I was asked to move up my appointment to an earlier time (YES! PLEASE!), which wasn’t a problem. Anxious, eager, and excited were the words to describe what my husband and I were feeling, on this day (yesterday).
The center is located almost kitty-​corner from Valley Hospital (where I had surgery last fall), and easy enough to find. Parking is along the side and in the back. Take the stairs or elevator up to the second floor. When you walk inside, the registration desk is on the right side. Nice ladies there. I was given a couple other sheets to fill out (weren’t on the website), and I gave her my IDs to copy, as well as my co-​payment. There a few seats here, but the other side is the more spacious and open area, with four long benches, and 20-​plus seats, as well as a water fountain, and TV. There is also a Play Room but it was closed. It is very nice for a medical office, not the cookie cutter white-​washed walls (you know, the sterile, clinical feeling), very warm with colors (brownish rusty pink coral color family) and almost, elegant feeling with its chrome s-​curved lighting structures.
After a short wait, I was called back (told them my husband was running late) for the Genetic Counseling part of the appointment (part one). The ultrasound technician sat in, because she was new, and needed to be familiar. There is so much information during this part, it’s almost like a college lecture. My husband joined us soon after. Like I said, there is a ton of things to go over– there are a lot of tests to consider, a blood test (non-​invasive), chorionic villi sampling (but I’m past that point), and amniocentesis (risk of miscarriage). She talked about Downs Syndrome and Trisomy. We were asked about our family health history. She asked us what tests we wanted to do besides the ultrasound.
We went back to the waiting room, so that they could get a room ready for the ultrasound (part two). After getting called back again, another lady took my weight, blood pressure, and took us to the room. Here, is where we saw the little miracle in my tummy. The technician put warmed up jelly on my belly, and we saw all the details, it was AMAZING! We were able to see the leg, hand, neck, the brain, the beating heart, the stomach, and even witnessed movement, a twitch. The technician was very thorough and went through everything with us. She also printed pictures. She told us our baby is 2.5 inches at this point (it looks huge on the monitor). She reviewed them in another part of the office, and I was able to go to the bathroom.
The doctor came to see us shortly afterward. Here, he also took another look at my belly, also going through the pictures with us. He told us he didn’t see any problems. He cleaned up my stomach. We also, at this time, asked him many questions (we are first-​timers). We got more information here, too. The doctor was patient with us, taking the time to answer our questions and address our concerns. So, we felt reassured. I ordered the blood test (non-​invasive), for peace of mind. I signed a consent form ($ 160 out of pocket) and got the finger prick. We won’t know the results for another week, must send to the lab.
At checkout, I made my appointment for a month later.

i went to the Henderson office of this practice for all my ultrasounds and genetic testing and they were always really nice and pretty timely. Dr. Huang was good at answering my questions and he apologized to me for running behind, which was super nice of him. This practice is so not cheap even with good insurance, but a healthy baby is worth every penny.
