Javid Athiya MD

She took care of me when I was pregnant with my son, he came out w the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck but she did some old school stuff and just shoved her finger between the cord and his neck while I pushed him out, my husband didn’t get to cut the cord but we were not complaining because our beautiful son was healthy. I feel like any other Doctor would have pushed him back in there and told me to get a C Section lol. Anyway she’s great and will use her again if I have another kid.

I have been meaning to find a new OB/​GYN for a while now. I usually come here for birth control prescriptions. The biggest downside is Dr. Javid won’t sign a prescription for longer than 6 months, which I have NEVER experienced and is a pretty big inconvenience, especially considering her hours and that I work full-​time. I have been on the same prescription for at least 4 – 5 years now, so I see this as very excessive.
My first visit was a terrible wait and generally the wait is 30 – 60 min for a 5 min visit. However, Dr. Javid is very polite. I also had a pap once since being there, which was the most painful pap I’ve had, but I can’t attribute that to the experience itself necessarily. Overall, the pap experience was fine, and I was given my results pretty quickly.
The front desk used to be terrible but has since improved drastically. I would consider that the only pro aside from Dr. Javid’s politeness and the nice facilities. Parking is a pain, but most hospitals aren’t great that way.
If I needed anything more complicated than a prescription, I might consider elsewhere.

I am still waiting for test results that I was told I would get Thursday. I played phone tag with this office trying to get my test results. Finally talking to someone finding out they still didn’t have my results on Friday afternoon. She was going to call the lab to find out what was going on. Then again with the phone tag. Only to find out the office closed early on friday. I just want my test results so I can go somewhere else. I don’t want to go through the tests all over again.

No ideas why the reviews are so low — yes the office is quite full; but the staff are quick and friendly and dr javid is very professional. She helped me with my first pregnancy and again with this one — although meeting time with her is quite quick — she analyzes me very well

I should’ve listened to all of the other horrible Unilocal reviews about this office, but I was in desperate need and called this office for an appointment.
I called around 9:30AM and told the girl who picked up that I am a new patient, needing to come in as soon as possible. She told me, «Come in before 11:00AM and we can squeeze you right in!» She did not take down my name or anything, but I assumed she knew what she was talking about.
I took off work and headed there right away, arriving a little before 10:00AM. I walked in and no one bothered greeting me. A few workers standing behind the counter just talking and laughing with each other. Finally the girl at the front desk said something, I told her I’m a new patient and called earlier. She replied that they’re not taking any without appointments and that the earliest would be around noon, after they fit all of their scheduled patients in. Are you kidding me? She asked what number I called, I showed her my phone and stated that someone told me specifically to come in before 11.
I just turned and walked towards the door, I heard her asking «so did you want to come in after 12 or no?» Haha NO.
Waste of time, horrible communication and customer service, no responsibilities taken.

dont come here! i came here last year when i was pregnant and everytime i came i waited over 30 minutes for them to call me in. the longest ive waited was almost two hours! oh and yeah, i had an appointment. i waited for almost two hours only so that dr javid would come in and check the babies heart beat and say healthy baby. wow. really only that! and when i gave birth to my son at oconner hospital she cut my sons umbilical cord and she didnt even ask my husband if he wanted to. he was so upset. also be prepared to walk down the hall for urine test, because they wont let you go into their bathroom. if you have insurance not including medical. i reccomend dr. nidhi jacob. she works in palo alto medical foundation in san jose.

Hi– I have been patient of Dr. Athiya Javid for last 19 years… She has delivered 3 of my kids. Now their age is 19−16−10… Never had any issues with her or her employees I don’t know Her new sraff but sure miss Gina… I have recommended her to many of my friends and we are all satisfied…
Thanks for every thing

This doctor from my experience is heartless. She showed no concern for my pain, my birth plans, and no concern to acknowledge my husband (but at the time he was fiancé). This day of giving birth was so suppose to be filled with positive energy and people that cares about the well being of my baby/​health & mine and give a gentle and kind, caring type of experience that will be a wonderful one to talk about and remember. But also to care about respecting the father and any family that may come to appointments or the day of the baby being born. She also robbed a beautiful moment from my husband and I that we can not get back and something we looked forward to very much. she cut the cord of our daughter when I told her that my fiancé wanted to cut the cord. I would think at her age and profession she would no after better. I mean after delivering how many babies? Wow she should know better about asking every parent what there wishes are for their special experience. You can’t make and delivery babies every day! It’s not easy to go through with pregnancy and all that comes with it health wise and emotionally. It’s a scary thing when it comes to birth and it’s also the most beautiful spiritual experience for a mother and father. It’s a shame you have no care for certain people. Racist…(smh)

Worst staff ever!
Dr. Javid has been my doctor for years and I have always had a hard time getting staff to return phone calls — making an appointment usually takes several phone calls. I have finally reached my breaking point and will no longer use and suggest anyone else do the same.
Won’t get into all the details, but the staff is incredibly incompetent, doesn’t return phone calls, schedules surgeries without checking dates, sits on test results for months not to mention the doctor is often VERY late to her appts — even if you are the first one… she was an hour late into the office this last visit.
Over it — finding a new doctor.

First visit to discuss some changes to my cycle. I got a call 20 minutes before the appointment saying that the doctor wouldn’t be in that morning and asked if I could reschedule for that same evening, I do. It took half an hour wait to see the doctor and, when I do and explain the reason for my visit, she says birthcontrol pills will solve my issues. This bothered me because she didn’t ask about my medical history at all. I explain that I can’t take hormonal birthcontrol and tell her why, but she insists I should take it. I emphasize I’ve been heavily advised to not take them and she still pushed them! She gave me one month’s worth of pills (yes, I walked away with pills I don’t intend on taking) and asked for a follow-​up in 4 weeks. Needless to say, I’m not coming back. She didn’t care about my medical history or my well-​being in the least. I wish I had seen these reviews before my appointment, would have saved myself the time and co-​payment.
Edit: I just realized (hours later) that she never even gave me directions on how to take the pills.

This is the worst medical office. You show up for your scheduled appointment and you do not get seen until the next 2hrs. Although you’re in pain, Dr Javid does not give you medication, she refers you to the ER, if that was the case I could have done that from the beginning instead of wasting my time for a 3 minute consultation for nothing!
The office is so small and stuffy. People are breathing on each other. Such a bad experience. I wish the Board of Doctors can get involved.

This lady doesn’t even deserve a star! She is horrible! I started seeing her in February 2013 when I was pregnant with my son, never once did I actually have an appointment with her, it was always with her nurse practitioner which was an AMAZING person! She did everything to make me comfortable and answered all my questions. I went and had an ultrasound and the 2 people doing were HORRIBLE! One didn’t know what she was doing she even admitted it and the other was putting so much pressure on my stomach it was extremely painful! But on dr. Javids account at 19 weeks I was having horrible back pain so I called and she told me to just go to the emergency so I did. I spent hours in emergency and never once did she come to check on me or call. I got told that I might have a bladder infection because I had mucus coming out so I just listened to them and took the antibiotics they provided. Well the week later I started bleeding horribly so I called her once again and she didn’t help just told me to go to emergency. So once again I did. I then found out I never had a bladder infection and that she knew that and just never told me so the emergency doctors where shocked that she hadn’t told me. I found out that the reason for the mucus the week before and the bleeding I now had was because my cervix had opened and that the week before and it was my amniotic fluid coming out anf that I should of gotten it sewed shut but now it was too late. I was losing my baby and they didn’t know if my water had broken yet. My white blood count was extremely high and I had to stay over night. I went home and went to my high risk doctor (dr javid just transferred me without talking to me) I went and the doctor told me flat out I was losing my son. I went into labor at exactly 21 weeks which was later that night and at 7:18am April 23, 2013 I gave birth and lost my son. Just please if you decide to go to her make sure that you are on her about EVERYTHING!

Sadly, as a followup — I have made it a point to call three times a week for about… guess a month and a half since my last update. At this point, the majority of the time the phones just go straight to voicemail, no one even bothers picking up? This happens whether its during the morning or afternoon (this is all during regular hours) and I’ve had to call the doc’s ‘emergency only’ cellphone in order to speak to Fardha, who manages the accounts. It’s the only way she seems to know how to pick up a phone. Still waiting on her to tell me whether she cleared things up with the insurance company, so pretty much still stuck at the same spot. I’m shocked at this level of service. 0 stars if I could.

Having booked an appointment on phone for 1^st visit, we recently visited San Jose clinic for my wife. Guess what, lady called Farha at counter was making weird face looking at our insurance card. Who gave them an appointment? — she said to her associate. And let me tell you guys, we haven’t devised yet an ability to make ourselves invisible so that she could believe we were not there before she said such things.
She asked us to change our plan just to visit her Doctor or else we would pay out of pocket for that visit. Moving to San Jose and having three weeks gap between last Dr. appointment in third trimester was overwhelming enough for us already. Least staff there could do was to route us to right Doctor and not make our problems worse by behaving rudely. Being from healthcare profession, aren’t these guys by definition supposed to be nice and warm?

I went to see her for ovarian pain.
Dr. Jaavid is never available. You schedlue appts like months away.
She’s always busy.
She doesn’t belive in pain medication.
Others say she is great, she may be. Maybe just different situations.

In 2006 and 2007 Dr. Javid delivered both of my girls. At that time I would go to the Los Gatos office. She seemed attentive back then. However, I am now expecting once again. And it seems like she has expanded her practices from the Los Gatos office and her Forest Ave. office, to the San Jose office. Since I do have MEDICAL. I was told that medical patients are only being seen at the San Jose office. In which I found discriminatory. I do not understand why, I am being forced into only being seen at the San Jose office due to the fact that I have Medical Insurance. Let it be known I reside closer to the Los Gatos Office. Anywho, the office staff at the San Jose location lacks discipline and customer service. I found them to be rude and unattentive when it comes to the paper work and calling one back to schedule an appt. At 13 weeks of my pregnancy. In which my due date is 09÷25÷12. I noticed a pinkish reddish mucus on my pantys. I immediately called her office and announced to the MA what my symptoms were. She then said to hold. Which I did waiting impatiently while she took like 5 minutes to get back to me. From there, she suggested I call Dr. Javid. So I did. I called her at her cell, and then once on the phone with Dr. Javid. I told her my symptons as well. And the first thing she asked was. «what type of insurance do you have»? I replied Medical and she said «go to my San Jose office or the ER. I ended up going to the emergency room, thinking that if I would go all the way to her San Jose office, she’d probably send me to the E.R., incase there were to be a miscarriage. Once at O’connor Hospital, they diagnosed me with «Threatened Abortion» in which I googled and seems to be a threatened miscarriage. I am now at risk of miscarrying my child until I reach 20 weeks of pregnancy. I was told by the physician at O’connor Hospital to check up with my gynecologist within 2 – 3 days. So I did. I called on the 2^nd day and there goes her receptionist/​MA. Telling me that my doc. is not available. That if I felt like I was in danger I should go to my nearest ER. I felt emotionally frustrated and scared. All I want is to have a OBGYN who I can count on if there were to be a non emergency room visit. A dr. who can advise me on what it is I should do. It is now my 3^rd day since I went to the ER. and I am still spotting. I currently searching for an attentive gynocologist in which I can feel at ease with. Therefore, if anyone reads this post. And knows of a good doc., please let it be known.
Love Pink

Dr. Javid is an horrible doctor! She does not respect her patients time. ALWAYS LATE, VERY SHORT AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I would have to literally wait 1– 1 ½ hours at all my visits. My last visit with her a few years back, I was scheduled at 11:00 am; I’ve waited in the lobby for her 1 ½ and she was no where to be found. I then approached the office manager and she apologizes to me and said she will try to reach her and find out where she was at. Finally, she gets an hold of her, Dr. Javid asked her to tell me to come back at 2:00 pm. WTF??? SO TERRIBLE!!!

I was refered to this Dr. I had the worst experience ever !. Front desk never called me to confirm my appts. Not one call.ever. The staff at that office are all over the place, rude, unprofessional, and definitely Not efficient… I dont know how that Dr. has kept her practice… I waited in the room for a very long time. When the Dr. finally came in, she was so snappy, it was unbelievable. I was in and out of that room very fast. Be sure I switched Dr’s.

Dr Javid came as a recommendation by my previous OB/​GYN
Her office is very fast paced and I think her employees always seem over worked because they are.
Cons:
The office will not call you for anything other then if something is wrong. I never EVER got a call. not even a friendly checkup reminder.
the front desk will make an appointment when the dr isn’t avaliable
actually the front desk doesn’t really have it together 100% of the time
Dr Javid herself is very quick paced. She can breeze in and out of the room quickly. I was starting to feel kinda overlooked, and I had some concerns about the office. Once I talked to her about them she assured me and I felt better, she does listen!
I had a issue with LABCORP, they broke my blood vial & sent the retake ‘dirty’ for my baby’s down syndrome test, so I got a letter in the mail saying the state couldn’t use the blood vial. Well the office had gave me the test with only 3 days (usual is 15) to take it, they had missed a blood work paper in my initial visit. So I was freaking out and talked to the Dr. She apologized and gave me 3 months worth of sample vitamins to take home (nice because they would have cost me $ 120!)
I mean I liked her, but if this was my first pregnancy, I wouldn’t.

I hate to write a negative review, especially for a doctor office since I used to work for a doctor’s office myself. I usually hold these places with high regard in reference to their profession. However, this has been a 8 months issue that has not be solved.
They billed me three times. I paid for the service on site. I even wrote a check in case this happens. First time I called, they assured me that it’s resolved. It was not. Second time, they explained that the billing office is at a different location. It was not resolved. Unnecessary effort on my part, but this was not the issue.
At first, I was given a three month Rx since the Dr. wanted to try a new method. She didn’t like the one I was using for the last six years! She said that she felt strongly against it. After three months, I wanted to stay with what I was familiar with. The pharmacist told me that they denied my request for refill. I called three times and left two messages at this time. No one got back to me. During the times I called, I was put on hold multiple time. This made me feel horrible since I have to schedule my lunch after their lunch at work. I wasn’t going to give up since I didn’t pay for just 3 months worth of RX when a typically RX usually last for a year. Finally, they approved. I was so upset that I wanted to be done with them that I offered to pick up the RX myself and deliver it myself. They assured me that it was fine. And it was.
After three months, my pharmacist informed me that they again denied the request for renewal. I again had to find the time to call them. Called twice and left one message, expressing how unhappy I was. They renewed the RX.
After six months, I was tired of going through them. I decided to leave it up to the pharmacist. They told me that I was good for six months, but only received Rx for 3 months as of then. I asked them every month when I pick up my Rx to assure that I will get refill the next month.
After nine month, the Dr office again denied another request. Now they told me that I have to go in for a six month exam. Now I’m furious. The six month period has already passed, why tell me now?
I would avoid this place.
