Dr. Renan has been my OBGYN for about 10 years. He's the most loving, caring doctor I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to answer any questions. I know he cares for me as a person and not only as a patient. When it was time for me to deliver my son, Dr. Renan had to go out of town for business. His associate ended up delivering my son. Dr. Renan called the hospital from the airport to see how I was doing with contractions, delivery etc..I don't know any doctor that would do such a thing. He really cares about his patients. I've recommended Dr. Renan to several of my friends and they all love him. When I'd changed my insurances, I'd always make sure that Dr. Renan would accept it, if not, I wouldn't get that insurance. I wouldn't have any other gynecologist, but Dr. Renan. He's my favorite doctor!!!!

Dr. Renan was recently dropped from the Lakeside Medical Group, much to my dismay. I first went to Dr. Renan after having a miscarriage and after getting pregnant again, my OBGYN told me I would miscarry again...but Dr. Renan was optimistic. Yes, I had to wait at least an hour before seeing him each visit, and yes I thought of changing my doctor every time I went to his office while I was pregnant, but in the end, he came through. He delivered our beautiful 10 pound 4 ounce baby, without C section and his bedside manner came out in the hospital. He came to check on my in the middle of the night and early morning (1am, 3am, 5am) and I couldnt speak any more highly of him. He saved my baby girl and I will always be thankful to him. I will tell stories of him to my children and grandchildren one day. He is an exceptional doctor.

I agree with everyone's comments, but I beleive Dr Renan is very skilled in what he does, but the wait time and the 'useless' staff do not help the already bad name he has managed to make for himself. I had a very successfull delivery and one excellent surgery to remove a cyst and some fibroids. It is true that for fertility issues he will send you to an on-contracted lab for test and also an uncontracted clinic. He sent me to Dr Snunit Ben-Ozer who is very good, but her follow up is zero.I had to pay out of pocket for all my tests and visits to her, only to get harrased with phone calls and faxes to my office, cell and home, because I had a $65 balanace. After leaving a $350 deposit for my last visit,I was amazed that they thought I would be running away for a mere $65. Well,to cut the story short I never received any treatment and I am now pregnant. I was torn between going back to Renan or to my wonderfull Dr Andy Huang at the Rep Partners in BH. hmmmmm DR HUANG WINS! BIG TIME.

We had a great experience with Dr. Renan and his staff. They were very helpful in assisting in everything, especially in helping get things straightened out with our insurance company. Dr. Renan was nothing less than a pleasure to work with. He is honest and straightforward and understood our desires during our pregnancy, making every effort to accomodate them. We feel very grateful to have him as our doctor and know that because of him we had a very successful pregnancy and birth of our first son (September 2008).

He failed to give me a positive result from a papsmear regarding precancerous cells in my uterus! Another OBGYN caught it 6 months later when my records were faxed over!!!!!!!

Dr. Renan is a rude, condescending, alarmist, uncaring physician. He constantly berated me for my weight gain (which was well within the normal range) and I waited on average approximately 2 hours FOR EVERY VISIT. As for the delivery, I was induced and needed a vacuum extraction, which left me with immediate pelvic floor dysfunction, and my epidural gave me an excruciating headache that lasted for 2 weeks. While he may not be ultimately responsible for the complications with my delivery, his flippant and insensitive manner afterwards was inexcusable. Dr. Renan never returned my calls regarding my postpartum problems, and his office staff was just as useless.

Dr. Renan does not believe in giving people their medical information or sharing it with other doctors. He is rude and uncaring.

I wish I could change doctors, but it's a bit late in the game. The main problem with Renan is is office staff, who are stupid and rude. It reflects very badly on him. They make really amazing and often dangerous mistakes regarding test results. Renan himself is probably a good doctor, but he is lazy. He has the staff do everything for him, including sign legal documents, which is basically fraud. He never remembers me from appointment to appointment. I wish I could get someone else to deliver my baby at this point. The weight thing is also a riot. He yelled at me for gaining too much weight, but then when my weight gain stopped in the 3rd tri, he was concerned about that. Many women gain weight irregularly--he's the kind of doctor who looks at numbers and not the patient. He's an egomaniac. Hope the delivery goes well because I cannot change docs at this point.
