I am 69 and asked for options for painful intercourse. I was told to immediately switch from the vagifem to Intrarosa. I said I would read about it and call if I wanted a script. Intrarosa has NO formal impartial studies that have been conducted, yet the NEXT day my online pharmacy phoned to ask if I wanted to fill the new script of Intrarosa. Very pushy doctor who also did not discuss any other options and forgot to test for CA 125. He mentioned the drug rep for Intrarosa had visited the morn of my appointment!
I asked if he knew of the website MiddlesexMD - no.
I asked about the names of lubricants he could recommend and all he knew of was astroglide , KY or replens; his female assistant also knew nothing.

He "delivered" my daughter/ was out to lunch, so the resident doctor ended up actually delivering her. Also, I hemorrhaged twice after I delivered and again the only doctor there for me was the resident. Would not go back to this practice for my next child.

Lacks thoughtfulness and follow through. I have been seeing Dr. Namkoong for a while and ended up in the ER several times following his medical advise. When calling back his office for help or seeking assistance from other doctors in his absence, they have treated me as though they did not care and did not have many answers except for "Do what you want to do". Unfortunately, I think the practice may be growing bigger than they can handle.

Dr. Namkoong is an amazing OBGYN. He explains procedures and pros and cons in language that is thoriugh and respectful. He is kind and makes his patients feel heard. He helped me with a problematic pregnancy/birth making sure I was healthy and making sure my baby was safe. I trust everything recommended by Dr. Namkoong because even when I have had unusual occurences in my healthcare he has been able to help me through everything with expertise and compassion. I love the entire practice.

Dr. Namkoong is a knowledgable, competent and thorough doctor as well as a wonderful man. He delivered my daughter and treated me for a very sensitive medical matter. He was very informative while maintaining his humanity. His nurse, Tina, is equally as wonderful.

I love Dr. Namkoong. He is an amazing physician both technically as well as emotionally. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is extremely thorough. He takes the extra few moments to sit with patients to make sure that they fully understand their medical conditions and answers any and all questions. He performed a c-section on me a few years back and did a great job. He talked me through the entire procedure and kept me calm. I would recommend him to anyone. In addition, the office staff is great. They are rarely late and highly organized. Dr. Namkoong's nurse Tina is also a huge plus. She is just as wonderful as he is.
