Mona Orady, MD - Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon - San Francisco, California

If you're considering endometriosis excision surgery, I emphatically recommend Dr. Orady.
Dr. Orady is one of the best people there is, she and her care team have been so incredible have played a huge part of my health care and endometriosis journey. Dr. Orady and her PA Grace Banks are so kind, caring, and compassionate about the treatment of women with endometriosis that have been failed for years before ending up in her office. They listened and validated my experiences. The time between initial appointments to determine the need for surgery to having surgery was much quicker than I was anticipating for such a renown specialist, only a couple of months. She did an incredible job with surgery and my healing has been incredible. Dr. Orady has changed my life with her care and I am eternally grateful.

Dr. Orady is by far the best gynecologist I’ve ever seen. For years, I struggled with painful periods, but about a year and a half ago, they became unbearable. I saw three other gynecologists before Dr. Orady, but none of them were able to properly diagnose my endometriosis or prescribe the right birth control for my condition. Dr. Orady is incredibly kind, confident, and thorough. She immediately ordered the necessary tests, including an MRI—something the previous doctors never suggested—and prescribed the right birth control while starting my endometriosis treatment. I’ve never felt better, and my condition is now much more manageable. I’m so grateful to Dr. Orady and highly recommend her to any woman looking for a compassionate, patient-centered gynecologist who truly listens and works with you.

I had a great experience with Dr. Orady and Grace. They seemed to care about each of their patients' experience and well-being. However, the insurance and claims process has been a repeating nightmare with me having to contact them, my insurance company, and any third-party providers to try and fix various errors in filing. Even two months after my last visit, I'm still having to waste time on this, and I'm not confident that anything will be resolved.

I would hesitate to recommend Dr. Orady to a friend because of this. If they could get their insurance process ironed out, I would change my stance.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Mona Orady and her team. I struggled with infertility for 1.5 years, and then after having surgery with Dr. Orady, I conceived naturally my first cycle post-op.

For years, none of my OBGYNs or REs seemed to care about my endo or my pain. Dr. Orady listened to me and was able to see things on my ultrasound that others could not. When Dr. Orady shared her interpretations with me, they made sense. It seems like a small thing, but I wasn't able to find that with other MDs.

If surgery is your goal, Dr. Orady will get you scheduled FAST. Excision surgery can be an insurance nightmare, but their team is skilled in working with different insurance companies.

This practice is relatively new, and it seems like they are still finding their way with certain things. I wouldn't always get responses to my messages, and the patient portal can be a little glitchy. These are small things though compared to the life-changing care I was so lucky to receive.

If you have pelvic pain or infertility, I HIGHLY recommend the Orady Clinic.

WOW!! Can I give 10 stars? 100? Dr. Orady is an angel. If you have period problems and haven't got any answers from other practitioners, look no further! I’ve just seen Dr. Orady once and already couldn’t recommend her more. It’s pretty wild how much of a difference seeing the right provider can make.

I’ve been struggling with period problems for the last 4-5 years and have seen at least 3 OBGYNs who have done all the ultrasounds and MRIs and have "found nothing wrong." Within seconds of looking at previous MRI results (which were declared "normal," I will add) and doing an ultrasound, Dr. Orady identified exactly what is wrong. She's truly a pro at the top of her field. I finally feel heard and validated. I wish every woman could have this level of care! I will get surgery with her in a few months.

What’s more is that Dr. Orady is so kind, down to earth, and empathetic. She clearly loves what she does and cares about her patients.

Her team members are also so sweet. Her office has zen spa vibes. Overall I had a great experience and am so so grateful to have found Dr. Orady.

It's not everyday you find a doctor like Dr. Orady. After months of researching providers specializing in endometriosis treatment, my intuition told me that Dr. Orady would be the right doctor for me. Not only is she an extremely well regarded expert in her field, she is also incredibly kind and personable.

I was searching for a highly skilled surgeon who would work with me as a partner (not as a dictator) in my treatment, and Dr. Orady did not disappoint.

Dr. Orady worked extensively with me to develop a clear treatment plan. We both agreed that surgery would be the next best step in this plan. Before the surgery, Dr. Orady and I carefully combed through my thoughts and wishes to ensure we had a solid plan before scheduling the procedure. One of the best experiences during this entire process was feeling heard and respected by Dr. Orady whenever I expressed my own knowledge and feelings regarding my condition and treatment options. This was a significant key in creating the sense of trust and safety I felt with Dr. Orady.

Another reason I felt such a strong sense of trust with Dr. Orady was her display of determination, this sense that failure is not an option when she has a goal in mind. A very nice trait to see in your doctor, especially if they are also your surgeon. Not only did this leave me with a feeling that she would provide the best surgical results possible but I was also left feeling there was no better provider to trust with my life while in the operating room. Of course, I can't imagine any doctor who wouldn't do their best to avoid mistakes when caring for patients, but once you see Dr. Orady in action, you'll understand what I'm explaining here.

After a great deal of planning, surgery day finally arrived. Going under general anesthesia is enough to make anyone nervous but the trust I felt for Dr. Orady and her team at St. Francis Memorial Hospital (including her PA, Grace Banks) significantly outweighed my fears. The morning of the procedure, Dr.Orady held my hand and reassured me that I would be well taken care of, and she was right...everything went incredibly well!

During the surgery, Dr. Orady was able to remove a significant amount of endometriosis and endometriomas, including the largest - around 18 cm. This was all done laparoscopically, which is amazing! I feel so much lighter, so much better!! I am extremely grateful to Dr. Orady and her team.

I would like to end this review by saying that, of course, every point of communication matters when a patient engages with a healthcare provider. Good communication helps the patient feel safe. However, mistakes occur when dealing with any business/provider/human, and if you feel as though someone in Dr. Orady's office has made a mistake, I suggest discussing the issue with Dr. Orady, as she is the type of person who will want to make it right. Also, remember, it won't be the office staff performing any aspect of your actual treatment (surgery, etc.), so I recommend keeping the bigger picture in mind, and focusing on the most important elements of care when deciding whether you'll choose Dr.Orady as your provider. In doing so, you'll eventually see Dr. Orady in person and discover, as I did, she truly is exceptional.

I have been seeing Dr. Orady since early 2020, and I can’t say enough good things about her. I have been dealing with a severe condition of uterine fibroids almost my entire adulthood. As my husband and I tried to grow our family, we knew that we had a nearly impossible battle to fight to conceive naturally. After consulting with many doctors, we decided to go with Dr. Orady to work on removing the fibroids and to maximize our chances of pregnancy. Dr. Orady examined me and my history, and was immediately on board to fight for a chance with us. Over the past 3.5 years and after numerous surgeries, we can honestly say we fought hard, and did everything we could with Dr. Orady's help. It was not a success story at the end, but we are at peace with the process and the outcome, knowing we tried our best. Also, everyone I spoke to, such as my primary care doctor, fertility doctor, nurses at the operating room, only had good things to say. One of the OR nurses was talking to me as I was rolled into the OR. After she learned my history, the nurse told me that Dr. Orady is the exact doctor I want to operate on me in my case. I can’t agree any more. Go see her if you need OB help, she will be your best ally and guide.

I just had to share my experience with Dr. Mona Orady. I went in very nervous as i have been struggling with symptoms for years and not had answers but her clinic and team just put me right at ease. Her office manager Jolieta was especially kind in explaining the wait times and paperwork required. Dr. Orady listened to all my concerns and explained everything to me very clearly. She even did an ultrasound right then and there and showed me exactly what was going on. I needed a polyp removal, and she did it right there in the clinic that day. The actual removal took less than 5 minutes, and I didn't have to go under general anesthesia which no other gynecologist prior had offered me a choice of. She also helped me confirm a diagnosis of endometriosis which other doctors had been overlooking for years. Dr. Orady has literally ended a ten year cycle of unexplained symptoms and pain within one visit. She is truly an expert in her field. My only regret is that i did not find her sooner. I immediately recommended her to my sisters, mom, and friends. I definitely recommend her for any gynecologic needs!
