North County Women's Specialists

Dr. Rachel Krochmal is a great OBGYN! I'd highly recommend Her. She is very gentle and really listens to your concerns. My experience with the Staff has been great as well.

Do not go here if your insurance covers you elsewhere! I have been seeing "the best women's specialist" within Palomar Health Medical Group" for 8 months to get treatment for PCOS and to try and get pregnant, my experience has been a waste of my time. I've only been seen 3 times, all of which have been booked incorrectly. I haven't even been able to get a simple follicle scan due to the receptionists not understanding the importance of timing specific services correlating with women's menstrual cycles. Not to mention, they don't have a patient portal so I am unable to view my own plan that my doctor outlines for me, I can't see notes, get in contact with my doctor, etc. My last appointment was supposed to be rescheduled to next week since Dr. Graven was going to be on vacation but come to find out, it never was. Dr. Graven is very knowledgeable but the rest of the office staff are rude and incompetent. There is a complete lack of communication/compassion for patients and I do not recommend coming here.

Rachel is so attentive, never in a rush and always answers all my questions. I’ve been seeing her since I first became pregnant in 2019 and decided to stay with her for all my womanly visits. She’s a great provider, very knowledgeable and trust her with my care 100%.

Rachel Krochmal is always so friendly and shows great concern. She takes the time to answer all my questions and isn't in a rush to get me out the door and onto her next patient. I highly recommend her!!

I recently had surgery with Dr. Cizmar and my #1 goal was keep me healthy and sexy for after surgery. LOL. Not only did he take great care of me but all of the nurses surprised me by how nice they were to me beginning and the end. I was very happy with the team.

I had a condition that was very dangerous to try to live with and that was severely impacting my quality of life. Dr. Cizmar and his staff kindly, carefully and efficiently took care of me as I navigated my way through my new circumstances. I now have a final post-op appointment coming up next month and can say that my experience with this team has been as perfect as possible. If you need help with gynecological issues, do not hesitate to call them at get the help you need!

The staff members were very kind! Dr. Hinshaw was great and listened to me!! It meant a lot to me because I have been through providers that don’t want to help directly address issues and I got the help I needed that’s within what’s comfortable for ME.

Dr Hinshaw has been my Dr for 3.5 years and has been wonderful. He was my OBGYN for prenatal care for my 2.5 yo daughter, has counseled me through several miscarriages, and also provided care for my most recent pregnancy. Dr Hinshaw takes the time to listen to your needs, show empathy during sad situations, and provide the sensitive care that we all hope for in a Dr. Under his care you feel like a person, not just a number. I highly recommend him and have been grateful to have him as my OBGYN provider.
