I would not recommend Dr. Sirott to anyone.  I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with this doctor when I went into labor with my first child and my primary OB Dr. Matsuda was not available and Sirott was the only person on call.  I had a birth plan that was given to her which when asked, her nurse stated to me in a very short manner that  "she was AWARE of it".  This immediately gave me the impression that she was most likely not going to consider any of my requests on the birth plan what so ever.  I am not a picky person by any means and my requests were simple and I didn't have a novel for a birth plan.  I wasn't one of those pregnant women who insisted on a specific birth experience because I knew that anything could very well happen during my delivery that would be out of my control BUT there were a few things Sirott did that I believe was unacceptable.  She,first of all, broke my bag of waters without asking me.  I expressed to her my concern about waiting for it to break on it's own and she did not listen.  Instead, she pretended not to hear me and had a conversation with the nurse about my condition, right in front of me while she broke my bag of waters.  Secondly, she told me that she wanted to give me pitocin to speed up my contractions.  I again expressed my concerns and asked if we could wait but she immediately threatened to either give me pitocin or else a c-section would be performed.   I then succumbed to the medication and after the delivery of my daughter she had the nerve to say that "all it took was the threat of a c section" to get things going.  She actually admitted that she threatened me with the c section procedure.  Lastly, my husband wasn't given the opportunity to cut the umbilical cord as requested on the birth plan.  Sirott cut the cord immediately after delivery.  My husband and I looked at each other right away with very saddened expressions.  
I may have needed my bag of waters to be broken and in the end maybe pitocon was needed to help the progress of my delivery but Sirott's manner in which she suggested and performed any or all of these medical procedures was in no way professional or kind.  I really did feel like the experience was robbed from me.  The delivery that I thought would be an amazing experience had turned out to be more traumatic since it felt as though this doctor was trying to get the job done so she could leave for the day.  She is rude, short, and unprofessional to say the least. She has no consideration for her patients feelings and I hope that this review is helpful for the next expectant mother who is looking for the right OB.  Sirott is definitely not the one.
