Report
Made to feel extremely comfortable and easily opened up. Was explained the entire process of my appt from A-Z! Was even pushed through for a procedure (due to I believe a cancellation) that would have typically required an additional appt. Extremely pleased by the initial appt!

Doctors are honestly been coming here for years. Dr Thompson delivered my first and he is amazing. all providers are great and provide excellent care; except what the heck is with the wait time it use to never take this long. The past two times I've been it's taken the doctors over an hour to see me. I just sit in the empty room for literally an hour. It use to not be like this. Something has to give.

I've seen three different MD's at this practice and each one is smart, knows his craft and I trust. The downfall of this practice is the incredibly LONG WAIT times to see the doctor when you have an appointment. I've waited 30 to 45 minutes on average and this is not acceptable. It feels like they're herding in cattle and each of us is in a pen waiting to be. well, you get my point. It's stressful as it is to go to the ob/gyn but to add to that with long wait times while you're sitting there with a sheet on is wrong.
Their excuse is the Dr got tied up with other patients. That may be true but the practice needs to consider that perhaps they aren't allotting enough time for each appointment. It really feels like you're just a cog in their money-making machine. Shame, shame, shame. Good doctors wrapped up in the $y$tem.

The staff at this facility are caring and very attentive. They take you seriously, look at your medical history and do what is best for you. They do not recommend dramatic treatments or surgery as the first or your only choice. They start gradually with treatment options and see what works best for you. WONDERFUL experience, will continue to come to this office for years to come.

Report
I have had to go through my pregnancy during Covid-19 which I'm sure many other patients here have had to endure. This team was, for the most part, very friendly and helpful. My poor review reflects the provider who turned me away when I was in active labor only to have to return to the hospital 2 hours later in agonizing pain! Also, I do not have child care for my infant due to Covid and when I brought him in with me for another appointment a few months later (in his carrier completely covered) they turned me away because he wasn't allowed in the office. "What am I supposed to do with him if i don't have childcare" is what I asked and the attendant just shrugged her shoulders and asked if I would like to reschedule. Save your sanity and go to another provider's office.
