Patients receive personalized care plans and education to ensure healthy outcomes for mother and baby.

I have only been seen here once, but was very pleased upon first impression. Staff was polite and prompt, my medical assistant was very kind, and Dr Scott Readence is a real gem. He sits and talks with you in his personal office before he examines you and I was very pleasantly shocked when he had actually read my medical history thoroughly prior to walking in with me. He also took the time to casually chat with me and make a point to get to know me as a person and not just his patient.
He's gentle during exams too and does his best to chat with you while he's doing the exam so it's less uncomfortable and less awkward. I would happily let Dr Readence take care of me during a future pregnancy!

I cannot stay silent any longer. This practice is highly unethical and does not care about the well being of their patients. a few years ago now, someone close to me went here for a mammogram. PIWH were aware after this procedure that she had breast cancer, however they never told her. Another doctor unrelated to this practice made her aware of this diagnosis months and months after the fact. she could have gotten treatment much sooner had PIWH actually cared about the wellbeing of their clients.
I also personally had numerous experiences in which my concerns were invalidated and ignored. While I was under 21, the PIWH medical professional advocated for me to drink alcohol related to the issues I was facing, instead of providing actual medical advice. if you value your health, please do not go here.

I have been coming here ever since I moved to Harrisburg 20 years ago! Staff is always super friendly and there is a board when you check in that gives the status of all the doctors, so you know right away if any are running a little behind. The mammogram area is like a spa setting! Very nice.

I have gone to this practice for over 24 years. They delivered both my children and have never had any problems with the doctors or staff. They are all very nice and helpful. My daughter now goes here also and loves it. The doctors we see that I would recommend to anyone is Dr Cohen and Dr. Wegrzyniak. They are all great but these are the 2 we use.

The doctors themselves are great. Although I cannot give them 5 stars because I do find myself going back and fourth between them and my PCP for health concerns and issues only experienced during pregnancy. The nurse triage depending on who you get some are somewhat rude. Erin in the nurse triage is great, she is very helpful and would check in often when I spoke with her. It also appears with certain concerns as a patient near the end with working and the effects of such as mentally and physical isn't as a concern as most of the reason any of this takes place is due to pregnancy.

Do not go here the person who runs the practice is a money hungry freak which is very sad cause the doctors are top notch but the office staff Isn't and neither is the person who runs it. They don't care about your well being or your kids. I am almost 40 weeks pregnant I lost my insurance switched to state cause it was my only option and they told me they can't see me even though it's my last app.
They tried to tell me I needed to bring like 2060 dollars and pay them cause they don't work with the state. And I told her that's impossible and the I couldn't afford to do that they told me it was my only option and that no other doc will see me this late in my pregnancy. I hope this practice gets shut down and this isn't the last time you will hear from me. Do not go here
