They don't really seem to care much. Have a problem when the medicine they give you isn't working and you want to try something else. I tried two doctors here Dr. Hancock was the worst. The lady would rush me and also would have irritated look when I asked questions. Dr. Hancock just seemed like she was in it just to work with babies.

I have been going here off and on since I was a teen. I have had interactions with pretty much every doctor there with being pregnant, experiencing a miscarriage and just general women's care. Overall, it's a good practice. The nurses are awesome, always really friendly and willing to listen. They also are great about answering questions over the phone or through the online portal. Dr. Peyton is my least favorite Doctor here. she lacks a lot of bedside manner.
There are times where I think they are a bit rushed, as a lot of people go here due to it being the only OB/GYN practice in the Rocky Mount area. The front staff can be a bit cold (especially when it comes to insurance issues and being super COVID ridiculous) but other than that it's not terrible. I guess there are some days where your visit is just hit or miss. I'd say if you have significant health issues or pregnancy issues, maybe find a smaller practice where more time can be taken with you.

I had the opportunity to have two kids with the doctors here. The first pregnancy was a good experience with Dr. Hancock, as she was a new doctor at the time. However, the second pregnancy I was treated as a nobody. Every doctor I visited seemed rushed and dismissive. I experienced horrible pain and continuous bleeding throughout my second pregnancy but none of the doctors would explain why I felt so unpleasant and none took the time to express any care or understanding.
I felt horrible and alone. I would not recommend these doctors to treat pregnant women who are experiencing a major change to their life and body. The most dismissive doctors were Hancock, bullerdick, van zant, and Peyton that I can remember. The midwives are AMAZING, however, they would not allow a midwife to be my primary doctor. Hancock did have more patience but it was not enough more as I was an emotional reck during my second pregnancy. I'd rather travel to see a kind compassionate doctor than be around these doctors.

The receptionist and sonographer were great and made me feel very comfortable. However Dr. Christina R. Peyton was a bit dismissive. She did not introduce herself, I had to ask if she was my doctor when she walked in. She did not ask me if I had any questions. She pretty much lacked bedside manners. She did attempted to refer me to specialist. However I do have specialist back in my hometown that I prefer and I was very kind when I declined the referral.
After expressing my interest in my own specialist Dr. Christina R. Peyton became disinterested and cut the conversation short. She never explained what my situation was or asked me if I understood what was happening. She told me about blood work and gave me verbal directions to the lab and when I asked her if my last blood was for the same thing she disclosed my information in a public setting which was very unprofessional and embarrassing. For this reason I will never come back here which I'm sure doesn't matter to anybody. However I felt the need to share this unfortunate experience.

The only OBGYN I've been to since being in Nash County! The nurses, ladies at the front desk, and all of the doctors there are awesome. I've never received a bad attitude, an unanswered question, or left feeling like I never wanted to go back. My insurance deemed them as not a medical provider for me, and they still allowed me to come see my doctor (Dr. Hancock) don't hesitate to check them out. I love them!
