Inappropriate comments. Inappropriate Ads. At your cervix? Seriously? Dr. Jeffrey Brown. did your mother ever teach you how to respect women and their anatomy? And yet, women throw their bodies your way with this kind of mindset? wow. Please ladies, if you respect your body, go elsewhere. Hands down least professional practice I have ever seen. Would you really want him drinking beers with his buddies and talking about YOUR cervix? Comments like that, prove he has 0 class. Misogynistic much?

What a joke this place is. The last 3 appointments I have waited anywhere between and hour and three before getting sent home every time. "Babies come" is what we get told. You have to dedicate a full day off just to come get results for blood work. If you aren't having a child so they can drain your insurance, you aren't a priority and will be sent away. Very sad way to treat humans.

Dr Robin houpe is amazing! I will continue to go to her from now on. She is very understanding and answer questions and is friendly as well as amazing at explaining things to me. First Dr to ever make me feel comfortable with my visits. Thank you so much.

I love the doctors and PAs there so the one star is not for them. However, I went in for a blood draw this morning with the lab tech Cathy. She was extremely rude and treated me with distain. I asked her to please check for additional orders for other tests for thyroid that needed to be done that I had asked for the day before from the nurse. She rattled them off without even letting me finish my sentence.
Then she said they don't except outside doctor orders I needed blood drawn and they were similar with the exception of two. So finally she called and got permission and then just treated me horribly as she went to draw my blood I said to her if you were having a bad day I would rather you not be the one that is poking me. And she deflected and put it off on me saying that I was the one in the bad mood. Needless to say her professionalism is in the toilet! And I hope she is reprimanded, I am in the medical field as well and I do not appreciate the disrespect. Had I treated a patient the way she treated me I would've been fired.

I went to circle of life my very first pregnancy 4 years ago and loved it! I decided to go back for this next pregnancy and it is the biggest mess of a clinic I have ever seen. I'm so sad that this is how it ended up. I decided to give it 2 more tries because I just couldn't believe how bad it was, but after the second appointment I just didn't feel comfortable being in the care of this facility during my pregnancy. I hope it returns to how it used to be.

I'm surprised at the negative reviews. I've been going to Circle of Life for the past 5 years, initially for birth control and then for prenatal care. The only negative experience I've had was with Dr. Julia Johansson. She was the first doctor i saw because i preferred a female, and she is SO short with you to the point that it's rude. She cannot be bothered to answer any questions.
I switched to Dr. Bierer when I got pregnant and he is incredible. So caring, experienced, kind, takes the time to answer questions. He delivered my first baby via c-section due to the cord being wrapped around my baby's neck. He gave me options and i was comfortable through the entire experience. My recovery was easy. He did a great job and the scar is only 3 inches. I'm now pregnant with my second baby and he said I can do a VBAC if I would like, or another c-section.
Other positives: You get 3d ultrasound photos every visit The nurses are friendly & the blood work technicians do a great job, hardly any pain at all The building is comfortable and cozy I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my appointment.

So far the experience with the doctors and nurses has been amazing, other than having to wait up to an hour and a half sometimes. But that's no big deal considering they may be called into helping with a birth at times. The only problem me and my wife have been having is with the billing and financial side of things. They take advantage of you, will talk in circles, and will either make up or "not have" certain policies that goes against what they WANT instead of what is right.
They refuse to work with us and talk it out, and are being extremely rotten about it. It's just interesting to see a company full of adults bully and take advantage of a 21 year old mom about to have her first child. But like I said, at least our doctor Karen McBride and our nurses, have been extremely kind and helpful
