It's very unfortunate that I'm writing this review, but this place is an absolute nightmare. Thankfully after receiving a 2nd and 3rd opinion I'm able to confidently say that I would not trust this place with your prenatal care. I'm a woman in her late 20s, had a successful and healthy pregnancy before with no complications but was treated like I was high risk. I was told initially my progesterone levels were low, come to find out after multiple opinions they were not low to begin with and was prescribed medication I didn't even need.

I was then told at an ultrasound my baby's BPM were low, after multiple Doctor opinions, baby's BPM are right where they should be. This place has created so much anxiety and unneeded stress. I never ONCE met with a doctor I only was scheduled to see a PA, and to top it off the front desk woman was the person to relay my ultrasound was "abnormal". I would proceed with caution.

I have been going to this clinic for almost 10 years. Doctor Anderson is the most knowledgeable OB in the state, and if you can ever get an appointment with him, you'll see why people are coming from Iowa and Wisconsin just for his services. The family doctor side is amazing as well. I've had many hidden conditions found using this clinic that other doctors would have never checked for including Lymes, Cdiff, and doctor Anderson was more than happy to do my endometriosis surgery (other doctors would have told me to get a hysterectomy). Thank you to all of these doctors for caring about each individual who passes through here and not treating them as another number.

Dr. Spencer, Patrick Spencer, Dr. Mary, and Dr. Anderson are all wonderful. But if I call to get a same day appointment and they try to put me with Dr. Koberman - NOPE. She is not professional. I had an appointment with her for my daughter and after that experience, if I can't get in with one of the other doctors I go some place else. I am glad to hear that based off of the other reviews, I am not the only one who feels this way about Dr. Koberman.
