Dr. Moore is so friendly and caring. I had breifly met her before my son was born and was hoping she'd be the one delivering him. She did end up delivering him! I have requested her ever since for my regular appointments and always have a pleasant experience.

Dr. Ruchi Moore is not only an amazing OB/Gyn, she is a phenomenal person. I travel an hour and a half with an extremely busy schedule to see her for my yearly visits. She genuinely cares about my well-being. I am a healthy person with little to no medical issues so I am not very helpful in that regard, however the care and concern that she projects is by far the best from any doctor I have ever dealt with. I highly recommend her and her staff.

Report
I had not been to a GYN in several years as the exams were painful after menopause. I was referred to Dr. West by my Primary Care Dr. and am so glad I followed thru and had a visit. She is very kind, gentle, thorough and explains everything so you understand. I would highly recommend Dr. West and will continue seeing her on a regular basis.

I orginally saw Dr. West for my first appointment with Laurel OBGYN and she was great! I saw the new practitioner, Dr. Mix, for my IUD insertion. She was AMAZING! Obviously an IUD is gonna be super uncomfortable to be put in, but she talked me through everything and was super comforting. Loved her!
