Women's Health Care

I am 27 and do not have any children. I initially began going to Women's Health Care because they were close to where I lived at the time and accepted my insurance. I have been a patient there for 3-4 years and until recently, had no strong feelings good or bad about Women's Health Care. Like most women, I went for my annual simply because I needed a refill for my birth control. Since annuals are pleasant I typically put off scheduling until last minute and as a result, have seen a different provider every time. Most recently however, I saw a midwife and had an amazing experience. She spent about 45 minutes with me which I found to be pleasantly surprising. My advice would be to see a nurse practitioner or midwife. Nurse practitioners and midwives seem to have the flexibility in there schedule to treat you as more of an individual rather than a number. I will be moving out of the area and am so sad to have to leave my midwife behind. My greatest complaint is the phone system...its obnoxious. I happened to be the first appointment of the day and running late due to construction and had no way of contacting someone directly in the office. more

I have called twice to leave a message for my doctor -- so far, she either doesn't get the message, or doesn't care -- good thing my issue isn't life threatening! If they tell you to get a certain treatment, shouldn't they actually order it? Just a thought--I don't expect a return call and can wait until my next ""yearly"" and then I'll let her have it! Cons: Can't contact doctor more

I went through my first pregnancy with them and they were great. My doctor I felt totally comfortable with and the same with the nurses. The only reason why I don't give them 5 stars is because the staff up front can be rude. more

The front staff is extremely rude and the nurses aren 't much better. They simply can't be bothered by the nurses' help line and were always short and unhelpful when I called. After 9 months of pregnancy appointments, the doctor still treated me like a first time patient she had never seen. And the wait time is horrendous. The office is never running on schedule. I once waited over an hour past my appointment. The front desk response? ""The doctors are always overbooked. There's nothing we can do"". I will NEVER be making another appointment at Women's Healthcare. Pros: Affliliated with Anna Jacques Hospital Cons: Front staff, nurses, doctors, wait time more
