Worst business ever. A friend of mine is a high risk pregnancy and woke up bleeding and cramping. When she called to come in they said they would make an appointment, when she showed up they "forgot" to schedule it and refused to see her, a 3 month pregnant woman who was bleeding out, and they refused to see her. They told her to go to the ER where she would have to wait for hours to be seen, instead of taking the ten minutes to do an ultra sound there. Terrible people.

Only thing I didn't like was the fact I had an appt and showed up on time and still had to wait 15 minutes till my name was called -other than that I love their gyn care! I was a nervous wreck going in for my first Pelvic Exam but Linda Ottl, ARNP was professional, gentle, and kind. So glad I chose this place. I've read plenty of good and bad reviews about this place and others but honestly, sometimes you have to step out in good faith... You won't always be let down; regardless of what experiences others may have had.

I have been a patient of Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates for the past six years and through two pregnancies both requiring c-sections. Dr baron and Dr. Arnold are the primary doctors that I have seen, but I have had a positive experience with each doctor and staff member. Each doctor and the nurse practitioner has treated me with kindness and I feel that they know me and I am not just a number. The staff has always been kind and efficient. I have not had to wait more than 20 minutes for any visit and I am usually early anyway so my "wait" probably wasn't even that long. When I had any complication they have been very quick to contact me and get testing and handle the issue. They listen to what I say and respond without placating or humoring me. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

I have had nothing but great experiences with the doctors of OBGYN Associates. Especially with Dr. Arnold. I went to them for my first pregnancy and am seeing them again for my second. I recommend them to any friends who ask for a good OB. The staff and doctors have always been patient and caring. Sometimes the wait can be long, but that just goes to show how many women trust them (the office is usually packed!). I've never had a negative experience right up to my c-section delivery. On top of it all, these doctors never use the word "fetus" (I am opposed to dehumanizing unborn children). I always get prompt, accurate responses. All the doctors are friendly and never disrespect me or my spouse in any way. Frankly, I can't say enough about the staff there. Just know I believe them to be the best in the area and would not see anyone else for my OB needs.

I was only seen at this office 2x. I decided to transfer to another Obgyn b/c rules didn't appear to be followed by this office accept for long wait times. 1st of all there was a sign infront of the office that said no smoking and guess what? One of the office staff was sitting there smoking. Keep in mind the smoking wouldnt have been so bad if I werent PREGNANT. 2nd I was given wrong info 2x. 1st was for the time frame of releasing medical records to the new doctor whom I transfered care to, and 2nd was when I was told they'd fax the medical records when infact they dont fax records unless it is to and out of state doctor. Also when you leave them a message it has a recording "if message is left before a 12pm they call back same day" that doesnt happen. A manager is never available to speak to about unresolved issues. So I left feedback on their central office email. Then because of the feedback I was told by the manager he was glad I transfered care to another OBGYN provider.
