| - Visits with the gynecologist is an always delicate, sometimes retch-inducing and always uncomfortable experience. That said, when visit after visit you have nothing but positive experiences, the place definitely needs a shout out.
I go to New Horizon's for pregnancy/maternity care, and have had great experiences so far with all doctors and NPs I've met. How often do you go to practice that has several providers and you have great experiences with all of them? I was afraid that I wouldn't feel very taken care of with so much rotation, but each doctor focuses on you when you're there and I've never felt neglected.
Their approach seems to be more hands off, which I really appreciate since I want to treat a low-risk pregnancy as naturally as possible and take small aches and pains in my stride, rather than fuss about it. They might seem a bit dismissive to someone less inclined, but it put things in perspective for me.
They also seemed very supportive of natural birth, and the advice has always been on the side of reducing the incidences of Csections. None of the seemingly sympathetic nods followed by "but you should also know that I offer elective inductions if you are sick of it."
The front office staff are ALWAYS nice (another nice surprise - no grumpiness or snapping and I'd choose this place for that reason alone). There is an efficient pager system to move you from place to place and everyone, from the front office to the doctors and assistants to the lab and ultrasound people, are on top of what is happening. I didnt particularly care for the giant macs in each exam room.
The labs and ultrasounds are sharp on time, no waiting. I have waited for the doctors about 30-40 mins after being checked out by the assistants, which has has been irritating but these incidents are fewer than ones where I haven't had to wait much.
UPDATE: I had a great birth experience with the ONE doctor that I hadn't met since he was at a distant location. Overall, very recommended for people needing a no-fuss attitude.
