This was my first time seeing Dr.Dorothea since [staff] retired. She was absolutely phenomenal, listestened to all my concerns, explained everything in detail, I felt respected and heard. I pray she doesn't retire anytime soon because it's hard to feel comfortable with new OBGYN doctors. She is phenomenal and would recommend her to everyone.

Dottie is one of the loveliest nurses we've ever worked with and everyone at this office is so kind and caring. I've felt well treated and cared for before, during and after my pregnancy.

Dorothea was amazing!!! I work in women's health and have seen a TON of providers from gyn, midwives, MFM etc. And she was one of the best! She was so gentle and kind. The nurse who took care of me before hand was absolutely amazing too. Super up beat and thorough.

Dottie is the best obgyn I've seen, and though I am young and have only seen a few for birth control consultations, she has helped me navigate birth control with my mental health and my parents' concerns for me being on birth control. She is the sweetest, most respectful woman ever and I am so glad I've been able to continuously able to schedule with her. Additionally, she is very receptive to mychart messages, responding quickly and refilling prescriptions/sending routine orders for STD testing.

I waited in the waiting room for 20 minutes before being called back and, after the standard nurse checks, waited another ~15 min for the provider. I would appreciate faster appointments.

Dottie was great- I had been inquiring about a flu shot while pregnant and couldn't get clear answers from a few people. Dottie gave me a straight answer and helped me with my decision. She's also extremely friendly and made the visit feel so easy.
