If you miss an appointment for any reason including a blizzard they kick you out. They don't treat you as a patient, but as input into their computer system.

My journey with August Healthcare for Women began nearly two years ago when I received a positive…read morepregnancy test after two miscarriages and four years of unexplained infertility. At 37, I was overjoyed to see that long-awaited result. After reading many positive reviews, I chose August Healthcare because they offered the services I needed and accepted my insurance. My first appointment was at eight weeks, despite my high-risk circumstances, including being of advanced maternal age and overweight. The ultrasound revealed no heartbeat, and my progesterone levels were low. A midwife coldly told us that things like this often don't work out, and when we asked if anything could be done, she bluntly asked if I was upset. I held it together in the office but cried all the way home. My husband and I had been trying to conceive since we met, experiencing two miscarriages and four years of infertility. After finally getting pregnant again, we thought we had received a miracle. But the midwife's words crushed us, and we left feeling hopeless. Three months later, I became pregnant again. I contacted the clinic immediately, and though nothing showed on the ultrasound, my progesterone was low. I requested progesterone supplementation, and they prescribed it. Despite my age and weight, the pregnancy progressed without complications, and I was instructed to come in weekly for fetal non-stress tests due to my high-risk status. However, things became stressful. They told me if I paid $250 upfront, everything up through my child's birth would be covered, I later found out this wasn't true. Each week, I drove over three hours to the clinic, and the table was positioned far back, making the tests uncomfortable. One week, the baby's heart rate dipped twice, and I was sent to the hospital for monitoring. After two hours, everything was normal. I was reassured, though the uncertainty weighed heavily on me. The following week, there was another dip in the baby's heart rate, but the doctor dismissed it. Trusting the midwife, I agreed to an induction, even though my husband and I had previously doubted it. I didn't fully understand the risks, and I later learned inductions are often pushed because they're profitable, especially for women like me. I had been clear about avoiding a C-section, but my induction didn't go as planned. I arrived with no dilation or effacement, and my baby was in a "sunny-side-up" position. The odds of a successful vaginal birth were slim, but no one explained this to me. After three days of induction with little progress, I was 9 1/2 cm dilated when I was finally ready to push. The midwife and doctor weren't present for most of my labor, and when they arrived, they decided a C-section was necessary due to baby distress. I was unprepared and terrified. The C-section itself was quick, but when my son was born, there was an eerie silence. My husband later told me my son had inhaled meconium. Despite the trauma, I didn't get to hold my son for skin-to-skin contact, and none of the birth plan I had hoped for was honored. My son was fed through a tube for almost a week, and I later learned the heart rhythm they monitored was actually normal for a newborn. Induction, which was recommended to me, may have stressed his heart further. The hospital kept my son in the NICU for two weeks, claiming he wasn't eating enough, however they were only supposed to treat him for the meconium inhalation. He was a completely normal weight. The billing situation was another nightmare. Despite paying $250 upfront, I continued to receive bills for services I thought were covered. Even after signing up with a repayment agency, I received a letter from a collection agency about outstanding bills from August Medical Group. I'm sharing my story as a warning to others. If you can avoid this hospital or healthcare group, do so. While they may be suitable in emergencies, if you're having a healthy pregnancy, be cautious. Induction can lead to unexpected consequences, and you may not leave the hospital with the outcome you expected.

I've gone here for two of my pregnancies and both experiences were pretty good. My first pregnancy,…read morethey had told me my son was going to be IUGR and ended up sending me to UVA for a second opinion which wasn't a problem. I had Dr. McQuigg and McCown and they were amazing My second pregnancy, I had Dr. Suarez and it was a horrible visit. I had been going through the grieving process (my son unfortunately passed of SIDS) so she asked me about taking an antidepressant. I told her about one I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT TAKE because of my PAST EXPERIENCES leading me into reckless habits and suicidal thoughts eventually. She thought because it happened years ago to prescribe me again on it. That was my first and last visit with her and i ended up not taking my prescription because I felt like I was going back to my suicidal thoughts and becoming reckless. I don't regret that decision Thankfully I was switched to a better midwife, Dr. Bryant before I moved to the Harrisonburg location. But I do love this place and the staff is nice and amazing

The invoice was paid in full on November 10, 2025. After receiving invoices for the same amount in December and January, I emailed the office on January 14, 2026, to request a correction and provided verification of payment. It should have been a clue that it took 3 business days to receive the following response from A.B., a "Senior Billing Specialist," stating that my information had been forwarded for review. I was then asked, "Please allow some time for the review process." Fast forward six weeks to today, and nothing but crickets and two more unpaid invoices showing up in the mail

Problem is, I never asked for nor agreed to a purchase of Wellbel in October. I simply paid my co-pay. I'm pretty sure they legally cannot apply the co-payment made that day to any other purchase, but I was told that is exactly what happened by the first rep I spoke with. Additionally, my December 2nd billing statement shows I owe additional co-pay, which my insurance company advised me is false information. I don't think I can return to Forefront Dermatology with the billing in shambles like this; I shouldn't have to fight for accurate billing. I would attribute zero stars if possible.
