I'm so happy to finally have found a uro/GYN who "gets it" regarding my diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) and OAB. At our first visit at the Erie office, Dr. McNamara listened attentively and was respectful and validating about my questions and concerns, as well as being friendly and caring. Unlike the office that I'd previously sought care with, he didn't suggest to me, "Don't define yourself by your illness" (and that from a female, albeit a young one - may she never be diagnosed with this painful condition). In contrast, Dr. McNamara understands my efforts at being informed and proactive. I've never been one to play my "tiny violin," and am a survivor/thriver of breast CA who has otherwise been active and healthy my entire life. Suddenly developing an issue with chronic pain was something I'd never dealt with before, and that threw me for quite a loop. I now feel like I have a provider who really understands how debilitating this condition can potentially be. Our first visit was a very thorough one, and I left there feeling like I wasn't being discounted or dismissed. I can't tell you how much that means for someone managing a painful diagnosis that can be difficult to treat, and I feel like I'm now finally in good hands. Dr. McNamara was recommended to me by a provider at my primary's office, and I'm so glad I took his advice to go see him. I will say that the Erie front desk staff is a lot more pleasant than the Boulder front desk. I echo the reviews of others that the front desk at the Boulder office leaves a LOT to be desired. No smiles, very curt, seem like they really don't want to be there. I seem to remember this from a past visit years ago and a less-than-desirable experience with all kinds of miscommunication with nurses when an MD was out on an unexpectedly lengthy family emergency leave. I had my primary take over my basic Rx for estradiol at that point, which was the only reason I was being seen by them, but gave them another chance when Dr. McNamara was recently recommended for this current issue. So glad I did. I can overlook the borderline rude front desk staff just to see him. Also, MA Katie (I think that was her name) was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, because of the front desk staff, I'd be hesitant to go there as a first-time parent. You want a more caring experience from the very first moment you call and step in the office waiting room to the time you deliver and beyond, and that includes the front desk. But as far as Dr. McNamara and his assistant, I've had an excellent experience going to BWC. read more

I have gone to BWC for 20 years and the care has declined over time. The nurses won't return my calls and the doctors don't respond for several days. It seems like they are just too busy to care. It used to be such a caring place, now it's mechanical and uncaring. So disappointing. read more

Just don't get a hysterectomy here. They'll almost kill you, have you in hospital for a month, and absolutely, positively ruin the rest of your life. Oh! But they'll pay the resulting hospital bills; just not the ones for the doctor who butchered you. Then they'll transfer her (above-mentioned doctor) away to another hospital in Boulder County. Didn't listen to my concerns. Ended up with three drains and life-long complications. "Simple" hysterectomy? Well, it started out that way... a month later I was finished with my hospital stay. A year later I was able to walk normally. Almost three years later I am still paying the price for this butchering. read more

Boulder Women's Care - Anterior post-hysterectomy - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

See all

Believe the other reviews. I tried to keep an open mind because I really wanted to deliver in Boulder where I had my son years ago. The office here is terrible and the staff was rude, burnt out and indifferent. Not reassuring, helpful, or kind. Not the face of a practice you want to be involved with. I love how offices make excuses about industry wide staff shortages as a reason to be unhelpful and rude. Just get your act together if you want to be part of one of the biggest moments in a woman's life. Waited weeks to get scheduled and gave up. read more

If you can't handle reading about women's bodies, don't continue because I'm very clear in this review - that means sharing some details. 12/24/19 - I felt my vulva was a bit sore. Since I did not have yeast infection or uti symptoms but did have a low fever I thought being seen might be a thing if it worsened. 12/26/19 - I called and was told I needed go through a nurse - left a message sharing my symptoms in detail, and giving name + contact information twice. Waited for 5 hours; finally I called back and was directed to leave another message. She called me back giggling that she had written down my contact information incorrectly. She then talked over me and didn't listen to my symptoms - she kept saying, "Since you don't have a fever." Had to correct her more than 3 times. She then didn't get back to me until 7pm and exasperatingly told me I needed to be seen, call back the next morning. She said she thought I may have "over exercised." With a fever? I don't have a medical degree but . . . no. 12/27/19 - I called the next day and was offered an appointment on 1/31/2020. Cried and pleaded for something sooner; was offered an appointment on 1/13/2020 = discomfort for 17 more days! 12/29/19 - Fever, pain, and swelling got worse so I went to urgent care. Because of the severity of my swelling and pain and the doctor not being a GYN they didn't do a full exam; sent out samples for 3 infections that my symptoms partially matched with. I had to be seen by a male doctor I had no care established with and answered difficult questions about my sexual history, any probability my husband was cheating on me, etc. The urgent care doctor suggested I follow up with my GYN and prescribed an antibiotic. 12/30/19 Morning - I called Boulder Women's, specifically asked to speak to the Clinic Manager. She did not pick up the phone; I left her a tearful message telling her my symptoms, asking if it really was the case that patients with emergent symptoms can't be seen within a few days. I asked for a call back but didn't receive one. 12/31/19 Morning - Called Boulder Women's again to speak to the Clinic Manager. She admitted she hadn't listened to my message. I explained my situation again, highlighting that a full exam had not been performed and that the antibiotic I had been given was a guess. I was clear - my symptoms had not abated including a fever that was now 101-102 . She advised I keep my appointment on 1/13. She said she'd speak to the nurse who had lost my contact information and delayed care. I wish she had said, "Since you are still not feeling well, would you like to speak to someone about your symptoms today so we can assess if you need more care?" She instead, hurried me off the phone and seemed flustered. 12/31/19 Evening - my fever reached 103; returned to Urgent Care. Another male doctor who didn't have my medical history. My lab results showed the infections they were treating on 12/29 tested negative. He added 2 more antibiotics and urged me to follow up with my GYN. I wept. I was still in extreme pain so I wrote a message to my Primary Care Physician and explained my situation and asked if I should be seen. She got me in on 1/2. 1/2/2020 My Primary Care performed a full exam remarking that my swelling was so bad she couldn't imagine how I drove there. I told her my pain and swelling were BETTER. She found evidence of a vaginal abscess and said I needed to be seen by a GYN. She expressed she was horrified at what I had experienced and hoped she could call them and talk them into seeing me on the following Monday. 1/6/2020 My Primary Care called Boulder Women's Care. She described their response as unhelpful, giving attitude, and not responsive to a need to be seen in time. She called and said, "I had Boulder Women's put you in for 1/9 but I can get you in somewhere else today. Would you go?" I agreed. The new-to-me GYN ordered an ultrasound at 1:30 then saw me for a full exam at 2pm. That. Day. They confirmed they saw evidence of a healing abscess and removed 1 antibiotic and told me how to finish out my other 2. They also told me, "If you had waited until 1/13 to be seen and not gone to Urgent Care you could easily have become sceptic and been hospitalized or died. Your fevers were already very high." As they explained to me, many women are embarrassed to discuss these symptoms with male doctors or minimize/don't persist in going back when their symptoms get worse. This is why you should be able to get or coordinate care with your GYN that you have a relationship with. I transferred my records to the new GYN. Not only did this practice refuse to give me care/help me get care, the clinic manager failed me. When we spoke again she passed blame to others, cried, and did not apologize or offer to help. I also was in touch with her manager at BCH who failed to call me for A MONTH despite several opportunities to talk. It seems neither BCH nor BWC were able to care for me as a priority. read more

I am a 70+ yo women so I have been to many gynecologists and their offices. I would recommend this office to anyone of any age. The office is quiet personable and takes care of you in a friendly efficient way. The office does not act institutional but caring. The office take insurance including medicare. My doctor, Ruth Weinberg handled my issues and questions way beyond any other Dr I have gone to. This is an office that addresses the problems of women of all ages, while being caring and homey. read more

I absolutely adore all the doctors at Boulder Women's Care!! Most recently I saw Brenda Price for a large hemorrhagic ovarian cyst and she was very patient, kind, and informative. She worked with me to avoid surgery. Moreover, The office was very accommodating and I was always able to easily get scheduled for follow up ultrasounds and appointments (In fact, they got me in right away when I first called with symptoms). Kerry Shea put in my IUD 3 years ago. It was my second time having one placed and she was super fast making the experience so much easier/less painful than the first one I had placed elsewhere. If you've had an IUD placed you know what I mean... Kerry's hands and skills were made for placing IUDs!!! Lisa Jamroz saw me for a problem visit and she was a fantastic listener! She heard and addressed all my concerns in a professional and understanding way! She is so incredibly empathetic and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Theses docs are in a speciality that requires them to be pulled away suddenly for deliveries and/or emergencies- but I have always felt that I can get an appointment when I need it, I have always been seen in a reasonable amount of time, and the care I received is optimal! I trust these docs and would recommend them to all of my friends/family!! read more

Exceptional care! The professionalism, knowledge, patience, and bedside manner demonstrated by Dr. Revoal is commendable. Dr. Revoal's outstanding efforts,and the exceptional patient care that she provided, are a great asset to patients and Boulder Women's Care. Special thanks to Nurse Lori, for her exceptional care as well. Thank you! read more

Tl;dr - If you're considering using BWC for prenatal "care" (or lack thereof) RUN don't walk away. Don't let them ruin your life like they ruined mine. The negligence and incompetence displayed by the obgyns, ultrasound technicians, and staff at this office caused extreme trauma to myself and my family. I may never recover, so the best I can do is ensure that no one else chooses them for their prenatal needs and has to go through what I did. I'll begin with the most egregious malpractice, which occurred at my 20 week anatomy scan, though I believe their negligence started far earlier. The ultrasound technician noted a two vessel umbilical cord. Thank god she at least had a half a brain to recognize that much. Later, we would discover that our son had a severe congenital heart defect that absolutely should have been visible on this scan. She saw a bit of his heart but he wasn't positioned to see it too well, nor was she able to see the face. Instead of asking me to walk around, drink something, do jumping jacks, or do anything else to make him move, she gave up after about 2 minutes. This would be negligent in any scenario, but especially when the umbilical cord anomaly was already observed. This umbilical cord issue is strongly associated with heart defects, cleft palate, and chromosomal anomalies (something like 17x increased risk). By not bothering to look at the heart or face, she was effectively robbing us of much of the point of the scan. Next, we met with Melissa Kushlak to discuss the findings (I won't call her Dr. because she shouldn't be one). She mentioned the umbilical cord issue but didn't tell us anything about it (e.g. that it was associated with larger defects) and said that we should schedule a fetal echocardiogram in 2-4 weeks to get a closer look at the heart. What she should have done was tell us to schedule this heart scan immediately, and used her authority to book us that appointment ASAP. My gut told me something was wrong, so I tried to get it scheduled as soon as possible, but the staff was too incompetent to get the referral faxed, which led to a 4 week delay until I was able to be seen for the echo. At the fetal echo, it was discovered that our son had a rare and severe congenital heart defect. The pediatric cardiologist who did the scan was absolutely FLOORED that we hadn't been told to get the echo immediately after the anatomy scan. She used her authority to get us an appointment an hour later for a more detailed scan, amniocentesis, and genetic counseling. We received the amniocentesis results 3 weeks later, which indicated that our baby had a chromosomal abnormality that made the heart defect just the tip of the iceberg. My baby has no chance of a normal life, if he doesn't pass in utero or within the first year of life. Given this knowledge, instead of allowing him and us to suffer more, we've decided to interrupt the pregnancy (TFMR) at 28 weeks gestation. Had BWC done their job, we would be doing this months earlier, significantly decreasing the trauma of the situation. At this point I've been feeling him kick for months and have had all that additional time to bond. Further, if we had been able to interrupt the pregnancy at or prior to 24 weeks, we could have done so in a hospital, a far more comforting atmosphere. Instead we're using one of four clinics in the country who will do the procedure this late. If that clinic wasn't located in Boulder, we would have been forced to travel out of state. Looking back even further, I was never offered a nuchal translucency screening, which is recommended for all pregnant women, and would have picked up on this severe birth defect as early as 11 weeks. Nor was I offered amniocentesis or CVS (though to be fair I likely would have declined this in the absence of other risk factors). In conclusion, BWC is at best staffed by completely incompetent morons and at worst guilty of malpractice. read more

Whilst I love Dr Jamroz, trying to get in to see her is comical. I called the first week in January for my annual check up. Nothing available in the first 3 months - told to call back in February to make appt for April onwards. Did that and was told May 1st was first available. Due to timing conflict I callled today to reschedule - earliest is now August although that can't be booked yet. So looks like an annual check up is out for this year as at this point it will be back to back with next years! Not sure how my insurance company will feel about 2 annual check ups within 6 months of each other! read more

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Boulder Women's Care. From dealing with them on the phone to visiting in the office, each encounter has been frustrating to infuriating. I'm glad someone else had a good experience with Catherine Fries but when I saw her I found her to be patronizing and dismissive of my concerns and uninformed about recent studies. My choice to visit BWC was largely based on location, convenience, and that I prefer my lady parts to be attended to by lady doctors, but I will happily drive to Denver for appointments now rather than return to BWC. read more

Terrible communication. I requested a specific doctor and was put on a wait list. Being waitlisted was totally fine, but after about a month I learned they had put me on the wrong wait list. They said the doctor I wanted to see was still accepting new patients, but again, I'd have to be on a wait list. I get a call after another month or so to make an official appointment. I was told that the doctor I had been all of that time waiting to see "wasn't taking new patients" I would have been much happier knowing that earlier. That was irritating, but it happens. I made an appointment with someone else. For some reason she changed my birth control without even warning me. I said I liked the pill was on, so I have no idea why she did it. The side effects are not great. I'm breaking out as if I am 15 again. It is not fun. I've called to at least try to get an explanation/get put back on my previous pill, but no one has called me back. I wish I could say this was the first unfortunate experience I've had here, but it is not. My advice- go to planned parenthood. They seem to care a lot more there read more

My wife and I signed up with Boulder Nurse Midwives (a subsidiary of Boulder Women's Care) to deliver our first baby. Unfortunately we they informed us in September that they were shutting down before our baby is due, apparently because the Nurse Midwives were unhappy with how much they were being paid! We are very upset about having been left in the lurch like this, with the baby's due date imminent. I would not recommend using Boulder Nurse Midwives, Boulder Women's Care, or any of the midwives from that practice (Merrilynn Artman, Kala Kluender, Sarit Schneider, Nicole Lassiter, Susan Mitchell, Erin Crawley, Lindsey Rudolph), or any birth center that would hire them. To top it all off, they are now refusing to refund us the money that we prepaid for the delivery of our baby. read more

I would actually give them 0 stars, if it were an option. The last appointment that I had was to have a biopsy done, and the doctor actually cut my THIGH trying to get to my lady parts... Mind you, I am not a large or overweight person, and my legs were in the stirrups. Her reaction? To laugh and tell me that I got "the drunk doctor" and then quickly told me that it was a joke. This is the same doctor that my friend nearly sued after a undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy rupture! After the biopsy, as we were discussing next steps, she told me that even if the biopsy came back negative, it would be "no big deal" because I already have a lot of kids, so it would be no big deal... First of all, I may NOT be done having kids, and it was completely unprofessional for her to make such an assumption (especially since she has no children of her own). They have NEVER seen me within 15 minutes of my scheduled appointment, yet, they have a sign in the lobby letting you know if you are 10 or 15 minutes late, you will be charged for your appointment AND will have to reschedule. I have waited over an HOUR past my appointment time to see my doctor for my annual exam. I guess their time is more valuable than mine. And never mind the entire front desk staff that obviously hate their jobs. Rude. Never smile. Do not even attempt to ask them a question. They also must have so much business that they can tell a patient that they no longer want their business. I did not realize that my insurance did not cover all of that appointment that I referenced above. I cannot find one piece of mail, and never received a phone call to notify me that I owed them $64... So, yes, over $64, they sent me to collections and sent me a letter stating that they no longer wish to provide me care. GOOD RIDDANCE. I have been actively seeking a new provider anyway. There are way better practices out there. read more

I just delivered my third child with Boulder Women's Care at BCH Foothills, and thus a review is long overdue. Dr. Shea delivered my most recent baby, and she was nothing short of amazing during labor and delivery. I went into labor 6 weeks early, so things could have been complicated, however, Dr. Shea handled it with grace and expertise for an extremely smooth, problem-free, and fast delivery. I couldn't be more grateful for Boulder Women's Care for taking such great care of me during three pregnancies and helping our three healthy babies enter into the world. read more

It's hard to rate a doctor's office; it's not the kind of thing you look forward to. When I did my Yelp check-in, I was already wishing I was somewhere else. With that said, I've spent a lot of time here - I've been a patient for a couple of years and Dr Price and Dr Shea at BWC delivered one of my kids. All of the doctors are professional, patient, and kind, and a couple of them are even downright funny. After my c-section they put me back together just right, so I guess I can't complain! There are a few of areas where they can certainly stand to improve: -some of the nurses are super-helpful while others seem to be grumpy all the time. they could really stand to lose the grumps. -I'm not a huge fan of their nurse practitioner and I didn't like the fact that she was part of the prenatal appointment rotation. I would have liked more time to get to know the doctors since one of them was going to be delivering my baby. -the wait times are sometimes ridiculous even though they want you there 15 min early. -I saw the last time I was at their office that they now have a location in Broomfield but I don't see it on their webpage anywhere. Their website seems to be rather out-of-date. read more

If I could give a negative rating I absolutely would. I had my child in 2016 and it has taken me a long time to find the words to describe how awful this place is. I had numerous cancelled prenatal visits. After I requested to receive confirmation calls to ensure my appointments would not be cancelled they said they couldn't do confirmation calls. The grand finale was delivering my child. It was a long labor and which ended in a c-section which I was prepared for but was hoping to avoid. Kim Wendell was my midwife while in labor and first told me I was failing to progress. Brenda Price came in to preform the c-section and told me that "sometimes babies are too big." My child was 8lbs, not too big. Later at my 6 week appointment I asked Brenda Price why I had to have a c-section as I thought the two reasons they gave me in the hospital were conflicting. She told me, "fetal heart rate distress," and quickly left the room. I called the office later that day to revisit this with Kim and I asked her again why I had to have a c-section. Kim told me it was because my child failed to descend. I asked her why I received the other answers from Brenda Price and she told me, "Well we have about 5 reasons to choose from of why people have to have a c-section, Brenda probably just didn't have time to look at your chart and told you one of the reasons." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT IS HER JOB!!!! To top this all off, feeling incredibly disappointed in trusting these idiotic "doctors" I am now left with a huge bulge on the right side of my scar. I have met several other women who have the same bulge on the right side who have had a c-section by Brenda Price. This is because Brenda Price is too lazy to close the scarpas fascia on the right side. After seeing several doctors about this bulge thinking I had a hernia they said it would have been a two minute procedure to close the fascia and it will cost $10,000 to fix. I now look like I have a hernia and puckering on the right side of my scar. My recommendation is to stay far away from this practice. They are the only practice that can deliver at BCH and they are far too busy to handle actually caring about the patients that put so much trust into them. It's a huge life changing day to deliver your baby, make sure you have doctors that care about you to help you do that. read more

When it's that time of the year to put your legs up, I have found that the ladies at Boulder Women's Care are top notch. Their entire staff takes great care of you whether you are there for a routine annual exam or to handle your pregnancy. I was referred by another doctor to see Mako Shimoda for a procedure and she was fantastic. Since then I've had nearly all of my appointments with Catherine Fries who is very relaxed and easy to talk to. They are located just off of Foothills Pkwy & Arapahoe so it's convenient to get to whether you live in Boulder or the northwest Denver suburbs. Keep in mind that if you are more than 15 mins late for your appointment you have to reschedule :) read more

I had a very poor experience with Dr. Shea. After a few normal, if somewhat rushed, visits with her to establish care, I began to develop severe abdominal pain (which I now know is endometriosis). This is when I started to have problems with her, the most significant of which are: - ignoring my complaints of pain for several visits. - removing an ovary unnecessarily (something she admitted afterward). - giving me very little information on my new diagnosis of endometriosis, not even deigning to tell me what stage I have. - when I began to develop the same problem with my remaining ovary a month after surgery, she thought it best to use the same wait-and-see approach that led to my first surgery. Once I started to voice my dissatisfaction with her care, her and her office became incredibly difficult to contact. I switched doctors and am doing much better with a new treatment plan. I would never recommend Dr. Shea to anyone. I am 19 and am now uncertain if I will be able to have kids in the future. read more

My care here had been nothing short of wonderful! Dr. Jamroz is kind, skilled, attentive, and very thorough. The rest of the staff are kind and upbeat as well. The offices feel clean and organized. We will definitely be having our baby here when the time comes! read more

Please, do not go here for your care! If I could give zero stars I would. To summarize, the front desk staff is rude and unprofessional and the medical staff are subpar. * Front desk staff didn't acknowledge me, say good morning, or ask how they could help when I arrived. * While I was waiting I could hear the front desk staff women talk about how drunk they got the night before. * One front desk staff member loudly asked my son if he was "excited to be a big brother." Not only had we not told him I was pregnant yet, we also just found out our pregnancy might not be viable and he wasn't going to be a big brother. * Pregnancy was not confirmed with urine HCG prior to ultrasound * None of the standard blood work was done (hCG, blood type, progesterone, etc) * During first appointment with the nurse she acted like there was no protocol on what to do with a patient who had an abnormal ultrasound. She didn't know what to do with us and basically sent us back to the waiting room with no compassion. Only adding to the stigma of miscarriage. * I was weighed twice during the same appointment because there was no consistency or communication between providers. * The doctor couldn't give us a better answer than her "gut" told her it probably wasn't viable. No statistics on our potential outcome. We were not offered serial hCGs. * After leaving the next ultrasound where I was told there was no longer a heartbeat (and was very upset) I was waiting in the waiting room to talk to the doctor when the front desk staff woman called me up to give me a "pregnancy packet" that detailed future appointments and how to register online for delivery. She was horrified when I started crying and told her I was having a miscarriage. Again making me feel like a complete outlier. * After being prescribed the medication to induce a miscarriage the physician told me I would get a call following up to see if it was successful and to help determine the next step. I never got a call or follow up. * When I called and spoke to a nurse about sever bleeding and cramping nearly a week after taking the medication she said she would call me back after looking at my file. Another nurse called me back three hours later and told me it was normal. I was not treated with with any amount of respect, compassion, or care. read more

Like a previous reviewer, I am also baffled by all the terrible reviews I've read on this site about Boulder Womens Care. I am wondering if those women saw a doctor who is no longer with the practice? A few doctors have left since I started going to BWC about 6 years ago. Dr. Price delivered both of my kids and I have had nothing but great experiences with her and the practice! read more

I'm pretty shocked to see such bad reviews on this practice because I have always had a pleasant experience with them. Dr. Revoal is absolutely amazing and has such a fun and spirited personality. It was Dr. Jamroz who tended to the delivery of my baby and her calm presence was exactly what I needed during nearly 40 hours of labor. I've also seen Dr. Dunn and Dr. Shea and I enjoy them both as well! read more

I really like my doctor, but the office staff is rude and completely unprofessional. They treat patients like dirt. At this point, I'm done. Time to find another doctor. read more

I called the clinic in a panic when I was experiencing bad cramping. I was shocked that I was able to get right in. I saw Paige Swales and she was amazing. Usually, when you get a last minute appointment, you don't always get the greatest physician but this was not the case at all! She listened to all my fears and symptoms and got right to work with her very thorough exam. She talked me through everything and explained the next steps. She was compassionate and in leaving the clinic, I mentally felt a lot better about things. read more

If I could give a negative review, I would. I now know 10, YES - TEN women who have left Boulder Women's Care or Boulder Nurse Midwives for very similar reasons - some even more severe, like a botched C-section. Do yourself, your body and your baby a favor - go elsewhere!! read more

Alice Gray was the straw that broke the camel's back. There are a couple doctors and nurses at this practice that I have had a wonderful experience with. Other than that, I have had a multitude of horrible experiences. My list of complaints: Having multiple staff members ask how far along I am because they didn't look at their paperwork and realize I had a miscarriage Being prescribed medicine I was allergic to directly after telling the doctor I was allergic to it. A front desk staff that talks about patient info loud enough for the whole waiting room to hear it, and yells across the room to ask if your insurance is still the same. Also, I have watched the front desk staff leave patient after patient standing there with no greeting and no indication of if they need to fill something out or if they can sit down after they sign in. Inconsistent billing for the same services Being recommended services but not explained, even after asking several different ways, what the reason for them would be for yet another expensive add on. And most recently going in for an office visit with Alice Gray and having her say she didn't want to "waste her time" performing a service I had asked for when I called to make the appointment and reiterated to the nurse I saw before the doctor came in... after re-scheduling because my appointment was cancelled after a doctor was called away from surgery the previous week. She also charged almost $400 for an appointment that normally gets billed at $127... probably because of her precious time, which was only really "wasted" because we had to go back and forth about what I wanted done even though I had been clear from the beginning. She had zero bedside manor and has been the only doctor at the practice to bring me to tears as a result of her lack of compassion and communication style that incorporates scare tactics into lacking explanations. ALICE GRAY does not represent to me a doctor that truly cares about patients, and seems much more concerned with her time and paycheck. read more

My regular GYN does not work at this hospital, and I wanted to give birth in Boulder (I, as well as my mom, are Boulder natives). Several of the OB's that worked with my aunt during her pregnancy and birth of my cousin work in this office. The nurses here are great! Every nurse I dealt with was friendly and fully answered any questions I had. During my first appointment we saw one of the nurses that didn't seem to understand their genetic testing options, though I never saw her again. This office has multiple OBs and a few midwives. They will schedule you with a different doctor/midwife for each appointment so you can meet them all. When you go into labor, whoever is on call will be the one to deliver your baby. The doctors are somewhat distant on the first visit, but warm up the more you see the same one. My birth went fantastic and Dr. Jamrose that delivered my baby did a great job. They followed my birth plan and explained everything to my husband and I through the process. Jessica, one of the labor and delivery nurses, was wonderful! The first thing she said to me was 'I read your birth plan, and see that you want to do it all natural, and I'm going to do whatever you need to accomplish that.' She brought me aromatherapy lavender scents for the bath tub, as well as warmed blankets and towels! She was great!! The billing process, and front desk staff are mostly awful. If this the office you choose to deal with, be aware that they will set you up with a payment plan on your first visit. It is an ESTIMATE. Read the fine print. They also do not send out paper statements each month. Your insurance benefits are not explained to you for each test (i.e. the genetic testing, vaccines, ultrasounds, NSTs). Nor do they really give you a chance to find out before asking if you want the test or not. It made me feel like I'll do anything if it's in the best interest of the baby, whether it's really needed or not. At each appointment, they will tell you the balance of your account and expect payment. Often times, it's the monthly amount on your payment plan and whatever tests were not covered by insurance. Most girls at the front desk will then ask you when you are going to pay it, because they need to tell billing something. Will you call in, because it all needs to be paid by the end of the month. At one appointment, I was told my balance was around $700, and they expected me to pay it without warning. That is incredibly frustrating for me. Then if I didn't want to pay it all (just the monthly amount that I was expecting to pay), they had the typical Boulder attitude of 'What are you doing here if you can't afford to pay?' regardless of if I COULD pay or not. Just because I didn't want to pay what I wasn't expecting, certainly didn't mean I COULDN'T pay it. Being in Boulder, you expect that. There was a younger, possibly Asian, girl at the front desk that was always very nice. Their contracted amount for a birth with your insurance company, from what I was told, covers a natural birth with 2 days in the hospital. I just received the first statement from them since giving birth (which they had to send because I moved out of state), has an additional $385 charge for my birth, though we left the hospital after one day. Your payment plan does not cover any hospital charges, for any time spent in the hospital. Expect an additional bill for pediatrician visits and hospital charges. This statement also has a charge for a flu vaccine, that I thought insurance was covering. Anything to do with billing is very poorly done, or explained, at this office. It is also nearly impossible to contact anyone in their billing department with their automated system. Better off calling the front desk, if you can get through to them, and asking to be transferred. The woman that sets appointments is nice most of the time, but can get a bit snotty. Don't expect a reminder call for each appointment. Sometimes I would get one, sometimes I wouldn't. Their ultrasound techs were always really nice, and helpful. They explained everything they were seeing. Of course, liability says they can't give their opinion on anything. Make sure you ask at your appointment what all the ultrasound numbers say. What percentile the baby is in for head, abdomen, and femur measurements, as well as amniotic fluid and what they compare to your other ultrasounds. Some doctors will share this and others won't unless you ask. The doctors and nurses are good at getting back to you, even if it's the middle of the night with any concerns you have. Though I feel if they spent a little more time during the appointments explaining what to expect I wouldn't have needed to call. It was a little annoying that whenever I had questions about activities that were safe during pregnancy their answer was always 'If you have any concern, it's better to not do it.' Obviously, they have to have that answer for liability reasons. read more

As so many other reviews say, I would offer up 0 stars if it were an option! I have been here 3 times. The first was a follow up to an urgent care visit... The woman who answered the phone and scheduled the appointment was unbelievably rude and almost hostile towards me... When I told her the urgent care dr. Had recommended that I be seen within a week her exact response was " that literally makes no difference, you can take the appointment I offered or go somewhere else. " you can imagine how shocked I was! My second experience was ok, although the dr. Seemed very preoccupied like she wanted to be somewhere else, and not extremely knowledgeable... She was nice and personable though. My third visit was the nail in the coffin! I am now pregnant! Finally!!!! I had a problem and needed an emergent appointment, the nurse on the phone was WONDERFUL. After explaining what I was going through she said I needed to get labs done and have an ultra sound right away! She instructed me to go to the lab first so they could be looked at while I was getting the ultra sound. I showed up an hour early to get the labs done and the lab has no record of me needing them so they ask me for the phone number to women's care?!?!?!!! What kind of hospital as a whole does not have phone numbers or extensions for other departments?!?!?!!! Womens care says they don't need labs and to send me up. I go to the office, minutes after they got off the phone with the lab, answering questions about me, they ask who are you? I say my name a second time and tell them I have an appointment for an ultra sound. " no you don't " is the response I got. Followed by " have you ever been here before? " yes! I was here on friday, just 3 days ago! " you don't have an appointment today " I then had to explain why I was there and that I needed an ultra sound. She finally found my stuff, I then waited 20 mins past my appointment, no big deal but kind of annoying when I was there so early to take labs that I was told didn't need to be taken. The ultra sound tech was nice and made me very comfortable, however I was told the dr. Would call me with results to the ultra sound and the labs ( that I DID need taken ) I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DR!!!!!! And it is 12 hours later and 11:00 pm and here I am left WONDERING about the health and safety of my baby!!!!!! read more

I have nothing but nice things to say about Dr shimoda and Dr jamroz, and also the midwives are good, but I dont like the others very much, particularly Dr Price and the front desk people. The attitudes generally suck. If I'm ever pregnant again I'm going somewhere else since I cant choose Dr Jamroz or the midwives exclusively. Meanwhile I'm venturing back to my previous obgyn. Read my previous review of this place to get more details. read more

I am amazed after all these reviews they haven't changed their ways! I called on the phone and had such an awful experience, I literally asked her: do you NOT want me as a patient bc you are making this very difficult! Tracey was her name and she was horrendous! I actually sought an alternative. read more

I'm new to the area and looking for an OB/GYN and after only one call with their front desk person, I've decided this is not the practice for me. Extremely rude and unprofessional. It's too bad because I've heard great things about their nurses but when the front desk person is unfriendly it just set a very bad tone for what should be a great experience and relationship. read more

I see Dr. Price at Boulder Women's Care she is everything I could want in a doctor. She's a straight-shooter, compassionate, a good listener, intelligent, and I adore her. She has helped me through a lot of experiences and I trust her and like her as a person. Two thumbs up! read more

They treat you like a number and make numerous mistakes based on not paying attention to detail, and not caring enough to be thorough. Dr Price is most guilty of this, but it starts with midwife Paige who gave me way too high of a Thyroid medicine dosage to start off with. I had to tell them each time I went in what my situation was due to their not reading my charts fully or them not being able to read each other's handwriting (hello use a computer!) I had to beg and fight numerous times to have a culture done or my urine tested as every time they wanted to say it's just a yeast infection (when no, it never was and I told them all I don't get those, I get BV). Dr. Jamrose even rushed me out of an appointment where I was asking to have a culture done as "that wasn't what my appointment was for" which, uuuum yes it's my Vagina and it was a check up, hello (I had to book with my regular doctor to prove that ya I had a UTI!) Dr. Jamrose is the only who had a good reputation Among my doctor, natropath, prenatal massage therapist and mom's yoga class. They all said don't go to BWC but I didn't listen as they were close to me. They all say the birthing center is pretty good, but how when they mess up so much in the prenatal care? BWC more recently have screwed up on continuing my mandatory thyroid medicine, refilling it on time and in the right amount. For 3.5 months it felt like it was my Job to make them all do their jobs correctly and at 22 weeks I have left them because I do not trust any of them to be on the ball or to be thorough if I were to give birth a foothills hospital, especially. It if I needed a C-section or had a problem. I'm switching to Longspeak Hospital where they also take Medicaid and I haven't heard one bad report. I still trust Jamrose, but you can't be sure which doctor is on call when you give birth so I won't be staying in Boulder read more

My care with this practice has been excellent and responsive! There has been excellent follow-up whenever I've had a concern, and the staff went above and beyond to help me schedule my 1st trimester testing quickly before the window to complete it had closed. While working with this practice I felt safe and also confident that I could at least try for the type of delivery I desired (non-medicated). Unfortunately my insurance has changed to Kaiser which won't cover my care going forward. I feel so strongly that I love working with this practice that I will be looking into options for making a change to my insurance so that I can continue my care with them. Some complaints I see here are actually for Boulder Nurse Midwives, which was a separate practice from Boulder Women's Care. The practices were affiliated but are not the same thing. read more

Dr. Lisa Jamroz and her associates have delivered three children for our family and we have been so grateful to have been in their care. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the doctors are very knowledgeable about their field and every question was always treated with the gravity and speed a pregnant woman needs when she is unsure on anything. I am humbled by the privilege of having had them to guide me through the amazing experience of pregnancies. read more

I was a patient here for several years. I watched the office go down hill. The front office is a mess, the scheduling is ridiculous, and overall the treatment from nurses and docs is sub par at best. The straw that broke my back was when I was urged to have unnecessary surgery that vitally changed my body forever. Doctors should refer you to specialists when they don't know the best avenue for treatment. They didn't and I paid the price. I've met several ladies who've shared their nightmare stories with me, and I can't believe that still so many people go there. Not many people know of the other Ob/gyn practice in Foothills that's located on the second floor. They are amazing and caring and careful--I highly recommend them over this unorganized and unprofessional office. read more

My experience here is really mixed. I received mostly great prenatal care. Dr. Lisa Jamroz always took a lot of time to answer my questions. She also seemed to have thoroughly read my chart before the appointments and would check on various issues I had had throughout the pregnancy. I appreciated that attention and care. I also liked Dr. Alana Revoal and Dr. Brenda Price and Kim Windels. The front desk staff are great in my opinion--they balance the schedules well, considering I think the practice tends to overbook. They also always remember my name. I had an issue with Paige Swales. In one appointment, she told me I was on the high end of weight gain and to not eat a whole cheesecake over the weekend (I gained 30 pounds total with my 40+ week pregnancy). Then she suggested I was disinterested in my child because I did not have a guess at the sex (we were surprised at the birth). It was a horrible appointment that left me very angry and upset. I was also told at my 7 week appointment that I was unprepared because I had not thought through a birth plan "like most women have." Additionally, my post-natal experience has not been great. My second appointment, I was told the doctor was running 45 minutes behind. A half an hour passed and he still had not seen the patient in front of me, so it was well more than 45 minutes. I ended up leaving (I have waited in that office for long periods of time before) and was not prepared to wait longer that day. For my re-scheduled appointment with Jeremiah Mcnamara, it was very clear that neither he, nor the nurse, had read my chart or were familiar with me at all. The nurse asked when my last period was and when I said a date over a year ago (due to pregnancy and childbirth) she said "wow is that typical?" I said "no...I just had a baby." Then Jeremiah, who was there to place an IUD, asked if I had a vaginal birth. I feel as though that should be the ONE thing he knew about me before putting a device in my vagina. I also feel as though the office takes a "wait and see" approach to issues, which could be a problem. I would say the issue of not being prepared for appointments (not reading charts) as well as being rushed in and out of appointments is not something you want when considering a doctor during pregnancy and child birth. Additionally, I have had appointments cancelled the day of and have had to wait for appointments many times. read more

Initially I went to see Katherine Frias, NP she was awesome. I am not having kids and am past that. I guess Dr. Price wanted to keep it elite by only having over priced / egomaniacs. I then saw Dr. Price for an issue but it has been going on for over a year... no labs, no ultrasound or anything.... 2 months later I saw Dr. Grey who was dismissive of any issue, said I was not that bad (I am living with the pain), did not need to have a pap because of my age (I am 46 WTF) and she also did not perform any labs/ tests just a quick pelvic check It took 2 weeks after I had a UTI to get in the front desk / appointment setters suck. There is no customer service and they are full of &*(? if they think that they have great bedside manners, customer care or their ability to find the root solution. Unless you want to feel like a cow in line waiting to have your baby or the revolving door of inconsiderate doctors go right ahead! read more

I came in the other day for an OB appointment and I have to say the front desk lady was so nice and friendly! She was very welcoming and made my experience 1000x better than I expected! read more
