    How many women out there have heard the term "hymenal remnant"? Apparently, this is so common in…read morethe female anatomy that Dr. Nicole Davis decided not to share with me that mine was enlarged/irregular. Even though that was what I went in for - a growth coming out of my body that didn't feel right and wasn't always there. Not only did she not address it (again, the thing I literally went in for) but I think she just plain didn't see it. She instead minimized my concern and said I must be talking about something on the external part of my body, around my labia. I called the clinic 5 days later and spoke to Tina, who is the be-all-end-all at this clinic. She's the admin, the CFO, the CEO - aka, if you aren't happy with how she is treating you then too bad so sad. She continuously interrupted me and did NOT want to believe the patient; she offered zero resolution and zero compassion. I asked Tina to have Dr. Nicole Davis call me after she reviewed the photo I had to take of MY VAGINA and send it to them via the Klara app (something I never dreamed of having to do). They took no accountability for their lack of understanding what my concern was OR that during my exam, it was completely missed. They said I could come back for another exam and pay another copay, shocker. When Dr. Nicole Davis messaged me (even though I specifically asked for her to call me), I replied and asked her to confirm that she completely missed this. She replied stating "I may have seen it during your exam, but because it is a normal variation, I do not routinely discuss it with patients." Let me be very clear - this was only the SECOND time she had seen me. How is anything about our doctor/patient relationship routine?! I strongly recommend starting with Planned Parenthood to get treatment from those in the medical community who truly care about women. Then ask that physician who their OBGYN is, that's my plan. No way in hell am I coming back to this place. As if women don't deal with gaslighting enough in this world - I sure as shit don't need it from my OBGYN.

    My daughter was scheduled to go there for a cancer check after some questionable results. Her…read moreappointment was 9:00am. She had received a text confirming her appointment along with a link that did not work. She arrived at 8:43am and was turned away and had her appointment canceled due to not arriving 20 minutes prior to her appointment. Really 3 minutes makes that much of a difference? Especially when there was no mention of it in the text and have screen shots to prove it. Extremely unprofessional place and I would hope that they would have cared more about womens health than this. Sounds more like they had a scheduling issue and needed to make room or any other possible scenario. I would not trust these people with my health or the health of a child if this is how they treat people. Especially a scared young woman who was trying to find out if she had cancer.

She does take insurance which is amazing. As far as I know she's the only wholistic medical professional in the area that actually takes insurance. I've only seen her once so far but I can tell you that we spent about an hour going through health history, nutrition, etc. I've never met with any doctor or nurse that spent that much time trying to understand my health from all avenues.
