Switched to this practice for OBGYN, found out I was pregnant and the first two appointments went…read morewell after that it was all downhill. The head receptionist Cheryl is very opinionated and rude. She made the whole experience horrible and was very unprofessional There are 4-6 receptionists in the front room at any given time and on countless occasions they will all just completely ignore you. I waited 20 minutes at the window before with no acknowledgment Parking is $3 minimum after validation and most times my appointments were less time than the process of getting to the office My care seemed more like checking the boxes of what they are supposed to do than actually having a conversation and caring for me! again my first two encounters were wonderful and the doctors were very engaged and my last few appointments were the complete opposite where I felt like just a paycheck overall cannot recommend this office

If there was an option to give zero stars that would be my rating. I was referred from my PA to…read morethis office approximately six months ago to have my regular exams. I received paperwork in the mail, filled the four pages out with an appointment scheduled months ago. The office called me the day before to cancel my appt. and to reschedule. I finally had my appt. with the only one available Nicole Snyder. I came prepared with my paperwork early, only to be told that I had an invoice from 7 years ago in 2016 for $168 that I had to pay upfront or they would refuse me. I could not recall the invoice and it was the first time it was brought to my attention as they had not mentioned before I arrived in person. The office were given multiple opportunities to bring it to my attention and I would have had the opportunity to address it then. I explained I did not have the funds to pay for an invoice that I could not recall ever receiving back in 2016 let alone not knowing who my insurance co. was back then. I don't recall receiving an invoice from Women's Wellness in 2016 and I am very organized and conscinetious when handling invoices. The registration clerk rudely asked me how would they know if they could trust I would pay my invoice for today's services. I explained and trying to assure them my invoice today 12/16/2025 would be handled because I have medicaid they flat out refused to keep the appointment and I did not receive my exam. Instead of thinking of the care of the patient, the money somehow reconciled from seven years ago, that I don't agree to being valid at this time, was put as the priority over my care. I will never return to this office because of the inhumane treatment I received. Try to understand I walked out of the door not to be rude but because it took a great amount of energy to make it to the office and you never know what is going on with somebody so put some kindness in your practice.

The team at this facility is fantastic! I have had such a bad time at other facilities but they…read morereally listen to you here! On my first appointment, I spent about 45 just talking to the provider and explaining my history and concerns. They help with all kinds of things, and the ultrasound techs are so friendly as well! I highly highly recommend this facility for all of your Obgyn needs!!

I first came here in July to meet with Dr. Brown. I had a GYN surgery in late June…read more Unfortunately, that wasn't successful. Dr. Brown did my second surgery back in late August (although it seems like yesterday). He was very good at telling me exactly what was happening. He kept me in the loop and explained everything in simple terms. He answered any questions my Mom and I had. After my surgery was done, he went out and talked to my Mom and explained what happened. He also didn't seem to mind me talking about my cats. When I went in for my post-op appointment a week later, he asked me about them. I also feel like Dr. Brown's thorough and cares about me. I think he felt bad for me when I told him how 2 of my cats kind of acted like punks after my surgery. One of them knocked my glasses case off of my nightstand the night of my surgery. When I bent over to pick them up the next morning, I had pain bending over. One of my other cats jumped on me when I was in bed and stepped on one of my incisions. I plan on seeing Dr. Brown for my yearly exams from now on. I went in yesterday for another post-op exam. He asked me about my cats again. I was a little emotional talking about one of them, Mac, who got really sick last year and passed away. He treated me with dignity, respect, kindness and like a human. I feel lucky.

Seriously, this is basically a slap in the face, and I feel like I've been blown off by a doctor that has no idea what it's like to be suffering.

As nervous as I was being my first pregnancy- the Doctor put me to ease right away. He is kind, makes me feel comfortable and always answers my questions. Although he was off duty BOTH times I delivered my children, Dr Amankwah was the one who made sure I made it full term. The ladies in his office who help him are amazing and you can tell they enjoy being at work. I would recommend not only SDMG for your health needs, but specifically Doctor Amankwah as well.

The second I stepped into this PP I felt immediate relief and comfort. Every single person along the way was incredibly kind and attentive. I touched base with about 8 (yes, 8!) staff throughout my appointment process (from front desk to nurses and doctors) and I always felt so safe and completely heard. Aside from the comfort the staff brought me, they are all very knowledgeable and I never felt like anything was done only half way. I traveled about an hour to visit this Planned Parenthood as opposed to one closer to me and it was so worth it to leave feeling more whole than when I arrived. I highly recommend this Planned Parenthood for ~any~ service you are seeking. Thank you, PP.

I really like my doctor but you get scheduled with all of them depending on who's available. The Sonó lady in room 3 is by far the best (blonde with glasses). She really tries to get a good picture of your baby. The others rush through your sonó. Getting to see your baby is the best part and it would have been nice to get a somewhat good photo. I don't like how they take blood In The room up on the high angled patient seat. One nurse refused to let me sit in a normal chair even after I told her I have fainted when I have given blood before. She was so rude. The nurses also don't answer the phone. Like ever. You have to wait for a call back which is sometimes frustrating. Also the receptionist at exit, desk furthest from door is not easy to work with. I tell her I need later afternoon apts and she gives me a hard time about it every single time. The others are more than willing to accommodate. Sometimes the wait to see a doctor is terrible. I waited 45 mins multiple times and the nurses never even came back to check on me to let me know it was going to be a while. I thought I was forgotten. I do like it here overall and will continue to come here even though it's a bit of a drive. Just some feedback for improvement!

This office is a nightmare to work with. I am trying to get help with infertility problems, and…read moreafter almost 2 yrs of trying to get specific tests (somehow they're never able to schedule them and I should try next month) they *finally* referred me to a fertility specialist clinic. I went, and here's the kicker...they won't release my other test results and records I signed a release for in order to pursue treatment at this clinic (unless I want to re-do those tests and waste more time and money). April Summerfield seems nice but it's a struggle to get her to listen to anything I say. Her nurses/the admin team are either grossly incompetent or seem uninterested in doing their jobs at all. Try anywhere else.

I have been a patient here for over 11 years and I can honestly say that I have been completely…read morehappy with the care that I have received here, both from the medical and office staff. I mostly go to the N. Syracuse office, but have had occasion to visit both the Fayetteville and James St. locations as well. In all three cases, the waiting areas are comfortable and the office staff I have encountered has been friendly (if a rushed) at times. And any calls I have made to the nurses' line have been connected quickly and those nurses are wonderful to talk to. I have seen three practitioners over the years, Dr. Kavety being my main provider. She is young, no nonsense, and you can tell she keeps up to date in her field. I've also seen two of the nurse-midwives, Jane Fields and Elaine Mielcarski. In all three cases, they are compassionate, careful, considerate, and non-judgmental. They have always given me options for my care, and are happy to discuss any questions I might have. Dr. Kavety has also been happy to help with me non-gyno issues - such as smoking cessation and cholesterol checks. She really is awesome. Going to the gyno is never something that one looks forward to - but it's as good as it gets here. They ARE a busy practice, and with good reason. I can't speak to their obstetric care, but as a healthy young woman, this practice has been great fit.
