I have been a faithful and very grateful patient of Dr. Midkiff for 19 years. I have referred…read morecountless friends to her and they have all been very extremely pleased with her pleasant demeanor, expert medical advice and approach to each patient's individual needs. Dr. Midkiff is an incredibly compassionate person who intently listens to any concerns and goes the extra mile to ensure you are getting the health care you need. Her staff has always been top notch. Dr. Midkiff's office staff is friendly and effecient and the office environment is calm and well organized. I'm very grateful to have been fortunate to have her as my OB/GYN during my pregnancy 19 years ago and all the years since. She's the BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!

I gave Dr. Midkiff a TWO because of the fact she still handles caseloads with PAPER - no MYCHART…read more This is rather disappointing because she does not have any way to peruse any of my medical history quickly. (Hence, if I come for a visit, she cannot quickly scan any other previous procedures I have had in the past.) Additionally, I had a procedure she performed in her office. The site became infected despite anti-boitics and ointment. Her attitude was 'it will go away'. However, I had to find and go to an Emergency OB/GYN (because of severe pain of site) in order to have the infection viewed and resolved. Because of this other doctor, it cleared up in a matter of one week (or less). I rarely would see Dr. Midkiff because she had a terrific N.P. who I saw. This person was SHARP and seemed interested in my medical care. She is no longer with Dr. Midkiff. With Dr. Midkiff, I often felt I was invisible. Her office manner leaves a lot to be desired. I had been seeing her for many years. Finally, I couldn't take the no MyChart because of my age and overall failing health as a senior. Seniors need to have more consideration due to their medical histories. I now see another OB/GYN in the area which uses MyChart.

The office has a really nice and big waiting room. It's clean and neat. The staff is friendly, the nurses are also nice.

When we arrived the waiting room was packed. I was somewhat worried that we would be there a while by the looks of the waiting room. Much to my surprise, we were taken back to the exam room about 10 minutes after our scheduled appointment. After taking my wife's vitals we were handed a cloth bag full of pregnancy books and other pregnancy related information. When meeting with the doctor he was really laid back. He joked with me about my wife complaining all the time. Every person we interacted with was very friendly. They took the time to explain what was happening and to answer all of our questions. I know I am very happy with this office and my wife is too.

I've had mixed experiences at this location. It really depends on the doctor you have I've learned…read moreover the years though. Recently, I had a doctor here take on my difficult case and he has been the first person here to listen to me and my problems. Dr. Beer discovered I had endometriosis when no other doctor would do the surgery. Now he has helped me find specialists to continue figuring out how to better control my symptoms. You can have you iffy days and experiences here, but if you don't have many options...I suggest giving this place a try!

I am submitting this complaint because I have experienced multiple concerning incidents at this…read morewomen's center, all within approximately one month. I understand that mistakes can happen, but the number and nature of these incidents in such a short period of time have left me extremely frustrated and concerned about the quality of care, patient safety, privacy, organization, documentation, and attention to detail at this facility. During one appointment, I was undergoing a procedure that required me to be positioned with my legs elevated and exposed. While I was in this vulnerable position, the staff appeared not to know how to properly operate the examination chair. They repeatedly adjusted and repositioned the chair with me still on it, moving me into different positions while I remained exposed. This was extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable and made me feel as though my privacy and dignity were not being adequately considered. After going through that procedure, I was then informed that they had not collected enough of the sample they needed. At another visit, I came in specifically to have blood drawn for an upcoming procedure because I had been instructed to do so. I was told that the person who normally draws blood had just left, but a medical assistant who is now a receptionist offered to draw it. Before she began, I specifically showed her the vein in my left arm that is routinely used successfully for my blood draws. She attempted it but was unsuccessful. She then attempted my other arm even though I explained that providers normally cannot obtain blood from that side. Another staff member was brought in and attempted to draw blood from my hand twice. I again explained that the reliable vein was in my left arm and asked her to try it. When she finally used the vein I had identified from the beginning, she was able to obtain the blood successfully. By that point, I had been stuck multiple times. I later discovered another concerning issue: my blood work had been entered under the wrong name. I was also required to provide an additional urine sample. Staff also could not remember which arm my Nexplanon implant is located in, which further concerned me about whether important information regarding my care is being properly documented and reviewed. During my most recent visit, the staff member who took my vital signs then could not remember where she had placed the paper containing my vitals. She was running around trying to locate it and could not find the paperwork. After everything else that has happened, watching staff search for documentation containing information that had just been collected added significantly to my concerns about organization and record handling at this facility. What concerns me most is that all of these incidents have occurred within approximately one month. This is no longer one frustrating appointment or an isolated mistake. Within a very short period of time, I have experienced: * Staff struggling to operate an examination chair while I was exposed during an intimate procedure. * An inadequate specimen being collected during that procedure. * Multiple unsuccessful needle sticks despite my explaining where blood is routinely obtained successfully. * My blood work being entered under the wrong patient's name. * Staff being unable to identify which arm contains my Nexplanon implant. * Staff being unable to locate the paper containing vital signs they had just taken. I understand that healthcare professionals are human and mistakes can happen. However, when repeated issues involve patient identification, medical documentation, specimens, medical information, privacy, and basic organization, I believe there is reason for legitimate concern. I am not submitting this complaint because of one inconvenience or because someone simply had difficulty drawing my blood. I am submitting it because multiple problems involving different aspects of my medical care have occurred within approximately one month, and the cumulative experience has caused me to lose confidence in the accuracy, organization, and handling of my care at this facility.

I was so scared to go back to a gynecologist after a horrible experience with a terrible doctor in…read moreBreese, IL that left me psychologically scarred and in severe pain for 3 days (let's just say I could hardly walk). I was visibly shaking when I got there, so much so that when I got on the scale, the scale was rattling. The nurses and staff were so kind to me and reassured me of everything. I was so touched by their kindness! Dr. Hulsen himself is kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to get to know me before I even had to do any exams. He talked about my past experience, all the things that were bothering me, and any and all apprehensions that I had. He's so sweet and has a great sense of humor. Not once did he talk down to me, and I never felt any humiliation during this experience. He really eased all of my troubles, and guess what? The exam didn't even hurt! I was so amazed and so grateful for his kind demeanor and bedside manner that I just about broke down into tears. If you're looking for a great gynecologist who will listen to you, respect you, and take care of you, Dr. Thomas M. Hulsen is THE ONE to go to! Don't even bother going across the river to St. Louis. In fact, you should come over here from St. Louis to see him! I was definitely impressed, and well... let's just say that 1.) I'm not afraid of seeing the gynecologist again, and 2.) I will definitely be back next year for my annual exam.

In November, I was seeing her for the third time since August of this year, and see didn't even know I was on any medication!! Also, when talking to her about the medication I'm on for PCOS, she didn't know too much about how this medicine affected my hormones and acted as if what I was experiencing was not being caused by my medicine. After leaving and speaking to other woman who have PCOS and reading on PCOS support sites, what I was experiencing was very normal....she was leading me to believe all of this was abnormal! Dr. Gingrich does not value the quality of care she is giving, is rude and unprofessional made comments to me about me after she was done examining me!! This exam was a check on my newly inserted IUD and she didn't even let me know how everything was!! Her staff does not keep her informed as to what medical paperwork they are filling out for her either. In November I brought her a medical report and she had no idea that her staff filled it out incorrectly for me a few weeks prior......here I am thinking this is the second time she has seen this form and she had never laid eyes on it!!!!! Plus her office is busy all day everyday, almost every time you call you are placed on hold for quite a while, with waiting times for scheduled appointments in office being very long as well. Do yourself a favor and find a Dr. who is going to care about you personally, who is nice, who will give you answers and wants to find a solution to any medical problem you may be working on together, not someone who can't remember who you are or if you are on any medicine.

She is soft-spoken, gentle, and explains every single step of her processes. She gave me my first pap, delivered my child, and has performed a coloscopy with biopsy.

In the past, it has taken awhile in the waiting room but my last appointment I was in super quick and no other patients were there. Dr. Staten delivers a lot of babies so she is all over the hospital and her office, so this may account for it.
