Dr. Powelson is excellent. She is professional and takes the time necessary to address any questions.

Dr. Powelson is my OBGYN and followed me closely during a high risk pregnancy and delivered our first baby who is very healthy! Dr. Powelson is phenomenal - extremely patient, gentle, understanding, gracious, and intelligent! She remains calm and poised in all situations and is a God send. Dr. Cragun and Dr. Powelson followed us closely and had the ultrasound equipment in their office and ensured all our concerns and questions were addressed thoroughly and with care. Pam, Erin, and Whitney run the show in the office and they were absolutely amazing as well! They're such an incredible team and we feel blessed to have had the entire crew watching over mama and our little one growing. As medical professionals in the area, we have high standards and Dr. Powelson absolutely exceeded our expectations :) Amanda and Josh read more

Delivered my first child through this practice, and her cheek was cut during the emergency c-section, as the practice did not have the patience to let my labor progress naturally. Returned several years later for an IUD and had a poor experience with the office staff. Poorly organized and managed office with many manual systems that are out of date. Some of the partitioners are fine, but as you won't necessarily have that partitioner for your visit, I would not recommend. read more

On hold for over 15 minutes every time I call. They say they are going to sign your prescription and send it in but you have to call them multiple times and pester them to actually do it. read more

You know I'm not one to complain but this is something I have to address. I had made an appointment about two weeks ago and finally today was my appointment for 3:30 PM. They call me at 8:00 AM today to tell me they don't accept my insurance. I was in shock, they had 2 weeks to tell me this and I could've looked for another doctor and have the care that I needed sooner rather than later. I've been very anxious these two weeks to get this procedure done (which isn't crazy urgent but still). I finally got someone that would take my insurance but that's in another month. So now I have to wait longer to get this procedure done. This could've been handled better, maybe being more proactive would've been nice. read more

The front desk staff is amazing! They answered all my questions and I didn't feel like I was putting them out. Dr powelson is hands down the best doctor I've ever had. She was such a good listener and really took time to walk me through everything. read more

Absolutely love this office. Dr Cragun delivered my daughter in 2018 and was amazing. Fast forward to now. I'm 4 days postpartum and Dr Powelson delivered my son. My labor was very quick and thankfully she was at the hospital when he came. I was too far dilated for an epidural like I had planned for and he came so fast I wasn't able to get any meds what so ever. Ann was so insanely calm and walked me through everything as I was in active labor and pushing. When I said I had to push she quickly got ready and truly listened to my needs. I would 110% want her to deliver any of my future babies read more

Yes. It's a weird thing to review. People need to have the scoop though, that's what Yelp is for, right? We count on our fellow Yelpers to help us in all areas, so here goes... I've been to many ob/gyn groups over the course of my life. You grow up, go away to school, move, marry, move again....you get the picture. I've had the gamut from A to Z doctor wise, male and female. I want to assure you ladies, this group is wonderful! Caring, friendly, patient. Questions will be answered with a smile, suggestions given with no pressure. If you're at all unhappy with your current group, please don't stay there and hope it will get better. It won't. (Personal experience again). Just try these folks out-I know you'll not be sorry. (I'm the world's biggest chicken! :) ) The office is also, BTW- lovely. Clean, modern, it even smells nice. It feels more like a cozy living room than a doctor's office. Lots of parking right at the door as well. Just a note too, they take lunch from 12-2, if you get that 2 PM appt. as I did, they will open the doors for you to do paperwork at 1:30. Thank you, Karen-you're a gem! Best wishes to you! read more

Trust is a large factor in selecting a doctor and practice. I lost trust when I received a call to come in for my prescription when I arrived there was a mix up on the medication ordered ..and I was the one to have to tell them it was wrong. Any questions I had where responded in harsh tone and condescending. Maybe they had a bad day idk but not going back. read more

I love this office. My review is 6 years over due, and likely prompted by me switching Insurances /locations and will miss the staff. Dr.Cragun delivered my son 6 years ago-he was patient, professional, and I felt so comfortable with him. Dr.Powelson is whom I have been seeing most recently for my bladder sling surgery which went smoothly. You can rest assure she will make you feel at ease. I have also seen both Emily O'Neal PA and Stacie Thum NP for years: IUD placement and check ups. Both are excellent and can answer all of your questions. All of the staff, from your phone calls to walking in- are professional and kind. This office has always been lovely and accommodating staff. You are in excellent hands here and I will miss the staff.. read more

So here is exactly how my experience went with this office..... The very first time I met Dr. Gordon, she walks in with no introduction of who she is, her face mask is covering half of her face and she just starts talking about the baby and the pregnancy. There is no formal, "Are you Teryn? Hi, I'm Dr. Gordon, nice to meet you," which has been my experience ANY other time I meet a doctor for the first time. Especially when this person is going to be delivering my baby. I honestly wasn't sure if she was the nurse or who she was, since she didn't introduce herself. I simply had to gather that she was the doctor because she started to ask more questions like a doctor would. My husband and I left the appointment both agreeing that was strange and awkward. Where is the bedside manner? Then, most recently, I was supposed to have an in person appointment that I needed to reschedule. When I called in and asked if I could move it to the following day, they suggested doing a Tele-health appointment over the phone instead. I thought that was strange. This is my once a month appointment at this stage of my pregnancy. Covid or not, don't you need to check the baby's heartbeat? Check that there's no protein in my urine? But instead, they were suggesting to just do a phone call. I thought it was strange, but I agreed because we were heading out of town for the weekend anyway. So, we set up the tele-health call for the following day at 11:30 am. It was on their calendar and on mine. No one called me. I was so busy on my end and packing to go out of town, that I just let it go and decided I would check in the following week. There was even a brief moment that I thought, "Maybe I had missed their call or maybe another one of my children had my phone when they called....surely they called me, right!?" Well, we went out of town and I decided to deal with it the following week. So I call the following week to inquire... I tell the receptionist that I'm pretty sure no one called me and sure enough, she agreed that indeed, no one called me. She immediately went on to suggest another tele-health call, but let's remember that it's now been close to five or six weeks since my last in person visit and also, I still want to get to the bottom of why no one called me on our agreed to date and time?? When I pressed for why no one called me, she totally blew me off and basically said "she had no idea why" with a tone in her voice that could care less. Then, I told her it felt very unprofessional and that it made me feel very uncomfortable to have my baby in their office. She said, "No problem," with again a tone that could care less. So, I have now left their office and will be starting up with another very well-known doctor in Folsom that was a referral from a good friend. This isn't my first rodeo. This is my fifth child, with four previous deliveries in the Bay Area......all with amazing doctors and experiences, and I refuse to accept anything less than an amazing experience. This was certainly not one. read more

Let's start out with an argumentative woman named sky hung up on us I called back immediately and was told she was with a patient and would be unavailable for "45 minutes" The front desk staff advised my wife to stop taking her pre natal vitamins We couldn't get a call back for a simple question for 3 weeks leading up to the appointment If you have no concern for your child and want an obgyn that feels the same way-this is the practice for you read more

Unfortunately I never had a chance to follow thru with my appt at this office. Their reviews seemed great and I'm pregnant with my second child so I thought this office would be great to find an OB. (The first being born in a different state) I was sad to find out they have an office policy that does not allow children under the age of ten in office due to illnesses the younger children can bring in. I 100% understand protecting the mothers and unborn children but young children are just part of our world. My husband works extremely long hours to provide a home where I can stay and be with my 4 year old everyday and it is 1. Difficult for him to take time off every time I have an appt and 2. Sad that if he does take the time off for my appt he wouldn't be able to be a part of the interaction with our doctor. Instead he would have to stay home with our 4 year old. It would seem to me this office is not necessarily looking out for all pregnant women but instead looking for a specific type of clientele that can meet the offices "higher class" policies. read more

Dr Powelson is compassionate, patient and kind. She possesses the qualities one wants (and rarely finds) in a doctor. She takes the time to answer all of my questions and I have never felt rushed. read more

I LOVE Dr. Powelson. She has great communication and bedside manner during surgery and check ups. I highly recommend her! One thing about the front office: sometimes I think they have phone issues as I've been on hold for 10-15 minutes, then I hang up and call back and I'm immediately helped. Other than that one thing, I've had very great experiences with this office. They were helpful and efficient as I moved here from out of state and had to transfer my records. Dr. Powelson and her nurse always have good energy and a willingness to help and make me feel comfortable. read more

I really wanted to like this place but my experience was so frustrating that I would not recommend to anybody, but I understand people are different and have different opinions. I saw dr MacNear and she spent a total of 10mins (at the most) with me, ordered some tests but didnt explain what they were. I was lost and calling the office didnt help - they are nice, but they say theyll call you back but dont, or are too busy to answer the phone. I didnt hear back from the Dr for over a week and the office wanted me to make another appt to discuss the results. What results? I normally receive results within 2 days with other doctors, but this one nobody could give me an answer. I thought I was done with them, but 3 months later and I receive a bill for a test that I wasn't aware she had ordered nor did she discuss with me the results. In my opinion, doctors need to be upfront with you about everything they intend to do and that was not the case in this office. read more

Today was my first time at Folsom OB-GYN. Let's be real, no one really enjoys going to the doctor to get their annual exams done, but it is necessary. That being said, I had some anxiety about going somewhere new. I saw Dr. Macnear today and it was honestly the best appointment I have had in this regard. She takes the time to listen and understand what it is you're going through and doesn't just give generic answers. The exam itself was painless and quick. It is a nice touch that they give you a little chocolate square as well, makes it feel not so bad. I am sad that Dr. Macnear will be moving on elsewhere, however, I am sure that the other doctors and nurse practitioners will be just as caring as she was today. I am not totally dreading next year's exam. read more

I can't speak highly enough of ALL the practitioners and staff at Folsom OBGYN. They helped us through the birth and delivery of our first child and made the experience as smooth as possible. Everyone I came into contact with at the office was friendly, positive, approachable and easy to talk to- this includes all physicians as well as office staff. The office staff was fantastic in helping me complete leave paperwork and promptly sent that to my place of employment and were knowledgeable on this process as well as were forthcoming with information on costs upfront. Over the course of the pregnancy I saw Cragun, Gordon and MacNear a fair share of times and was more than comfortable with any of them delivering our son. I also feel that they each got to know me personally. Ultimately I had to have a last resort C-section that Dr. MacNear led and Dr. Gordon rearranged her schedule to be at. Dr. MacNear did a fabulous job with the procedure (even covering me with a blanket when she saw me shivering before it began). If that isn't the epitome of a caring doc, I don't know what is! Anyone who saw my incision after asked who completed the section because it looked as beautiful as a scar could and healed very well. I recommend this practice to everyone and am so glad they are here locally to deliver more of our babies. They are easy to schedule with which was important to me after leaving another OB in the area for not having openings. They have a nice facility with friendly office staff and ample parking. Most importantly, they made me feel that I was well cared for EVERY STEP OF THE WAY- including checking on me every morning and afternoon of my 3 day hospital stay pre-baby when there wasn't even progress. Thank you, thank you for everything! read more

This is hands down the BEST OB-GYN in the area without a doubt. All of the doctors here are so knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. They take time to get to know their patients and treat everyone with respect. I've been going here for 5 years now and they have been there for me through many procedures and surgeries. The desk staff and nurses greet you like a friend and they offer chocolate (lets face it, that's the best!). When I had to have an emergency c-section I not only got the doctor on call but Dr. Cragun showed up too and I can't tell you how much that means to me. They REALLY care and it shows. I love this place and I'm so thankful for them all. Thanks Dr. Cragun and staff for all you do! read more

I'm a new patient here, and just had a pap with Stacie, a nurse practitioner with Folsom Ob Gyn. She was extremely knowledgeable and gentle. I hate pap smears, but this was a really great experience. The whole front office and back office staff are so sweet and welcoming. Stacie took her time to address any concerns I had, and didn't rush me or brush my concerns under the rug. The office is also lovely, and I felt so relaxed. I haven't had kids yet, I would definitely trust Folsom Ob Gyn with all that baby business, they really care for their patients! read more

Wow just wow!!! I was in a huge need to get seen! And Dr.Gordon was able to fit me in on such short notice. Her and the entire staff were super sweet and professional! Dr. Gordon took her time with me to explain everything and go over test results with me and answer all of my questions. I'm coming from Roseville and it's safe to say that I've found my OBGYN! Highly recommend her!!! read more

I have worked in professional setting with both Dr. Cragun and Dr. MacNear and absolutely admired their bedside manner. They are very caring and compassionate towards patients, and extremely knowledgable in their field. Now I am a patient of Dr. MacNear and consider myself very lucky to find such wonderful provider. I recently had surgery and Dr. MacNear did a wonderful job! She was very accommodating and made sure I was well taken care of during hospital stay. She also has a great sense of humor and very easy to talk to. I am post op day one and pain free! Great skills! Office staff is also very welcoming and helpful. It is easy to schedule an appointment and the wait is never long. read more

Had a total abdominal hysterectomy in February done by Dr. Powelson and Dr. Gordon. Dr. Powelson performed the surgery, and it is currently May and I am still suffering from the mistakes made by her during this surgery. She made an accidental incision in my bladder during my bladder and failed to notice it and contact a urologist to fix it upon surgery. I myself am a nurse and noticed after surgery that I was having extreme pain. I suspected there something was wrong but Dr. Powelson reassured me the surgery went great and my bladder was fine. I have undergone a surgery to fix her work, and will have to have another surgery as the damage was very extensive. I believe Dr. Powelson is not experienced enough to be performing surgeries and recommend avoiding this office at all costs. read more

Amazing OB-GYN. Dr. Cragun is amazing! Wouldn't trust anyone else to deliver my babies!

I give this place Zero Stars. I am pregnant and at my first visit they did absolutely nothing except for take my blood pressure. They did not take a urine sample or blood test or even use a heartbeat monitor to check on things. I filled out a lot of paper work. Then at the end of my appointment they notified me that Dr. Gordon was leaving at the end of July for good. I never saw a doctor when I was there nor was I even checked out. I have been to many an OBGYN before this for having other Children and I would defineately not recommend this place. Also their Speculums I saw a nurse come get some from one of the rooms were neither brand new nor wrapped in plastic..there was just a pile of them in one of the rooms in a drawer how would anyone even know if they are clean or not. I hope they get shut down it was the worst place I have ever been. read more

I called and was told that I would not be seen for a first appointment until I was 12 weeks along! The receptionist explained this is the office policy when I questioned this. I pointed out that their is screening/testing I would like to get done that can be ordered prior to being 12 weeks along. Nope, she would not see if someone would at least order lab work for me before that first appointment or schedule me to come in sooner. I don't get it. Waiting for someone to be 12 weeks along, then only gives that person another week and 6 days to get the first blood draw done for the Sequential Integrated Screening. So what if someone is further along than they thought? This policy could then result in that person missing out entirely on the first steps of this screening. This is the type of practice that puts women's health at risk and takes away choice. Shame on you for this policy. read more

The office staff is outstanding. Dr Powelson has been one of our favorite doctors. She is calm, has great bedside manner and well educated. The NPs were all wonderful too! Dr Powelson was also able to deliver our baby and again showed such poise and calmness during a stressful delivery, which put us very much as ease. Highly recommend her! read more

BEST physicians I've ever gone to! I wish Dr. Cragun could be my PCP. He has seen me through 5 pregnancies, 2 losses, 3 c-sections and literally saved my life with my last (due to a rare condition called placenta percreta). I'm so blessed to have had him deliver me. If he hadn't been there, I have no doubt that I wouldn't be alive. Not only is he a very skilled physician, he's just a kind human being. The staff at Folsom OB is absolutely wonderful as well. Dr Gordan is fabulous as well. She deliver my 2nd baby. And I can't say enough good things about the other gals in the office. They're very personable and always so kind. It's nice to go in and be recognized and called by name. I'm a little sad that I won't be having any more babies. But I'm still to going anywhere else. Folsom OB/GYN is a fantastic team!!! read more

Inefficient, lost me as a patient because of it. I have a strange insurance, so I called weeks ahead to provide all my information over the phone and give them time to verify my benefits. They did so, and told me I could schedule an appointment to come in. I filled out the entire packet they mailed me and had it ready. When I walked in 15 minutes early for my appointment, it took them almost 30 minutes to determine that did not have my insurance verified and so they wanted me to cash pay or reschedule. Additionally, the receptionist continued to ask out load in the lobby what I was there to be seen for. Very inappropriate. I will be establishing myself as a patient elsewhere. read more

Every time I come into the office, the girls at the front are super sweet and professional. They make me feel warm and welcome, and to add to that, the doctors there are really knowledgeable and know a lot about their work! If you have questions they provide you with so much information. I would definitely recommend this private practice to anyone read more

Honestly I'm a little torn between 2 and 3 stars. I've been to this office on 2 occasions. The first trip I saw Dr. O'Neal and I really liked her. She made a point to ask questions about my life and make conversation, it wasn't just an in and out experience. However, my second trip and the experience I had after was terrible. I found out I was pregnant and my husband and I were ecstatic. I was about 9 weeks pregnant when I woke up one morning bleeding and cramping really bad. It was on a Friday so I called the office and they told me to come in right away. I did, but I didn't talk to a doctor, I talked to (Sue? I think? Something like that. She wasn't the doctor but she was above the front desk ladies. When I came in, I talked to this women and I'm in tears at this point, she gave me a paper to go get my blood work done at Quest. I asked a few questions and she basically just told me "if the bleeding continues or gets any heavier then.." and she just made a face. This same woman was the least empathetic and handled the fact that I had a miscarriage in the worst way I think I could ever imagine. I called to find out my results and she started rambling and I literally had to say "so did I have a miscarriage then?" and she answered with "oh definitely". I felt like she didn't care at all and obviously losing my first baby was a traumatic experience that I'm convinced she didn't give a shit about. And I'm sure she didn't, but still learn how to act accordingly. read more

I am a lucky women that I found Dr. Jeff Cragun. He is professional , yet down to earth, that you can talk with him. Answers all my question straight to the point. A GREAT GUY I must say the whole office treats you as if you've been there for years. I am fortunate to be a patient with this office for at least 3 years. I am very satisfied that I was recommended to this office. Thank You Dr. Cragun & Staff for exceptional job, Judi P. read more

I had the best experience here having my last baby. I had the opportunity to have a baby at three different OB-GYN offices in the Sacramento area and my experience at this practice with these doctors far outranks the rest. I never waited long at my appointments and the doctors went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Gordon was so personable and even went the extra mile to take care of me when she wasn't in the office. Dr. Macnear has an excellent bedside manner and a great candor with her patients. Dr. Cragun is thoughful and thorough taking the time to make sure you and you're baby are healthy. I am so glad I finally found and OB office where I am excited to have another baby at! I only wish I would have found it sooner! read more

I was treated horribly by Folsom OBGYN in Folsom, CA, after I had a miscarriage. Dr. Cragun came highly rated and did a fine job with my son but his associate Dr. Carrie Gordon shuffled me to strangers - a random imaging center - to give me the news. They had test results but wouldn't give them to me because, as I later found out from the Dr who performed my D&C surgery, they were religious affiliated and wouldn't touch me because the removal of my dead baby was against their policy. They basically closed the door and stopped taking my calls, making the inevitable weight of unnecessary shame and guilt doubled. Shock and horror and terror and grief was what that Dr.'s office gave me. They could have made more gentle choices, truly caring for me a patient and human being, but instead threw me out like I was a monster. It was the darkest time in my life made worse by such cutthroat religious fanatic doctors. It's a shame because I really did like Dr. Cragun and his medical assistant staff, and literally trusted Dr. Cragun with my life. He delivered my breech csection son like a superhero, and was a very nice man with a comforting, authoritative presence. I would never in a million years have guessed that I would have been dropped so suddenly and without warning or justification. I was never again allowed to speak with Dr. Cragun, and the one time I spoke with Dr. Gordon on the phone about the results she was very cold and borderline cruel. If you go here it's at your own risk. Sure, if you have a textbook pregnancy you'll probably be fine, but in the off chance you lose your pregnancy, be prepared to lose not only your baby, but also this doctor, and your faith in the ability of the medical profession to have compassion over profit. read more

Amazing group of people. Very helpful and delightful staff. I would recommend to anyone.

I absolutely love this office! Dr Gordon is just about the sweetest doctor I've ever been treated by and I wish I could have her as my primary care physician for ever! The staff is always so friendly and warm and there's never been a single moment I've felt anything less than "one of the family" while I'm there! Dr Gordon never makes me feel silly for asking any question I might have and goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable! I highly, highly recommend Folsom OB-GYN! read more

I have been seeing Dr Gordon for 7 or 8 years. I drive an hour and a half to see her. Literally. I've been in her operating room 3 times and she has delivered both of my girls. She is super easy to talk to about anything. The only bummer is that it's really hard to get an appointment with her. But seriously, I love her. If she wasn't looking at my reproductive organs, she would be my BFF. Dr Cragun is just as amazing. He assisted Dr Gordon during both of my c-sections. Super calm and very comforting. Amazing man! During my second c-section we were talking about the North Face Outlet in Berkley. Ha! Ashley, at the font desk, is awesome and always takes the time to chat and say hello. The rest of the office staff can be a little "stiff." I think they have a hired a few new people, so hopefully the moral perks up. read more

I switched to this office very late in my pregnancy but loved everything about the office and staff. Everyone is so kind. Wait time was never long. read more

I have been a patient here for years and years. Seen Dr. Cragun and others. But today I saw Stephanie Honda P.A., by far the best physician I have ever seen. On so many levels. She listened to me, read my history AND my family history. She even called me 2 hours after my dr appt to let me know she has researched something further for me and had a suggestion of what could help my pill work better. I have just never had a doctor brighten a very crummy day for me as much as she did. I highly recommend her or Dr. Cragun. He is the best in the business and hires the best in the business. I appreciate this and their timeliness. It's very prompt compared to almost any other specialty you visit. You will thank me! read more

Folsom obgyn has been, by and large, the best experience I have ever had with an obgyn. The only person I have not seen or interacted with at all is Dr. Gordon, but I know people who have and say she is also amazing. They are patient and COMPASSIONATE with me. Every. Single. Time. I am in a tough situation with a high risk pregnancy. From the VERY beginning they have listened, ordered tests to assuage my anxiety, given me EVERY support and intervention that might possibly help, and listened to me...attentively. At this point they all pretty much know my face and every time I get an ultra sound they stop me to look at my pictures and celebrate with me (seriously, they stop me so they can see :). I can not tell you how comforting it is to go there. I really believe they care about me personally. Before this pregnancy I used them for routine check ups etc. They were patient and talked with me about any questions I had then too. Honestly, twice Stacie spent about an hour answering questions for me. Patiently. Compassionately. I cannot recommend them enough. It has made all the difference this time around. I always chose UCD doctors because I thought they were on the cutting edge of research and training. I was so wrong and am so thankful that my insurance forced me to switch. So much more attention to detail and patient care at Folsom obgyn than I ever received from UCD, or any other dr for that matter. read more
