I called to ask if they provide a cervix dilator before their IUD procedures. I was told by the…read morereceptionist, "The nurse said they will not give you any narcotics just because you asked for them, because the IUD shouldn't be that painful anyway." If you are a woman considering an IUD, and you have not had a baby before, do not go to this clinic. If you are planning to use this clinic, and you have questions about the pain of this procedure, do not ask. They will assume you are drug seeking. I had my first IUD done at Robert A Mesropian Center for Community Care, in New Hampshire. Because of my size and the fact that I have never had a child, they wanted me to use a dilator the night before the procedure. I didn't know, and I didn't apply the pill until the next morning. When they put the IUD in, I was in so much pain that I threw up, and I cramped for the rest of the day. I wasn't given any narcotics from that doctor though, and there's no reason why I would expect that a new doctor would give any narcotics. But, it seems that they also don't offer any dilator's before the procedure, and this is what I wanted to get clear on. Based on my last experience, I would be too afraid to do the procedure without a dilator. Given my past experience, it's reasonable why I would be overwhelmed as I prepare to have the old IUD removed and a new one put in. It's unfortunate that the receptionist is more concerned with trying to "out" potential drug seekers than answering the questions of prospective patients. When it comes to smaller, more personal clinics, the most important thing is feeling safe as a patient. I would never be able to feel safe to share my concerns at this clinic, so there would never be a reason for me to ever go here. Anyone with similar feelings or concerns should also avoid this clinic. Planned Parenthood was much more helpful and supportive on the phone. They do not offer dilator's before their IUD procedures, but it was really easy for me to get that information. They were very kind and understanding as I explained my situation. I may just go back to New Hampshire to have it done. I will also say that I told the receptionist that I would get a recommendation from the doctor who did my first one, in order to verify how unusual my IUD experience was. I don't even think the receptionist heard me. She literally just repeated that the procedure shouldn't be that painful. I don't even know if this clinic offers dilators before the procedure, to be honest. They very well might! So, it really just speaks to the importance of professionalism on the part of the front desk.

Please go to Planned Parenthood or a doctor you trust if you are dealing with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. This is not a nonjudgemental space meant to help you. A basic google search will bring up their parent organization, Baptist Convention of Iowa, where they state their actual intentions: "Informed Choices was founded with the vision to eliminate the 'need' for abortion in Iowa. Their mission is to, "meet the real needs of men and women when they are facing unexpected sexual health decisions and turn fear into confidence by providing strength for life's tough choices." Their desire is to provide Christ-centered medical care" Yikes. Avoid at all costs.

Looking for a clinic and group of physicians to care for me through my pregnancy, I decided to…read morecheck out OBGYN Associates. Confusingly, there's also an OBGYN Associates in Cedar Rapids which is totally unrelated to this practice. I was excited that the Cedar Rapids practice is not affiliated with any specific hospital but has privileges at several hospitals, so you can pick where you want to deliver and your doctor will meet you there. Exactly what I wanted, but this Coralville practice is affiliated with Mercy so does not follow that method. This is not very clear on their website and definitely a letdown. With my appointment already scheduled, I decided to give it a try anyway. When I questioned why they weren't giving me an ultrasound, they explained it was because I'd told them I had one at my 7 week appointment when I was previously at the UI clinic. This took me by surprise since that ultrasound was a pro bono - I was in fertility treatment at UI and at a higher risk of things going wrong. This meant that I'd have to wait until my 20 week appointment for my next one - three months after my initial ultrasound. I still don't understand why they didn't want to see for themselves that everything was okay, especially since I was requesting and willing to pay for it. The biggest thing that made me question what their long-term care would be like was that they didn't ask to have my records transferred from my previous clinic, so they were going into my care with no knowledge of my former health history. No questionnaire about our family's history of genetic diseases, no discussion of what I should or shouldn't be eating... all things the UI clinic discussed with me the second I transferred back to them. Even they found it odd that I hadn't had a sit-down with a nurse over at OBGYN Associates. But! Superficially I did like that this clinic has a smaller number of obstetricians so you're likely to meet everyone during your prenatal care - a major perk since on delivery day, your delivering doctor is sure to be a familiar face. Plus the clinic is gorgeous with a modern and zen design.

Guy I met with looked over my labs and explained costs and insurance. I thought I'd give it a try - for me, results almost immediate - the sit on the couch veg with TV when I used to be a type A went away - it was the old me. They take blood work every so weeks to be sure all is okay. Staff is five star! Sex wise not like you're 19 but vast improvement. They had snacks on Vets Day and today when they found out I was part of the government shutdown and not getting paid they waived my January co-pay. Now that's a class act!

I can't even begin to properly convey how problematic my short time with PA has been, but I'll try…read more I underwent ADHD testing in February, and I was diagnosed officially, as well as with social anxiety and rejection sensitive dysphoria. The provider was thoughtful, on time and generally competent. Then it all went horribly wrong. As part of my treatment, I was referred to a therapist and a prescriber, both within the PA system. I first had my appointment with the therapist. I showed up on time, checked in, and waited. There was a sign at reception saying that if you have not been called back 10 minutes after the appointment start time, to let them know. At the 10 minute mark, I flagged them down, and they said that they would call the therapist again. Ten minutes later, she had still not come out even though reception kept calling her. My anxiety went through the roof, and I ended up leaving without ever being seen. I was rescheduled with another therapist, who then canceled my appointment the day before. I was rescheduled for 2 weeks later. My session was...weird. I believe the purpose of therapy is to allow the patient to talk, but the therapist seemed to make it a game to try to finish my sentences before I could. In the meantime, I have been receiving paper invoices when I specifically directed that for privacy purposes any billing statements be emailed or texted. HIPAA allows a patient to direct the format communications come in, and PA have completely disregarded my wishes. Both visits were denied by my insurance because the primary reason for the visits was noted as something completely different from the actual purpose. I'm not sure if it was a play to get more reimbursement, but it seems awfully shady. I requested both be resubmitted, and only one has, despite my repeated requests. Time is running out on the resubmission, so it looks like I'm going to be out several hundred dollars. I requested a refill of medication through Amazon pharmacy, which I have used for years. Amazon attempted to contact PA many times and they never responded, resulting in my having to go without my medication. Thankfully, I was able to explain the situation to my GP and he called in a script for me. They STILL have not called Amazon back. Another prescription was called into the wrong pharmacy, one that I do not have a relationship with so it took a while to get to the bottom of where it was sent and why no one called me about it. I called 11 days ago to speak to them about all the issues and the resubmission for insurance. I was told someone would get back to me that day as it was a priority. No call back. Ever. I called today to speak to them about the ongoing issues. I was told I would speak with a member of management. After being on hold for a lengthy period, I hung up. That was 3 hours ago and now the office has closed. Please stay far away. I wish I had. This level of incompetence, particularly with mental health services, would be laughable if it were not so damaging.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. She has such a good way with children. She always takes plenty of time at our children's routine checkups; we never feel rushed.
