I've been seeing Dr. Mihalek since 2009 and in that time he's done prenatal care for 2 pregnancies and delivered both of our babies, and if we have a third child I wouldn't see anyone else for obstetric care. He has an amazing bedside manner, really listens to his patients, and has a great sense of humor. And he's GENTLE with his exams, which is not an insignificant thing in that line of work.
In my first pregnancy when there were issues of concern, he helped us understand the situation and gave us the information we needed to decide on a course of action. Later, I developed a serious complication shortly before my due date that required an immediate, high-risk induction, and our baby arrived safely thanks to his expertise and skill. With my second pregnancy when I had some worrisome symptoms in my third trimester, he increased how often he saw me and added additional monitoring for everyone's peace of mind, and he did a second successful induction and delivery. Whenever issues have come up during pregnancy, delivery, or postpartum, they have been handled immediately in a very calm and reassuring way. He or the on call Grove Hill OB responds quickly to phone calls, even after office hours. I see him for my well-woman care and have found him very capable with that too, although I haven't needed anything beyond annual exams and IUD insertion.
Adele and Melissa, the nurse practitioners, are really nice and his nurses and receptionist are top-notch as well. The phlebotomist at the Grove Hill drawing station (James) is about the best I've ever had - he really does do a painless stick. In general the office does a good job of scheduling; I have usually been taken on time or even a little early. The office is pleasant, well-lit, and clean. read more
