Dr. Bowens is the best! She really cares for her patients and her staff treats me like family. This…read moreis a very busy practice that definitely still takes the time to listen and hear the patients. The practice provides up-to-date and new, innovative testing for patients as well which is important. I have been going to Dr. Bowens for over three years now and will continue to go given my experience with her. She is kind, good bedside manner, and truly values her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Bowens!!

This woman is an absolute disgrace to the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Her office is…read morechaotic, it's a terrible place for a pregnant woman to be at any time during her pregnancy. They send you into a bathroom to give your urine sample. The bathroom is the size of a shoebox with absolutely no room for the growing pregnant body. To top it off they over schedule over book, and you are going to be communicating with at least four or five people just to get from the front desk into your appointment. The rooms are tiny. She will not spend any more than 15 minutes with you at your appointment. She is stuck in her ways, stubborn, and has not grown as a doctor in however, many years she's been practicing. Do everything you possibly can to avoid working with this doctor. at my 37 week appointment in 95° weather, I mentioned that I was feeling tired. Her response was it's because you're gaining too much weight. Now mind you, she has never asked me about my nutrition about my exercise. She never even checked to see what my pre-pregnancy weight was. She never checked to see if I had any eating disorders or anything that might be affecting my weight. She simply said your weight is just too much to be healthy. Never did any investigating to find out anything about me. I am an extremely healthy and active person. And have only gained 40 pounds during this pregnancy. I'm nine months pregnant, of course I'm tired. That is to be expected when you were nine months pregnant. Again, I would never recommend this office or this alleged doctor to anyone. She is absolutely terrible. Her office is absolutely terrible and she should not be touching any woman's body or working with anyone.

I used LCoMH to deliver all 6 of my babies. I was pregnant with my 7th one and found out I had to…read moredeliver at St. Francis. I've never been to this hospital so I didn't know what to expect and was nervous about whether or not I'll receive the same care as I did from LCoMH. Went in to get induced recommended by my OB doctor @ 37 wks. I'm 42 and was shocked to find out I was expecting 8 years later from my last pregnancy. So here I am. My room wasn't ready so I waited in the Triage for a few hours and finally my room was ready in Labor & Delivery. The staff were amazing! The RN's, nurses, anesthesiologists, doctors, etc. you are appreciated! Thank you! The rooms were clean, showers were clean. Nurses are friendly and are attentive to your every need. I was amazed at the service I received. Then after I delivered the baby, I was moved downstairs to the postpartum dept. and stayed for 2 days. They were on time with meals and snacks. Enjoyed talking with one of the Filipino nurses who gave me her recipe to make Chicken Adobo. They give you 2 celebratory meals for you and your spouse. You need anything at all they will come to you with the things you asked for. Great hospital and great hospitality. Thank you St. Francis for making my stay very comfortable.

Unsure if my review was posted on google . But I wanted to go ahead and talk about the service here…read more. First and foremost, I'm incredibly shocked at the low reviews. And I think it's kind of funny people are expecting so much from a place that is there to help them and their babies . Ultrasound techs are not allowed to give you so much information. That's just something you go over with the doctor. I'm also confused why people are mad that they can not get fancy ultrasound pictures when it's not a place for 4D ultrasounds . It's literally a place that monitors your and your baby's health . Anyways, aside from acknowledging those things . I think my service here has been great thus far . Ultrasound techs are sweet and friendly & one of them remembers me when I come . Front desk is also friendly & the doctor is extremely informative and makes me feel comfortable. He also communicates with my OBGYN so I thought that was great ! Although, some wait times can be ridiculously long , I tend to try to come on days I'm available completely. Front desks ASKS you for your availability, so I'm also confused as to why people are mad /upset about that when it's based of YOUR availability. I think the only negative thing here is a specific nurse who can come off as rude/ unprofessional. However, everyone else seems friendly and respectful. I am content with coming here . Thank you Maternal fetal medicine!

I've literally called 30 times and from all those times only twice have they answered and every other time is says they're closed when the it says they're supposed to be open. This is unbelievable and frustrating.

I've been coming to this hospital since 2017, nearly a decade, and after my family's experiences, I…read morewill never willingly return. The one exception was the doctor who cared for my Abuelito when he was taken off life support. He was incredibly compassionate and even prayed with our family. I will forever appreciate him. Unfortunately, my experiences with many other staff members were the complete opposite--rude attitudes, eye rolling, and acting annoyed simply because we asked questions about my grandfather's care. One experience I will never forget happened during the month my Abuelito was hospitalized. As a single mother, I brought my two toddlers to visit him. We were allowed upstairs, they weren't causing problems, and when we were asked to leave because of visitor policies, I had no issue with it. I only asked for an update on my grandfather before leaving. Afterward, I returned because I forgot something and overheard his nurse standing outside his room saying, "Who brings babies into a hospital? So dumb." She didn't realize I was standing behind her. When I told her that talking about a patient's family right outside his room was inappropriate, another nurse threatened to call security because I was supposedly being "hostile." What makes this heartbreaking is that this ended up being the last time my children ever saw their great-grandfather. A few days later, he passed away. Healthcare workers are human and I understand difficult days--I work in customer service myself. But there is a time and place to vent. Patients and their families deserve basic dignity and compassion. What may be a forgettable interaction during someone's shift can become a memory a grieving family carries forever.
