Dr. Darche is our MVP/hero of our first successful and recent pregnancy. Our baby boy was breech…read moreand she was able to successfully turn him at 36 weeks via ECV (basically turning him by pushing him from the outside). She's small but mighty and was a champ in turning the baby with confidence. She knew exactly what she was doing and because of her I was able to have a vaginal birth that we wanted. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. She also delivered our son - my water broke 60 hours before delivery and after 3.5 hours of pushing I had given up until Dr. Darche walked in and coached me to push. If she didn't walk in, I would've given up bc I knew she wasn't going to let me get away without pushing the baby out. She gave me the confidence and strength I needed to push the baby out and did a great job. She's skilled, caring and gets the job done. She's an efficient communicator and has high EQ. One thing I regret is not listening to her advice when I got admitted to the hospital to do the pitocin right away instead of the misoprostol. Then maybe I would've had a less painful and long birth (I had an infection and baby ended up in the NICU for antibiotics for 48 hours as a preventative measure). I had 5 rounds of miso before I dilated so it was a long process. Anyway, I would recommend her to everyone and if you have a breech baby or delivering at 1100 Van Ness, then you better pray that Dr. Darche is on duty! She's a big advocate on vaginal birth - when the others were suggesting c-sections bc our baby was breech and measuring too big (he was estimated to be over 9-10 pounds and ended up being only 8 pounds 5 ounces at full term - 3 days before his due date), Dr. Darche turned him around and coached me through delivery. Also, I liked her response to my question what if the baby turned breech again before delivery - she said she would turn him around again! My husband got a kick out of that statement and I like her confidence. CPMC is lucky to have Dr. Darche.

The office staff was awesome. They made an exception and accepted me as a new patient because I was already planning on having her as my OB. I got an appointment quickly because the staff squeezed me in due to the circumstances. I can't tell you how reassuring Dr. Hutchinson is. I was so nervous for my appointment. Although the ED experience was handled extremely well, I had to get a trans-vaginal and pelvic exam in a matter of an hour. The staff at St. Joes were amazing, but given the circumstances I was not looking forward to another exam. Dr. Hutchinson was so gentle and compassionate. Expressed how sorry she was that I had the miscarriage, but reassured me that she would be there for me every step of the way the next time I get pregnant. After my appointment with her, a lot of my anxiety and fears about having another baby are gone. I am excited to get pregnant again knowing she will be monitoring me the entire way!! I've already recommended to my mom and sisters!

She is direct, answers questions, and listens to concerns, fears, etc. (I am sad to say not all doctors I have encountered are this way). I have had issues over the last few years with an ovary that twisted and a massive cyst. Recently, I had an agonizing experience where my remaining ovary twisted and poured blood into my pelvis and onto my rectum, then hardened. Dr. Brainard operated, removing the two masses of congealed blood, my uterus, remaining ovary and my cervix. It was a complicated, 5 hour surgery, and Dr Brainard even called in another surgeon to help with the issue of unsticking my bowel. They hysterectomy part of the surgery was amazing- the pain management and techniques she uses resulted in NONE of the horrible gas pains I had with my appendectomy and oophorectomy. I am six weeks out from my surgery, and nearly 100% pain-free for the last 2 weeks. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for good OB/GYN The staff at Copperstate are professional, efficient, and respectful. They are being extremely careful in this time of panedemic to ensure temperatures are taken, masks are worn, and limiting the number of people in the office. It completely eased my fears about going into a doctor office during the times of Covid-19.

I really loved my nurse practitioner. She's still there but what was always a busy practice turned into a factory assembly line. The doctors orders don't have any follow through. For example- nurse practitioner says to get a test and return in a month. Front desk at check out says they can't get me in for 6 months. Oh well. Mention it to the nurse practitioner and I get an " I am sorry and I know." Very unacceptable and tough conditions or people who work there. I found someone at Banner who looks at the portal and at least makes things happen. Bye bye Copperstate.

At 3:45 a receptionist in the back yelled to the people in the lobby ( including myself) from her desk that the NP "Suzie" was running 45 min late. I walked to the other receptionist that was infront and asked her if my nurse was "Suzie" . She confirmed that it was. I told her that since she's 45 min late I was going to run an errand down the street( 7 min away, according to GPS) to grab my son a pizza and not have to wait until rush hour. She said this was fine, since the wait was long. I had to be back by 4:30. I was back by 4:15. The lobby was completely cleared. I was told by the receptionist that they tried calling me. My phone never rang. I never received a voicemail, although they said that it went straight to vm. My phone was never off. I was told to sit down and theyd be with me soon. She came back to tell me that my appointment was given to someone else and I had to reschedule. I explained that I was told by two receptionists - including her, that I had a 45 min wait. I made it with plenty of time and drove almost an hour one way to make my appointment. Not only did I drive early in the morning for a work appointment, but I hung out in Tucson the rest of the day for this appointment. It didn't make sense to drive back home and have to return to my appointment and drive home again! This was a complete waste of time and money, plus I announced that I had complications, and a surgery on 7/21 that I would not be able to come in for any appointments. I was assigned bed rest for a week and immediately afterward would start my school year as a teacher at my new school and coaching afterschool. I had zero time for another drs. appointment .

When I arrived at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine location on La Cholla, I was "greeted" by a most rude and unsavory reception staff, in particular the woman who handled taking my payment. I couldn't believe I was being dogged when all I did was walk in the door! This nasty woman told me that my out of pocket cost that day was $359.49 and I would need to pay it before the ultrasound. I pressed on and asked if she was sure that was what I owed and was firmly told yes and if I didn't pay it I would not be seen and of course I paid the $359.49. Two months later I received an EOB from my insurance provider and lo and behold my out of pocket for the testing was not $359.49 it was $111.00 proving the woman at the front desk was wrong and she was a creep and I wonder if she does this to all patients. Young ladies go in there with pregnancy complications, and gynecological health concerns and they're worried and scared and other woman may not have had the $359.49 available at that moment - what happens to those girls? Are they told that they can't be seen unless they pay their co-pay? I can stand up for myself and fortunately I had the funds to cover the purported co-pay but not everyone does! I contacted the Genesis billing office twice and received no response. Between the nasty receptionist and the lack of return calls from billing, I'm sad to think that the practice may be void of personal communication and attention to patient needs OTHER than medical.

I was scheduled for this coming up Tuesday and they just called to cancel it due to scheduling conflict. This is the third time they reschedule me. I am past due for a pap for more than a year and a half. I asked to speak with a manager and they placed me on hold and then they hung up on me. I tried calling back several times and they wouldn't answer. This is some of the worst healthcare "care" I have ever received. I work in healthcare myself and this is totally unacceptable.

I've been telling my Dr that I've been feeling lethargic, tired and lack energy despite boxing four times a week, eating healthy and losing 30 lbs.

Found out I had very low Vitamin D levels (makes sense since I avoid the Sun) and had other blood levels that were out of whack. So several weeks of different therapies to include additional the additional vitamin D and I feel so much better. The best thing about going to Alaris Center is that Dawson really listens to what you have to say and take her time to take a great history. No "in and out in 15 minutes" like with other Drs! I'm very particular with my heath and who I trust with my heath care and Dawson really fits the bill. So if you're looking to lose weight, boost your energy levels I highly suggest you make an appointment to see Dawson at the Alaris Center, you won't be disappointed!
