    Great experience! This was my first visit and I was out in 30 minutes - pretty unheard of for…read moredoctors appointments! Front desk staff was super nice and I really liked Dr. Ho. Bonus: they have spindrift in the waiting room!

    If you're going to have your baby delivered at a major hospital, I highly recommend going to an…read moreOB-GYN at that hospital who will also be the one to deliver the baby. Please do not risk your pregnancy care at this dingy clinic with "obgyns" who, I believe, have dubious credentials. I will list my issues below - 1. Drs don't do the ultrasound. I suppose the OB-GYNs at this little clinic are busier than those at Mount Sinai because, instead of the doctor walking you through the ultrasound showing the baby and heartbeat, etc., they send a technician. They don't share what they see on the screen at all, and what is supposed to be a joyful experience (seeing your baby for the first time) ends up being cold and unnatural. During my first ultrasound, they said I "might" have an ectopic pregnancy, but no imaging or video was shown to support this. I didn't have anything to take to another doctor for a second opinion except for the doctor's word that she "might" have seen something. 2. money-grabbing practice designed to charge you as much as possible with unnecessary lab tests. Again, after saying I have an ectopic pregnancy with no proof whatsoever, they told me to come every two days for hCG testing. On top of that, I was being charged for several other tests I had no idea what for, and they were going to town billing my insurance. 3. Rude, unqualified, and lazy staff This place has some of the rudest and laziest staff I have ever encountered anywhere. The front desk staff is obviously out of shape and considers any task that requires them to get up from the chairs they've slumped in an utter inconvenience. I asked a staff member to confirm with the doctor before booking my next appointment, and she started huffing and puffing because, god forbid, I forced her to get up from her chair, and treated me with a very disrespectful demeanor. Ultimately, pureobgyn might be good for a pap smear now and then, but please, please, do not trust this place with something as delicate as your pregnancy. Pregnancy is supposed to be a very optimistic and joyful time, and trust me, pureobgyn is the exact opposite of that, and will suck all the happiness out of your pregnancy. I am now with a new OB-GYN at Mount Sinai, who will also deliver my baby, and my experience is night and day.

    Nettle came to us from a trusted recommendation and we have already passed it along to everyone we…read moreknow starting their birthing journey. We are forever grateful for Jo and Jenna's thoughtful and enthusiastic care and support. Every visit, phone call, text, etc was always particular and intimate to our own story while being backed by informed, professional advice and conversation. From billing support to postpartum visits in their new gorgeous office, Nettle made this process easy in a medical landscape that can often be so opaque and overwhelming. As a sporadic doula, I'm lucky enough to have been present at several births and they offer a level of care that I didn't know existed. We were fortunate to have an incredible home birth in our barely one bedroom apartment and throughout felt supported but empowered, nurtured but independent. From the first meeting we knew it was the only way, and they were there for us every step. Both pre and post natal care (not to mention labor and birth support) were approached with attentiveness, warmth, and joyful tenderness. I've carried their philosophy with me into parenthood and find myself asking WW(Jo/Jenna)D for decisions beyond the health of our baby girl and myself. Their sage advice and general outlook on all things birthing and beyond offer a lovely bedrock for this new phase. Briefly, we cannot recommend them highly enough. We love you Jo and Jenna and the whole Nettle crew!

I had the home birth I was hoping for, and never for a second felt like I wasn't in the best hands possible. My experience with them was transformative. If you want to feel supported, heard, understood, if you want to ask questions without fear of feeling annoying, if you want your appointments to feel like the focus is 100% on you, this is the place to go.

    This is a very late review considering I gave birth to my first child in 2022 but I thought this…read morewas still a very necessary experience to share. I actually called to make an appointment for another day but they told me there was availability today at 2:45 PM. They said, "don't be late". So I wasn't. I left work, thinking I can be back soon. Long and behold, I waited for 4 hours before I was able to see a doctor. I did not get back to work until the work day was over! My pregnancy at the time was very stressful for me. I was constantly spotting, was passing blood clots and was straight up bleeding later on in the game. Mind you, one of my clots had me thinking that I lost my baby -- it was the size of a golf ball. The doctorS were pretty dismissive about my spotting situation and did not even try looking into it. So many of my friends and even my sister was asking me -- why didn't they send you in for a scan or send you to a specialist to try figuring out what was wrong? It was only later on when I was straight up bleeding that they took me seriously and sent me over to the hospital to get a steroid shot since it was then much closer to my due date. Some time later it was finally time to deliver the baby. I was thankful to Dr. Karen that she decided to keep me at the hospital because the nurse was thinking about sending me away since she did not believe that my water broke (it did). However, it was a different doctor that did the delivery. It was a very fast delivery. I only pushed for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I think they screwed up the stitching on me. I had this weird, uncomfortable and sometimes even painful skin hanging on me until my new doctor from another clinic assisted with my second pregnancy (so glad that I decided to go elsewhere).

However, they will let you wait more than 45 mins in the doctor's office and blame you if you come a bit early.
