Generations OB-GYN

I really appreciate that they were able to get me in with short notice because I was experiencing urgent symptoms. Truly helped give me a piece of mind.

I started going here based on a friend’s recommendation after finding out I was pregnant. So far I have been in the office twice and everyone has been very friendly and helpful. The office is very comfortable and they have a lot of appointment times to choose from!
My first appointment I met with nurse Erin, she was very thorough and answered all of my questions. The second appointment I had an ultrasound and met with the new doctor, Dr. Sobolewski. He took the time to welcome me to the practice and answer questions/​go over my ultrasound before making me change into that uncomfortable paper gown (which I thought was very nice).
So far I am very glad with my choice to start going here! It’s also a bonus that they do ultrasounds and blood work on site!

I didn’t have an on/​gyn when I got pregnant because of a recent move so I picked Generations based on its close proximity and reviews I read. I am SO glad I did! During the pregnancy there are a ton on appointments so I was thankful I felt completely at ease with all the nurses and doctors. I never had an issue booking appointments at a time that worked for me. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen (except for ultrasounds — there was a long gap between Dr and ultrasound tech visit).
My husband came along to every single monthly appointment and he felt comfortable in the office. Dr. Lippincot delivered my baby and she was AWESOME! I had a lot of anxiety about the awkwardness of giving birth and was nervous about all the things that could go wrong but felt so at ease with her. But really, any of the dr’s would have been fantastic! It was nice to not be concerned about who was on call. Dr Dykowski is my husbands favorite — he has great bedside manner and relaxes patients with his humor.
If you’re looking for an ob/​gyn go to Generations! I can’t express how happy I was I chose them nor how thankful I am for the great care I received during my pregnancy!

I am a new patient at Generations as I recently found out I am pregnant. My husband and I had out 1^st prenatal appointment with Nurse Kate today and it was truly a wonderful experience! Nurse Kate took all the time needed to go over EVERYTHING. I went in with a HUGE list of questions to ask and at the end of the appointment, I only needed to ask a few because she had already covered all of my questions/​concerns before even asking them. We were there for about an hour and a half and she did not seem one bit concerned about the amount of time we were taking. I look forward to meeting the Doctors in the practice and working with them during my pregnancy!

The office really does feel like you have an appointment at the spa. Has to be the fanciest doctors office I have ever been to. This wasn’t the ideal visit for me since we just moved from out of state during the middle of my pregnancy. I heard a lot of great things about Dr. Loehrke. She was super friendly but I couldn’t help but feel the appointment was semi rushed. That or maybe she’s just a fast talker. LOL I’m not really sure. With the first appointment they usually last longer than your average 15 minute appt but this one was fairly quick. I still need to rotate between the rest of the doctors in the practice so we will see how it goes.

I love Generations. The office feels like a spa. The doctors are very professional. They put you at ease during awkward exams. The appointments are quick; they don’t leave you sitting in the waiting room. They also don’t make you sit forever waiting for the doctor to come in while you are wearing a paper gown. They are fast, but the doctors will answer all of your questions. I appreciate that any necessary blood work can be done in the same building.

We are so pleased with the care we received from Cheryl Thompson, PA. After dealing with uncomfortable symptoms for over two years, she was able to diagnosis a thyroid imbalance in my daughter in one day. The office is beautiful, the staff is courteous and profession and Cheryl Thompson is amazing. She is truly our hero.

Dr. Loehrke is the most patient human being I have ever met! When I first started going there, I had a lot of anxiety due to a bad experience elsewhere.
At Generations, I am never waiting more than 10 minutes to be seen. Although I am seen quickly, I never feel that my time with the doctor is rushed. She always makes sure my questions are answered. If I have elaborate questions (like one day I wanted to know all about cesarians vs. vaginal birth and the pros and cons of each), she sets up time for a phone call with me later on… my questions get answered, but she’s still able to stay «on schedule» and not inconvenience the other patients. She is gentle, and gives the quickest pap smear I have ever seen (my old doctor at a different establishment took forever to do this, shined a bright light on my pubic region, and complained that I kept scooting my butt up the table; she wouldn’t do anything until I would «sit still.» I felt like I was under interrogation!) I have never gotten that feeling or impression with Dr. Loerkhe. She’s very. dignifed about the whole awkward experience.
The entire ambiance of the building feels like a spa (not hospital-​esque). And there actually is a Med-​Spa next door, so you can make a day of it and reward yourself with a massage and lunch in downtown Birmingham.
I would highly recommend Generations Ob Gyn. If you are able to get in with Dr. Jaime Loehrke especially, I would recommend that you do so. She is great.
Unlike what others have posted, I have never had an issue reaching the office or getting an appointment.

No kids, so I use it strictly for gyno issues, but really like the place. I have been seeing Dr Jamie Loehrke (I used to see Cynthia Paige but she is out on extended medical) and they are both great. Super easy to talk to, appointments fly by.
I love how quickly they get you in and out. The office is super efficient, and now they have mammograms and a clinic for blood draws in the same building. Soooooo much easier.
The office is pro-​NovaSure (Endometrial Ablation). I know a decent sampling of ppl who have had the procedure with varied results. I’m not a huge fan — just for an opinion in case youre considering.

So, after I wrote my Unilocal review, I did receive an email from the office manager apologizing for all of the problems and looking to resolve the issues. That was the Generations I knew and loved from years past — above and beyond.

I used this place as my gyno for a couple of years, and more recently they were also my ob. I hate going to the gyno — who doesn’t? But this place actually made the experience more comfortable, and I no longer dread going.
They just recently moved out of their office tower on Old Woodward and now have their own place on Woodward just north of Maple. The new place is very nice, although they had been working out the kinks still the last time I visited.
The staff is all quite friendly and were accomodating with my schedule. The nurses were all very personable and when I started going regularly for my ob appointments late in my pregnancy, it was nice to have them remember me and remember conversations they had with me.
If you are using this place solely as a gyno– I believe you can easily request to have the same doctor every time. I have seen most of the doctors there and can say that they are all very professional and have never made me feel uncomfortable.
Being pregnant for the first time and planning to have a normal delivery, they have you meet with every doctor at least once during your prenatal visits. I know some people want to meet with the same doctor every time and have that be the doctor who delivers their baby– so this situation might not be favorable for some. In all practicality, there is no guarantee that your doctor will be available when you go into labor– Babies make up their own minds about when they want to come into the world, and that might not always coincide with your preferred doctors schedule. I think Generations decision to cycle you through all of their doctors is a good one– and I was guaranteed to have met the doctor who was helping me with labor/​delivery at least once. If you are having a planned C-​section, I am sure you then have the option of picking the doctor that you are most comfortable with and having them be your sole ob.
Generations has you meet with their nurse early in your pregnancy and again at about the mid-​way point to talk about various aspects of pregnancy and also about what to do once the baby comes! Nurse Kate is the one who is mostly responsible for these meetings, and she is fantastic. She is very friendly, informative and reassuring.
I think Dr. Dykowski is my favorite doctor– he makes me laugh and I enjoy laughing. It is amazing to be comfortable enough at your ob-​gyn office to laugh! Dr. Dean is the doctor that I met with the most in my last couple of prenatal visits, and he also was my delivery doctor. He was great.
Last but not least– my new insurance was a little picky about what they cover and what they don’t. I had other friends at work who had their insurance reject ultrasounds as not being a necessary procedure. I’m not sure what Generations does in their medical billing– but I did not have a single problem getting everything covered with the exception of occasional office visit charges or lab fees.

Love this place. When I moved back home from Ann Arbor, I faced a problem many like me have faced… where do I find a good gyno? I mean really, this isn’t the type of thing to take lightly. You want to feel comfortable and trust all your doctors, particularly this kind of doctor. Since my mother’s recommendation was the man who delivered me and is in many way pretty much an uncle to me, he was out. Then there were all the ones who work with my father, but they felt a little too close for comfort. I mean I love that my dad is a doctor in pretty much all other areas of my medical needs, but I don’t really want him to be buddy buddy with my gyno. So that left me with one final option… ask my friends.
So the first friend I asked suggested Generations. She said she really liked her doctor and the clinic, and that she actually found out about this place through our other friend. I already felt confidant in wanting to schedule an appointment, but I still asked our other friend about it. She said she did not go there anymore because of a change in insurance, but that she loved that place and her mom loved that place and that I should definitely go. So I scheduled my appointment.
When I went there, the staff was really friendly and the office was really nice. Now maybe it shouldn’t matter what a place looks like (and I mean if the doctor was terrible it wouldn’t have), but it made me happy that is was a nice clinic. It was pretty and clean. Sitting in the waiting area, I felt like I was going to be catered to or something.
The nurse who took me back to my room was very friendly. Then there was my doctor. She was sweet and young and cute. She was probably in her early 30s, but she didn’t seem inexperienced or anything. Looking back, I easily could’ve been uncomfortable with her because of her youth, but I wasn’t. There was something very easing about her presence. Not only did I trust her, but I felt like we could relate to each other, which I think is especially important when it comes to a doctor of such an intimate nature. She was very professional, but she was also just enough of a friend to make the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable (relatively speaking, of course, because how enjoyable can a gyno appointment really be?).
In sum, I would definitely, without hesitation recommend this place to anyone who has compatible insurance. I’m going back next month, so I’ll let you guys know if my high recommendation changes.
