Women’s Health Specialists

I have been going to this practice for years and love the warm, family feeling I get from the physicians and staff. They were quick to diagnose my condition and start the appropriate treatment. They are great at addressing my concerns. Dr. Funkhauser is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to! I have recommended several of my friends here and know they have all been happy with my referral.

If you like to think and have questions about your health, this isn’t the place for you. i was really rushed and I actually had a nurse practitioner reply to my question with «I don’t care», when I asked her about a supplement women were taking for PCOs that there were some recent studies on. After all that, she only called in one of my two prescriptions I needed. This is the reason patients feel like they need to advocate for their own health and to do research on their own. If you don’t want patients coming in with solutions, maybe try having the patience to answer their questions.

Update: Spoke with office manager. She was rude and incompetent and told me that my wife rescheduled 4 or 5 times (which is a lie) and not welcome anymore. I said she had her reason s to reschedule 2 times and needs urgent help now and that she was referred to this doctor by her friend. Manager then told me they will not ever take her and not to call them anymore.
Stay out of this place.

New resident from out of state. Refused an appointment because I’m more than 26 weeks along.

Unfortunately, this practice is not what I had hoped for with my overall pregnancy care. My original doctor was caring and considerate in the beginning when I first went 10 years ago. When I found out I was pregnant, I had some anxiety when going to the appointments which raised my blood pressure. I was told I was would have more customized care and tracked my bp at home… yet each time they would force me to slip on the cuff and try to get a reading.
While I understand the importance, it made my appointments nerve-​wrecking and stressful instead of a pleasant experience.
One of the nurse practitioners was extremely intense telling us what we SHOULD with vaccinations and so forth. Even my husband, who was calm and collected, was angered because of her tone towards us and the fact that I couldn’t even ask a question.
I had another doctor talk to me as if I was a 16 year-​old clueless high-​schooler who basically seemed annoyed that I attended a low intervention birthing class. She told me: «With your blood pressure, low intervention might not be for you.» I totally had the wind taken out of my sails. Yes, I was realistic about my health, but why not best prepare as a first time mother? It was really the moment I wanted to chance practices, but stuck it out since I was so far along…
Another incident: I caught a really bad cold/​flu during my pregnancy in January. When I called during their «off hours» to ask about cold meds… Dr. Snow answered and was totally rude/​short (despite being told that as a patient, they were available to me 24 hours a day). I felt really foolish for calling although every body told me to call to make sure I was taking the right medication/​dosage.
I went into labor at 3 in the morning and when I called, the sleepy answering service guy told me the doctor would call back in 15 min. 30 min past, so I called back… he was surprised they didn’t call back. They finally called me back as we were on the way…
Overall, it is just not worth it for me to stay there if it means rotating between all the doctors. Towards the end, we had long wait times despite our appointments being short check-​ups. I am over it.

As a first time mother to be I was extremely dissatisfied and uneasy when I called to schedule my first appointment and was told that I had to be 9 weeks for them to see me. All of my friends’ doctors saw them the day they found out they were expecting (usually 4 weeks). But I was loyal to my Dr. who I had seen at the practice for my annual exams. I spent the first 5 weeks of my pregnancy anxiously awaiting the appointment, praying that my baby was healthy. The next shocker was even though I loved my Dr. so much, chances were I wouldn’t even see her during my pregnancy. I was required to see all of the doctors in the practice, even the male doctor. At my 9 week appointment we were eagerly awaiting the moment all first to be parents do, to hear the heartbeat. So we were extremely let down when the Dr. told us we wouldn’t be able to hear it until the next appointment. We met with Dr. for our first appointment. She was causal, inappropriate and rushed us through the appointment, and as first time parents we had some serious questions and concerns. At one point she asked me if my «tits» hurt. Not the medical term I was expecting from a Dr. who could possibly deliver my child. She also asked my husband why he hadn’t asked her if he could have sex with me during the pregnancy. Again, not really something we were thinking about at our first prenatal appointment. She also blatantly did not agree with our decision to not test for Down’s Syndrome. But what really was the tip of the iceburg was when Dr. told me to come back at 12 weeks. I assumed as I was told, that this would be the appointment where I could hear my child’s heartbeat. However, when we arrived for the long-​awaited appointment the Dr. asked us why we were there and told us that they couldn’t hear the heartbeat until 14 weeks, yet another lie as many of my friends and family members heard the heartbeat as early as 8 weeks. So we left work early, drove all the way to the office, and were turned away, even though the Dr. was the one who told me to schedule a 12 week appointment. They didn’t even apologize. I am taking my business elsewhere and would never recommend this product to my friends or family.
If you want relaxed, unprofessional, trying to act cool, doctors that will see you way after the normal medical protocols for pregnancy, then this is the practice for you.

Generally, am pleased with this practice. Started coming here when I learned I was pregnant and have seen all the docs in the practice. They are punctual, knowledgable and friendly.
Dr.‘s Scanus, Snow & Funkhauser are fantastic and Shelly the nurse is the best!

Every time I call it takes at least 20 minutes for someone to answer. When I had an appointment with Dr. Snow, she literally took 10 minutes. She didn’t tell me what was going on, and it didn’t seem like any of my issues were taken into account. She kind of brushed off what I said, and prescribed me a new birth control. What she did not tell me was that the birth control was $ 60 a month, even with good insurance coverage. I had better, and more comprehensive, checkups at Planned Parenthood.
