Associates In Women’s Healthcare

I chose this practice because I heard good things about the doctors here. This is my first pregnancy and have been going here since April. I’ve had good experiences with Dr. Mohr and Dr. Chawla and both would let me record the heartbeat without any issues. Recently, I went to Dr. Gizzie… while she was polite and answered all the questions we asked professionally, I was very disappointed when she said I wasn’t allowed the record our baby’s heartbeat. I realize now I should have asked why but failed to do so. Sometimes, I do feel like just a number here so now I’m thinking bout changing to another practice that would be more sensitive to women going through their first pregnancies.
Most of the staff and nurses there are helpful. There are a few I’ve had that I think just had a bad day but overall, they seem friendly.

I was extremely disapointed with my appointment. It felt like everyone was going through the motions, but no one actually cared.
— i had a concern about my health, and I expressed this to Dr. Gizzie. While she was polite, she completely wrote off my concern without an explanation or any follow up questions. She just tried to push birth control on me as a cure-​all. I also felt that she was somewhat rushing through my exam, this made me uncomfortable with pushing for answers. I still have no idea why my body has suddenly developed this new issue. The pap smear she gave me was quick, and she did not throughly examine me.
— The phlebotomist was rude. She found my vain on the first try, but stuck the needle through my vain (it was like she had no control of the needle) and had to pull back to find blood. I’m an easy stick, and hardly ever walk away from a phlebotomy experience in pain, but I had a bruise for several days.
— the front desk staff is friendly at first, but if you have any issues or concerns to take up with them, just don’t. There is one woman who can become rude and uppity.
I will say that the nurses, overall, where extremely friendly.
I do not feel that this is a competent establishment, and I seriously doubt if many women actually find help here. I will be taking my business elsewhere, as I would advise everyone else to.

I am always satisfied by the level of service I recieve here.

I just moved here and was looking for a new gynecologist /​PCP. Finally got an appointment here with Dr. Jacokes. I will say the front desk staff is incredibly friendly — but pretty much everything after that was a mess. I was on my lunch break and ended up waiting almost 45 minutes after my appointment time. Apparently that is «normal» but as a new patient I had no idea and wasn’t warned. No one seemed phased by it. When I poked my head out to see if I was next, a flustered Dr. Jacokes came in informing me that the woman before me «had a miscarriage and that some people have emergencies.» I was shocked– I felt terrible for that poor woman and her partner– but working in the medical field I found that to be a HIPAA violation and very unprofessional. Plus, it made me feel guilty for inquiring about why my appointment was 45 minutes late. A simple «sorry about the wait» would have sufficed. This set the tone for the rest of the appointment.
I was a new patient, so I had a lot of questions. I felt rushed the entire time. Several times I was dismissed and had to remind her I was experiencing certain symptoms. By the end of the hurried appointment, I was reminding her to do a breast exam and give me a test– two things I wouldn’t think a gynecologist needs to be reminded of. Perhaps it was an off day for Dr. Jacokes, but I left feeling like nothing I said was taken seriously which made me feel awful. By far the worst first appointment I’ve ever had.
On the upside, the front desk woman was very kind as I was leaving. She apologized for the experience as she could tell I was pretty upset. I really appreciated that.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Moody’s for 18 years, delivered four children including twins and am extremely pleased with the level of care I have received. I would highly recommend this practice as all the doctors and nurses are skilled and they care.

I honestly liked the all female staff and I liked how they seemed caring and knowledgable but I had to transfer out because I relocated to another county. I realized some of the concerns I told the doctors at this office did not really get tested they just told me it was normal but my new doctor at another office checked and found out that I had an infection that could lead to premature labor if not treated! I don’t know why they did not check me when I complained about my discomforts. They also seem to be in a rush all the time.

I had an appointment scheduled and when I arrived they informed me that I was not on the calendar for today. Instead I was scheduled at a different date and time. I had a hand written appointment card from their staff with today’s date and time. They said that when they made the appointment they must have wrote down another person’s time. However, I specifically made this appointment knowing I would be off work. Now, I have to take another day off work and go to different appointment. I don’t think so!!!

Now I know that no one really wants to hear about anyone’s trip to the gyno. Except maybe someone looking for a new gyno — which is probably someone who knows that the good ones are hard to find. This is one of the good ones.
Things to know…
— They use digichart, so you have to go online and do your medical history. You can do it there if you show up early or do it from home. And they save it, so updating annually takes just a few minutes.
— I have seen two different docs over the last few years. Both are excellent. Efficient and personable.
— The front desk staff are pretty accommodating. I messed up my appointment time this last visit and they accommodated me.
— They don’t take all insurances, so check before going.
— While it’s usually in and out within a half hour, they occasionally overbook their rooms and you get stuck in between the nurse and the doc. Not nearly the delays I have experienced elsewhere.

I literally could not rave more about Associates in Women’s healthcare (AWH). I was referred to AWH about 5 years ago when my gyno retired and I was looking for a new practice. The practice consisted of 5 providers, one whom I see: Dr. Mohr. Luckily, I only have to see her once a year but she remembers me and is always warm and friendly. If she doesn’t remember me then she is a great actor and takes good notes and that is fine by me!
I read other reviews about the staff not being friendly and I have to say that I have never had a poor experience here. The staff are the same as they were 5 years ago which is VERY rare. Most practices have high turnover rates where you have no idea who you are talking to from one visit to the next. At AWH, this is not the case.
I always receive prompt calls with lab results and have never had anyone drop the ball with anything I have called to question about.
Great group of ladies at AWH!

I just moved back to the Triangle area and of course, it was time for my annual. Finding an OBGYN has always been a grueling process for me because I move around a lot. But I have to say, these people are probably the best group I have ever been to. First, the office assistant at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming. She got everything ready for me to go back to see the doc. The second women that took my into the back for my vitals and what not was also very nice. I wasn’t quite sure which pharmacy to choose so she did everything she could to find the closest to my house. The nurse for Dr. Gizzi was wonderful. And Dr. Gizzi herself… so personable. I have not been able to find an doc that has such good bedside manner. I will definitely go back to this group of wonderful women for all my womanly needs. Hopefully, when my fiancée and I decide to start a family they will be there to help me along the way. These are people that I would want to have around for sure. I was in and out of the office in an hour which was super nice. I’ve had to wait at other places for well over three hours before. Oh and by the way… their address has changed from what you see here. They are now located at:
901 Ridgefield Dr.
Raleigh, NC 27 609

Having moved here in 1998 and needing this kind of doctor, I started out gong to another practice that I found impersonal and not to my liking. I can only speak from the standpoint of not having any major problems or bearing a child during the years I have gone here, but find these doctors to be warm and caring and gentle. Their new office is very nice too.

In my 10+ years in the Triangle, I’ve been to quite a few gynecologists. I won’t say that any of them were bad. I won’t say that any are unprofessional. I’ll just say that I’m elated with Associates in Women’s Healthcare.
A friend recommended Associates to me back in 2007. I made an appointment with Dr. Jacokes, but she couldn’t see me on the day I was scheduled, so I met with Dr. Mohr.
Associates are located off of Wake Forest Rd. (right after Falls of the Neuse changes to WF Rd.) in a nice office building, on the second floor. The lobby is nice, clean and the receptionist is possibly one of the nicest people that I’ve ever met in my life.
I saw Dr. Mohr and felt very comfortable with her. She was straight-​talking and down-​to-​earth with me. My visit was very quick and positive.
I continued to see Dr. Mohr for my annual check-​ups and was very happy with her.
A year later, I went in for pre-​pregnancy counseling only to find out that we’d gotten pregnant. We were thrilled! Dr. Mohr’s planned pre-​pregnancy counseling quickly became my first prenatal visit.
I returned for a meeting with their insurance coordinator, and for another prenatal visit with my husband to review my care and what to expect for the next few months.
Associates gave me so much information and attention. I began my monthly appointments in rotation with all five physicians. I wasn’t crazy about seeing other doctors initially, but later learned that each of the doctors at Associates are a first rate professional. I liked each of them for different reasons on my subsequent visits. I began going twice monthly and then once each week. Doctors Moody, Chawla, Mohr, Gizzie and Jacokes became an extended family to us.
I called after hours twice during my pregnancy. Both calls were handled with immediate attention and care. I had a very smooth pregnancy and felt totally supported by these women.
Dr. Chawla delivered our daughter and was very nice to work with in the hospital.
Each day we were in the hospital, one of the doctors came in and spent some time with me.
I recently returned for my six week follow up. I saw Dr. Moody and had another positive experience.
I highly recommend Associates if you’re shopping for a new gynecologist or ob-​gyn.
Let’s face it. These things are never fun, but they should be positive, professional and pleasant.

The staff here is not very nice.
Not the kind of environment you need when you are pregnant, or having a health problem.
Their nurse made me cry; and then trying to transfer my records was a total nightmare that took almost a month.
Ladies, just don’t don’t ever go here.
