I got in very quick with their new provider, Carrie Schaefer NP and the visit was wonderful! Upon entering, the front desk staff was lively and welcoming. Carrie’s bedside manner was very comforting while still maintaining professionalism. From the questions she asked to the labs she chose, she was extremely thorough in her decisions and explained every step of the exam to ensure my comfort without sounding like a textbook read haha. She truly crafted a safe and much less scary medical environment in such a sensitive branch of the medical field. She seems to be an amazing addition to the facility!

Dr. Patel is very thorough. She takes the time to explain each and every step of your visit to make you feel comfortable as possible. For me it’s a struggle to go a gynecologist. Even in my 60’s I struggle. However, I have seen Dr. Patel for several years and will continue. Her staff is supportive and accommodating. She offers expert advice and makes the visit smooth and successful. I highly recommend!

Dr. Patel was amazing. Her bedside manners were above what I expected. Calmed me before the surgery. She explained everything clearly to me and my family. Kept them updated during the surgery.

This was my first appointment but Dr. Patel was highly recommended. Everything about my visit went really well. Intake was easy, I was called back promptly and they use cloth gowns for exams. Dr. Patel was super friendly and easy to talk to. I left with a great feeling of confidence and peace knowing I found my new specialist!

I have seen Dr. Patel for five years now, and recently she cared for us throughout my pregnancy and delivery of my first child. She has always been extremely thorough with any questions I've had, and explains things to my understanding. I trust her judgement, and know that she is truly caring for me as an individual and not just another patient. Always professional, friendly, and informed.
