What a lovely experience. I left smiling and satisfied with my experience. Everyone was super warm and helpful. They all made me feel very comfortable. This was my first time there and I loved how clean the entire grounds was and Show morei appreciated that the place did not have a weird smell or stinch like some other MD offices tend to have. Very cozy couches/ chairs nestled at different areas of office was great as my husband enjoyed them. The bathrooms were clean. I waited quite a bit for each professional I saw today however that was not a bother to me because I am one who values service and how I'm treated. So I don't mind to be there all day as long as I get great customer service and caring professionals; all of which I got here at Artemis OB-GYN. From the secretary, to amber ( I can't recall her title- she might have been the medical tech), to lisa my sonogram tech down to Myqueesha, CNM were Great. Myqueesha was wonderful I loved how she was able to make me and my husband laugh a bit as we were both nervous. Myqueesha is well versed in her field and down to earth. She made me feel very comfortable. She went out her way to give me extra information on the birthing center which I was curious about. She was thorough and gave me a chance to ask questions for my concerns. A MAJOR plus for me was to see women of african descent and other women of color; women who looked like me providing me with care which is often underepresented in the medical world. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a pregnancy/birthing journey that uses other frameworks aside from a strict conventional medical model regarding pregnancy and birth. I would recommend Artemis to anyone who values great customer service, caring professionals and a clean and comfortable office space. Elated for my next appointment!
My recent visit was met by a warm and helpful receptionist, Natalie who assisted me with setting up the correct appointments and patiently guided me through the complications with my insurance. All the clinical technicians and intShow moreake nurses were kind and thorough. Finally, the consultation with Sarah Van Buren went well. She was compassionate and listened carefully to my concerns. She was certain to ask if there was anything else I needed and patiently walked me through each step. From start to finish, my experience was met by a wonderful diverse group of women who truly care for their patients; women who are respectful and kind; and women who take their role as healthcare providers seriously. Thank you Artemis Ob-gyn Team.

My experience with her was excellent and I would recommend her to to my friends.thank you
She made me feel comfortable, heard, and valued.
She is very professional, and personable. I really enjoyed having her as a part of my prenatal health care.
My experience with Artemis OB office is always amazing the staff makes sure you feel comfortable and easy to talk to. Chima is nothing but AMAZING I always feel as if I was speaking to one of my friends during my pregnancy. I’m thankful and happy she helped deliver my son and made sure I was comfortable & safe the entire time she listened to all my needs and concerns making sure my questions were answered. She’s an amazing & genuine soul whomever in her care has no reason to worry they’re in good hands.
Professional and friendly staff. On time service, questions answered clearly, advice given. Clean welcoming environment.
Dr. Chidera has such a warm and caring bedside manner. She’s a great listener, I never feel rushed during my appointments. As a first time mom, I felt a little anxious but Dr. Chidera helped put me at ease. Her calm reassurance and wealth of knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth made the whole experience much less overwhelming. Overall, the entire staff at this practice is incredible especially Maria. Always treated with kindness and respect. Love it here.
Chidera is kind, nurturing and I'm excited she will be delivering my baby! I appreciate you and I'm grateful to have found this practice. Thank you Chidera! Thank you Dr. Pemberton for creating a practice like this!!!

Very good
Nurse practionier Fiona was very engaging, welcoming personality. In fact all of the staff were very warm and professional. I lovevthe decor of the office. Nice and clean and pleasing to the eye. Overall a great experience. They could improve on answering the secure messages, it often takes serial calls and several emails before the issue is resolved. Much better experience face to face
Very personable, good explanations & knowledgable
Sarah is always so attentive. She listens carefully and responds thoughtfully.
