I usually see Laney and she is wonderful. I recently saw Angie and it was the worst medical experience I have ever had. She never took the time to connect the dots or explain what was going on. She wrote me a prescription for my sShow moreymptoms and sent me on my way. As my concerns grew and symptoms worsened she grew rude and impatient with me online. She displayed zero empathy and acted like I was a nuisance. I saw a doctor at GHC a few days later who immediately connected the dots with what was occurring and was able to identify the root of the problem and not just treat the symptoms. I will never see Angie again. I have referred several friends to your practice over the years and will continue to do so but I will tell them to steer clear of Angie for many reasons.
Any OB team may seem great if your pregnancy is perfect but you truly find out if your team is top notch when you have a pregnancy loss. I have only positive things to say about Dr. Cardwell and the entire team at Physicians forShow more Women. They handled our stillbirth with empathy and understanding. Their entire clinic grieved with us and now are helping us with the steps to move forward with a future pregnancy. I feel truly connected with this team and know they have our best interests at heart. I recommend this clinic to every woman I know because every woman deserves to be cared for during times of struggle as I have been by Physicians for Women. Thank you for all that you do!

Always kind and compassionate care!
Christine is an attentive listener, kind, caring, and wonderful. She’s the best hands down and id recommend her as a primary care physician and a midwife. Anyone would be lucky to have her.
Very empathic. Great listener
I love Angela
Wonderful NPs here! Love Angela and Laney. They make you feel so welcome and cared for.
They talked me through everything and were super kind and reassuring.
What a wonderful place. They made me feel very comfortable.
Everyone was very nice and answered all of our questions.
Always *really* listens to my concerns and makes me an active participant in my care. I feel heard and would recommend my provider (Angela) to anyone needing a primary provider.
Excellent
Great to have this option for my pregnancy! Availability for appointments has been spotty but hope it improves with another midwife joining soon. Also wish it was closer to me.
Very welcoming and kind staff! I do feel rushed during my appointments however. I understand there is a schedule to follow. Overall, comfortable and trusting in the care provided!
Excellent care, took the time to listen and answered all my questions.
Good
They are just great to work with !
Christine was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly during my first prenatal appointment. I’d highly recommend her!
I always feel like I am being heard by my Dr. She is always pleasant and has a great bedside manner.
Angela really listened to me and went the extra mile to figure out our next step.
Angela made me feel at ease while discussing the reason for my visit.
Angela Lothe is easy to talk to, listens to all my concerns:comments, and answers all my questions in easy to understand terms. She’s great!
Kind, spent what time she could with me.
My yearly visit with Angela was wonderful. She was very understanding and made me feel like I was being heard with my concerns.
Angela is an amazing provider. Very knowledgeable and great to interact with! I would recommend her to anyone!
Very thorough and detailed

Great experience talking through my concerns and coming up with a plan to move forward.
