Do not go here if you have any other options. I was not informed that they do not provide complete care beforehand. The doctor I saw for my well womens exam talked about how anxious i must be and how anxiety ridden these appointments are. Are they? U do this at least once a year and dont find it stressful at all; do you medical professional? She danced around the concept of birth control when I tried to have a discussion about changing the medication I have been on for the last 15 years. She said she had to do some research which I found strange as an obgyn you should be pretty familiar with the options. My exam felt incomplete and I am still awaiting what I assume will be unusable results of my pap smear since she scraped me with the stick before getting to the right spot. The exam was very uncomfortable as she didnt use any lubricant at all. Are you serious?! Yes. I walked out without a birth control (BC) prescription and wouldnt have noticed except for the printout I received which showed my other RX. Upon asking why it wasnt there the receptionist informed me they dont prescribe BC because of being a Catholic hospital. I threw a little bit of a fit and insisted on seeing the dr again. In the end the dr wrote me a 60 day prescription for my BC which was sent straight to the pharmacy and I was not provided a copy of. A week later I havent been able to get a hold of anyone to get more information although I did listen to the phone ring for 15 minutes. I have never gotten anything less than a 12 month RX after an annual exam. I have never had an exam without lubricant and I hope to never again. Im assuming they will make me come in and pay a copay to get the results of my test and then I will be getting out of there and going anywhere else. Absolutely horrific experience and a perfect example of why so many women go without treatment and have unwanted pregnancies. Get it together or dont call yourself a health care provider. Run. Run away.

This place should be reported for all of the illegal things that they are doing. First of all the OBGYN told me that "its a good thing I used to have painful periods because theyre a catholic institution and otherwise they cant prescribe BC." Which is highly illegal, especially in this day and age. You cannot deny somebody something thats legal and a basic right because of your religious affiliation, that is discrimination. I am horrified at the thought of young girls being turned away. Secondly the doctor was insistent upon taking all sorts of blood tests and urine samples for no reason. Over a month has gone by and I NEVER received a phone call with my results as they are legally required to do. I called them today and they told me I need to make an appointment to get my results! Excuse me?! No, you have to give them to me. I told the receptionist that was illegal and she said she cant give them to me but the doctor can (which is also untrue the HIPAA waiver you sign there makes it so they can leave you a voicemail with your results at your phone number). But I told her to have the doctor call which Im guessing is unlikely to happen so they are illegally holding on to my test results so they can further charge customers for more co pays and visits. DO NOT go here.

After years of being in pain and going to doctors who did not believe that I was in as much pain as I was saying I was in, I met staff from access. I finally had enough of the pain and went to the er. They recommended that I come see the obgyn at their clinic. I met Dr. Cortina and after a couple of visits she assessed my pain and jumped into action to resolve the problem. She walked me through everything and was always so kind. She performed the procedure that relieved me of a pain I had been in for years. I am so greatful! The entire staff was always so pleasant and most times went out of their way to make my visit as pleasant as possible. I had such a great experience I changed my PCP to the clinic and my children see their pediatrician. They are wonderful!

I see Dr. Schlentz at this office. After almost a month of feeling week and tired, I made an appointment to see the first available Dr. They assigned me to Dr. Schlentz. She took the time to listen to me and to confirm a diagnosis before putting me on a bunch of pills. After getting my tests results back she was willing to follow up with me over the phone so that I didnt have to come back into the office. After only a few days for following her treatment order I finally began to feel like my self again for the first time in over a month! It is so nice to be able to again keep up with my two little girls and I cant thank the Dr. enough for taking the time needed to help me feel better!

I come here for my OB/GYN and my sons pediatrician. While service for me has been disrupted with miscommunication. I absolutely love my sons doctor.
