I had an appointment with Dr. Michelle Birkenholtz on 12/20/2016 for my first two month prenatal appointment where i would hear my babys heartbeat for the first time and I was denied to be seen. First off when me and my boyfriend walked into the office the vibe was very dry and unwelcoming. I wasnt greeted happily, the office staff wasnt the nicest, nobody was smiling, it was very dry and uncomfortable. After I filled out all the paperwork the lady at the front desk called me back up and asked if I could make the first payment today which I was completely unaware of so she sent me back with the financial lady so we could discuss my options so I thought. Soon as I sat down with the lady she got straight to the point and pretty much said "This is our policy, you have to pay $358 today and every month you come in order to be seen". I was shocked by the amount she stated to me especially since I have Aetna insurance. I didnt have the money at the time but I told the lady I would get my check tomorrow and they could charge my card for the full amount first thing in the morning and she said let me go talk to the doctor and see what she says. So I waited and waited and finally she comes back and says, "so either you can pay the full amount of $2,500 today or you can pay the monthly amount of $358 or we can reschedule you for another day when you get the money but the doctor will not see you without a payment made today"...I was shocked!!! The lady was very rude and not understanding or helpful at all, she also told me "we dont know you because youre a new patient so we dont trust that you are going to actually make the payment". I was disgusted by the way I was treated and how the doctor just completely denied seeing me. I left the office very upset and I started making some phone calls to other doctors offices asking them how much would I have to pay for my first prenatal visit there under my insurance and every single office I called told me I only have to pay my Copay amount on my insurance card which is $35 and I would have my first check up and afterwards they will bill to Aetna and see how much left I will have to pay every month if any. I also told one office what just happened with Dr. Birkenholz and the lady new exactly what office I was talking about and even told me that they charge extra for delivery which makes your monthly costs way more than what it should be and that they are very expensive. I would not recommend Dr. Michelle Birkenholz to anyone or this office in general. The office isnt even nice and clean it looks really old and small like they need to remodel. Thankfully I scheduled an appointment for the next day with another office that is way better and more well known where I only have to pay $35 and I will have my precious baby checked out by doctors who actually care!

Dr. Birkenholz is the BEST OBGYN, hands down. I would never ever trust another doctor like I do her. She has delivered both of my kids; and the relationship we have built over the years is unbreakable. She wasnt just a doctor to me, she was a friend. During my last pregnancy, I found out my husband was cheating on me. I cant tell you how many times I cried in her arms. She would just hold me, and comfort me like we were best friends. Sometimes she would sit in the room with me for 30+ minutes giving me relationship advice and trying to help me through my pain, when she had a waiting room full of other patients. She never disregarding my feelings. She never rushed me through my appointments. She was there, and she was amazing. Looking back (my daughter is 9 months old now), I dont know if I woulda made it through my pregnancy without her. She is so compassionate, caring, kind, loving, loyal, I honestly cant say enough good things about her. She refused to let anyone else deliver either of my kids...on call or not. Thats amazing. I love her so so much. I highly recommend her; to EVERYONE. I wish I had more time to go into great detail all the amazing things she did for me, just being an OBGYN. Please, if youre looking for a good baby doctor...SHES IT! I promise you wont regret it! ❤❤❤

I have gone to Dr. Birkenholz a couple times now and she was phenomenal. I went to her for some common feminine issues that I was experiencing and she gave me a solution that gave me instant results. The facilities were clean and staff friendly. I plan on going back again soon here for my annual.

Dr. Birkenholz and her team at Columbus Metropolitan OB-Gyn did an amazing job with monitoring my symptoms and delivering my baby when I was ill! I will be trusting her with my next baby! She is phenomenal at what she does!
