As a registered nurse, Ive seen many doctors and these are the best examples of OB-GYNs that Ive ever had to pleasure to meet in my life. I wanted to deliver at East Cooper hospital so I selected this practice fairly blindly. I choose them based of their ability to deliver at EC hospital, that it was an all-female practice, and my insurance covered it. This was the best decision of my life. I saw them from my first OB appointment till my postpartum follow up and they were terrific every time. First, their offices are beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. I never had a problem sitting there for a few minutes. All of their staff is courteous and respectful. They are very professional! As an OB patient you primarily see your selected doctor, however towards the end of your pregnancy you are able to rotate to see all of the doctors in the practice before you deliver, just in case. This was great for me, because I went into labor when my Dr. was not available, but was able to deliver with my doctor and see her postpartum in the hospital. I had Dr. Cooke as my doctor, but since Id had appointments with all of the doctors in the practice I will speak of them all. They are outstanding! Any question I had no matter how intimate or silly I thought it to be, they answered it professionally, with sensitivity, thoughtfully, accurately, and honestly. Any questions I had about natural labor and birth, episiotomies, my baby and my health status, exercise, sex, postpartum healing, pediatricians, saving my babys cord blood, kangaroo care, postpartum depression, and more were answered thoughtfully and using the most recent and reliable data and recommendations. This made me feel wonderful knowing that my doctors are using the best up-to-date information when making clinical decisions with their patients. This practice really is a great example of patient centered care, they really focus on the womans needs and expectations and strive to make each pregnancy and delivery special, happy, and a memorable one. I had issues early in my pregnancy that the doctors kept a close watch on and gave me the best information about so that I was able to deal with the information i was receiving appropriately and make the best decisions for my baby and I. Throughout my pregnancy whenever I got an ultrasound I was not only excited about seeing my little one growing, but also excited to see the ultrasound technicians that they have there. They are wonderful, kind, women who make the experience of seeing your little one and hearing those first heart beats special, memorable, and exciting. They dont rush you through the experience, and show you what they are doing and measuring as they go. We did not want to find out our babys sex, so they made sure not to reveal this to us by accident ever. As my due date came and went Dr. Cooke and I discussed options for by baby who was estimated to be pretty big. She asked how I felt about an induction (versus just telling me what I was going to get and scheduling it without talking to me about it) and we discussed her rationale for wanting to induce and this point and her reasoning, in combination with the trusting rapport and her clinical expertise that she had already exhibited. In the end I went into labor naturally, and from the morning when my water broke tp the time I delivered I was in contact with and under the care of the doctors at EC OBGYN. As for my delivery, it was not easy, but the most wonderful experience that I could have asked for. After almost 30 hours of labor my son was born without incident into the gentle and encouraging hands of Dr. Cooke as she encouraged me, supported me, and coached me when to push. As Mothers Day approaches I just wanted to finally write a review that hopefully expresses the gratitude thanks and affection that I have for the bright,caring, professional, staff at EC OBGYN who helped me become a mom this year. Thanks!

I would highly recommend this office if you have no value for your time whatsoever. Was referred by my personal physician and needed an ultrasound. Apt at 9:10. They asked that I have my paperwork completed . Arrived early and there were 6 more pages to complete. Called back at 9:30. Talked 5 mins with dr who without examination proceeded to tell me problem was probably GI . Asked for urine sample (told her I just had one Thursday and it was negative) wanted one anyway (more $$$). Gave sample and asked to undress at 9:45. Got dressed and left at 10:45 after Dr NEVER came back.

I had Dr. Laura Stickler deliver my first baby, and I could not have asked for a better obgyn! I became preeclampsic towards the end of my pregnancy and she could not of been better at helping me remain calm during my labor (at least as calm as one can be when delivering a baby). All of the nurses that were present were also amazing and so helpful, I felt so at home during this big life event. I never had any worries about my wonderful daughters safety while in their care. I would highly recommend using East Cooper as a place for delivery.

Horrible. They only care about being a baby-mill, they are fake to your face, and after you deliver they want nothing to do with you and pass you on to other doctors to fix any post deliver issues. Way overrated and over priced. Save yourself the drama, go anywhere else.

Rachel Smith

Very pleasant annual exam appointment. Karen Hilbert, WHNP, was knowledgeable and compassionate. All staff from check in to check out were friendly and efficient. I was seen right on time and would recommend this practice (especially Karen) to others.

I saw all of the doctors at East Cooper OBGYN during my pregnancy but Dr. Pound is my main doctor. All of the doctors and staff are always kind and courteous. Dr. Pound has to be one of the nicest doctors Ive ever had and shes a fantastic listener.

The billing office and their "financial counselor" are both completely incompetent.
