So, I read these posts and some are correct in the longer wait time. I just want to say that I was one of the patients that made you wait last week. I rushed myself to the ER with terrible pain in my left side and thought it was an appendicitis. After hours in the ER, I learned it was a cyst on my right ovary. I called Dr. Maser and she calmed me down and said to come in and she would see me. I came in on a Monday, without an appointment, in excruciating pain. Dr. Maser prioritized me above the other patients and spent two hours with me as soon as she got out of the OR. She found me a bed in the hospital to have an MRI. She spent a lot of time with me when I needed her help, and she fought for me to get the help I needed. As I was doubled over in pain, I thought of those who were in the waiting room when I was taking up her time. I know I waited in the past, and now I appreciated them waiting for me when I was in a crisis. I was terrified and needed help. The next day, she performed laparoscopic surgery to remove a huge cyst on my right ovary. She dropped by my room many times, called me to see how I was doing in the hospital, and even called after the surgery twice to see how I was and to tell me the pathology report. So, for those of you who hate the wait, I totally understand. I hate it to. But from someone who really needed help and could not wait, I felt compassion, trust, and a fight for my best interest when I needed it most. I have been to many doctors who I do not wait for (who respect my time) and who struggle to really care about me or my health because they are too busy. They get me in, and they get me out. One primary care doc missed my cancer diagnosis completely and never called to see how I was doing, but hey I never waited very long in her office. After these experiences, I learned that I want the best and if I have to wait, Ill wait. For those who had to wait last Monday, thank you. I really appreciate you letting me go first. I really needed it. And for you Dr. Maser, Thank you for being a doctor who spends time with your patients. In a world where medicine is changing and doctors have more incentive to see more patients and spend less time with them, you have tried to stay true to your beliefs in the best patient care. That is not easy in this environment. You listen, you have a passion for the work you do, and you are a skillful doctor. Thank you for not bending and for being the type of doctor patients can rely on when they need you. I wish more doctors were like you, and I would wait for them too!!!!!

I love the office its clean the staff are friendly and really get to know you on a personal level. Dr Maser is a very knowledgeable Dr, they specialize in high risk pregnancies so thats a big plus should anything go awry with your pregnancy. Dr Maser delivered my baby. She is a straight shooter - no beating around the bush, she tells you right away what should be done but she also takes the time to tell you why. Dr Weichold saw me for most of my pre-birth appointments. She is really great, also a straight shooter, they work well together. I saw a number of obgyns before i settled with these two Drs and Im so glad i took the time to go with someone who doesnt sugar coat or make me feel guilty for asking questions or calling on the weekend.They never ran late by more than about 5 mins. The parking sucks sometimes - depends on how busy that complex is at the time you go. I almost always went at around 11 am and seemed to have no problems parking.

Dr. Maser is truly an excellent doctor. She recently delivered my daughter and took great care of me through my (high-risk) pregnancy...not to mention she did a beautiful job on my c-section! She is very knowledgeable and really takes time to answer your questions. Shes very straightforward and really cares about her patients. I saw Dr. Weichold a couple of times when Maser was out. She seemed great as well and very friendly. She was more laid-back than Dr. Maser which is nice, but I like how Dr. Maser is overly cautious about issues. The nurses Joy & Leslie are both so great and so sweet! The only thing is they are almost always running late there. I have had to wait over an hour a couple of times. I now expect to wait at least a half hour every time. But honestly, it is worth it because of the excellent care that is provided. I HIGHLY recommend this office!

Dr Maser is truly an exceptional doctor. And her front desk staff have always been polite and extra helpful to me. The staff here goes above and beyond to educate, counsel and recommend the best course of action during the lifecycle of pregnancy. Dr Maser is forthright and doesnt waste time in ensuring you understand and make a wise decision regarding your own & babys health. She delivered both my boys and was at my side throughout it all. I never hesitate to recommend her to someone looking for the best. She has lots of patients so wait times vary but while you may take a while to be seen, if you are late, she makes sure you are seen that day and realizes life is hectic. One of the few doctors left that treats her patients like people not just some number on a list to check off.

I went to Dr. Maser because someone highly recommended her to me. She saw me through my whole pregnancy and was very on top of things. She is very smart and great at what she does; however, I cant deal with the wait time. I think I will have to find another doctor at this point. I have been rescheduled on multiple times and when I finally did make it in there after being cancelled on three times I waited three hours for my appointment. I ended up leaving before they ever saw me. A couple of times they have cancelled on me when I have been parking in their garage! If not for the absurd waiting time I wouldnt really have an issue. However, when you take off of work for a limited amount of time for an appointment, three hours is just too long.

Both Doctors Maser an Weicholt are wonderful.Dr.Maser is hard to get in with and you may have to wait but its WELL worth it,shes an amazing physician. Dr. Weicholt is also amazing, friendly and wonderful,and runs on time most of the time. Dr. Weicholt is my regular Obgyn,but was out of town when my baby was born,so Dr.Maser did my C-section and took excellent care of me.Both Doctors are decisive and very smart,I would recommend anyone to this practice.The staff is also very friendly,and very helpful,from the desk staff to the nurses ,they all really care and get to know you,which goes a long way when you are pregnant and there all the time!

I switched to Dr. Maser when I was about 22 weeks pregnant. I had been going to a large OB/GYN group in the area and felt I was not being treated as an individual but rather a number. The doctors were backing out of the door before I had finished asking questions. I made the change to Dr. Maser on a friends recommendation and I am so happy that I did. Yes, the wait was sometimes long but other times I had no wait. However, the care that Dr. Maser showed once she saw me was exceptional. I never felt like a number. She didnt just act like she cared. I know she genuinely did care about me and my new baby. I cant recommend her enough.
