I felt comfortable and confident In the care I received at this vist. Women's health visits can tend to be very uncomfortable, so that's saying something.

I appreciated that my provider helped with questions to the intake form, ie; vaccination history. I did not appreciate the intake process! Upon I checking in, I was handed intake forms, though I already filled out the electronic forms online. It was frustrating because the service time was so efficient. There was not enough time to fill out the forms completely. The staff mentioned that their office doesn't receive the intake information from online. I think it would be very helpful if they got the online information in their office!

She listened and explained everything, she took time to look thru my medical records to find appropriate treatment option.

While I found Dr. Ameel to be a very nice and friendly Doctor, I was somewhat taken back by her comment of breasts not being her area of expertise! I would expect a Doctor in a women's health clinic to be knowledgeable in ALL aspects of women's health. I also felt like once she found out I hadn't received the covid vaccine, that seemed to become her focus for my visit. I, on the other hand, had different concerns for my visit, and was a little discouraged in the end.

Dr Ameel is wonderful

My provider, Dr. Ameel, was so kind and professional during the whole visit. She showed genuine interest in my life outside of the visit, asking about school and work, and made the whole appointment as comfortable as possible. As someone who can get anxious about going to the doctor, especially for something such as a pap smear, I felt incredibly relieved to have had such a good experience. I already recommended her to my mom and sister and would not hesitate to offer recommendations to others.

Keep doing good work
Britta was an amazing provider. During my pap smear she was gentle, explained to me what she was going to do before she touched me and did it, and also why she was doing it. She listened to my concerns and explained my health issues to me in a way I could easily understand. She had to order some more lab tests and an ultrasound for me. She explained why and what we would do after the results. She made me feel like we really have a plan for my health going forward. She was honestly the best provider I've EVER seen. She was so kind and made having a pap smear and breast exam not feel uncomfortable or awkward. I will continue to go to her for my care forever.
