I have had a need to see physicians often for a long term problem. NEVER have I had such a positive experience as I did at Dr. Gould's office. From the front desk to the MAs, to Alison, the US technician, to Dr. Gould, everyone was professional and caring. My ultrasound was shown and explained to me. This has never happened. When Dr. Gould first met with me she thoroughly explained my options for both of my concerns. After the ultrasound was finished, she again came into the room to discuss the results and ask if I had further questions. I have truly never felt so cared for and respected. An extremely positive experience.

Dr. Gould was incredible. I had extremen anxiety surrounding my appointment for an IUD removal and placement. She went above and beyond to encourage me and make sure the appointment was as comfortable as possible. She empowered me and made me feel seen and heard. She didn't minimize my anxiety like a lot of providers have in the past and she treated me with kindness and respect. She made something incredibly scary feel ok.

The intake nurse was very pleasant to talk with. Doctor Gould was very knowledgeable and good at communicating information to me in a way I understood. You can tell she does thorough research that would be beyond standard. She was kind and answered all of my questions in detail. Other gynecologists I have been to made me feel rushed and had multiple people in the room. Claire Gould took her time and wrote her own notes just her and I were talking. She really listened to my concerns. She presented me with multiple good treatment options. She was considerate with my concerns and offered to answer any more questions I thought of on the portal. I am excited to have her as a doctor.

Dr. Claire Gould exceeded my expectations in every aspect of being her patient. She never made me feel rushed, listened to me, and showed respect and kindness. Dr. Gould and her medical team provided excellent care throughout the steps involved with my recent surgery. Total abdominal hysterectomy. I couldn't ask for more from a provider. Dr. Claire Gould is a gem.

Dr. Gould did an excellent job of describing my condition and the ways in which the problem could be rectified. Allison, the ultrasound technician, was not only friendly and courteous, she was very good at explaining the procedure and used excellent analogies to make the outcomes more understandable.

Dr. Gould is the first doctor that has made me feel truly heard about women's health issues in my entire life. She didn't discount any of the information I referenced from either my own experience OR from various online resources, and for the first time in my adult life I feel hopeful that I have a plan for managing a health issue I've dealt with for over 20 years.

It's evident she cares about her patients well being, and them as people. She takes the time to get to know her patients, and works with them so they can choose treatment options that are the most successful for their unique situation.
