Review for Laura Kennedy, FNP-BC

Follow-up Visit (Problem / Complication)

Going to the gynecologist is no one’s favorite thing to do so when you find a Dr. that listens to your concerns, takes the time to explain things to you and to address your needs that is a 5 all day long in my book.

Review for Mallory Thompson, MD

Routine Pregnancy / Prenatal Appointment

Dr. Yee and her staff are always so amazing and helpful.

Review for Beverly Yee-Whipple, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

The wait was considerably long. I’ve had two miscarriages and the nurse was verifying my information and asked if I’d had two abortions, then corrected herself. It would be good practice to train employees to be more sensitive. Also, I would have appreciated if the doctor would have shown me the speculum she was going to use beforehand and give me an option for a smaller one.

Review for Ilanna Loeffel, MD

OB Care

Dr Jacob is the best Dr I've ever been treated by! She's kind, and makes you feel super comfortable. I recommend her every chance I have.

Review for Shaheen Jacob, MD, FACOG

Prescription Medication / Rx Refill

Staff is great. Check In & Wait time great! Angela Judson is so easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. Angela was great and always is, however when you get a prescription that has 2 pages of serious side effects - you want to be able to confirm that this is your best choice of medications.

Review for Angela Judson, CNM

Dr Viney is personable and professional. She’s knowledgeable and I always leave feeling cared for and heard. She’s an excellent doctor.

Review for Reagan Viney, MD

Dr. Munoz is, truly, the kindest doctor I have ever encountered. In the, already awkward, environment, Dr. Munoz is so soft spoken and respectful. He's a very knowledgeable expert in his field.

Review for Ricardo Munoz VI, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

I love Dr. Barnard. She’s the fastest Pap smear this side of the Mississippi. She always remembers information about me, makes sure I’m comfortable, and educates me in a kind, genuine way. I recommend her to every woman I know in San Antonio.

Review for Jami Barnard, MD
