I think most of her practice is in the baby delivery part of OBGYNing and, since I'm NOT going to be having babies any time soon (or maybe ever), I had different needs than most of the other patients in the waiting room-- they were all very preggers.

She kept me…read morecalm as we experienced some irregularities in the baby's heart rate while using her extensive experience and knowledge to ensure the baby was never in harm. After hours of close monitoring and slow labor progression, Dr. Patel, my husband and I decided the best course of action for the baby was to move forward with a C-Section and relieve the baby of any additional stress. Again, her calmness helped to ease any of our concerns while hospital staff feverishly got me ready for surgery. Once the baby was born and passed all her tests with flying colors, Dr. Patel made every effort to ensure that my surgery was completed without any issues. This continued post-op and once we were settled into our room. Even after a full day of patients in the office and deliveries she was on call for, Dr. Patel came by in the evening before heading home to check on us. Our stellar experience with her continued postpartum as well. With all the follow up appointments and changes to our lives and family dynamics, she was there to provide support, counsel and advice. As we look to expand our family again in the future, we will absolutely continue to have her be our physician then and well into the future.

I ALWAYS have a lot of questions for my healthcare providers and don't like to feel rushed, brushed off, or like my concerns are being undermined and Dr. Kapner is a VERY attentive listener who diligently ensures every concern and question gets addressed with transparency and thoroughness. She has superb bedside manner that seems to be backed by experience and she does really well with following up to personally discuss lab results or any other issues or questions she says you'll get a call or email back from her for. While her schedule and the overall practice she's at are clearly very busy, I never feel rushed through my appointments and instead would say that Dr. Kapner does well to give patients somewhat of a boutique / exclusive provider / practice feel that is a highlight to what can typically be kind of a daunting experience with other gynecologists. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kapner and her nursing and medical assistants team to my friends, colleagues, or family members and if you are looking for an experienced, non judgmental OBGYN that won't make you feel like you're one of many patients even if that may be true, you should not hesitate to take your lady parts over to her to look after. I certainly feel like mine have been being handled with pristine care under her watch, LOL.

I was a patient at Advantia OB-GYN Shady Grove throughout my pregnancy and delivered my baby this…read morepast July. Unfortunately, my experience at this clinic was consistently negative and created unnecessary stress during what should have been an exciting time. During my second appointment which was on a Friday at 3 p.m., I waited almost 50 minutes to see the doctor, who only spent a few minutes with me. When I went to get my blood drawn afterward, the lab technician told me they were closed -- even though it was only 3:55 p.m. and their hours are until 4 p.m. After I insisted that I needed the bloodwork done, she reluctantly agreed but was very rude about it. At my next appointment, which was also on a Friday at 3 p.m., I needed bloodwork again. This time, I told the tech taking my vitals if I could have my blood drawn before seeing the doctor. She assured me it would be fine to do it after. Once my appointment ended around 3:55 p.m., I went to the lab, where the same technician and her colleague refused to take my blood and said I could go to the hospital tomorrow to get it done. My husband had to step in and remind them that we both took off work for this appointment before they finally agreed to do it. Around my 25th week appointment, I mentioned to the covering doctor that I was experiencing pelvic pain and difficulty walking. Her response was, "It's only going to get worse, that's pregnancy." When I brought up that I had read about physical therapy, massage, or acupuncture helping, she agreed those were options but told me to "Google it" when I asked for recommendations. The lack of support and empathy was disappointing. Later in my pregnancy, the practice announced they were moving deliveries from Shady Grove to Holy Cross Silver Spring. I looked up reviews for the Silver Spring hospital and also discussed it with my doula, who shared that she had really negative experiences there. I reached out to the clinic to ask if I could deliver at Holy Cross Germantown instead and was told that was acceptable so I registered at Germantown. At my next appointment, I mentioned in passing to Dr. Prosper that I was registered at Germantown. She responded abruptly and told me I was "not allowed" to deliver there. When I explained my reasoning and mentioned that I had already paid for my doula, she was dismissive and unkind. That conversation was the final straw for me. I had already been uncomfortable with the practice but had to stay because I was so far along and couldn't find another provider. I went on to deliver at Holy Cross Germantown, where I had a wonderful experience with my doula and the hospital staff. Unfortunately, I experienced postpartum complications and scheduled a follow-up with Dr. Prosper. During that appointment, she told me she "couldn't help" and reminded me that I "chose to deliver somewhere else,". I ended up going to the ER for help. About a week later, I received a call saying that Dr. Prosper had canceled my 6-week postpartum appointment because I delivered at Germantown. As a new mom still recovering from complications, this was extremely upsetting and unprofessional. I then called the Silver Spring location, where I was met with empathy, professionalism, and understanding. They immediately scheduled me for my 6-week checkup and assured me that what happened was unacceptable. They also confirmed that they already had all my medical records, meaning Dr. Prosper's lied when she said she couldn't help me and she had no records of my delivery. I would strongly caution anyone considering the Rockville location to think twice. No patient should have to experience the level of disrespect and lack of care that I did during such an important time.

I arrived for a 1:45p appointment at 1:30p, went back to the room a bit after 2p and the doctor walked in at 2:18p. Even if I came exactly at 1:45p that's over a half hour until I see the provider. The staff are pretty nice but not super gracious. Discharge was pretty quick, though so I was in the car at 2:46p. Wish I could give a 4.5 rating, but I didn't want to do the disservice to the provider. I miss Dr. Taubman, but I really appreciate her recommending Dr. Ampey.

I was referred to Dr. Ampey by a family member and was initially very excited to find an OBGYN who…read morewas competent and recommended! Unfortunately, my first 4 experiences with her were incredibly frustrating. I initially saw her at her old office. I have been to several appointments with her and each time have experienced a new frustration or unprofessional behavior. Her office cancelled my appointment, was unprepared with the vaccinations that I had requested, and then insulted me for not "reminding them" to check if they had said medicine. I was almost in tears, frustrated, and in need of medical service still. At this point I vowed not to return. When I heard that Dr. Ampey had moved to a new practice, I thought that the things I had experienced before might have been due to her staff (as opposed to her) and decided to give it another shot. Unfortunately, at this appointment she rushed out in the middle of my exam to help a woman who was in labor. While I totally understand the necessity of her leaving, I was not provided the opportunity to ask important questions or make sure that I was fully checked out. For something that I only do once a year I find it scary knowing that I did not receive a complete checkup. Overall, I would avoid this OBGYN. Her office has been consistently unprofessional and I have left more times than not feeling as though I did not receive the proper care.

He also has a very friendly and personable bedside manner, which I'm finding more and more rare with most doctors these days. He really goes out of his way to get to know his patients and make them feel comfortable. He never makes you feel rushed like some doctors, and his office is always on time with appointments which I appreciate. Most importantly, he's just a great doctor. Last year when I was pregnant I discovered I had a large ovarian cyst. The OBGYN I was seeing at the time was quick to suggest I'd need surgery when I was only a few weeks pregnant, even though my cyst was showing signs of getting smaller. I went to see Dr. Yuri for a second opinion and he ended up saving me from a risky and unnecessary surgery. He was very thorough and carefully explained all of my options to me. I immediately dropped my other doctor and now send all my DC friends straight to Dr. Yuri.

I had my first visit with him in April, I had to have an "in and out" procedure" in May. He was wonderful explaining everything to me, not assuming that because I am a health care professional that I would understand everything. I was totally comfortable in his office and I was not rushed. America who works for him, is a wonderful and kind person. She is helpful and promptly responds to emails and phone calls. They are high tech; I love the use of phreesia (spelling?). What I loved and appreciated the most was that after my surgery in May, he went out and spoke to my husband, a non health care oriented person, and put him at ease. My husband's first words to me when I woke up from the procedure, "he came out and talked to me at length, he's great!" I am very thankful to have met him!
