The birthing center is fantastic! I wish all doctors' appointments and interactions with hospital…read morestaff left me feeling like I do when I go to the birthing center. The midwives and nurses are knowledgeable, compassionate, and very very good at what they do. When I was deciding where to have my baby, I chose the birthing center because of the low intervention model (I usually get real anxious when it comes to hospitals and medical procedures), support for a non-medicated birth, and beneficial practices like delayed cord clamping, not washing baby right away, and skin-to-skin. It seemed very homey and calming and I liked that the birthing center was in the hospital (as opposed to a stand alone center), so if an emergency happened, I could get immediate care. The center has four birthing suites: spring, summer, fall, and winter. You can pick which one you want; the layout and color themes are slightly different. However, every room has a shower, a tub you can labor in (though you can't do a water birth), a big bed where both you and your partner are encouraged to snuggle baby after the birth (I think it might be a queen), and various labor stuff (two different kinds of birthing balls, a rope thing hanging from the ceiling, etc.). During birth they have nitrous oxide available for pain relief. You typically get to go home the day of the birth if everything checks out or you have the option of staying in a maternity recovery room upstairs. I had a great experience with all my prenatal appointments and recently had my 6 week follow up. I never feel rushed; I feel heard and respected when I come with my long list of questions (it was my first pregnancy). You get to have appointments with each of the midwives throughout your pregnancy so that whenever you deliver, you'll already be familiar with whichever midwife is on call at the time. So I ended up having my baby on the regular labor and delivery floor because we were high risk and the birthing center can only do low risk births (baby came early at 33 weeks). However, the midwife on call, Maria, still came to attend the birth. Her presence, support, and coaching were invaluable during labor! I wouldn't say I felt calm per se, but I definitely felt less stressed and more confident knowing she was there. I was still able to deliver baby vaginally and without pain medication, which I attribute in large part to Maria's support and the natural birthing class I took through the center. If/when my spouse and I decide to have another baby, I would definitely choose the birthing center again (and hopefully be able to actually give birth there)! Oh and one last thing, one of their staff is a certified lactation consultant, so you can ask Amanda any and all breastfeeding questions you have. She runs The Lactation Circle (TLC) every Thursday morning where you can come with your baby and do a weighted feed (so you know how much your baby is eating), get help with baby's latch, and just hang out with other moms and babies. It's another amazing support and resource the birthing center offers!

I'd like to say this office was highly spoke on. I was given the chance to work at this office. The…read morefirst few days were great! But as we went on, Asia, the MA who was "training me" was not properly showing me how to do things or understand fully what I was doing. She would mock me and talk down on me to other co workers. Her and another colleague moved all of my things without my permission from my desk to another desk one day while I was not working. One of them stole my Clorox wipes, which yes is a small thing and non expensive, but it's still taking someone's things. There would be times that the Lab tech would come and say I didn't do something correctly, but everything I did was done with Asia walking me through the process, or her putting it in and claiming I entered the info. This led into her throwing her work load onto me as well, which became a lot as I was still learning how things worked. I was then led to being terminated after being employed with them for 14 total days, as I WAS NOT given proper training. Dr. Scherbel nor her husband had checked in with me one time to see what was happening, they just went off of what Asia had said. The 13 year old daughter was then in the office handling medical records which goes against HIPAA.

Switched my daughter to a new ob/gyn after exhaustive attempts to get Mrs. Scherbel to provide relief. New physician IMMEDIATELY found a tilted cervix, indicating abnormal cells (ie endometriosis) and scheduled surgery within the month. My daughter suffered for years unnecessarily because of her - and wasted hours of time & $$ in visits, testing, taking meds, etc. Any poor reviews so far have been deleted, so let's see if this one stays as it is honest and, actually, mild in comparison to the hell we've been through with this "practicing" physician.

The medical assistant was so sweet in making sure I was doing alright during the procedure itself and again, made me feel cared for. You don't have to wait months and months to get an appointment and you can schedule one through my chart which is something I was looking for when looking for a new provider. Overall great practice with a wonderful NP and medical assistants!

The staff are knowledgeable, pleasant, quick to respond with detailed answers, and incredibly organized with essential paperwork. The written, itemized estimate is provided at the time of consultation, and all questions are thoroughly answered. Once surgery is decided upon, you receive a thorough set of pre-op instructions and clear expectations for the post-operative period. A post-op appointment is scheduled ahead of time as well. Dr. Veronikis hand-picks his OR staff--OR nursing, circulating assistants, and anesthesiologists--and performs all of his surgeries from start to finish, including post-op care even if hospitalized overnight. (No residents or fellows involved, despite it being a teaching facility.) He uses his own surgical instruments, engraved with his name, to help avoid mix-ups. Specific OR rooms are reserved for multiple reasons, including decreased infection risk. As a healthcare provider myself, I can attest that his level of care exceeded my expectations. He offers interpreter days to consult with patients from other countries; many of his patients travel from abroad after researching his success. I canceled other consultation appointments after speaking with Dr. Veronikis. In my view, you should choose the expert in their field--someone who performs their skill with every surgery and specializes in a single area. Dr. Veronikis focuses on GYN surgeries, which reinforces his expertise, and his ratings and reviews reflect his skill. While some plastic surgeons offer similar procedures, they often perform a wide range of surgeries and focus less on the core GYN aesthetics. Any abdominal surgery carries risks for complications, including unintended injury to blood vessels, bowel, or bladder. With this in mind, seeking a dedicated specialist is worth considering over less-focused options. To summarize, my experience with Dr. Veronikis is akin to comparing theme parks to Disney World--exceptional attention to detail across the entire experience. It's remarkable that he delivers such a high standard of care within a teaching facility, and persuading hospital leadership to accommodate this level of service likely wasn't easy.
