Being the mom of a pandemic baby you can imagine my anxiety when it came time to search for child…read morecare. After weeks of searching and with no success in finding an establishment that is more than just subpar I came across Caring Hands Play and Learn. My initial impression of the facility was astounding. The atmosphere exudes fun, safe, learning and nurturing. Teachers are trained professionals who loves children. Caring Hands is more than just a Daycare, it is an extremely early start to your child's education. Every week they provide the curriculum that the children will be working on not to mention the daily videos and pictures of the kiddos working hard while having tons of fun. My son has been going there for about 2 months and he loves it and I'm so pleased to say that I have found peace of mind right in my own community. Caring Hands Play and Learn is the best daycare I have ever came across. I only wish I had found them years ago when my daughter was a tiny tot.

Dr. Poblete is an incredible pediatrician. While I don't love her front office staff, the care my…read moredaughter has been receiving since she was only 4 days old has been consistently amazing. Dr. Poblete truly cares for her patients and goes above in beyond in answering questions, no matter how small. She is also very conservative when prescribing things like antibiotics and I've learned to wholly trust her expertise (she can identify a viral infection almost immediately and she has never been wrong). She is very easy to get an appointment with - even same day most times. I'd recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pediatrictian for their little one.

I was looking for a GYN doctor for my special needs adult daughter…read more Dr. Keen was perfect. When I called I got an appointment fairly quickly. Everyone was very nice and efficient with the entire vist. Dr. Keen was very nice and professional with my daughter. Giving her a chance to talk and ask questions. I love that her didn't make it seem like she was in a hurry. She took time to really hear her and solve the problem she was experiencing. Dr. Keen ordered tests and made a convenient next appointment before we left. The only negative thing I have to say, which has nothing to do with the practice is finding the office. Finding the campus is easy, but the building the practice is in is not clearly marked. After walking around and asking people.....I found it. I would just suggest a sign, outside the building to help guide you. I would highly recommend this practice for women. P.S. There is free parking on the campus.

She truly changed my life for the better!

I had quite a journey with RMA and am ultimately landing on a review between 4 and 5 stars. It's…read morehard for any practice to achieve perfection in fertility treatment - there are so many interactions and variables. I visited RMA over 25 times during my care across 3 different locations. But overall, it came together well and I left feeling like RMA was in my corner and delivered on their promise. I'm very grateful to them for helping us. Doctors Our initial interactions with RMA doctors were not good. Some of the older doctors in the practice are very condescending and controlling - one said some very offensive things to us. Stuff that would make your jaw drop. We considered terminating care but ultimately contacted the practice manager who took our concerns very seriously and we switched to another RMA doctor who we liked right away. This doctor created a very personalized treatment plan and helped us make the right choices at each stage of the process. He also kept me safe through very close monitoring during a very long IVF stim process where I was at very high risk of OHSS and had 10 visits in 14 days. Financial counseling RMA has a robust financial counseling department that gave us accurate information about our costs and took swift action with preapprovals and insurance. In addition, I had to submit some appeals to my insurance and they produced supportive materials / letters swiftly. I received an insane bill from a third party for the anesthesia and they were on it right away - it was a mistake. Our personal financial breakdown: Procedures and appointments $25 copays PGT testing $3000 (optional) Embryo biopsy $1700 (optional) Meds $2200 Insurance paid for everything else Nursing and medical assistant care We had good interactions with nurses and MAs and some of the MAs started to treat us like friends over time. One area that could use improvement is the prior authorization process for drugs - this is managed by MAs and there is no direct line to patients for questions and concerns. "You can't speak to them but we can pass along a message." I had a complex situation (two insurances with different rules) and really needed personalized help. I eventually - through sheer willpower - figured out who to speak to and their email address (and they were happy to help) and got them to submit the right authorizations but by then it was too late. I paid $2200 out of pocket for my meds and the next week an insurance approval letter arrived. Nothing was reimbursed because the approval came too late. Focus on patient comfort IVF treatment is not comfortable but it doesn't have to be traumatic and you should be in control. At RMA in my experience, if you don't advocate for yourself, you may find yourself in physically uncomfortable situations, usually mild but it was definitely upsetting for me at times. For example, if you prefer to insert the ultrasound wand or if you want Valium for procedures - you will have to know to ask. I expressed that I didn't want to do 9 weeks of IVF progesterone shots and my doctor agreed to do a natural cycle - had I not asked, it might not have been offered. Some doctors at RMA don't do any natural cycles. I also turned down the hysteroscopy procedure because of anticipated discomfort and they were not happy - I had to really put my foot down. Eventually they offered to do it under anesthesia to try to convince me, I still said no. My mock transfer and FET transfer were also tricky, taking almost 20 minutes each, and they did present me with options like Valium and even anesthesia for the FET after the mock transfer left the doctor sweating but I had to ask. One other thing I noticed that really bothered me is that the receptionist asks male patients dropping off sperm if they've abstained from sex SO LOUDLY that everyone in the waiting room can hear. Give the guy a little privacy, come on. Communication I was pleased with the communication processes from RMA. There are multiple ways to receive your results and there is always someone to answer your questions. If they say they're going to call, they always do. Instructions for medication administration are thorough and you always know what to expect. Overall result RMA delivered on their promise and got me pregnant with one round of IVF, which is what they expected (they said it was about a 70% chance per round if you do PGT testing). I would recommend them to other patients with the caveat that you should have a perspective on what you want, pick the doctor that suits you, and stick up for yourself.

I didn't expect the transition to motherhood to be a hard as it was for me. Georgette was encouraging and provided amazing support both physically (sleep!) and emotionally. Suddenly my husband and other loved ones were asking ME what the baby needed and I had no idea. It was so reassuring when she came in and answered my questions and even took over when I just needed a break and needed sleep. She knew how to soothe my precious son and it was so reassuring to leave him in good hands for the night while I enjoyed incredibly restorative sleep. I wish the cost was lower so this service could be available to each and every mom. Everyone needs a doula!! It's a beautiful time in life but knowledgeable and confident support is needed.

We reached out to Georgette and she was able to accomodate our relatively last minute request. We had a few different doulas - though if you plan ahead I believe they would typically pair you with one - and all of them were excellent.
