Dr. Rush may be competent, but the staff is a nightmare -- calls get hung up on, messages go unanswered, and even urgent situations are ignored. Appointments run more than an hour late, and even simple questions require another full visit. The nurses are kind, but the system is broken. Patients deserve better. You'll get more attention at a Planned Parenthood. Unless you enjoy being dismissed and disrespected, go elsewhere.

I've gone to River Place OB/GYN since I moved to Austin nearly 6 years ago now. Since my first…read morevisit, I knew that this office would be my home base for all of my women's care needs , no matter how far I needed to drive. I have always recommended this office to my friends, as the office is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the care is next level. Some years ago, I voiced my concerns to Dr. Shepherd about potentially having PCOS. She took my claim seriously and gave me a formal diagnosis, which is more than I can say about other doctors I had raised this concern to. The past couple of months, I have been going through an ectopic pregnancy, which was at first thought to be a miscarriage. Dr. Shepherd and Dana Wicker were the two primarily responsible for my care during this time. These two women were incredibly professional, informative, and diligent in care when it came to my health and the potential risks this could cause. In addition, they were kind and compassionate as my husband and I went through our loss and the health anxiety it caused. I can say with full confidence that while this experience was incredibly difficult and heartbreaking, it was made better by the bedside manner and care provided by this office. All that being said, I will continue to be a regular patient here and recommend to anyone looking for an OB/GYN.

Like other women on yelp... if I could give Dr. Abikhalid 6 stars I would too!…read more Office is clean, beautiful. Staff are nice, her appts run pretty much on time. Im a GenXer, entering perimenopause at 49yrs old. I just moved to TX fm Southern California where I had access to some of the best medical in the world HOAG, UCLA, USC medical centers. Looking back I was prob in peri around age 44-45 with heavy cycles, brainfog, back sweats, major insomnia. She was one of the ONLY MD's who actually listened, saw and heard me. Its NOT normal to "deal with our next phase female symptoms". I went for a second opinion on a hysterectomy after seeing another gyn who I felt was treating me like a paycheck vs a patient. I was also gaining weight at a rapid amt which has never happened in my entire life. Dr. Abikhaled listened to me, explained why I am indeed a candidate for a hysterectomy based on my labs, ultrasound, biopsy, symptoms. She was also transparent sharing if I didn't feel comfortable or confident with her, she had 2 other colleagues she could refer me to. THIS is the type of medicine I need for me. Dr. Abikhalid is also a very clear communicator. She is very frank while having a nice bedside manner which I appreciate. Fast forward to pre-surgery consultation, based on my case I discussed keeping my ovaries bc Im not in full meno yet and didn't want to slam into meno like some of my friends did. She agreed that was a good option for me. I had my hysterectomy, preserving my ovaries via robotic surgery. It was 90min, outpatient. She was sure to have my pain meds ordered ahead of time. I had 4 small incisions from the surgery. No bleeding. I was off oxy on day 3. Managed pain with Tylenol/motrin. 1 week out I felt pretty strong, an ab binder would have been useful for the 1st 2 weeks esp for sleeping so buy 1 ahead of time (amazon has tons). Helps for ab core support. 3 weeks I was doing short walks outside yet still got fatigued pretty easily. Got back on my hrt patch and no more brain fog, no more insomnia, no more swollen hands and ankles. 6weeks I felt strong and fatigue finally was gone. I was cleared to do light weights again. Im at 8weeks. Im back exercising. Lifting up to 30lb. Back to weight training. Feeling strong, clear headed, no more swelling in my feet/ankles, insomnia is very little and i still get "mild" back sweats around 2/3am. Nothing like pre-hysterectomy where i was sweating through my shirt. If you have peri symptoms and painful or super heavy cycles like I had that is NOT normal. See Dr. Abikahlid. She is one of the best in womens health.

Dr. Ariel Holley is the BEST!!!…read more Her knowledge, professionalism, customer service, & passion for her work is excellent. Dr. Holley was our Dr for our 2nd baby and has made my husband and I feel very comfortable & confident in her work & care for us. Never in rush & always there to answer any questions. As an inquisitive pregnant woman, she answered all my questions efficiently, thoroughly, & always went over and beyond what I needed to know. She is highly educated and very nice. I wouldn't trade her for the world and would highly recommend her to any woman looking for a TOP NOTCH OBGYN!! Dr. Holley is someone you can trust has your best interest at heart and truly loves her job. In today's age, that's very hard to find.

Not only is she knowledgeable and professional, but she possesses a loving and caring bedside manner that's second to no one. She takes the time necessary to answer your questions and explains things clearly. She equips you with information necessary so you have a clear understanding of your health challenges. She is kind and supportive and very thorough. A special shoutout to Heather for not only scheduling appointments and handling the paperwork necessary for my leave of absence from work, but for the care, comfort and support she offered every time I called and visited. Keep in mind, Dr. Meadows is an OB/GYN. Babies enter into the world when they are ready to be born, hence, Dr. Meadows may have to run to the hospital next-door to welcome a new arrival. So, be patient if you have to wait an hour. She'll be right back and so will I.

Bedside manner was awful but I may be able to excuse that if she didn't blatantly misdiagnose me.

Also, she said some very upsetting things about my choice to/not to have children so if you aren't the type want to be preached at about needing to have babies I would also steer clear of her.

I have been coming to Dr. Kodack faithfully for the past 15 years. In fact, she is the person I…read morehave known the longest in Texas - which is kind of weird. Best doctor I have had in my life - excellent surgeon, very attentive physician, very patient with questions, and hilarious. I love her - and will miss her. Why will I miss her? Am I moving? No, I am not - but, she is retiring from her Austin practice. I am writing this review out of tribute for her skills. And, as a partial recommendation on for her partner - Dr. Lozano, who a friend of mine uses and swears by. Also, their new physician, Dr. Kaplan, gets amazing reviews on Yelp. All that said, their front desk staff are off-putting. I have to steel myself to visit their offices, quite frankly. They are factory-focused, and usually not listening to your specific requests, even if you have done your homework, are informed that you are asking something for a reason, and are not wasting their time. They still won't listen to you, or, will dismiss your comment, which has, on occasion, messed up my follow-up lab work or scripts. The above is true only for the staff at the check-in / check-out desk. The staff writing prescriptions and taking vitals are all great.

Do you cringe when you think about the need to see a gynecologist? Even worse, can you imagine…read morehaving to undergo gynecological surgical procedures? When faced with the need to take care of my gynecology needs, I did the old fashioned thing, that is, I asked ladies I know who they would suggest. Amazingly, in one day, two friends both recommended Dr. Jonathan Buten. Both had very impressive recommendations. When I went to my own primary care physician, I was very happy to learn that Dr. Buten was also one of her recommended physicians. A little over 8 months later, I've been through a great deal of events with Dr. Buten, ranging from basic checkup, diagnostic testing, to most recently, major surgery and I feel it is important to place my artifact into this digital format to share with others who face similar daunting decisions. Dr. Buten is personable, and interacted with me in a warm and caring manner. He is very thorough in every aspect of his work. He used technology to show me what was going on with my "innards" and explained the options. He listened to my questions, gave thoughtful answers, and I always felt that we were a team working towards my best outcome. Additionally, the staff is helpful and friendly. Star is a welcoing first point of contact for the office. When faced with making the decision for gynecological care, I highly encourage you to see Dr. Buten.

Dr. Buten was very specific in explaining risk factors, citing research, and statisics to allow me to make a very informed decision. The surgery was virtually painless (laparascopic hysterectomy and oophrectomy). I was mildly sore for a day, back to mild exercise in 2 days, and full activity in 5 days. Dr. Buten is very personable, sharing casual personal conversation, and he respected my opinions and concerns. He definitely met my high standards when I half-joked that he could come release me from the hospital before he went to his office, rather than waiting until noon...and he did!
