    They always give me what I need, give me advice on how I can further positively tweak aspects of my life, and are very respectful

    My experience with this office raised serious concerns about the coordination and continuity of my…read morereproductive healthcare. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy in April 2025 after completing the scans, bloodwork and consultations requested by Dr. Bodon and surgeon Dr. Herman McDaniel. In February 2025, Dr. Bodon recommended Zepbound for weight loss before surgery. It took nearly two weeks for the prescription to reach the pharmacy, and a promised medication follow-up was never scheduled. I disclosed my medications during my surgical appointments with Dr. McDaniel, but I was never instructed during those visits to discontinue Zepbound before surgery. My April surgery was then canceled because I was told the wrong hospital had been scheduled. It was rescheduled for June. I had already made costly arrangements for the original date. When I contacted Director of Operations Elsa Gutierrez about what happened, I found her communication extremely dismissive and disrespectful. When I questioned why the insurance/network issue had not been verified before scheduling surgery, I was essentially asked, "You've been rescheduled, what do you want?" Before my June surgery, I saw Dr. McDaniel again. He initially appeared not to remember recently seeing me and was about to order another transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork until I reminded him that I was there for my pre-op appointment. During that appointment, after reviewing my vitamin D levels, he asked about my occupation and income. After learning I was self-employed, he gave me promotional material and his personal promotional code for a website with which he said he was affiliated. My understanding from the conversation was that he could financially benefit if the code was used. I found this concerning during a preoperative appointment, particularly because I received very little information about preparing for surgery. The week before my June surgery was chaotic. Less than a week beforehand, I had heard nothing regarding pre-op testing. Four days before surgery, a STAT lab order was being arranged. Two days before surgery, a hospital nurse asked about cardiology clearance, and I personally contacted my cardiologist to have it faxed. Then I learned that authorization had been obtained for the surgery but not the hospital stay. The hospital warned me surgery could be canceled without it. At approximately 4:30 p.m. THE DAY BEFORE SURGERY, while I was at the pharmacy picking up medications prescribed for my postoperative recovery, surgery coordinator Sarah called and told me the authorization had not been obtained and my surgery was canceled. This was my second canceled surgery after months of preparation. I called afterward requesting an appointment with Dr. Bodon but could not get one scheduled. At this time I was still experiencing extremely heavy bleeding. My insurance approved a referral related to obtaining medically necessary pads and told me to contact the office. An employee then told me my insurance was out of network, despite my having received care there for approximately six months. About ten minutes later, Sarah called and explained that this information was incorrect. She also told me the employee claimed I had been "getting all crazy" with her. From my perspective, I had simply been asking questions about my insurance and an approved referral. When I contacted Elsa again, she told me she was too busy to deal with the situation, repeatedly asked, "What do you want?" and ended the call. Afterward, I was never able to meaningfully reconnect with my physician. No follow-up appointment with Dr. Bodon was arranged, and my patient portal messages went unanswered. Yet prescriptions continued to be filled for months afterward, including Zepbound through approximately December 2025 and iron prescriptions later, despite no follow-up visits. I ultimately declined to schedule another hysterectomy with Dr. McDaniel because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding under his care. As of August 2026, approximately 14 months after the canceled June 2025 surgery, I have received no meaningful follow-up regarding my reproductive care and no response to my portal concerns. I understand that insurance authorizations, hospitals and medical scheduling can be complicated and mistakes happen. My concern is the cumulative pattern I experienced: two canceled surgeries, scheduling and authorization problems, last-minute pre-op coordination, conflicting insurance information, unanswered messages, lack of physician follow-up, and interactions with management that I experienced as dismissive and hostile. Women seeking serious reproductive healthcare deserve clear communication, continuity of care, careful coordination and respectful treatment. Based on my experience, I would not entrust this office with my reproductive surgical care again.

Like most in healthcare, her staff and she are overworked, underpaid and very busy. Look past the administrative crap and you'll find the best medical care in the area. Dr Bodon is the best for mid-life hormonal care.

    For three years, I faced a constant struggle with heavy bleeding that didn't seem to stop. It all…read morebegan when I decided to try hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage my health issues. Little did I know that this choice would lead to a chain of problems affecting my wellbeing. At first, I dismissed the heavy bleeding, thinking it was just an adjustment phase. I was busy with my work, making calls and ensuring coverage for people. I kept changing sanitary napkins every hour, feeling drained and weak from the non-stop blood loss. The situation was affecting my energy and health, but I carried on. As time passed, the issue became more serious. I visited many doctors, hoping to find answers. But none could figure out what was happening or how to fix it. The heavy bleeding, weight gain, and loss of nutrients were taking a toll on my body and mind. Then, I met Dr. Hicks, a doctor who finally understood my struggles. He spoke with confidence and assurance, saying we would find a solution. This gave me hope and trust in his expertise. Dr. Hicks did a biopsy the results of which led to a plan for a dilation and curettage ( the D&C procedure ). I felt motivated to get better and agreed to the procedure. It happened within a short time, and for the first time in years, the bleeding stopped. I could finally go about my day without feeling faint. Dr. Hicks wasn't just a doctor; he was also a guide who explained my options and the results of the surgery. He showed care and professionalism, which made me feel comfortable. Now, Dr. Hicks suggests a hysterectomy as the next step. This idea scares me, but I trust his experience and advice. Despite his youthful appearance, he has a kind way of dealing with patients that eases worries. His team at the surgery center also took great care of me during the procedure. Looking back, I'm thankful for this journey. Sharing my experience in this review is important, so others can find help too. Dr. Hicks's dedication and skill deserve recognition, even though the thought of a hysterectomy isn't easy to accept. As I think about the path to recovery, I'm open to hearing from others who might have advice. This journey has been tough, but it led me to regain control over my health. For that, I'm grateful.

    WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR.COBB!! I can't say enough wonderful…read morethings about Dr. Cobb! He followed me through half of my pregnancy, delivered my baby, and took care of my stitches. He is so patient, attentive, caring, sweet, and funny, and he's also very well-spoken and easy to communicate with. Even though he's extremely busy, he always makes sure his patients feel heard and cared for. Before delivering my baby, he had just helped another mom deliver and came to me right after. I know he must have been exhausted, but he still provided me with the same attentive and thorough care and made sure everything was done perfectly. He even continued checking on me after delivery to make sure I was recovering well. My whole family loves him, and I'm so grateful I found him! Please go see Dr. Cobb -- he truly won't disappoint you!!

He has a way of listening and speaking that makes me feel like I matter, and my desires are worth listening to. He is an incredibly talented Dr and I am so grateful that I was able to have my second delivered by him. I don't know how this is possible but he doesn't seem to have been jaded by the medical field nor is he a slave to the system - he is one of a kind and an excellent advocate for women. I come from a family of Doctors so I say this with respect -- but most have an ego about them and I have felt patronized and dismissed by some. Dr Cobb is not that way at all. He is both confident and humble in his care. He made me feel safe and cared for. He has a way about him that is integrous and highly capable. If you are a mom carrying a piece of you into the world you probably feel both the heavy responsibility and fear of getting it right. Personally giving birth has been one of the most important moments of my life. Having the best Doctor by your side makes all the difference

    If you have the option to choose another clinic instead of this one, I strongly recommend doing so…read more Apparently, the doctor at this clinic will take it personally if you ever can't wait two hours for him and will drop you as a patient in the middle of your pregnancy. I ultimately left this practice because I simply couldn't deal with it anymore. No matter how many appointments I had, I was always waiting in the exam room for over an hour. I genuinely don't understand the point of making an appointment if patients are still expected to sit there for hours. In early May, I waited TWO HOURS in the exam room. I ended up seriously inconveniencing my clients at work because I never expected that a scheduled appointment could take that long before the doctor actually came in. And what was the appointment for? Basically just asking how I was feeling and how I was eating. That's it. It honestly felt like the clinic was scheduling unnecessary appointments just to bill insurance while making patients wait for hours. And when it came to important medical information, I often had to find the answers myself and then bring them to the doctor. For example, I have a negative blood type and my husband has a positive one. I had to learn from online forums that this can require a specific injection during pregnancy. When I asked my doctor about it, his response was basically, "Oh, your husband is positive? Well, yes, then you'll need the injection." Wait... isn't this something the doctor is supposed to ask about and monitor? Why am I having to research important pregnancy-related issues myself and then bring the information to my doctor just to confirm it? Then in June, my appointment had to be rescheduled because the doctor wasn't available on Wednesday. I came in for the new appointment and waited for 40 minutes. I couldn't wait any longer because I had to get to work, and this appointment had already been moved to a day that wasn't convenient for me. I asked what was going on and why I was constantly waiting so long. One employee genuinely tried to help me and went to ask the doctor what was happening. Another employee, however, became defensive and told me that I hadn't even been waiting for 50 minutes yet and that this was a completely normal wait time because there were other patients. I asked, "Then what's the point of scheduling appointments at specific times if patients are expected to wait for hours anyway?" I was told that if I wasn't happy, nobody was forcing me to stay and I was free to leave. Well, thank you. That was my last appointment at this clinic. On top of everything else, they repeatedly sent the wrong medication prescription to my pharmacy, completely ignoring the specific form of the medication I needed. Every time, I had to call the clinic and ask them to send the correct prescription because the medication they initially prescribed wasn't suitable for me. I have since found a new doctor and a new clinic, and the difference is night and day. I'm seen on time and finally feel like I'm receiving the care and attention I deserve. Unfortunately, I also had to complete additional tests and screenings that should have been done earlier in my pregnancy at Dr. Dennis Roberts' clinic, but for some reason were never completed. Pregnancy and childbirth are such an important and vulnerable time in a person's life. I strongly recommend finding another clinic if you have the option. Based on my experience, this is not a place where I felt properly cared for or supported.

    It's OK, but the front desk can certainly use a refresher in manners…read moreDoctor was very good and respectful Took care of me thoroughly. I was a happy patient. I am just not happy with the front desk people at all and I dread calling back to make an appointment there.
