    I delivered my son naturally at the BirthCenter and I could not have done it…read morewithout care and attention of my nurse and midwife. I had a very intense and fast labor and they were with me every step of the way. My first birth experience was very long and horrible in a hospital setting. However, this time around I felt in control and empowered to deliver without medical intervention. I delivered my son on the toilet and into a room full of love. Thanks Lifecycle!

    I transferred my care from an ob to Lifecycle because I knew people who had delivered here. I…read moredidn't want to feel like my pregnancy/birth was just something that happened to me. Throughout my journey I appreciated their patient education, empowerment, and support so I could make informed decisions about my care. I like that my prenatal visits were longer than I could expect with an ob and that they provided a binder for me to bring with assigned homework each visit. Rather than having a "birth plan" (because they usually don't go as planned anyway) we were encouraged to think about our hopes and dreams. Everyone I've met here from the nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, lactation consultants, the clinical director, etc. have all been wonderful to me and if I could do it all over again I would have become a patient here sooner. I had many questions along the way so I'm going to be detailed here so others may know what to expect. Before you can become a patient here you have to attend a seminar to learn more about their midwifery model of care, the differences between a birth in their suites vs. at Bryn Mawr Hospital nearby (you can plan to deliver there or there may be reasons you are transferred there the day of, the nurse midwife on call has the clearance to deliver there), postpartum care, and next steps to become a patient. After attending the seminar, I had to sign a medical release forms to have my records transferred from my previous provider before I could schedule any appointments. They have two locations (Bryn Mawr and South Philly) and prenatal visits could be with the same provider or different providers. The first prenatal visit is longer and billed separately while the rest of the appointments are billed to insurance together under their global plan after delivery (not after each appointment). During my regular prenatal visits they measured my fundal height and would feel my bump for the baby's position while estimating weight (they were pretty good at that)! I had to pay for lab tests and non-stress tests separately. While I had to do my formal ultrasounds elsewhere, they had the equipment to do informal ultrasounds just to check on the health of the baby and seemed to be training their staff to do these more. I was required to schedule several classes to prepare for childbirth (series of 4 classes), about lactation essentials, and about navigating your first days at home after birth. The instructors really encourage asking questions and participation, so it was helpful to have this intimate space for that. The dates and cost of these classes are available on their site but you can't schedule them until you're confirmed as a patient. After your delivery they will follow up with you (home visit if you delivered at the birth center or phone call if you delivered at the hospital). There will be a 6-weeks postpartum visit to examine you and make sure your body is recovering but also to check on your mental health (so necessary and important)! They also have weekly lactation support and new parent support groups that were happening on Zoom, I think they are also now offering in-person options too. I could tell from the session I went to that the other families really found this space helpful and were wanting to offer encouragement to newer parents like me while sharing about their knowledge/experience. Cara, one of the lactation consultants, facilitates the virtual groups and is amazing! I hope all this information helps anyone who is considering becoming a Lifecycle patient because the last thing a pregnant woman should have to worry about is the quality of care she is receiving.

    had a surgery for an ovarian cyst about two months ago now. the surgery went fine, then the first…read moretwo week apt after was fine. all the sudden i couldnt get in contact with her, and my period was extremeley painful to the point i went to the hospital (same one i had the surgery at) both months due to being sick and pain. still couldnt get in contact with her, then my period was over 10 days late so i was trying to get in contact with her the entire time till finally she calls and tells me to take a pregnancy test and call her back, and eventually went back to the er and took a test both at home and in the hospital and it was negative. but again i couldnt get in contact with her. another couple weeks pass, and im still calling almost every day leaving voicemails. the automated machine just keeps ringing and ringing like no one ever answers the phone. at this point i have gotten my period and it has been gone for at least a week now. finally today i get a call from whoever works there, and then get put on hold for 5 minutes immediately, then the woman who answers next has no idea the situation and just keeps asking for a reason to schedule, and i told her period pain after surgery and i need to see the doctor who did it because its been two months and still i cant get in contact, so she ends up getting argumentative and saying "im the one asking the questions here" "listen here i could be your mother" as if i was being unreasonable, and her tone was so demeaning and belittling. she wouldnt schedule me an appt and just kept asking me the same questions over and over and over and when i answered she would argue with me or act confused, when i was being clear that i just wanted to see a doctor in person!! i am tired of being ignored and mistreated after you operated on me. would not recommend to anyone and am gonna find a new gyno because this is just disgusting treatment. update - manager Stacey called me and i said i havent been able to contact yall since my surgery and she said "why because you couldnt pick up the phone or" and i said "ive been blowing up yalls phone and leaving messages and all it does is ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring no response" and she goes "okay you're not gonna talk to me like that" so i said f u and hung up this was my first surgery and i was experiencing pain after, and all i got in response to trying to schedule an appointment was arguments.

Sometimes you have to wait but that is to be expected as the sole practitioner. I'd rather wait here then at a doctors office that runs like a factory. You are not a number here! Best practice in town.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Wolfson. From the moment I walked…read morein, she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. We spent over 30 minutes simply talking before any testing was even done, which meant so much to me. It's rare to find a doctor who truly listens to your concerns and wants to understand the full picture rather than rushing through the appointment as though I am cattle. What I appreciated most was that she focused on finding the root cause of my issues instead of immediately prescribing antibiotics, which have repeatedly failed me in the past. She offered thoughtful at-home remedies and approaches that made me feel genuinely cared for and supported. Something that was super important to me is that the vitamins/supplements she suggested were ones without additives, just clean ingredients which I have at times spent hours searching the web for. It's comforting to know she gets it and I can fully trust her recommendations. On top of that, the annual exam was the most gentle, thorough, and comfortable I've ever had. As soon as I left the office, I called my sister and two of my closest girlfriends to tell them about my experience because I was that happy! They thought I was crazy for going to someones home but I knew in my gut it was what I've been looking for. Glad to share that I was right again :) If you have any reservations, let me negate them, her home was one of the most comforting places I've been, it feels healing, inviting, and warm. It's like your moms artsy friends house you went to as a kid who you just knew was the coolest in the 70s, and probably has killer stories you hope to hear when you're a little older. I'm beyond grateful to have found her and will always go back!

Dr. Wolfson's office is so inviting and comforting. We did a breathing exercise to help me meditate and relax my mind, her voice is very smoothing and I was able to feel less tense in my shoulders. Dr. Wolfson offers different Healing Arts Services that I definitely plan on making an appointment for. She has great energy and really cares about the body and mind, I had a great experience and I would absolutely recommend!

    If I am straight to the point, I have to say Dr. Gittens approach has restored my libido to where…read moreit was before my libido had tanked at just under 30 years old. I have been a patient of Dr. Gittens and his helpful team for about two years now. I'm leaving this review two years later because the end of a year (2018) makes us think. I'm thinking about how Dr. Gittens drastically changed my life for the better. Prior to my first consultation (29 years old) I had somehow lost my libido overnight, yet it took me at least four months to realize the change. Losing a strong libido just like that affected every facet of my life - relationships with women, relationships with family and my friends, and also my interest in hobbies and socializing. I think the point I realized it was truly an issue was during an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation with my girlfriend at the time. I actively avoided anything sexual and when we did I had issues. It not only hurt her feelings thinking I am just not attracted to her, but also made me realize how serious it is that at just under thirty years old I was struggling. To put it simply, I was beyond confused and worried prior to my first consultation with Dr. Gittens. I didn't find him through a referral but instead through my own methods. His social media pages are active (good sign), he's been quoted in just about every popular magazine from Men's Health to Buzzfeed, he has positive reviews on Yelp, Google, and other places, he's won the Philadelphia Top Doctor Award multiple times (big deal if you know Philly well), checking his LinkedIn for even more information about where he went to school, that he taught as an adjunct professor, and his experience working as a Sexual Medicine Specialist for years. I called afterward to potentially schedule an appointment and it was a good sign that his team answered the phone on my first attempt because it shows Dr. Gittens and his team run a solid medical practice and are in sync. During that first consultation Dr. Gittens asked me about myself, lifestyle, medical history, current medications, why I was here (libido), and helped establish a timeline. This was all done in his Bala office with a second monitor facing me as he was able to better explain specifics about potential causes and what we would do to restore my libido. I came out feeling good mentally and got the specific medical labs Dr. Gittens requested. My second appointment shortly after was when we took-action. We discussed the problem in greater detail and with the labs Dr. Gittens to explain his thoughts clearly and with diagrams to demonstrate some points. Although my labs came out somewhat normal, Dr. Gittens was able to think outside of the box and not dismiss me like I expect other busy doctors would. The appointment ended with me trying a new medication. It worked well for some time and without side effects. My libido was not entirely back to normal but at least I was making progress. I followed up with Dr. Gittens every few months and over the past few years we have added a few more medications (nothing too serious) and over the past few years it has increased significantly nearly to the point before I had any problems. But it's never a clear path and I guess that is where many patients give up - no matter what the person is being treated for. I trust Dr. Gittens and so we continued to adjust my medication while I also tried living a healthier lifestyle. It's a little more than week since the start of 2018 and I have had a consistent, very solid libido for at least six months now. That doesn't mean I'm done and don't need Dr. Gittens help anymore. My body will continue to change as I age and my lifestyle changes. I don't expect my current regimen to be permanent. That would be completely unrealistic when it comes to something like sexual medicine. But for the time being everything is great and when my libido inevitably changes - 1 month or 10 years from now, I'll be returning to Dr. Gittens again for help and adjustments. But at the moment I have appointments no more than four times per year. What Dr. Gittens has done to help me is life-changing. Anyone reading this might not really "get it" until it happens to them. Sexual Medicine Specialists don't grow on trees. It's a very particular type of medical field and being able to find one of the few that are great at what they do is rare. Reflecting on 2018 I count Dr. Gittens as one of the most impactful people to my life this past year. Can I give six stars instead of five?

    Dr. Gittens is the best doctor I've seen. I've been to many doctors for treatment of erectile…read moredysfunction (ED), and he is the only doctor who has treated me effectively. Dr. Gittens is very detail and results-oriented. Most doctors just treat the symptoms with Viagra, but that only works temporarily. Dr. Gittens treats the underlying issues to get long-term solutions. I'm so pleased with the results that I travel regularly from Massachusetts to his offices in Pennsylvania and New York for office visits. When I'm not able to come into the office, we can make telehealth appointments.
