I cannot say enough good things about PA Katie McDonald. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely heard, respected, and cared for--something that is unfortunately rare in women's healthcare. She took the time to truly listen, never rushed the appointment, and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Her professionalism, compassion, and knowledge created a safe, judgment-free environment and made what can often be an uncomfortable visit feel empowering and reassuring. I left feeling confident in my care and grateful to have found a provider who treats patients as people, not just appointments. Katie sets the standard for what quality women's healthcare should be. I highly recommend Katie! read more

I have been going here for 14 years and got my medications prescribed by the doctor. They helped with birthing all four of my kids. I got extreme post-partum and they helped figuring out what medication I needed. Then I got divorced, my insurance changed. You let me pay cash and that went on for awhile. Then I get a call that said "sorry, we can't accept cash anymore so we can't make any more appointments for you. I was upset and said well how am I going to get my medications filled, the girl in the office said I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you. I asked if I could speak to the doctor that was seeing me and she said I'll let her know to give you a call. No call. I called again and left a voicemail. Nothing. No response. So I ran out of sertraline and had to just quit. I would think they would understand what that can do to someone. I was shocked that a doctor's office would do that. I don't need to let you know all the side effects I received as a result of that. They don't care about people, only about getting paid. read more

So I went to See Dr. Sobolewski yesterday for some postpartum complications. I am 4 mos pp and I am still an emotional mess and I left feeling so much better mentally and physically. He is very personable and talks to you like a person and listened to all my concerns. He ordered labs and changed my meds no questions asked.I do not see anyone else, even though they are all wonderful and competent. It is so important to have trust with your providers and have a good relationship with them to make you feel comfortable and he does just that. He puts his patients first. Generations is the best practice for a reason. There is also a lab below the office which makes testing super convenient. The front desk people are super welcoming and friendly and will do whatever you need to make you comfortable! 10/10 highly recommend read more

I have decided to rate my gynecologist's office on 3 categories: ambiance, how terrible of a time I have there, & care. Ambiance 4/5: I am docking 1 star because, during my pap smear of '21, I was staring up at the ceiling while they were inspecting my cervix and saw a corncob-sized centipede. I give 4/5 stars on how terrible of a time I have there. The ladies know getting an IUD inserted is like taking a girl's trip to Guantanamo Bay military prison with President Bush post 9/11. Last Tuesday, I was pleasantly surprised when I went in for my IUD replacement appt with Dr. Paul, and he offered me laughing gas; though I still felt like I was in labor, at least I had cracked up the entire time. Leaving that appointment, I felt like I was leaving the casino at 4 a.m on a Sunday morning after breaking even on the slots: a survivor. Moving onto care, 5/5 stars: the most important part is that the docs and PAs/NPs I've seen here do an outstanding job, so it's okay with me that there was a loose animal that came out of the pipes during my pap smear read more

Wanted to review generations because I have had such a wonderful experience so far. Was super worried to switch and thankfully I did. I, unlike other reviewers, do not feel rushed at ALL by any of the doctors. They are so accommodating in urgent situations. Dr. McCloskey took the time to get me in on a lunch break just to be sure I was satisfied. Dr. Houston and Dokowski are great as well, very educated and informative. Best of all my experience with Dr. Sobolowski. I had a breached baby, head up and decided to do an ECV to try and turn the baby (which has only half a success rate). Dr. Sobolowski was able to flip the baby safely. Thanks to him I was able to have a natural birth. It's a great office read more

Generations OB-GYN provides wonderful care! I am experiencing my first pregnancy and they always are patient, receptive, and responsive. Whenever I have a question, they call me back promptly and during my appointments I do not feel rushed. They ensure I am comfortable and all of my questions are answered. I've seen almost every doctor throughout my pregnancy and they have all been amazing! Highly recommend!! read more

If there was a way to give this practice a negative star, we would. Our family chose this practice because of its subspecialty tailored toward teen gynecological services. However, the lack of professionalism demonstrated by the administrative staff dealing with a simple billing issue left us mortified and embarrassed. The office manager at #GenerationsOB-GYN was arguably one of the most unprofessional medical individuals our family has ever had the misfortune to interact with. Modern medicine billing practices are opaque at best and most individuals rely upon the honesty of their physician's practice to bill honesty. And, to avoid embarrassing details, I am prevented from going into detail, but I do want to warn other potential new customers of what may lie ahead. This is not to impugn the physicians or other mid-level medical staff -- this is a billing error the practice refuses to even acknowledge. While we aren't talking $1000s, the larger point is how we were treated as new patients to a practice that ostensibly should be sensitive given the nature of its clientele. Dawn handled things about as poorly and unprofessionally as one could: good people can disagree, but Dawn made a spectacle of the disagreement -- in public. It was awful and embarrassing; it runs afoul of best practices and how anyone should be treated. I would rather risk further embarrassment by posting this and saving those considering this practice the humiliation we were caused than anyone else suffering the same fate. read more

Had a terrible experience here with my first baby. You are always passed around to new doctors so you can't build a relationship and get comfortable with just one. My delivery experience was AWFUL I won't go into details but I left and it was the best decision I ever made. This place haunts me every time I drive past it. I'm so happy I am not there anymore read more

I do not like to write negative reviews but I want as many women as possible to be warned before choosing Generations as their care provider. Do NOT choose this practice. It is clear that their top priority is high capacity clientele and monetary profit. The doctors are short with patients during each visit. I brought multiple concerns forward during my pregnancy - signs pointing to preeclampsia; they were all dismissed. After a complicated delivery I stayed for 2 extra days in the hospital then was sent home. After being home for ONE day I developed post partum preeclampsia!! The doctors didn't even warn me that this could happen, and didn't give me a plan for monitoring it. The only reason I knew I had preeclampsia was because I had educated myself and read about it. I have spoken with other professionals in this field who have explained that there are precautions which could have been taken that weren't in my situation. This whole experience caused me significant trauma and I don't believe the doctors truly cared about my health or the healthiest delivery. ** Dr. Sobolewski is the exception. He was always patient with me and explained everything thoroughly. If I could see only him I would continue to visit this practice. read more

I received a call from the office manager and we discussed the issue outlined in my previous review. She was extremely apologetic for my experience and noted that there will be some form of racial sensitivity training for ALL the staff due to this incident. I was very impressed with how the office manager handled my concerns, not just about my treatment but for the next minority patient they will treat. While I won't be able to return to my previous provider (and I do wish them all the best - it's just too awkward now), I will consider returning for treatment with another provider at the clinic after the staff has received further cultural sensitivity training. I'd like to thank Candy Phillips for reaching out to me in attempts to make this right. read more

I truly loved my doctor however the support staff are not kind or helpful. Perhaps that's a generalized statement. The one lady in billing literally hung up on me after cutting me off while speaking. I am more than a customer I am your client. It is unfortunate that I have to walk away from a doctor I truly adored because the office staff was rude and unprofessional. I hope they look into this and do better. read more

Wish I could give them negative stars. So unprofessional and fat phobic. Staff and Dr.s are extremely rude!

Office is nice, timing is good. You are usually seen close to your appt time. Just wanted to review a few doctors and my experiences with them. Dr. Sanborn is one of the original doctors, is good and has been around for a long time but probably ready to retire soon. I heard Dr. Soboleski is a good surgeon, he seems nice but doesn't get back with his patients. Says he will call and doesn't so you are left waiting and wondering for weeks or months unless you check your portal or call the office for results. If you are concerned about something, it's very difficult to get in touch with him. Dr. Mcklosky is good, quick and usually returns calls. She is pretty matter of fact and if not sure about something, gets you to the right person. I think she is getting ready to retire soon and hours are here & there. Dr. Perlin seems nice, is young, but not warm & fuzzy if you're looking for that it's not her. Office usually books 2-3 months in advance. These are again just my experiences with each doctor so far. Good Luck ! read more

I highly recommend Generations! I felt so taken care of my whole pregnancy! I ended up having my baby 6 weeks early due to preeclampsia. It was a pretty traumatic experience that left me delivering in the ICU due to breathing complications. Dr. Perlin delivered my baby and I'm so extremely thankful for her and her care during such a difficult time. Every doctor I had the pleasure of seeing at this practice met me with kindness and compassion. I will definitely continue coming here for routine care along with future pregnancies! read more

I came here because of a personal recommendation in December. I'd long suspected endometriosis and gave them a list of all of my symptoms. They gave me a pelvic exam and ultrasound, and Jeanna, not even a doctor, told me "we didn't find anything so I do not think you have endometriosis. You should go to a GI for your issues, we can't help you here." Well it's September now and after finding a team and doctor that ACTUALLY LISTEN TO ME I am now diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis. Do not come here for anything that isn't pregnancy, they will not help you. read more

No kids, so I use it strictly for gyno issues, but really like the place. I have been seeing Dr Jamie Loehrke (I used to see Cynthia Paige but she is out on extended medical) and they are both great. Super easy to talk to, appointments fly by. I love how quickly they get you in and out. The office is super efficient, and now they have mammograms and a clinic for blood draws in the same building. Soooooo much easier. The office is pro-NovaSure (Endometrial Ablation). I know a decent sampling of ppl who have had the procedure with varied results. I'm not a huge fan - just for an opinion in case youre considering. read more

I came three times for consults about unexplained infertility as nothing could be found as wrong on testing for my husband or me. I asked to be put on metformin, clomid or have an IUI, as many larger friends have done. I was told I was too big to have any, which is ironic since metformin makes you lose weight, and was not provided any solutions. My blood pressure wasn't taken at an appt, and none of my other normal vitals were analyzed, just an observation that I'm short and larger so my BMI is too high for a pregnancy. 41% of women in the US have obese BMIs, and we all know BMI is an outdated system that doesn't apply today. Only helping people with ideal bodies conceive is eugenics. I've never been discriminated for my weight before so being denied medical care by two Generations medical professionals after I had been coming here for 8 years is heartbreaking. I will be filing a report with Michigan's attorney general and am working with media to share a story on the discrimination I experienced. read more

I wish I could give them a zero star rating. I delivered my first child with this group. I specifically told them that I did not want any medical students to experiment on me during labor. But, of course, my wish was ignored and during the episiotomy, the inexperienced student sewed me up wrong. I was charged by Generations to fix my issue even though it was not my fault and would never have happened had they listened to me. I also specifically stated that I did not want my infant to have a pacifier until breastfeeding was established. Of course that wish was ignored. I would highly recommend people to stay away from Generations if you want your birth plan to be followed. read more

I'm very happy I found Erin Marie! What an amazing doctor! And I really enjoyed my visit! I want to thank her for being absolutely the best!

I went to this doctors office about a year ago, they told me i was being dramatic about my pain and told me to lose 60 pounds then come back and they'll check into it IF i'm still having pain. i obviously went to another doctor and my doctor found a large tumor the size of a baseball on my ovary!! so unless you wanna get ignored for the sole reason of being fat, i wouldn't go here. read more

I am a patient here. Nikki, the PA was absolutely amazing. She was so gentle and kind during the exam. I had specific concerns and she was very helpful and sensitive to them. She also has great bedside manner, which is important during visits like these! I have also seen Dr Loehkre who is just as great! I will definitely continue to be a patient here! read more

The staff was very nice and thank you for getting me in and Jenna was nice and she fixed my problem From Alexis Fisher read more

Old staff was much better. Not sure why the receptionists have gotten so rude. I used to talk to the sweetest woman named Sandy and she was always so gentle and accommodating. The new staff is definitely not that. I also don't like the fact that I was checked and nobody discovered cysts in my breasts except MYSELF. I don't feel like their job is very efficient at all. read more

I needed a follow up mammogram and needed a script. I called multiple times beginning Friday and through the following Thursday. Left multiple messages for Erin. The appointment desk left a paper note for her and still she did not return my call. When I called back to the appointment desk, they did check with her while i was on hold and she said she put it in the mail....to me.... Now if she would have returned my call which I would expect i could have given her the fax number. But they told me to wait. i hope this is not the famous check's in the mail. read more

Love this place. When I moved back home from Ann Arbor, I faced a problem many like me have faced... where do I find a good gyno? I mean really, this isn't the type of thing to take lightly. You want to feel comfortable and trust all your doctors, particularly this kind of doctor. Since my mother's recommendation was the man who delivered me and is in many way pretty much an uncle to me, he was out. Then there were all the ones who work with my father, but they felt a little too close for comfort. I mean I love that my dad is a doctor in pretty much all other areas of my medical needs, but I don't really want him to be buddy buddy with my gyno. So that left me with one final option... ask my friends. So the first friend I asked suggested Generations. She said she really liked her doctor and the clinic, and that she actually found out about this place through our other friend. I already felt confidant in wanting to schedule an appointment, but I still asked our other friend about it. She said she did not go there anymore because of a change in insurance, but that she loved that place and her mom loved that place and that I should definitely go. So I scheduled my appointment. When I went there, the staff was really friendly and the office was really nice. Now maybe it shouldn't matter what a place looks like (and I mean if the doctor was terrible it wouldn't have), but it made me happy that is was a nice clinic. It was pretty and clean. Sitting in the waiting area, I felt like I was going to be catered to or something. The nurse who took me back to my room was very friendly. Then there was my doctor. She was sweet and young and cute. She was probably in her early 30s, but she didn't seem inexperienced or anything. Looking back, I easily could've been uncomfortable with her because of her youth, but I wasn't. There was something very easing about her presence. Not only did I trust her, but I felt like we could relate to each other, which I think is especially important when it comes to a doctor of such an intimate nature. She was very professional, but she was also just enough of a friend to make the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable (relatively speaking, of course, because how enjoyable can a gyno appointment really be?). In sum, I would definitely, without hesitation recommend this place to anyone who has compatible insurance. I'm going back next month, so I'll let you guys know if my high recommendation changes. read more

The office staff is confused. We verified by phone two days prior to the appointment that a second person would be able to attend the ultrasound. I flew in specifically for this event as the father was unavailable. Upon arrival the story changed and ONLY a significant other was allowed in. Perhaps the office staff should hold a meeting and clarify the policies prior to informing patients. This has been a very frustrating experience and added stress on an already high risk pregnancy. read more

What a shame! I was hoping to see Dr. Lippincott. Sat on the phone for an hour and then the scheduler came on the phone and was snotty and hung up. No thanks. They should be ashamed to have this woman on their staff. They should also be ashamed that you can only schedule via online. read more

I was referred to Generations from a friend who had good experiences here. Me, not so much. On 5 different appointments I had to wait 30 to 45 minutes to be seen. One time they took me back for an ultra sound, which i needed, but when we were getting ready to do it the technician realized she had the wrong chart and was getting ready to check me for stuff that another patient with the same first name had. I had to get dressed and I was sent back to the waiting room and had to wait another 15 minutes before I went back in. Anytime they send you a statement in the mail they charge $5. Also, I had an outstanding bill and I called and set up payment arraignments and they still sent me to collections. I was told by Danielle that they didn't remember my payment arraignment and they had no control over my bill being sent to collections; that the collection company took my account and they had to make their money and that they couldn't get it back. When I called the collection place to make a payment the girl told me that they could have taken my name of their list and that they didn't buy the account. She said they could have gotten back if they wanted to. The doctors are really nice but the girls that run the office don't know what they are doing. They take no responsibility for their mishaps and don't try to go above and beyond to help when the issue is on their end. read more

After a horrible experience at another OBGYN, I switched to Generations in 2015 after multiple friends recommended the practice. I have seen PA Nikki Vinckier consistently for all my appointments and she provides compassionate care, patiently answering any and all questions I may have and providing unbiased information about the options surrounding my health. I never feel rushed, receive timely test results and answered questions via telephone, and everyone at the office has always been extremely kind and pleasant to interact with. I recommend this practice to all of my friends, and several of them go here and feel the same way! read more

I started going here based on a friend's recommendation after finding out I was pregnant. So far I have been in the office twice and everyone has been very friendly and helpful. The office is very comfortable and they have a lot of appointment times to choose from! My first appointment I met with nurse Erin, she was very thorough and answered all of my questions. The second appointment I had an ultrasound and met with the new doctor, Dr. Sobolewski. He took the time to welcome me to the practice and answer questions/go over my ultrasound before making me change into that uncomfortable paper gown (which I thought was very nice). So far I am very glad with my choice to start going here! It's also a bonus that they do ultrasounds and blood work on site! read more

Dr. Loehrke is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life. She told me at one point that if I didn't have a surgical procedure that I was going to die. Nothing like trying to scare your patients because you think you know better. The condition did not require the procedure. Turns out she has a background in surgery. Attempted to contact the office manager then, and never heard back. I started to see a different doctor there after the incident with Loehrke - Dr. Huston. She was great and friendly. I saw her for years after the first terrible doctor that traumatized me. I made an appointment months ago for today, because if you don't answer the phone or call them back immediately when the books open you can't get in. I waited for over 40 minutes both in the waiting room and in the private room and asked twice about my appointment because I took off work to get there. Apparently Dr. Huston was in with another patient who needed her. I can understand that, but should have been apologized to when I was there and offered to reschedule rather than having to get up and walk out to get back to work.I ended up leaving before being seen. I talked to the office manager and told them I had to take off work an hour and a half today to not be seen. She wanted to reschedule me but could not before or after my work hours. I refuse to have my time wasted anymore by this practice. EDIT: Dr. Huston came in early so I could have my regular visit as they were not able to see me last week. She was able to see me before I had to go to work and said she will work with me. I really appreciate this in her. I would give Dr. Huston 5 stars, but since I am rating Generations itself, I have to give it three stars due to the other doctor and the office manager. read more

Please take a moment to read this review about my experience at Generations OBGYN in Birmingham, MI. I am 16 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from extreme Hyperemesis. The day of my appointment, January 13, was the first day I was actually beginning to feel normal again. I took a paid day off of work to go to the appointment; I had been so sick and pretty much unable to care for my 1 year old daughter for several weeks due to my condition so I decided to spend the day with her after my appointment. Unfortunately, things happened that morning that caused me to be 13 minutes late to my appointment. Upon arrival with my daughter in hand, I was immediately told by the receptionist, Jennifer, that children were not allowed and I have to reschedule my appointment. She then mentioned a text message that was sent prior to my appointment indicating children were not allowed; that obviously was not written in the text message. I am sure that you can imagine my sentiment at that time. Needless to say, my hormones have been raging and I was really taken back by the treatment I was receiving. I am a very kind person and treat everyone with great respect so I was honestly very offended by the way the staff handled the situation. Onlookers felt bad for me and even offered to stay with my baby in the waiting area while I went in for my check-up; but the office denied that option. The receptionists, Jennifer and Laura teamed up against me as I was trying to figure out a solution for my daughter so I would not have to reschedule, they told me very rudely to step out to the lobby. They then proceeded to lie and say that my baby was coughing and that I was trying to switch my appointment with other patients, which that did NOT happen. The patient was simply trying to help care for my daughter. This is my second pregnancy with them. I had absolutely no issues with the first pregnancy; I actually grew extremely fond of the nurses and doctors, Erin Good is one of my favorite nurses. But after I received the unexpected treatment from the front desk staff I began to search for a new OBGYN. After a week of searching, I decided to stick with Generations. So I called to speak to the office manager, Candy Phillips, to settle the situation and hope for a better outcome. Even though I was told I would get a call from her but after a week of silence from Generations I decided to call myself. I truly couldn't believe what she told me: at 16 weeks pregnant, after suffering an awful first trimester, I was being terminated as a patient. I've never been terminated from anything before so you can imagine how sick and hurt I felt. And then to be accused of another incident with their billing department was out right shocking. Peg from billing was extremely helpful and caught a mistake on my statement from Generations that I was over charged, she corrected the mistake and all I have been asking billing for is my statement to assure no other mistakes were made. And they call that "being difficult" I have every right to know what I am being charged for. I am extremely upset and appalled with the way the staff has handled the situation and the unimaginative treatment I've received from some of the staff members. I would never expect an OBGYN office to put a pregnant woman under so much stress. I understand there are rules and regulations especially during this time, but as a doctor's office, they should consider the needs of their patients and help in any way possible rather than turn them away. It is clear that this office cares more about its staff than its patients. So please reconsider if you want the best care for you and your baby and avoid being caught in a situation like mine. read more

I truly can't even put into words how much I love all the staff and doctors at Generations. Over the past 10 years they have provided excellent care during my singleton and twin pregnancy. When the doctors come in the room it's like I'm their only patient and they take so much time going over our plan of care, which was extremely important during my twin pregnancy! Throughout both of my pregnancies I never questioned care because I knew I had the best team of doctors looking over me and my babies. Trust me when I say EVERY single providers is spectacular, I saw them every 1-2 weeks for 9 months... we got to know one another! I recommend all my family and friends to them & you would be lucky to use them as a provider! read more

Decided to leave the Dr office I was previously at to try out generations. Although they're 35 min away from where I live it's worth every drive. So far I have to say I've never ever seen a group of staff members so nice so kind so patient. I haven't seen the doctors enough to tell you how great they're but will keep y'all posted! So far so good. read more

The front desk was not helpful at all. They did wrong billing and are not interested in changing it. Nobody was interested in my results. After I had surgery at the hospital and came for the next visit to the office nobody looked into the file, no interest into the patient. I am very disappointed. It is ok for a routine check-up so don't expect more. read more

I am so grateful for this practice. I have met most all of the providers and they are ALL wonderful. From the first visit with the very informative and knowledgable Nurse Practitioner, Kate, I was impressed. I was lucky enough to have Dr. Dykowski deliver our baby this year. I am so appreciative of his thorough and efficient explanations, patience, and compassion. Dr. Loerke was also wonderful and genuinely cared and checked in on us. Lastly, the front desk staff were kind and great at their jobs. read more

I'm not sure why all the negative reviews are "not recommended" but it's a little concerning that potential patients are not able to be fully informed before making an appointment with Generations. I was a patient here for 9 years. Over the past 3 years I had almost monthly ultrasounds due to severe pain. They always brushed it off by saying "the ultrasound was clear, you probably had an ovarian cyst rupture" I expressed strong concerns over the possibility of having endometriosis like my mother, and they said they wouldn't do the surgery to diagnose it- but could give me a hormonal IUD to help the pain. At this point, my doctor was VERY aware that I did not want to take hormonal contraceptives unless I knew I had endometriosis and needed the hormones to regulate it. I was disappointed that in what ended up being my final appointment with Generations- the doctor seemed like she was irritated that I didn't immediately agree to have the IUD inserted right then and there. She asked me to make an appointment for the following Monday, and when I didn't schedule an appointment for the IUD insertion, I got a rude phone call asking why I hadn't scheduled yet. I said I was still deciding if that's what I wanted to do (bad experiences with hormonal birth control in the past- which should have been well documented in my chart) this just left a really bad taste in my mouth. So at the recommendation of my coworker, I went to another practice for a second opinion. On my first appointment they found a uterine polyp that was causing severe swelling of my uterus. During the surgical removal of the polyp, the doctor also performed a laparoscopy to look for endometriosis and found it on almost every organ in my pelvic cavity. I was then diagnosed with severe endometriosis- far too advanced to be treated with a hormonal IUD. Too advanced to be treated with hormonal birth control pills even. So 6 weeks after finding a new doctor, I found out I have 2 of the top 5 causes of infertility in America. I'm still so upset and angry that Generations ignored my concerns for years- I could have started treating this years ago if only the doctor would have listened to my concerns. Leaving Generations OBGYN for another practice quite literally saved my chances of having a family one day. I wish I would have listened to my gut and left sooner. I would give it 0 stars if I could. *UPDATE: I now go to Michigan Women's Health in Farmington Hills. I've seen 3 doctors there and they are all incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. Because of their care, we are very hopeful that I will be able to conceive on my own!! I'm extremely relieved that I left generations. read more

I had a great experience here as a first-time patient for an annual. They were able to get me in quickly and saw me on time. Kelly, Cheryl and the entire staff were professional, friendly was kind. I felt respected, cared for and the quality of care was excellent. read more

Terrible customer service- I recently moved back to the area and was needing a new gynecologist to have my IUD examined (I'm worried it may have shifted and just need someone to check it out). The receptionist was cold and would not schedule me an appointment or even point me in the direction of where I could go to get it looked at. I understand we are in unprecedented times but I wasn't even treated like a person. read more

I had my first child with this practice and met all their doctors. The doctors and staff here are very nice, professional and well-trained. However, it is clear that this practice is primarily focused on generating business. If your main concern is finding a large practice that's easy to schedule appointments with, this might be a good place for you. If you want a doctor that will know your name and treat you more like a human being than a dot on a bell curve, you should probably look for a different Obstetrician. So, before you go here, ask yourself: do you like being treated like a pwr read more
