Two years ago I went to Dr. Austin (life has been crazy hence the late review). His staff was…read moregreat and I thought he was too until I spoke with another doc up in the Portland area and found out that we had wasted about 6 months (and 5K) doing IUI. Additionally, I could have stayed with my own gyn practice to do the IUI and not travel down to Eugene every month which was a pain since I live in Corvallis. AND it likely would have been much cheaper. When the IUI wasn't working we had a discussion about what the next step was and he painted a picture about using meds from out of the country to save costs and my risks of having hyperovarian syndrome etc, etc. We overall wasted about a year of precious time (three months to get in to see him then another 6 months of 'treatment') When I went to the other doc up in Portland there was no scary out of the country meds and little risk of hyperovarian syndrome because of my age. I felt poorly treated by Dr. Austin and would not recommend him to anyone. The doc that cannot be beat is Dr. Eugene Stoelk at Northwest Fertility Center.

I did IVF through Dr. Austin's Clinic 5 years after working with a larger clinic in Oregon and I…read morehave only the best things to say about him! So did the three other friends I referred to him. Professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I've heard great things about him from an international gay couple, their surrogate, and egg donor!

I've been a patient of Dr. Tufariello since I moved to Oregon four years ago. She has always been…read morevery nice and professional, as have the rest of the staff here. The nurses are always very friendly and the front desk staff are quick and nice. I've never had issues reaching them over the phone. I've had an ultrasound, a uterine biopsy, and most recently a bisalp and ablation under Dr. Tufariello. The biopsy was done without painkillers and was horrible but that's the state of women's healthcare in this country and my doctor had no control over it - it was the insurance company's fault. My surgery last week went great and Dr. Tufariello was very kind and thorough when answering my long list of questions. She kept me at ease and helped me feel better when I was nervous. She did not try to push me or talk me out of the procedure even though it was elective. She simply asked once to make sure I knew I couldn't have kids after and when I said I knew and was sure I didn't want any kids she moved on and helped me. In this day and age I have to appreciate that. I'm not sure why Women's Care has so many bad reviews because I have only ever had positive experiences here. The staff all care deeply about their jobs and everyone is very gentle and understanding. Even the lab techs are gentle and friendly. I will continue to be a patient here and recommend them to my friends whenever I can.

I definitely want to warn other women about going here. I saw Angela Lovelace to address heavy…read morebleeding and birth control methods. She recommended an IUD and I agreed. She did not do any pre-testing, ultrasound, or imaging to check out my suspected fibroids. After insertion the IUD ended up scraping against uterus and causing extreme pain. I had to demand it be taken out immediately and asked for an ultrasound. She had so much trouble understanding the imaging (the IUD was creating a shadow that seemed suspicious) and actually asked me if I had forgotten about a previous IUD inside my body. What?! No, I have never had an IUD and I would not forget about something like that. Horrible care, dismissive of pain, and unfortunately there are not many options in Eugene for ob-gyn care. I now go to Grassroots Gynocology and the fibroid clinic at OHSU. Don't go here if you can help it!
