    I previously had positive impressions of this doctor, Devoni Bruns, but my most recent visit left…read moreme with several concerns. The instruments used during the exam appeared outdated and not properly sealed or single‑use, which made me uncomfortable. Despite worsening symptoms, I was told my test results were normal, and my questions about appropriate treatment were not addressed. After the appointment, reaching the office was difficult--I had to call multiple times before receiving a response. I was eventually asked to return for another swab only after I pushed for further evaluation. I ultimately sought care from another physician, who provided the necessary medication. I paid my bill promptly, but due to the lack of thoroughness, communication challenges, and overall experience during this visit, I do not plan to return.

Unfortunately, I recently received a "surprise" bill for the annual visit I had in December 2019. I called the office to find out what the charges were for because I know my insurance did not change and all the preventive exams should be covered. It turns out because during the annual visit, Dr. Verma and I discussed a health concert that I had. Because of that, they charged me for a physical visit and a separate office visit for the same time. No making sense at all. Do you mean patient should not talk to the doctor even if they have any health concerns?? My past experience with my primary family doctor was nothing like this. My primary family doctor addressed my questions and concerns during annual checkup. I like Dr. Novas , Dr. Oh and Dr. Chamberlain even helped me delivered both my kids but I am VERY disappointed on this office now, it is not the office I used to know, they are trying to rip off every penny they can have. Will let all my friend know and do NOT go to this office.

Thank you for all you've done for me Angelika. Also I have seen Dr. Nisha Patel a couple times as well and she is also extremely caring and understanding as well. They both genuinely care about their patients. If your a women and need great doctors, stop now and call this practice. You won't regret it.

I never actually saw the doctor of the office. The front desk and reception staff getting the phones - Oh my goodness! It's really bad. They are dazed, lost and confused. From the moment I first went to the office and they charged me the incorrect copay to weird things with scheduling to going back & forth with clients a million times while others are waiting to just generally being unfriendly - not a good first impression. Short side is - Go somewhere else. Despite having some great nurses, front staff is unprofessional and a hot mess and is not able to handle sensitive situations.

I called the office and they informed me that since they moved locations, they no longer had access to my medical records so they could only do something once those were sent. I emailed them a copy of my records from MyChart that day. I had to call the office 6 TIMES to ask for updates and every time, the woman said she would pass along my information. After 2 weeks of nothing getting done, I decided to go to the new office location where I had to explain AGAIN what was needed to have the office manager claim "this was the first he was hearing this". I asked if the doctor could submit the preauthorization that day (since I am running out of medication) and he said, "well the doctor is very busy". The preauthorization STILL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. Good thing it's birth control and not any life-saving medicine. Do yourself a favor and find a different doctor.

    I LOVE Dr. Scanlon, however this office is definitely not my favorite. I had an appointment at the…read moreend of February and it was almost impossible to get ahold of a nurse to give me the results. They are closed from 12:30-1:30 for lunch and at 4:30 for the day. Even if you call around those hours, you can expect to leave a voicemail. And speaking of voicemails, if you call after 4:30, they don't even give an option to leave a voicemail. You have to call again the next day. It was end of April before I finally got someone on the phone to give me an update that they wanted me to come in for more tests. Thankfully, it wasn't anything life or death because I wouldn't have heard about it for 2 months... The other problem I had is that the ultrasound technician took my weight yesterday before I went into the room for my blood pressure and everything. Great, fine, whatever. But I get into the room and am met by a nurse who needs to weigh me. I said, "I just did that, do I need to do it again?" and she asked, "Oh.. do you remember what it was?" On top of that, 3 people asked if I skip periods: the ultrasound technician, the nurse and the doctor. I answered the same way each time. Seriously, they all carry laptops and are typing while you answer questions and between the two instances, I was left wondering "does NO ONE write anything down????" Just seems very disorganized and I feel like there should be a better system when it comes to passing along information, both from nurse to nurse/doctor and from nurse/doctor to patient. Work on it please because I love Dr. Scanlon (she's literally the only thing keeping me going to MCWH) and I really don't want to go elsewhere because I'm frustrated with the rest of the staff.

    Doctors are fine, nurse practitioner is very nice. office is horrible. Receptionists are always…read morechatting loudly about private topics, such as "if you were pregnant are there any doctors here you would see?" "No!". Okay great, I'm sitting here in the waiting room and the receptionists who work here are talking about how they wouldn't go here! Nurse also has some confidentiality issues, yelled out into the waiting room from behind front desk another time to discuss my diagnosis with me in front of many other patients and receptionists! As it was a very sensitive issue I had to request that we go back in a room to discuss! Why am I the patient having to ask this?! They also couldn't maintain my actual address in their computer system. Every single time I came in they had the wrong contact information, I would correct it, and it would revert back to an address I hadn't lived at for years, turns out that's where my confidential test results and bills were sent too. Fantastic. So if in 2019 you appreciate confidentiality and privacy, find a different practice.

She was sensitive to my desire for a more holistic approach, versus simply taking a drug, so she recommended a variety of supplements instead.

Doctor signed off on it on 6-30. It was clearly marked ABNORMAL. No one called me. I recvd a call from Central Scheduling 7-1 to schedule a mammogram. my words were,"No thank you maam. I had mine last week." She said it's because of last weeks scan that you need another one because it came back abnormal. So yeah that's how I found out. I called the office talked to a nurse. she was unaware of my records. I left a msg for dr Nettelton. no call back. I went to the office to get a physical copy of report. left another message for Dr to call me. the next morning left a detailed message for Megan office manager. NADA. I left this practice today and now I'm with a PROFESSIONAL and CARING Practice. High Risk Breast Clinic out of Northwest Comm. They got me in 3 days and after a holiday weekend. Terrible practice. I still have had no conversation with a Dr. out of Womancare. I'm high risk as well. They know that. They don't care.

She is remarkably patient and takes the time to listen and answer every question, never making you feel rushed. Her expertise in handling everything from routine births to complex deliveries--like VBACs or emergency situations--is evident in the way she stays dedicated to her patients, even coming in on her days off to ensure a safe delivery. Beyond her medical skills, she is compassionate and relatable, treating you like a friend rather than just another patient. Knowing she is a mother herself makes her even more understanding of the journey into parenthood.
