I was referred by my primary care doctor for Menopause. I saw a doctor that admitted she was not a certified menopause practitioner and spent the better half of the time being condescending and providing erroneous findings of the 2002 WHI findings. Dr Christina Robinson may be more knowledgeable in premenopause and baby deliveries. read more

After waiting for 45 min and not being seen by Ashley Munn, I had to reschedule my appointment. I was told "she takes longer with her appointments". If this is the case, schedule appointments further apart. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. It shows a lack of respect for each of your patients time. Not only have I been inconvenienced for this appointment but I will be impacted by my future appointment. read more

Today was my second appt with Dr Robinson. The first appt is always the establishment of a new Dr patient relationship. Of course its always gonna be the best, its the aftercare and consistency that means the most. I can't go into details here, but I will be seeking GYN care elsewhere as of today. Condescending, lack there of empathy uneducated concerning hormonal care, raising your tone at me. Her nurse was in the room and heard it all. She walks in room, "we are doing X today right"? I tell her I'm in some pain, she totally disregards it and then proceeds. In other wards your pain isnt what we are doing today...that's exactly what she meant. I had a breast exam done before my appt elsewhere, she was told that during appt. I get a message the next day with a appt for a breast exam, she clearly doesn't listen to her patient, and her nurse in the room didnt listen either. This patient & Dr relationship is now over. I sent the clinic a note, concerns about the whole situation. Healthcare in the USA, nothing else needs to be explained.... It's important to seek care for your situation at the time. No more Drs for me that see patients for OB & GYN. I need a Dr for women's health only, not maternity. Life lesson on my part. I havent heard from her office at all, not surprised at all. read more

I was very disappointed with my care at this facility. I'm 44 and had been experiencing many issues that could have been problematic or perhaps were hormonal changes. It takes a lot for me to decide to go to a doctor, because I've rarely had success with any answers in the past. I decided to go see Dr Johnson, and I had taken the time to prepare a list of my symptoms. She and her assistant came in and barely said hello before she began the breast and vaginal exam. It became very clear that she was not going to ask me any questions, so I started rambling off my symptoms mid-Pap Smear. I asked if it could be perimenopause. She said she was not trained in hormones so she couldn't discuss that. She ordered an ultrasound and an iron lab test and left quickly. It seemed very strange that a "women's care" facility cannot help with a large part of what makes a woman---hormones! I took the iron lab test and the results were in normal range. The ultrasound that was ordered was basically normal. Well, a few months ago, after months of fatigue, dizziness, heavy periods, brain fog, I saw something online that suggested I get my ferritin tested. My ferritin level was practically non-existent-definitely out of normal range. I'm not sure why Dr Johnson didn't have that tested as well. Now, I'm trying to self-treat it because I wouldn't trust coming back to this facility. That is just the medical care. The office is also disappointing. I called prior to coming in to confirm my insurance would be accepted and was told it was. When I got there, I was told it wasn't. So, I was going to leave, and then the receptionist went and talked to others and came back and said it was accepted. I paid what I needed to. This was August and September 2025. I just now, almost July of 2026 got a bill for $180! And it says on it that my insurance is not accepted. This has just been such a waste of time and money. read more

I usually see Melissa but she was not available. Absolutely love her! I needed to be seen ASAP because of my pain level, so they scheduled me with Dr. Koehler. I wasn't even in that appointment 5 minutes. I voiced my concerns and PAIN. Told me he couldn't provide me antibiotics because he doesn't want me to become co-dependent on them. Told me I needed an ultrasound just for them to tell me I need to schedule an appointment with my OBGYN and get antibiotics! I'm still in pain and still dealing with this issue, all he did was waste my time and make me run up a $700+ bill. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! read more

First time using this doctor's office the doctor was very dismissive and didn't want to listen to anything I was trying to tell her came back for a follow-up the same doctor was very dismissive again didn't want to answer my question and walked out read more

I go to the Taylor st location and could not be happier. Melissa Luckett is the sweetest person on the entire planet and has always made me comfortable and took the time to make sure I was good. I highly recommend her. She is compassionate, caring, she takes her time, and she overall just makes you feel better about what's going on, good or bad. I won't see anyone else while I live here. read more

When we found out we were pregnant after almost a year of trying, we did our research and saw that Kraemer had qualified OBGYN's to take care of our pregnancy. The first appointment was with a PA because the Doctor had an emergency delivery. We did an early ultrasound and took some blood work. A week later, I started to spot. I called the nurses line and she said that it was probably just from sex and that if the bleeding or pain got worse to call back and we would schedule an appointment. The bleeding started to become redder as the day went on, so we went in for a last-minute appointment with Dr. Johnson. This was a very emotional and confusing day for my husband and I and we were met with an unkind and insensitive experience that will forever shape my miscarriage story. When we spoke with Dr. Johnson and asked questions about the bleeding, she said that we were asking too many questions she didn't have the answers to, that 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriages, and to go home and rest and wait. She could visibly see that I was devastated, and I was not met with any sympathy, honesty, or humanity. I understand that there is medical jargon and a professionalism to the practice, that is not what I experienced. I felt like just another daily routine patient, who wasn't experiencing one of the worst days of their life. She did not even recognize that it was a baby in my womb, she kept calling it a fetal pole and not a baby. We were not forewarned about what we would experience within the next few hours. Hours that would forever traumatize my life as I bled my 6 week old BABY out, and yes, it was a baby that I saw just like on the ultrasound. We wonder why so many women don't trust their doctors, we wonder why so many women have abortions, we wonder why there is so much disregard for the human person. It starts with our healthcare experiences. I am a person worthy of dignity and so is my baby in the womb. What a disgrace of a practice. read more

TOLAC/VBAC Related, Detailed Review Jill Johnson was who I was seeing primarily. Front Office ladies are amazing and sweet! Backstory: I previously had an C-Section (small pelvis, big baby) with another provider who encouraged my to try vaginally. I loved & followed him to this practice but he, unfortunately, retired before I could see him. We were supposed to try for a vaginal birth the first time but I ignorantly ended up opting for an elective cesarean due to scheduling conflict without doing much research. He encouraged me to try vaginally first but supported my decision and told me that I could try for a tolac in the future. Fast forward to second pregnancy: Jill Johnson was my primary provider. From the very first appointment, I was very transparent about wanting a TOLAC. I should have been presented with their policy from the first day I joined the practice, my fault for not asking though! (Must be spontaneous labor before 40 weeks, or automatic RCS). Not at a second or even third appointment, as a TOLAC client, this is crucial time that's being wasted. I don't live very close and was less than pleased with the care I was being provided by Jill Johnson (Reason being, she would not either take or review notes, so I always had to correct and remind her of either my history, or any questions I had followed up with so I felt that competence was at question) So I took a break and started searching for a new provider. Any way, I didn't have much promising luck so I continued to show up after a long break until my 36 wk appointment, when I left the office in tears. This woman, Jill Johnson, sat 3 ft in front of me, and explained that she "cannot change the anatomy" of my body. I asked if there's anything I can do to help, and she said "No, you again, cannot change your body". She continued to say that some providers in their practice "don't want to do TOLACs at all" and the only reason they offer it, is because "some providers who disagree, are TOLAC friendly" With this baby tracking on the heavy side, she explained that rupture is not only hard on the mother but it's "traumatizing for the care providers too". Saying all of these things without ever examining me herself, and failing to remember or note that I never even tried labor last time. I called back to confirm that there was nothing I could do to heighten my chances of a successful VBAC and was told the same thing. See screenshot of their note from MyChart. Policy is policy- I 100% respect that. But this was way too far. It would have been more kind of her to introduce the policy, and leave the less inspiring comments and statements out. I left feeling absolutely shattered and broken, just believing that there was no way I could do it. Long story short: I switched providers at 36 weeks and SUCCESSFULLY birthed an 8lb 13oz baby after C-section. With NO complications, and in less than an hour of pushing. read more

Kraemer Women's Care - Medical Centers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I have been a patient of Dr. Ravenell(both) for over 9 years. The times my doctor wasn't available, I was treated with respect by Jill and Dr. Kraemer himself! I have visited all KWC locations. No, I have not gone back right at my exact appointment time, but I understand the nature of the situation and I am willing to wait for the type of service I know I want and deserve. I pray this encourages women to experience the practice/provider for yourselves! My life is forever changed and I am grateful to be a part of the family! read more

I truly love this place. I have been seen by them since I got here at both their locations. The staff is always friendly at the front desks (check-in/check out) and Dr. Kraemer is very thorough, as well. He is always friendly and inviting and tries his best to make whatever you are being seen for as less awkward as possible. His staff has also always been friendly and welcoming from his assistants to techs, and anyone else there. read more

First time getting a Papsmear ,DR Ravenell Orson was AMAZING. I was nervous the whole time but he made me comfortable and it was easy to talk to him. If anybody needs an OBGYN Dr ORSON IS THE MAN. NOTHING hurted, the blood draw I didn't even feel, the Papsmear didn't hurt at all. 10/10 read more

Kraemer Women's Center has great doctors, great staff, and are attentive and caring to their patients. I have recently moved here from Colorado and was very afraid about finding good doctors. I found superior care at Kraemer Womens Center! read more

the staff at Kraemer Women's Care is amazing! everyone is so kind and sweet and caring. Always accommodating. highly recommend!

A nurse at the WeCo location didn't have answers to some questions about labor, and without explanation we were called into the doctor's office. I explained I'm very active and have concerns about a caesarian specifically with respect to one being deemed "medically necessary" and asked the doctor at what point, if I experienced extended labor, would he would begin to insist. Instead of taking my concerns about an invasive procedure that impacts my core seriously, or discussing process or asking any questions of me, he immediately took a patronizing approach and said "you don't have to become a doctor to have a baby" and that we needed to have a relationship based on trust. My husband and I made the choice to switch clinics mid pregnancy at some expense, but that was for the best. The West Columbia staff appear to be the norm given the other reviews... The staff further out of town had been reassuring and several had high risk experience. They don't seem to support informed consent, for instance: drug test with urine test wasn't disclosed until we received a bill. (The other clinic did not pad our panels that way.) That's really not acceptable. Having a baby in a state where maternal and infant mortality were until only recently at third world levels was worrisome and there's too much pressure to be handled like a piece of meat for other's sake. ALSO insurance does not require you to give doctors' clinics your SSN, and you should push back. Medical records are frequently not well monitored and hackers have found them easy targets for id theft, for more than 20 years. The clinics rely on that info exclusively for debt collection, but why put your personal info at risk because of others' actions? It's not easy to "fix" ID theft, it's expensive and never finished. KWC asks for this before you book your appointment, and insurance only requires your DL or other photo ID. read more

Where to start? From the beginning the experience was so poor and unprofessional that is unbelievable how this practice is still in business. My first visit was a disaster the ultrasound technician performed the wrong imaging technique thinking I was 7 weeks pregnant when I was 17 weeks, so she didn't even read my chart.. How professional ah?? I believe I don't have to mention how rude everyone is; specially the office manager which I think is the head of the poison snake practice. She made a mistake that involved my payment didn't even admites it, nor apology was given; her condescending attitude was nausea inducing. Same lack of customer service and rude behavior prevailed when my husband contacted her to have the refund. Finally, After The doctor decided he won't see me any more even though he send me a appointment schedule, for the rest of my pregnancy out of the blue over the phone hiding behind a messenger. And everything because I asked for test results and a letter with my diagnosis to get help with the treatment for the next 9 weeks of my pregnancy. All of my information my personal files were always wrong starting from my phone number and my address, despite of multiple requests to have them updated. Organization is completely absent in this clinic. I don't even want to go over other unsettling experiences that really made my time with this practice a complete terror. Would not recommend to anyone, furthermore, every person in my office, neighborhood and church I talked about my terrible experiences, they reply relating with their own dissatisfaction. Is incredible how everyone I speak to has something negative to say about them. Shame on them! read more

Are you looking to be belittled and completely dismissed? Jill Johnson is your girl! No surprise, as her name is littered all over this page, painting a very accurate picture of what a typical interaction with this woman must be like. Wouldn't even let me finish going through my list of symptoms before dismissing me and questioning my prior diagnosis, despite telling her it was all over my bloodwork. The attitude towards my concerns was extremely condescending, and I was told to schedule another appointment if I wanted to continue going through my list of symptoms. Jill, respectfully, I can't think of a single reason on God's green earth that would entice me to come see you again. The rest of the staff was nice, but Jill's attitude is enough to send anyone away, and coupled with the rest of the negative reviews, your best to find someone who will actually have the slightest bit of compassion for you as a human being. Hope this helps! read more

I had a great experience here, the facility is nice, clean and the staff is nice as well. Melissa Luckett was very nice and sweet! She was very understanding, patient, and knowledgeable.

After trying to schedule an annual appointment with an office recommended to me, only to find they were booked out 6 months in advance after being on hold for over 45 minutes, I found Kraemer Women's Care. I was able to speak with a real person in no time and they scheduled me in easily to the Taylor street location. Very convenient to Main Street, the office was easy to find. I only had to wait about 10 minutes in the waiting room- if that. Every staff member I met was extremely friendly and comforting. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

They are the worse. Don't go there they don't care nothing about you or your baby. The front office staff will be sitting around talking when you get there, only to have you sitting for an hour before you get called back, then they realize they forgot to sign you in. Then they have staff that don't show up to work so you'll be sitting there for a hour only to get called up to say they have to reschedule you. This place is unorganized and terrible. read more

Long story but worth the read. I made an appt here for a prenatal visit. I got there and the front desk girls were super nice and so was the MA, so anything I say in this review is not directed at them. This review is for the ultrasound tech and for Dr. Johnson. I explained several times to the US tech that I was terrified because I've had a previous miscarriage and she barely acknowledged that. When she found the heartbeat I got excited and every time I got excited about the heartbeat she'd cut me down saying "yeah there's not much we can see today." After that we waited 30 mins to see Dr. Johnson who came in and told me that there was a "cystic area" on the US but that she had no idea what it was and that I would just have to come back in 2 weeks to check again. Of course I had follow up questions and she just kept saying "there's nothing we can do, there's nothing I can tell you." She wasn't considerate at all for the natural fear I had since she knew I've had a previous loss. She rushed through everything and just wasn't attentive or reassuring at all. Fast forward a couple of days later. I decided to make an appt at Prisma instead and saw Dr. James Johnson and had another ultrasound and turns out, baby is FINE and the "cystic area" that Dr. Johnson at Kramer Women's Care couldn't tell me anything about was just a small subchorionic hemorrhage that will resolve itself. Dr. Johnson was just gonna let me go home and be worried sick for the next 2 weeks for NOTHING. If they couldn't tell me what the cystic area was then they shouldn't have mentioned it at all and caused unnecessary stress. The whole appt was just cold and I didn't feel like either of them cared. I will not be back. I highly recommend Columbia Women's Care! Their staff was absolutely amazing and warm and attentive and Dr. James Johnson was an angel! read more

it took everything in me not to write this post but I'm because I didn't like how I was treated . these ppl didn't care no kinda care and made me feel very uncomfortable.. my doctor was Jill Johnson she was very rude and didnt help me at all . the ppl at the front desk was rude . I scheduled my apt for one thing and they did the totally opposite of what I came for and I'm explaining to them that this is not what I come for when I schedule my apt me and the front desk lady had a understanding of what I needed done . I hate that I experience this first visit like this . i payout my pocket of what my insurance didn't cover its like they just took my money and insurance card and kick me out they door I cry and was depress all day . read more

Avoid this place like the plague! Long story but please read. I found out I was pregnant and went to the West Columbia office. I have a weak cervix and was told Dr. Ravenell is the best with that issue. So I would need to go to the Columbia office. Ok appoint next week to see him. I started bleeding a few days later. Nurse on the phone could care less and said not to worry about it. BY THE WAY their phone service is people who can NOT speak English and it takes Forever for a nurse to return your call! I go to see Dr. Ravenell 2 days later, heavy bleeding and cramping. I know I am miscarrying. He tells me not to worry a lot of women bleed but he wants to run some blood tests. Oh and I also have a bacteria infection but that won't be treated until my 2nd trimester. Seriously I'm (tmi) pouring blood and you tell me not to worry. 2 more days later and I'm back to confirm a miscarriage. I walk in and check in the woman wants me to pay $3500 for my pregnancy. I have to tell her 2 times I am here to confirm a miscarriage. I finally get taken back and have to have an ultrasound. I tell the woman how heavy I am bleeding and she just brushes me off. 30 minutes of a painful ultrasound, she cuts the lights on and sees a literal pool of blood on the ground. Her response I didn't think you were bleeding that much. Come on I told you multiple times I was! She gives me 2 wet wipes to try and clean myself up. And hey guess what I did have a miscarriage. Doctor is going to call me in some pain meds, and the meds for the infection. Neither are called in. I called twice a week for a month to get the antibiotic for the infection. Each time I have to tell the nurse I had a miscarriage. You know how hard that is to have to repeat constantly. Finally I make an appointment with the West Columbia office because I feel like death. The infection has spread to my bladder, I have blood in my urine now. I finally get an antibiotic called in with a half sorry. Now lets top all of this off. Today I get a letter in the mail that my personal information has been stolen. Um excuse me? The doctor has my information in a notebook that was stolen out of his car. WHY WAS MY INFORMATION IN A NOTEBOOK IN HIS CAR???? This practice also charges specialist prices for pap smears and swabs. I will be reporting to my insurance company. Please stay away from this place. I know how hard it is to find a good doctor, but this practice doesn't have any. RUN. read more

I thought this was a nice place to go to because they were quick and nice but after going to them three times, they started to get really nasty. For one, they never know what they are supposed to charge you for your visits. I am always attempting to pay and then the ladies tell me oh there is no copay but I receive a bill. The bill is never current and it seems like the measly $20 copay is about to go to collections all because they didn't tell me up front. Second, no doctor there is consistent in anything they do. One will say this is approved and the other will say this isn't approved. Then when asked why I am going to different doctors, they make it seem like I am the one who is scheduling the appointments. Three, not that there is anything wrong with a nurse practitioner, but they have a million nurse practitioners who do not have the qualifications to give information about illnesses yet they are the ones who are giving all of the information. Four, they charge $15 to have paperwork filled out behind their diagnosis. That is weird to me especially since they deny everything asked to be filled out. And they don't refund the money or ask for the money once the paperwork is filled out. It makes no sense. I have never had so many issues with a doctors office and I've been going to the doctor all my life. I do not recommend this company. Maybe just the office on sunset but until I know that the other offices are not this way, I don't recommend any of Kramer Women's Care because they care more about themselves then the people who come into the office. read more
