I had the best experience with Dr.Dekay and Nurse practitioner Ann. I have vaginismis caused by…read moresexual trauma and so it was really difficult for me to do any exams. Dr. Dekay was extremely patient and kind, he never pushed for an examination unless completely necessary. Ann and Dr. Dekay were extremely supportive and encouraging during my entire pregnancy, answering all my questions and easing my mind in all the stress of being an upcoming first time mom. Dr. Dekay also made my delivery so easy and comfortable. It all happened so quickly and I honestly think without his guidance I would not have had the wonderful experience I did. Would recommend him and Ann to everyone.

My experience with this OB office was extremely disappointing and, at times, genuinely upsetting…read more Throughout my pregnancy, I dealt with severe symptoms including vomiting to the point my throat was bleeding, GERD and heartburn so bad I lost my voice, and one-sided leg swelling, which is a known red flag. These were not minor discomforts and directly impacted my ability to safely perform my job in the medical field. Despite this, my concerns were repeatedly dismissed as "normal pregnancy symptoms," without meaningful evaluation. At one point, the clinic supervisor called me while I could barely speak due to losing my voice. I explained clearly that it was from severe reflux and heartburn. She said she would get me in to see Dr. St. Pierre, but when I was seen, that concern was not meaningfully addressed. I was told earlier in my pregnancy that if my symptoms became unmanageable, I could speak with Dr. St. Pierre about being taken off work. When I did, she initially refused to complete disability paperwork and dismissed my situation. She also referenced Nevada being a "right to work" state, which is unrelated to medical leave. My mother-in-law, who has decades of HR experience, was present and confirmed that statement was inaccurate. After significant pushback, the paperwork was eventually accepted, but the process was unnecessarily difficult. I was even directed to labor and delivery triage to initiate paperwork when my OB was unavailable, only to receive more resistance there. There was no continuity or clear process. Dr. St. Pierre also took multiple trips during my pregnancy. When I reached out with complications, I was told they could not assist because my OB was out of town. There did not appear to be adequate coverage. At my final appointment, instead of a discussion about my condition, the first thing Dr. St. Pierre said was, "Why don't you just get induced since you're so uncomfortable?" I was not yet 39 weeks, and there was no explanation of risks or reasoning. It felt dismissive. In contrast, when I saw Nurse Practitioner Katie Bischoff, she clearly explained my stress test results and provided thoughtful guidance about induction. The difference in communication and care was significant. Continuity of care in this office is poor. I rarely saw the same provider. During one visit, Nurse Practitioner Ann Murtada greeted me with "Who do you belong to?" which set the tone for how impersonal the office feels. Additionally, during two stress tests with Dr. St. Pierre, nothing was explained. I was left without clarity during an already stressful time. To be fair, Nurse Practitioner Katie Bischoff, Nurse Practitioner McKenzie Rosette, and Dr. Mellum provided good care. However, my experiences with Nurse Practitioner Ann Murtada and Dr. St. Pierre were the opposite. On the administrative side, the office felt transactional. I paid around $1,500 and remained current, yet was consistently pressured for payment before being checked in. Requests for minimal flexibility were treated as a problem. I also raised concerns with the clinic supervisor and received no meaningful support. Overall, this office felt cold, disorganized, and lacking in communication and compassion. I regret choosing this provider for my pregnancy. If you are looking for supportive prenatal care, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I really wanted to like this office because I had heard so many great reviews, but unfortunately my…read moreexperience has been nothing but frustrating from the very beginning. I live in Sacramento, CA, so I already knew I'd be paying out of pocket. My first appointment was charged to my card the day before, which was completely fine. However, I kept receiving bills saying I still owed money. When I called, I was told not to worry because those charges would "fall off" my account since I was a self-pay patient. Well, they never did, and I continued receiving bills showing an outstanding balance. At my first appointment, the doctor was running late and told me I needed to repeat my bloodwork, even though I had just had it done about two months earlier. That was frustrating, but I agreed. She told me the lab orders would be sent to Labcorp. Because the bloodwork had to be done while I was on my period, I had to wait an entire month before I could schedule the appointment. When I finally arrived at Labcorp during the required time, they told me they had never received the lab orders from the office. I immediately called the office, and Mackenzie at the front desk answered. She was rude, dismissive, and acted like helping me was an inconvenience. Instead of trying to solve the problem, she simply said she couldn't send the orders herself and would have to ask the medical assistant. While I was waiting, Labcorp called the office directly. I then overheard Mackenzie tell them that she had instructed me to "come another day" because she didn't know if the orders could be sent that day. That was completely false. She never told me to come back another day. Had she actually communicated that to me, I would have explained that I couldn't simply come back because my doctor specifically instructed me that the bloodwork had to be done while I was on my period. Her lack of communication, poor attitude, and terrible customer service turned an already frustrating situation into an unnecessarily stressful one. Front desk staff are often the first impression of a medical practice, and unfortunately Mackenzie's attitude reflected very poorly on the office. Between the ongoing billing issues, disorganization, poor communication, and the unprofessional customer service I received, this has been one of the most disappointing experiences I've had with a medical office. I really wanted this practice to work out because of all the positive reviews, but my experience has been the complete opposite. Because of everything that's happened, I will not be returning to this office and will be looking for a new provider. I cannot recommend this practice based on my experience.

Now we bring notes on our Iphones to ensure we get all of them in. (Funny considering the commercial most of us have seen where patients and doctors sing how you should ask your docs questions because they don't know how to read your mind). Anywho, Dr. Thompson was very nice, patient, and professional. She answered our questions thoroughly in a way that made you feel you were talking to a good friend about serious questions. She seemed a little rushed, but never put that on us. Being a manager in retail, it is always hard to provide good customer service and the things you have to get done in a day. We are in the process of trying to have a child, and if we do in the next couple months we will be coming back to her. Unfortunately, we are moving in 5 months.

I like that he takes times to completely explain everything and I've never ever felt rushed. With that said: they are alwayssssss running behind. Im not sure if it's problems with front desk or the fact that he really takes his time with each individual patient. I'm assuming it's not the latter as Sierra Woman's Health has more than one practicing OBGYN, so, I'm guessing its desk. Whenever you call, you're put on hold for a minimum of 5mins always. I really like Dr. Farringer, and when I have my second child / second c-section in April I will definitely update my review. But, until then I leave with saying I definitely do recommend him, HOWEVER, never plan important errands back to back, as you will always be seen and leave later than you expect.

Out of all five of my pregnancies, this has been the worst OB practice I've experienced. While the…read morephysicians themselves are wonderful, nearly every other aspect of this office has been incredibly disappointing. The biggest issue is the office culture. On multiple occasions, I overheard front desk staff gossiping about patients, discussing private phone calls, speaking negatively about patients in front of other patients, and even laughing about questions expectant mothers had called in to ask. Hearing that as a patient made me feel uncomfortable and concerned about the professionalism and confidentiality within the office. My experiences with one of the medical assistants, Amanda, were particularly frustrating. I found her to be dismissive and unprofessional. During appointments, I was never informed of my urine dip results, blood pressure, weight, or pregnancy weight gain even when I specifically asked. Given my history of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, these are important numbers for me to know. When I asked Amanda if she could provide them during my visits, she simply told me, "No, I never provide these to patients." When I asked why, her response was, "I just don't." I later shared with another medical assistant--who was filling in--that I had been unhappy with my care and wished someone would review my vital signs with me during appointments. At my next visit, Amanda confronted me, laughing as she said, "I heard you told everyone here I'm mean to you because I don't tell you your blood pressure." I never said that. It left me feeling like my concerns had been discussed among staff rather than addressed professionally. I left that appointment so upset that I called my husband in tears. The practice also lacks many basic conveniences. There is no patient portal to review test results, appointment summaries, or track your pregnancy. Patients are expected to collect a urine sample at home on the morning of their appointment and transport it to the office. Because I work all day before my afternoon appointments, my sample would sit in my hot car for hours. When I mentioned this to Labor & Delivery staff, they expressed concern that this could affect the reliability of the specimen. Additionally, patients are required to prepay for their hospital delivery before the birth, which I found unusual and stressful. The physicians at this practice are knowledgeable and caring, and they are the only reason I gave this office any consideration at all. Unfortunately, the professionalism of the front desk staff, medical assistants, billing department, and overall office management significantly detracted from my experience. I sincerely hope the practice takes these concerns seriously because the physicians deserve a support staff that reflects the same level of professionalism and patient care.
