Hands down, the best all-around medical practice I have ever found (and I have been to quite a…read morefew...) I had an undiagnosed, rather personal, and extremely unpleasant medical condition for more than five years. I went to at least six doctors -- gynecologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, not to mention GPs -- in two states and was told, again and again, that I was a nutjob with clearly repressed memories of horrific childhood abuse. It took Dr. Barbara O'Connell ten minutes to say, "Honey, you're fine. Thirty minutes in the OR and you'll be good to go." I cannot speak highly enough of this woman, and since said operation (two years ago this March), I have recommended her in gushing terms to all of my gyno-needing friends. Seriously. (However, it can take a while to get a new-patient appointment, which sucks, but I think is often the case with competent gynecologists.)

I recommend it to all of my female friends and I will never go anywhere else so long as I live in Madison.

I'm almost out of my first trimester (first pregnancy), and so far Miller, who I see at the UW…read moreHealth West Towne Clinic (I started with Unity and now have Physicians Plus), seems like a decent OB. I found her before I got pregnant, searching for an OB who could supervise my high risk pregnancy without making unreasonable demands for unnecessary interventions. Miller was the third whom I interviewed, and the first to say that if I didn't want to be induced, we could work out an alternative--the first two insisted that induction was necessary for ANY pregnant person taking anticoagulants, even after acknowledging that the only real issue was with epidurals, which I clearly indicated I was happy to forego. Miller is probably more amenable to avoiding interventions because of her age; I would guess she's over 70, and is already only part-time with UW Health. This means that her availability is not great, but I was won over by her frankness when she told me she didn't know for sure what we'd need to to do to avoid induction, but gave me her best guess (which I know from research is exactly what they do in Australia for pregnancies with the same clotting factor issues), and told me she'd look into it. I highly value a doctor who is willing to admit when they don't know something and look it up; this is a characteristic she shares with my GP (Mark Beamsley), who recommended her in the first place. In fact, I value this quality in Miller so much that I endure a two-hour round-trip bus ride for almost every appointment--West Towne is the clinic that is the furthest it is possible to get from my apartment and remain in the Madison city limits. I will say that my standards are a bit lax here, because it is SO difficult to find someone who is reasonable about my anticoagulants. Miller is not very good, in my opinion, at communicating with patients on an equitable level--that is, I have a masters degree in the social sciences, and I have tried to explain to her that I want fairly technical explanations of risk, etc., and I am still not getting them. Most patients probably don't care about this, but it frustrates me when I can't get a doctor to treat me like a person who is as intelligent as their medical students, just pursuing a different career path. I do find, however, that if I press Miller with sufficient questions, I can usually end up getting answers that are basically satisfying. Before I became pregnant, I also saw the NP at the clinic, Cathy Hubbard. She was very pleasant and friendly, and as a substitute for one of the OBs on staff with minor issues, I highly recommend her. Unfortunately, the main nurse who works with Miller, Gloria, is a NIGHTMARE. This would be a four-star rating if Miller and Gloria were not apparently a package deal. She doesn't seem to know anything about any aspect of care--when she was pushing very strongly for me to get the first trimester screening for Down's syndrome, she couldn't even answer my question about the false positive rate with the screening--and she is EXTREMELY uncommunicative. When I came in at 8 weeks for my first ultrasound follow-up, I was already on Zofran (an anti-emetic) that had been prescribed by Hubbard. I explained that I was still very sick most of the time, not throwing up but constantly nauseated, and Gloria grudgingly allowed that I could take one more pill a day. When I asked if we could try a complementary medication, she dismissed the idea out of hand. She also couldn't find most of the materials she was supposed to be giving to me, and was constantly in and out of the office; that afternoon, I got a call at home from Miller because Gloria had forgotten to look at the sonogram with me, the ostensible purpose of the entire visit! Then, when I saw Miller for my 11-week visit, it turned out that a) I could take FIVE more pills a day of the Zofran, not one, and b) she was happy to write a prescription for two other anti-nausea meds to supplement the Zofran when the nausea was especially bad. I finally discovered, when I had to go through several rounds of phone tag getting the dosage info on the Zofran changed so that insurance would refill it at the appropriate time, that Gloria had assumed at my 8 week visit that I was on the 8mg pills. I wasn't--I was on the 4mg ones, and she had never asked or, apparently, made any effort to even confirm her assumption. I firmly believe that there are three weeks of my life I could have felt mostly okay instead of horribly, permanently hung over, but I lost them because Gloria is incompetent. Every phone interaction I have the with clinic is painful, because Gloria is always the first line of "communication." If I didn't already know how difficult it would be to find an OB who is reasonable about interventions, I would be looking for a replacement. As it is, I put up with Gloria because I need Miller, but it is far from an ideal situation.

The front office staff and doctors talk at you like you've just wasted their time and love to contradict your own experience or dismiss you outright. Rude and discouraging. And then, when you do find a provider you like she leaves (no fault to her for that) but as a patient at the clinic you have to go back on the "waiting list" because the other providers aren't taking "new patients"....even when you aren't a new patient to the clinic. I wanted to like this place, I wanted the small clinic feel where I thought it would be warm and welcoming, not the busy rushed atmosphere of the large mega clinics in the area. I tried for almost 10 years; Not worth it. As I get older I am going to need a place that listens to me and treats me politely. Unless they overhaul the staff I don't see that happening here so I'm doing something I should have done years ago. Leave.

Two years ago three members of our family were given a new diagnosis that required some navigating of the health care system (laws, paperwork, additional appts, etc.) The staff at this facility is often unhelpful in aiding us with questions or navigating our care plan. They do not help patients understand processes, guidelines or care schedule. We've had lost paperwork, missed medications, and more. I've mentioned before that I do not understand our care plan, but no one offers to help talk through it or kindly and patiently explain things to me. I'm often met with curt responses and just dead-end "good luck with that" kind of attitude. I feel that the staff finds me difficult. Im sure. But I'm a mother advocating for my child, and when my healthcare team is not helping me help my child then I will continue to advocate for them. I don't think it's too much to ask for people to tell us if things are coming up due. I understand the staff have limitations and guidelines to follow. However, if you're the type of person looking for healthcare team who are ON YOUR SIDE, who advocate and look out for you, then this is not the facility for you. I've called the patient complaint department before and unfortunately not had any resolution. Another message left today. We will see.

I'm in my mid-20s and have some medical issues that require management by a hematologist; I'm also a graduate student and very invested in my own care. Previous primary care docs had treated me like an idiot and given me info that I strongly suspected was erroneous. I tried Beamsley on the advice of another grad student (who is also, like me, female), and I am so glad I did. During my first physical, I mentioned that friends of mine in Missouri had been required to discontinue Depo Provera (the birth control shot) because physicians there told them that no one should be on it for than five years. Beamsley, who is also an ob-gyn (I see someone else for that), told me he had never heard anything about such a limit, but he would check the literature. I sort of assumed that was the end of it, but two days later, HE CALLED ME AT HOME to tell me that he had looked into it and found nothing in the medical journals about such a limit. He has always taken the time to answer any questions I've had and he obviously respects my intelligence. He's a little socially awkward, but not obnoxious or insensitive. I rarely like doctors even when I have to deal with them, but I like Beamsley a lot, and I feel lucky to have found such a good PC.

As for the earlier review about Dr. Beamsley issuing fake absences, I truly find that hard to believe. I hope that individual who made those accusations really look hard at themselves and realize he/she is really wrong about Dr. Beamsley.
