Dr. Shana who I love is no longer with Viva Eve but I am still confident this is still the place…read morefor me. The service is still top tier comprehensive feminine care. Checking in is a breeze. You have the ease of several comfy and accommodating lounges while you wait. Access WiFi and have tea until your provider is available. The assistant and tech staff are the consummate professionals. Today was my first time seeing Damilola. I came in to have fibroids checked. The tech did the ultrasound giving me a play-by-play of what she was doing and why. Damilola came in shortly after. Her temperment was very calming. She introduced herself and explained my results, answered my question and expressed care for other health issues I'm currently navigating. Overall, she was very culturally responsive and that's huge for me as a black woman. Viva Eve is a 10/10 for me. Love it here!

I visited this practice over a year ago to confirm a pregnancy. Since it was very early, the doctor…read moreasked me to come in multiple times over the next two weeks to "confirm" the pregnancy, which seemed excessive. Each visit included a urine test, internal and external sonograms -- all of which felt more like requirements than options. It quickly became clear that they try to schedule as many appointments as possible, likely to bill more. Even after my pregnancy was confirmed, they kept asking me to return -- sometimes every other week -- for unnecessary follow-ups. Each visit involved at least an hour-long wait. I was initially told the practice was in-network with my insurance. However, after a few visits, I started receiving unexpectedly high bills. I was then informed I needed to sign over the insurance reimbursement checks directly to them. I did this for a few visits, but eventually stopped going because it felt like they were more focused on billing than care. Even after providing them with all the checks I received, I'm still being sent bills. I contacted their billing department multiple times -- first in November, when they told me it was just an automated message and not to worry, and now again, only to be told I need to contact my insurance and have the checks reissued. Save yourself the stress and go with another practice. This one has been nothing but a hassle.

Nettle came to us from a trusted recommendation and we have already passed it along to everyone we…read moreknow starting their birthing journey. We are forever grateful for Jo and Jenna's thoughtful and enthusiastic care and support. Every visit, phone call, text, etc was always particular and intimate to our own story while being backed by informed, professional advice and conversation. From billing support to postpartum visits in their new gorgeous office, Nettle made this process easy in a medical landscape that can often be so opaque and overwhelming. As a sporadic doula, I'm lucky enough to have been present at several births and they offer a level of care that I didn't know existed. We were fortunate to have an incredible home birth in our barely one bedroom apartment and throughout felt supported but empowered, nurtured but independent. From the first meeting we knew it was the only way, and they were there for us every step. Both pre and post natal care (not to mention labor and birth support) were approached with attentiveness, warmth, and joyful tenderness. I've carried their philosophy with me into parenthood and find myself asking WW(Jo/Jenna)D for decisions beyond the health of our baby girl and myself. Their sage advice and general outlook on all things birthing and beyond offer a lovely bedrock for this new phase. Briefly, we cannot recommend them highly enough. We love you Jo and Jenna and the whole Nettle crew!

I had the home birth I was hoping for, and never for a second felt like I wasn't in the best hands possible. My experience with them was transformative. If you want to feel supported, heard, understood, if you want to ask questions without fear of feeling annoying, if you want your appointments to feel like the focus is 100% on you, this is the place to go.

THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE SCAM. I'm writing this while…read moresitting in the waiting room of my new doctor's office -- and honestly, thank God I decided to finally switch doctors. I found this place through Zocdoc while dealing with months of lower abdominal pain, infection symptoms and rashes. I don't have insurance, so I was desperate for help and trusted the glowing reviews. Big mistake. HUGE. My first visit was with a doctor named Maria Leon. She spent most of the $200 consult complaining and admitted she didn't even know how to read the ultrasound I was paying out of pocket for. I asked to switch doctors immediately. I also left a bad review because no one, especially vulnerable women, should be paying what they charge for such shitty service. Then Dr. Shayeb -- the "main" doctor -- contacted me, clearly to get me to delete the review. He offered to "redo" my tests, found I had ureaplasma, and gave me a week of Cipro. That was it. No follow-up. I had to call multiple times to get information or even instructions and every time I called, the secretary up front had the attitude of ugh its u again. Today, months later after finishing all the treatments they sent me there to a T, still with the same symptoms, I finally went to a decent urologist, brought my medical records from there thank GOD, and watched him literally shake his head non stop reading them. He told me it was insane they only treated ureaplasma for one week -- something any competent doctor would know is ineffective. He said I was pumped with months of antibiotics that were given in the wrong dosages and schedules, making them useless and I quote, said, "who is this doctor? I feel so bad for you that you now have to pay for everything AGAIN". Due to being prescribed multiple rounds of different antibiotics, I may have developed resistance to treatment. This could make healing significantly more difficult--and I've wasted over $1,000 in the process. So here's the truth: if you don't have insurance or are looking for actual medical help, DO NOT GO HERE. This place is a SCAM. They will take your money, misdiagnose you, mistreat you, and then try to silence you. Cause they need to keep their google reviews up so other girls fall in the same trap I did. Maybe they're fine for an easy pregnancy, but for anything else? Don't risk it. Literally anywhere else is a better choice.

I asked her why she was telling me that; all she said was, "Don't you want kids?" She was very rough, aggressive, and painful during the medical exam as well. She also made other rude comments again, asking why I switched doctors so much. I had to switch to a new OBGYN because she did absolutely nothing for my problem; seeing her was a waste of time. I will never make an appointment with her again.

I do not recommend Dr. Donn. On my first appointment, I noticed some uncomfortable things about her…read moreas a doctor. During my very first prenatal appointment, a Pap smear was performed because I hadn't had one recently. I knew it was required, but while she performed the Pap smear, she didn't explain anything she was doing; she just did it. It was the same thing when she checked my cervix with her fingers. She literally just stuck them up there without explaining why, which was very uncomfortable. It would have been helpful if she had explained what she was doing and why. Another odd thing was that she asked about my partner's ethnicity, thinking he was Guyanese like she is. It seems she picks and chooses whom she treats well based on ethnicity, as suggested by my experience and her reviews, but that's another story. The medical assistant asked if I had any complaints, and I mentioned my severe morning sickness, which later turned out to be a bigger issue. When I tried to explain to Dr. Donn how many times I was throwing up and how intense my nausea was, she interrupted me to say she could only keep orange soda and Reese's down. This was very unempathetic and unprofessional, especially considering it's my first pregnancy and I was describing something debilitating. Despite these issues, I wanted to give her another chance at my next appointment, understanding that everyone can have an off day. After my appointment, I messaged her asking for a doctor's note to reduce my work hours due to my severe nausea and vomiting. Instead of providing the note, the front desk called me to come in because Dr. Donn wanted to speak to me. This was very frustrating because if she had let me explain myself two days prior, I wouldn't have had to waste my time coming in again while feeling very ill. When I met her at the office, she diagnosed me with HG and said she would prescribe medication. When I asked for a note to reduce my work hours temporarily, she condescendingly said, "It doesn't work like that. It's either you work or you don't work. Why don't you just take the next two weeks off and relax?" My job only needed a simple note confirming reduced hours, but Dr. Donn wanted to involve insurance and other unnecessary steps. I didn't need a disability or insurance claim. I have since switched to a different doctor in the same office. When Dr. Donn is there, I can hear her clearly demanding things from the medical staff, exhibiting an aggressive demeanor, and wanting things her way, causing the staff to run around stressed. This is embarrassing for patients in the office, and it's clear she doesn't think people notice her behavior, but we do. Based on her numerous negative reviews across multiple websites, I feel reassured that I am not alone in my experience. It's a shame that, as an OBGYN working in one of the most sensitive fields in women's health, anatomy, and pregnancy, she can be so mean-spirited. She seemed to know and talk more about insurance than anything else, and if that's her focus, she should work in insurance instead of OBGYN care since she has the attitude of an insurance specialist.
