The new medicine is Womens pelvic health, which includes gynecological and urinary. I've had a really bad patch recently and unable to make an appointment at the few places that are in our area right now servicing women with these problems ....there's only about three of them and one of them...Dr Molden, is a nightmare. You can see my review on that one. Completely on the other side of the fence, Doylestown women's center is compassionate, and so far, although I haven't had my appointment yet, but so far, they impressed me because they seem to believe in the promise they made to "cause no harm" When I called here, they were so empathetic to my situation, that while it was impossible to see the doctor at this moment, they fit me into one of her PAs and I am so looking forward to this group in my visit.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Wolfson. From the moment I walked…read morein, she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. We spent over 30 minutes simply talking before any testing was even done, which meant so much to me. It's rare to find a doctor who truly listens to your concerns and wants to understand the full picture rather than rushing through the appointment as though I am cattle. What I appreciated most was that she focused on finding the root cause of my issues instead of immediately prescribing antibiotics, which have repeatedly failed me in the past. She offered thoughtful at-home remedies and approaches that made me feel genuinely cared for and supported. Something that was super important to me is that the vitamins/supplements she suggested were ones without additives, just clean ingredients which I have at times spent hours searching the web for. It's comforting to know she gets it and I can fully trust her recommendations. On top of that, the annual exam was the most gentle, thorough, and comfortable I've ever had. As soon as I left the office, I called my sister and two of my closest girlfriends to tell them about my experience because I was that happy! They thought I was crazy for going to someones home but I knew in my gut it was what I've been looking for. Glad to share that I was right again :) If you have any reservations, let me negate them, her home was one of the most comforting places I've been, it feels healing, inviting, and warm. It's like your moms artsy friends house you went to as a kid who you just knew was the coolest in the 70s, and probably has killer stories you hope to hear when you're a little older. I'm beyond grateful to have found her and will always go back!

I had a very weird experience with Dr. Prefer. I had been her patient for about 8 months and over…read morethe holiday break went to schedule my annual mammogram. I didn't have a prescription for a mammogram in the portal, and as I had an appointment with her in January I figured I'd get a prescription for it then as it was only a couple weeks away. That would have made me about 4 weeks overdue for a mammogram. During my January appointment I asked Dr. Prefer for a mammogram prescription and immediately after our appointment I got a very hostile note in the portal from her basically saying I was a terrible patient for not having a mammogram and I best shape up if I wanted to be her patient. Baring in mind that I was 4 weeks overdue AND I DIDN'T HAVE A PRESCRIPTION from her for a mammogram. I'm not sure what she had expected me to do without a prescription, and I began to wonder if I was supposed to get one without a prescription and called the imaging center. They said I could "self refer" if I met certain low risk criteria. So I scheduled an appointment as a self referral for later that week. In the meantime I went to the pharmacy for a flu shot and the pharmacy tech told me that they tried to auto refill my usual prescriptions but my doctor had called and canceled all my women's health prescriptions. I asked who would cancel basic maintenance meds and - it was Dr. Prefer. The pharmacy said they never see this. She canceled them the very same day as our appointment. Because I was 4 weeks overdue for a mammogram - AND AGAIN - DID NOT have a prescription. I had my self referred results sent to a new provider who shared in my outrage. People project all sorts of nonsense onto others - but at the point I'm paying $200 for a 20 minute appointment filled with projections of nastiness and hostility is completely unacceptable and frankly entitled and gross. Shame on her.

Dr Prefer has been a blessing to my life and my health for the past 25 years!…read more I first went to Dr. Prefer when I was about 20. For many young women, going for the first ever gynecological exam feels frightening and/or embarrassing. Back then, I was anxious about all medical exams and procedures. Physicians in general scared me and I had already had a bad experience with the very first gynecologist I had tried. Dr Prefer listened to my fears and reassured me in a very calm, soothing voice. She really took her time explaining everything and getting me used to the whole idea of a gynecological exam. I trusted her and was able to relax. Over the last 25 years, Dr Prefer has been there for me consistently, even once late at night for an emergency. I appreciate so much how she has taken care of me all the way from young adulthood through to perimenopause! There's a reason that I drive an hour to see Dr Prefer, and it's that she is and one of the top three doctors I have ever been to for anything in my entire life! Really, I can't imagine a Dr being more caring, approachable, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough than Dr Prefer is. Thank you Dr Prefer!

I transferred my care from an ob to Lifecycle because I knew people who had delivered here. I…read moredidn't want to feel like my pregnancy/birth was just something that happened to me. Throughout my journey I appreciated their patient education, empowerment, and support so I could make informed decisions about my care. I like that my prenatal visits were longer than I could expect with an ob and that they provided a binder for me to bring with assigned homework each visit. Rather than having a "birth plan" (because they usually don't go as planned anyway) we were encouraged to think about our hopes and dreams. Everyone I've met here from the nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, lactation consultants, the clinical director, etc. have all been wonderful to me and if I could do it all over again I would have become a patient here sooner. I had many questions along the way so I'm going to be detailed here so others may know what to expect. Before you can become a patient here you have to attend a seminar to learn more about their midwifery model of care, the differences between a birth in their suites vs. at Bryn Mawr Hospital nearby (you can plan to deliver there or there may be reasons you are transferred there the day of, the nurse midwife on call has the clearance to deliver there), postpartum care, and next steps to become a patient. After attending the seminar, I had to sign a medical release forms to have my records transferred from my previous provider before I could schedule any appointments. They have two locations (Bryn Mawr and South Philly) and prenatal visits could be with the same provider or different providers. The first prenatal visit is longer and billed separately while the rest of the appointments are billed to insurance together under their global plan after delivery (not after each appointment). During my regular prenatal visits they measured my fundal height and would feel my bump for the baby's position while estimating weight (they were pretty good at that)! I had to pay for lab tests and non-stress tests separately. While I had to do my formal ultrasounds elsewhere, they had the equipment to do informal ultrasounds just to check on the health of the baby and seemed to be training their staff to do these more. I was required to schedule several classes to prepare for childbirth (series of 4 classes), about lactation essentials, and about navigating your first days at home after birth. The instructors really encourage asking questions and participation, so it was helpful to have this intimate space for that. The dates and cost of these classes are available on their site but you can't schedule them until you're confirmed as a patient. After your delivery they will follow up with you (home visit if you delivered at the birth center or phone call if you delivered at the hospital). There will be a 6-weeks postpartum visit to examine you and make sure your body is recovering but also to check on your mental health (so necessary and important)! They also have weekly lactation support and new parent support groups that were happening on Zoom, I think they are also now offering in-person options too. I could tell from the session I went to that the other families really found this space helpful and were wanting to offer encouragement to newer parents like me while sharing about their knowledge/experience. Cara, one of the lactation consultants, facilitates the virtual groups and is amazing! I hope all this information helps anyone who is considering becoming a Lifecycle patient because the last thing a pregnant woman should have to worry about is the quality of care she is receiving.
