They talk you through each step, provide honest and thorough answers, and are extremely welcoming. They gave numbing cream for the insertion and it made the experience so much easier.

I have been in Dr. Christine Hansen care for 7 years. There were two instances where she kept…read moreinformation from me. First when I got a full STD testing, I was told all is well. When I wanted to share the results with my boyfriend now husband I realized I tested positive for HSV-1. This although might seem common in USA but it was news to me. I had gotten it from my ex-husband. So the doctor made an assumption to not share this. No big deal... let's move on. Second time I went to the doctor sharing I have very painful periods in 2023. The doctor did a vaginal ultrasound and said they didn't find any problem and everything looks good. I dont have pcos or anything else. It's just my physiology that causes painful periods and they can prescribe a stronger pain reliever. 1.5 years later my endocrinologist does a renal ultrasound and finds an ovarian cyst. They feel concerned and a few months later they repeat the exam and the cyst persisted and has slightly grown. I call my obgyn receptionist and notify them about this and they mention that I have had cysts before. I am shocked to hear this. I call again to get more details and find that I had a complex cyst on my left ovary and a simple cyst on my right side. Well 1.5 years later the complex cyst has doubled in size. I had a co-worker ask me for obgyn recommendations stating they wanted to change their's due to poor bed side manners. It turned out it was Dr. Christine Hansen. I wasn't surprised since I had heard this before. I chose to stay because she was recommended to me by a close friend who is a local and I agreed with her this doctor does feel smart. I do think this doctor is smart, but she makes assumptions and keeps info from you. She doesn't trust that your genuine concerns and dismisses them (for whatever reason). I can't trust her a third time. Regarding all the negative reviews for the receptionist, I have to thank her. This one star is for her. Now the painful periods make sense. The lower back pain in the left side makes sense. Thank you!

I'm so happy to finally have found a uro/GYN who "gets it" regarding my diagnosis of interstitial…read morecystitis (painful bladder syndrome) and OAB. At our first visit at the Erie office, Dr. McNamara listened attentively and was respectful and validating about my questions and concerns, as well as being friendly and caring. Unlike the office that I'd previously sought care with, he didn't suggest to me, "Don't define yourself by your illness" (and that from a female, albeit a young one - may she never be diagnosed with this painful condition). In contrast, Dr. McNamara understands my efforts at being informed and proactive. I've never been one to play my "tiny violin," and am a survivor/thriver of breast CA who has otherwise been active and healthy my entire life. Suddenly developing an issue with chronic pain was something I'd never dealt with before, and that threw me for quite a loop. I now feel like I have a provider who really understands how debilitating this condition can potentially be. Our first visit was a very thorough one, and I left there feeling like I wasn't being discounted or dismissed. I can't tell you how much that means for someone managing a painful diagnosis that can be difficult to treat, and I feel like I'm now finally in good hands. Dr. McNamara was recommended to me by a provider at my primary's office, and I'm so glad I took his advice to go see him. I will say that the Erie front desk staff is a lot more pleasant than the Boulder front desk. I echo the reviews of others that the front desk at the Boulder office leaves a LOT to be desired. No smiles, very curt, seem like they really don't want to be there. I seem to remember this from a past visit years ago and a less-than-desirable experience with all kinds of miscommunication with nurses when an MD was out on an unexpectedly lengthy family emergency leave. I had my primary take over my basic Rx for estradiol at that point, which was the only reason I was being seen by them, but gave them another chance when Dr. McNamara was recently recommended for this current issue. So glad I did. I can overlook the borderline rude front desk staff just to see him. Also, MA Katie (I think that was her name) was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, because of the front desk staff, I'd be hesitant to go there as a first-time parent. You want a more caring experience from the very first moment you call and step in the office waiting room to the time you deliver and beyond, and that includes the front desk. But as far as Dr. McNamara and his assistant, I've had an excellent experience going to BWC.

But they'll pay the resulting hospital bills; just not the ones for the doctor who butchered you. Then they'll transfer her (above-mentioned doctor) away to another hospital in Boulder County.

However, in case he is still…read morepracticing, I would like to post a review that he is one of the finest physicians I have ever been treated by. That from me is a big statement, as my own father was an eminent, much loved surgeon. Dr. Thayer takes time with each patient -- a remarkable amount of time in the US today. He is thoughtful and considerate, and explains everything thoroughly. I don't know who in the practice may have talked down to a patient, as someone here posted. However, I would be willing to bet it was not Dr. Thayer. He delivered my daughter, in a very difficult birth, and was cool, caring and kind with us. I hope he's well and still practicing.

When I came to see Dr. Thayer for the first time (back in 2013) he assured me that it was entirely likely and that I probably have a mild copper allergy. Additionally his staff has always been friendly and attentive and I've never run into problems with a follow up calls or tests. I'm very sorry to see someone else had a negative experience and I would say based on my history with Dr. Thayer and multiple friends of mine that I have sent to him, that an experience like that is abnormal in his practice.
