    Great experience! This was my first visit and I was out in 30 minutes - pretty unheard of for…read moredoctors appointments! Front desk staff was super nice and I really liked Dr. Ho. Bonus: they have spindrift in the waiting room!

    If I could leave less than a one star review, I would. This was the worst doctor experience I've…read moreever had in my life. They made me wait one hour before I actually got to see the doctor. They also DID NOT tell me that the doctor that I booked the appointment with was not there. The front staff and the nurses did not tell me the doctor I booked with wouldn't be there. TRUE MALPRACTICE. The doctor that helped me, Dr. branch, was the most unprofessional doctor I have ever experienced. I told her about how my period pain completely immobilizes me and she said "sorry that's basically just period pain". At one point when I did not want to interact with her anymore because of her dismissive and rude attitude, she asked me "did I say something to piss you off" what kind of doctor asks that.... She also told me to look into eastern practices for help with my pain. I literally couldn't even listen to her, the worst "doctor" I have ever had. Insane. Please please do not book here. I have never left a negative review in my life and I never complain. This was genuinely so so horrible. Left in tears. They also have extremely sketchy pricing. Please stay away.

    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 is a very late review considering I gave birth to my first child in 2022 but I thought this…read morewas still a very necessary experience to share. I actually called to make an appointment for another day but they told me there was availability today at 2:45 PM. They said, "don't be late". So I wasn't. I left work, thinking I can be back soon. Long and behold, I waited for 4 hours before I was able to see a doctor. I did not get back to work until the work day was over! My pregnancy at the time was very stressful for me. I was constantly spotting, was passing blood clots and was straight up bleeding later on in the game. Mind you, one of my clots had me thinking that I lost my baby -- it was the size of a golf ball. The doctorS were pretty dismissive about my spotting situation and did not even try looking into it. So many of my friends and even my sister was asking me -- why didn't they send you in for a scan or send you to a specialist to try figuring out what was wrong? It was only later on when I was straight up bleeding that they took me seriously and sent me over to the hospital to get a steroid shot since it was then much closer to my due date. Some time later it was finally time to deliver the baby. I was thankful to Dr. Karen that she decided to keep me at the hospital because the nurse was thinking about sending me away since she did not believe that my water broke (it did). However, it was a different doctor that did the delivery. It was a very fast delivery. I only pushed for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I think they screwed up the stitching on me. I had this weird, uncomfortable and sometimes even painful skin hanging on me until my new doctor from another clinic assisted with my second pregnancy (so glad that I decided to go elsewhere).

However, they will let you wait more than 45 mins in the doctor's office and blame you if you come a bit early. During in the waiting room, I heard the front staff making comment about the patients attitude and appointment issue. The conversation make me so uncomfortable and want to get out of this place.
