Called today per my primary doctors request to be seen for a recent symptom. This office refused to even make me an appointment and suggest I go to the ER. In speaking with local women who have gone here, they said they weren't happy by the end of pregnancy with this office. Great insurance = no service, boo. read more

Going with Shawn Johnson, CNM and the midwifery group at Western OB-GYN in Waconia was one of the best decisions I made during my recent first pregnancy. I chose to leave my original care provider at 41 weeks and two days and I was terrified! Suddenly this crucial time turned into a search for a midwife who would care for me as if she had been there from day one. Shawn did just that and more. She truly listened to my fears and concerns; and my serious desire for a natural labor and delivery, despite my doubts. Both my husband and I felt safe, comfortable and important to her during prenatal appointments and labor/delivery. It was so clear we were more than a job for her--our family's health and happiness was her priority. She replaced any uncertainties I had with confidence, in a beautiful and supportive environment. Shawn found her niche in this world. Her passion for pregnancy, family and natural childbirth is easy to see through her experience, knowledge and personable approach. She even visited my family in the hospital the day after my daughter was born! I couldn't have felt more special or blessed by Shawn and the entire midwife group at Western OB-GYN! This was the best birth experienced I could have imagined and would recommend her to everyone! read more

Western OB Gyn - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Waconia, Minnesota

There are a handful of providers in this office but I have only seen Dr. Mohling. I couldn't be happier that I found this office. Moved in the area from IL and was freaking out about finding a new doctor. So glad I decided to try this practice out. Dr. Mohling is so polite, his bedside manner is fantastic and he really makes you feel comfortable. Another plus, I hear the Waconia Hospital is the hospital to go to around here. Woo hoo for only living 2 minutes away! read more

I have never felt more comfortable with a care team as I have with the entire team at Western OB/Gyn. I have seen multiple doctors within the practice due to a couple of challenging and high-risk pregnancies that required multiple visits. No matter who I had to see, they were all communicating with each other constantly and aware of my situation. I was the type of person who always wanted a female physician, but after meeting Dr. Mohling - that all changed. He is incredible. He takes time to answer all of my questions and makes me feel at ease. The front desk staff, nursing and ultrasound teams are top notch. I have seen and also recommend Dr. Baudoin, Dr. Valley and Dr. Michaulk. read more

Dr. Mohling is the most caring thoughtful doctor I have ever worked with. Even though I had moved out of state and am now seeing a new OB, their office has continued to answer questions and advise me. They have amazing staff and take care of their patients. read more

I was so incredibly disappointed with how I was treated from the moment I stepped in the door to walking out after being asked to re-schedule for being 10 minutes late to see Gina Edison (whom is not even a doctor there, but a nurse practitioner). This was my first appointment to see Gina Edison for a full three-year check-up and we had scheduled a mammogram to be done the next day (so she could give areas of recommendation for focus, if needed). I did arrive 10 minutes late (it was a 50 minute drive from my work place in downtown Minneapolis to Waconia), and having not done the drive before, I underestimated how long it can take when just on two way roadways. After apologizing, the receptionist called back to see if Gina would still see me and I was informed that I would have to re-schedule. I couldn't believe it. I asked if anyone else was available, as I am not impartial to having to see Gina, and I was told, "no". This meant I would also have to reschedule my mammogram the next day as well. (after taking this time off from work, I was, needless to say... irritated). Obviously, I did not choose to reschedule with Gina Edison, or with Western ob/gyn. It had been over 20 years since I saw anyone from these offices, and they have certainly changed their attitude(s). My Obstetrician from Western ob/gyn, 20 years ago, delivered three of my four children and had the best bed-side manner ever. We laughed, were flexible with one another, and it was a time when the client/patient was #1. This has obviously changed, and the client/patient is no longer #1 in their eyes. I will be hunting elsewhere and have already encouraged my two girlfriends (whom recommended Gina) to do the same. It's unfortunate. read more
