i was able to go in quickly, they were LGBTQIA friendly, they were understanding and helpful for the issues i came in for.

Do not go to women's resource. They misdiagnosed me for something serious and left me untreated for half a year, then "oopsie" was all I got after I pressed for surther testing. Don't go there for ANYTHING. If I could rate zero stars I absolutely would. They ruined my mental health and severely put my physical health in jeopardy. read more

If I could do no stars, this would be it. Literally wtf is this place. Extremely unprofessional on the outside when you first arrive to their suite. when you're working at a clinic, politics and political views stay at home not brought to work. Whoever is running this place needs to correct this behavior because it's embarrassing. read more

Let me start off by saying this place is completely unprofessional and treats their patients AWFUL!!! I have never had a more traumatizing experience at any doctors office or hospital in my whole entire life. Let alone as a WOMAN, at a WOMENS clinic!!! Please do not let anyone you know come here, steer them away at all costs! My appointment was at 2 pm. they rescheduled me (the day before i was supposed to have my appointment) for 10:30 am instead, with NO warning whatsoever. Didn't leave a voicemail or text . (I live 3 hours away!!) Then once I got there, I sat for 4 hours! After the 4 hours, they tried to start administering my IV to give me pain medication. The woman stabbed me over and over again, and told me "it's not her fault your veins are so small". I still waited, hoping to have them give me my meds another way. Then a few moments later a woman i had not seen once i those 5 hours, comes into the waiting room as im crying, and tells me they are going to REFUSE ME SERVICE IF I KEEP THIS ATTITUDE UP!! I replied "i really hope you wouldn't refuse me service just because i am in distress and have a big fear of needles." , the woman replied "it is not our fault you decided to give up. you could've let her keep trying" ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL??? Mind you I did not have an attitude, I was crying a lot. Because they are so incompetent that they couldn't have the medication expert even find a vein in my arm. All of the ladies working were just laughing, being loud in their own worlds, ordering Doordash and being very very Improfessional. They were also scheduling "walk ins" as i was waiting when they clearly had NO room for any more people. Once again I will say please please keep anyone you can AWAY FROM THIS GOD AWFUL "women's" clinic!!! read more

I was really anxious for my visit but a shorter lady by the name of Erin & another lady named Sherrie were so helpful. it was hard to focus on what I was going to endure because the staff was so nice & made sure I was comfortable the entire visit. I would go to them for all my needs. Women's health clinics like this one is hard to find. I previously was in contact with Planned Parenthood in both Chico & Orinda & I was given the run around on many occasions & they were rude! I was glad I exhausted my resources & found Women'a Health Specialist. They were extremely helpful!!! read more

Very irritated with the staff at my sister's appointment. We had made an appointment and filled out information online and in advance prior to coming in, but 30 minutes into waiting, they waited to tell us their online system is down and she needed to fill out again. So 4 women (2 with walk in) were helped before us and we've been waiting for a damn room for 3 hours!!! Not to mention when my sister took samples in the bathroom, they didn't have any supplies stocked for her to even begin with. Very unprofessional, terrible scheduling and unsatisfied overall with our visit after traveling out of our way to come to this. Come to find out the doctor wasn't here the whole time while we wasted 3 hours. Will not be coming back. Do better for the mothers waiting to have hard procedures like this and update: they're officially closed and she still hasn't been helped... her appointment was at 12:20pm.. ITS 5:00pm. read more

Friendly staff! Honestly even if you have an appointment just expect to wait. Take the day off actually. Just be thankful their still in business and offer free bc and checkups read more

I wouldn't bother to do more than an sti/infection check, or birth control here. They us don't always thoroughly check you to figure out what is really wrong. Timing is a hit or miss. Sometimes I can get out quick, but many times I am there longer than at the e.r. read more

Very disappointed. Waited 3 hours for an follow up & medication. Was told that my medication will be ready after the visit. Stopped by the pharmacy twice but nothing from them. Called in and they reordered it but nothing again. Called in the second time and was told that I need to make an appointment for the medication. I do not have the time to wait for 3 hours again. I will not come back. read more

I feel very comfortable, respected and safe with the staff and providers every time I come in. They are fairly busy yet treat everyone fairly. I would recommend this place to others. Be sure to make an appointment :) read more

Reading the reviews, this is truly a shameful commentary on women's healthcare. I dropped off my CV to talk to them about an internship for my Master's in Social Work. They ended up sending me a letter saying I wasn't a good fit based on my CV. How the heck can they judge someone's credentials based solely on the resume? I have spent my entire first year in grad school writing papers advocating for women's rights and reproductive health. It is one of my passions. read more

I had an appointment set for 3:20 and I waited in the waiting room for 1 hour and 20 minutes. I then told the nurses I had work and would like to be seen, they said the drs were on break. After a couple minutes I was brought into an office where I waited for another 20 minutes until I had to leave. I wasn't seen so all in all not that great. read more

Think it's very important to write a review about this health center, after reading some negative reviews. I had a very good experience, especially considering I was so so nervous about the procedure going in. I drove from Grass Valley as a friend recommended this clinic to me, and while 1.5 hours away, I'm glad I did. I had to terminate a pregnancy due to a missed miscarriage and was very upset and nervous about the process / procedure. I've also had some traumatic IUD insertion experiences and was terrified of experiencing anything similar. When I got there everyone was immediately nice, and several staff members noticed how nervous I was and sat me down to talk through what was going on. Also, it feels like you're in some luxe grown-up day care with the ratio of staff members to each patient - lots of people there to help out. I also wanted to speak to the reviewer who said they did not offer antibiotics - they absolutely DO OFFER antibiotics, as well as a variety of pain and anxiety medication, all of which were helpful. The only thing I would say actually is that the nurse almost talked me out of taking the fentanyl - talking to me about side effects and how she never uses it... So, word to the wise: TAKE. THE. FENTANYL. It is effective and extremely short-acting - so NO WORRIES, if you have a bad reaction it can stop immediately. My father is an MD, and explained this all to me, otherwise I probably would not have taken it. It really helped me calm down, and my pain level was near zero the entire procedure. I am so so relieved. Also, I took 800 mg Ibprofen ON TOP of the fent, which I also recommend - I had to request this in addition to the fent and anti-anxiety meds. (Btw, I am a small, small person and I was fine with all this medication.) So for those who are as nervous as I was, and reading reviews - WHS will take good care. Only other side-note, the doc did NOT do an ultrasound before the procedure, which I thought was odd - but I did come in with several ultrasounds for her to review, so maybe that was enough for her. Anyway, recovery so far has been easy, will update if anything goes wrong - but for now, you're lucky to have found this place, it is an oasis in a confusing and scary world of reproductive health. read more

I'm very frustrated by this place specifically because of one doctor or nurse practitioner, really unsure what her position is and didn't give me the title/name of her assistant when I referred to her. Just "other person"??? Wait time wasn't too bad in the two separate waiting rooms (why are there two??), but after being taken by this "other person" to an office and reviewing why I was there (get a refill on my birth control) I was told it had been discontinued and they would give me a different brand with the same formula. I waited at least 40 minutes for the "doctor/nurse". No idea what took so long, but she came in, basically repeated what I had already been told, but told me that they didn't have 9 months of the new brand of BC they are giving me in stock and are sending it to my pharmacist. She then asked if I had any questions. They had given me a piece of paper explaining the birth control pill and some instructions and I had a couple questions about it. She told me it was "much too late in the evening for that confusing sentence" I had asked her about and that she hadn't even read the paper that they gave me. I then asked why I even got the paper in the first place and she said "because theres a lot of good information on it"???? I thought she said she hadn't read it...As I was leaving she told me I'd make a good researcher because I asked good questions. And it doesn't end there. Went to my pharmacist, somehow knew I was going to have issues and opted out of going through the drive through, the brand they prescribed to me isn't covered by my insurance AND it was only for 3 months with no refills. Called them to change the brand earlier and have yet to see if I will have anymore issues. Overall, extremely frustrating. Two stars because staff (except nurse/doctor) is helpful and professional, and I am receiving services through the Cal Family Pact insurance. read more

Long story short this place is an incredible waste of time and money. After two very poor experiences I decided to take my business to Esplanade women's health center where I was treated with the up most respect and understanding. Thank you esplanade for being more caring and going above and beyond to making room for me last minute. I appreciate esplanade women's health center. read more

I went here to get my Well Woman check. Without checking my complex medical history in this area, I was told multiple times by staff that I only need it once every three years (which is not the case in my situation). I had an appointment at 3pm and was not seen by a provider until 5:30pm. When I did the provider, she didn't introduce herself or ask about any of my medical history. The exam didn't include a breast exam or even a bimanual which are standard with this type of visit. Turn around for results is 2 weeks. Needless to say, as a medical provider myself, I will not be returning to this clinic. I'm giving 2 stars because the clinic was clean and the staff was polite. read more

I came in right when they opened. Filled out the paper work got told it would take long cuz I have a private insurance. Wait an hour to get call to the back. Waited 30 minuets in the back waiting room then got called to the exam room. The worker Sherrie was super nice and friendly(that's why I gave them two stars). Then after she talked and got all the paperwork in order. I had to wait 45 minutes just to have the nurse can in to give me my depo shot. I'm so upset and will never come back here again. read more

I'm so thankful for Women's Health Specialists! What a wonderful community resource. In particular, Rebekah, aka Miss Bliss is so knowledgable & friendly! She answered my questions well & helped me feel comfortable. Thank you!!! read more

The doctor is rude, insensitive, and condescending. What a shame for a place that is supposed to support women and their needs.

Super judgmental staff. I was uncomfortable the entire time, and will definitely not be coming back.

This place is awesome! Going to the lady doctor is never pleasant but the staff here makes it so great. The front desk is always professional and kind. I have had several interactions with Rebeka and the awesome Nurse Practitioner (I wish I remembered her name!) over the last two years. They are both personable, kind, and informative. I started going to this place because I had no insurance and now that I do I still go because they are so great! I seriously recommend them all the time. Its hard to find a doctor or office that I connect to and feel takes care of me-but I have found it at Women's Health Specialists and I am so grateful! read more

The staff here is so incredibly nice and helpful. I wish I could give them a thousand stars! They actually listen to you, and care about what you're going through. I would recommend this office to anyone! read more

THIS IS NOT A GYNOCOLOGIST OFFICE. They only check for STD's, STI's, UTI's, yeast infections, and BV (along with pregnancy tests and birth control) I wasted two hours to find that out. NOW YOU KNOW If you need a gyno you'll have to be referred by a doctor to a gynocologist. There are none here. read more

Unless you've cleared your entire schedule for your appointment, don't make an appointment here thinking you'll be in and out in about an hour or so. I was told to schedule an appointment in the afternoon and that I could be squeezed in before lunch no problem. This was perfect for me as I work two jobs and only have a small period of availability until I have to go to my other job. After filling out paperwork and waiting a few minutes, I suspected I would be seen within the next 10-15 minutes considering there were no other patients waiting and the office seemed quiet. They call my name, take my payment, and then send me into a SECOND waiting room. An hour and 15 minutes go by as I watch more and more staff members get sent to lunch. I was really hoping to be seen even though I had waited so long because I was only there for a prescription refill. Unfortunately, I was now running late for work and requested a refund since they already charged me. I wasted over an hour and a half of my time to not even receive any sort of service from them. I was really hoping this place would be better as there seems to be very few solid women's health centers here in town. read more

Anna Marie and Lori are amazing. Take care of you, they're funny, and they don't judge you. So glad I switched from planned parenthood. They get you in quick and you can even walk in at most times. 11/10 would recommend read more

I was just on hold for 13 minutes to have the answering service finally come on the line and tell me the office wouldn't be open until 10:00 am today and to call back then. I asked her why I was on hold so long if they aren't even taking calls and she said I've got 10 women's health calls "lit up" right now. Well how the hell long does it take to write a name and number down??? What are they doing? Free phone exams by the answering service???? If this is any indication how this relationship is going to go, I want to end it before it even gets started. So to update. After a much DREADED office visit, I can honestly say if you are thinking about going to this place, DO NOT. That female PA needs to get out of the vagina business. I'm sorry but she was a rude wench. I have never felt so dismissed and unfairly judged. You are not a people person you rude beast. Go to Planned Parenthood. Stay away from this this broad. read more

The women who work there are professional, helpful and thoughtful. Rebekah helped me at my last appt and made sure all my questions were answered. Thank you read more

Now I know why they were taking "new patients". I won't make that mistake twice. When I called, she asked why I needed to see the doctor. I explained. She couldn't grasp what I was saying. She had to call back a day later and ask me again. On the day of my appointment, I was seen an hour and 15 minutes past my appointment. Dr. spent less than 5 minutes with me and told me that I need to see a general practitioner. Why couldn't they have said that over the phone? Poor Communication, Poor Comprehension, Poor Service! read more

Would give 5 stars, but I waited 1 1/2 hours for my daughters appt. Rebekah and Lorrie were absolutely wonderful with my daughter. Everyone there is very caring, light-hearted, professional and helpful. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby girl! read more
