Each visit to WHS is excellent. Everyone cares about your well-being from the receptionist, who always knows your name, to the doctors. If you have a procedure of any kind you can expect someone from the office to call you personally the next day or two to see how you are feeling or if you need anything. Dr. Steren, in particular, is a gentle giant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. His knowledge in the field is unmatched and his bedside manner is incomparable! You are in good hands at WHS!

Hello everyone! My experience with Women's Health Specialists was amazing post-op, they were very professional and efficient. All the questions I had before have been very nicely explained to me and even throw some jokes here and there to completely make me comfortable. I will recommend them anytime, before, during and after procedure;you will very much be satisfied. Thanks Nadine and Doctor Steren for taking care of me, you rock! Also everyone working there!

Dr. Levav spent a lot of time with me explaining osteoporosis and why we need to treat it now before it gets worse. She also explained in depth how I should be doing strength exercises to make my bones stronger. I appreciate that I wasn't wishes out the door and could express my thoughts on the methods of treatment.

Nadine Flaharty treats her patients like family. She takes the time not only to examine you, but to educate her patients about their health and answers patient's question. I tried another practice when pregnant, but came right back to her. I look forward to seeing her and feel my well-being is at the forefront of her approach. The staff is courteous and helpful.

The front desk staff were kind and professional. When I came here a while ago, I had Dr. Studley & she was professional and kind. This last time I came, I had Dr. Levav and felt like I was being talked over & not heard. I did not appreciate her service at all, as she was unpleasant the entire conversation after she asked if I was vaccinated. The experience with her really left a sour taste in my mouth and I hope that in the future, she is more conscious of her affect on people.

My mother and I have been seeing Nadine Flaharty, CNM for many years (since I was a teen). No matter how far away I move, I frequently make the trip back to her because I trust no one more with my care. Nadine has always cared about my health and me as a person. She is patient, kind, and has a wonderful personality. Anyone would be lucky to have such an amazing provider. Looking forward to a GYN appointment is not something frequently done, but knowing I'll see Nadine and she will do everything in her power to minimize any discomfort is incredibly helpful.
She has inserted and removed two of my implants, both of which she did an excellent job on. Nadine takes the time to answer any and all questions without judgement. I am grateful to have been her patient for so long!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Barter of Women's Health Specialists. I had a virtual consultation with him prior to my procedure, he was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I did not feel rushed, he spent quite a while answering my extensive list of questions. The procedure went so smoothly thanks to Dr. Barter and the rest of the wonderful hospital staff. Highly recommend!

Dr. Steren and Nadine Thompson are amazing. They are both so caring, take the time to answer all of your questions, so calming and are a gifted doctor and PA. I highly recommend both of them and can't thank them enough for all they did for me. It's so rare to find Drs and Pa's in todays medical world that take the time to talk to you and truly listen. I can't say enough wonderful things about both Dr. Steren and Nadine Thompson. Truly wonderful! Thank you!

Congratulations to Drs Snyder, Steren, and Barter for being awarded the "Top Doctors of 2021" recognition! So very proud of you and your staff! I first met Dr Steren in 1996 and have been a patient in their practice since. The services I received from Dr Snyder were excellent. I really appreciated the time she took to explain everything to me very clearly and thoroughly.
She made sure I understood next steps. I feel safe and secure under Dr Snyder's care and am privileged to be able to see her. The staff are always friendly, caring, down to earth, and definitely helpful. They are especially well organized, professional, and efficient. And WHS offices are state of the art! I highly recommend Women's Health Specialists.
