My daughter was seen here on January 6th for removal of a birth control implant. She was uncomfortable with the provider, the receptionist was rude and her post procedure bandage was sub par. In the 15 minute drive home her bandage was soaked through to her clothes. A call to the clinic with concerns was not returned. Very disappointing medical care.

I've been going to Shannon for five years now. She is the best! Shannon makes a not-so-fun experience as comfortable as possible and we catch up every year as if we're best friends. She is fantastic.

Very unhappy with the interaction I just had with staff memeber Bobbi over the phone. I called to ask a generic question and she laughed at me for asking it, offering no help whatsoever. I think she needs to take a refresher training on how to be professional when interacting with patients, considering this is not the only review on this topic. I love Dr Bennett, but this staff member makes me not want to return. So dissapointing when you are trying to start a family and needing guidance.

Amazing office, LOVE Shannon and everyone else is amazing as well. Have used them for 2 of my pregnancies and haven't had any issues compared to the terrible experiences i received at my old OB.

I have been getting treated for an issue I've been having for a couple months that my doctor couldn't seem to figure out, and all I have to say is that the nurse practitioner Shannon has been nothing but helpful. She's very personable and tries her very hardest to make you feel as comfortable as possible. She is amazing.

I was trying to edit my last review but i can't! But i forgot to mention in the post how awesome Munro is as well! He was suppose to be out of town when i had my last baby & i was very upset the morning i went into labor thinking someone else was going to deliver. They called the on call dr & the next thing i knew here comes Munro. He told me he wasn't leaving until the baby was born.

I was so happy! I can't imagine going anywhere else. Munro is straight forward and tells it like it is. Him and Shannon both make it seem like they are some of your good friends. LOVE THIS OBGYN!

I love this place! Bobby is amazing and always remembers who I am. Shannon Bennett is so bubbly and sweet and truly cares about her patients. All the nurses are amazing and knowledgeable and Dr Munro is an awesome doctor. He knows what he is talking about and made me feel so calm during and after my C Section. I will be going here for all my OB needs from now on.

DONT WATSE YOUR TIME SEEING DR. MUNRO. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HOW YOUR BODY FEELS, HE CARED ABOUT WHAT HE READ IN BOOKS TELLING ABOUT HOW A WOMAN SHOULD FEEL AND SAYING ALL WOMEN GO THROUGH THE SAME THINGS. HE COMPARED ME TO HIS WIFE, TELLING ME MY HAIR LOSS WAS NOTHING BECAUSE OF WHAT HIS WIFE IS GOING THROUGH. HE CAME IN THE ROOM LIKE DR. STRANGE WHEN HE WAS STILL A SURGEON IN THE MOVIE, WATCH IT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY I LEFT IN TEARS. HE IS COCKY AND ARROGANT AND VERY VERY FULL OF HIMSELF. DON'T LET HIM PUT YOU THROUGH THIS LIKE I DID. GO TO SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT HOW YOUR FEELING AND DOESN'T COMPARE YOU TO EVERY OTHER WOMEN. YOU AND I DEFINITELY DESERVE BETTER THEN DR. MUNRO!

Shannon Bennett is amazing! She takes her time explaining things throughly and helped me understand my options. She has built a great rapport with me thus far and I'd recommend to see her. She has a great personality and always welcoming!

Throughout my pregnancy I seen the nurse practitioner the most. I really enjoy how friendly she was and preferred her over Dr Munro. After my scheduled c-section I ended up with some complications. I can't express how much pain I was in, unfortunately I was released when the pain started. I went to the nearest ER on Friday night, where they found nothing. Gave me pain medicine and I scheduled an appointment with the nurse practitioner Monday morning (dr Munro was on vacation).

She was rude. Your doctor is suppose to care and want to fix you when you are crying in her room. All she did was tell me that I am doing to much and need to rest. C-section come with pain (which I know this was my second c-section). This pain wasn't the same. I have had other surgery and did better then most. She told me she didn't feel I needed medicine and sent me on my way in tear.

I hurt so bad I went back to the ER. Where they helped manage my pain and give me a antibiotic to kill the infection that the nurse practitioner wouldn't take the time to treat. When brought up to Dr Munro he told me it wasn't possible that I had an infections. How would he know he didn't treat me? I am telling him how his nurse practitioner didn't take the time to even care. After that visit I swore never to go back to a Doctors office who doesn't care about their patients.
