Services
Physicians for Women is an independent medical practice specializing in all aspects of women's health. Our group provides obstetrics and gynecology (obgyn), midwifery and primary care services to women of all ages. Our physicians, nurse practitioner and midwifes have been providing healthcare to women in Madison, Dane County and the surrounding area for more than 18 years.
Deciding to grow your family is an exciting time. It is important to find the best doctor to care for you and your baby. We understand that finding a doctor that is the right fit takes time and you deserve to have a partner in your healthcare. That thought is what inspired Doctors Melius, Schurr & Cardwell to start Physicians for Women in 2001.
We were one of the first clinics to introduce 4D Ultrasound to the Madison area. We can capture both 3D still photos of the baby and 4-D Ultrasound, the newest ultrasound technology providing more detailed images than ever before. The 4-D Ultrasound machine takes images from a few different angles continuously that produce live motion video with real time movements.
Physicians for Women has always offered the best and most innovative in treatment options. In 2018, we introduced the FemiLift Pixel CO2 Laser; a simple, painless, office-based and non-surgical procedure that assists in the restoration or rejuvenation of atrophic, dry and inelastic vaginal tissues that results in chronic irritation and painful sex.

Christine has been one of my midwives for all of my pregnancies and deliveries. She's always willing to listen and wants to know if I have any concerns. She's caring & she's very honest. She's very motivational at delivery and is there every step of the way. I'm grateful to be under her car again.

This is by far the best practice I have ever been to. I see Angela and she is extremely caring about her patients. Every time I come to the practice, they have always been on time, but also take their time to help you. I recently came in with some pain, and Angela checked for many possibilities for the source, even getting me in for an ultrasound during the same appointment and asking another doctor for some guidance before I left (all done in one hour!).

I feel really happy to know that this practice will help me when I need it. You can easily make appointment requests online or over the phone. Every time I've needed to get in, there have been appointments available from the very next day to within weeks. Their online portal makes it really easy to send and receive messages, request appointments, check previous visits, etc. Thank you Angela and everyone at Physicians for Women!

Had an awesome appointment today with Dr Schurr, as always! All the staff are kind & helpful. I started with the clinic back in 2004 when I was expecting my first child. Unfortunately due to an insurance change, I had to leave 4 years ago. So happy that I am able to be back for the past year and receive excellent care!

I absolutely love Physicians for Women! From before my pregnancy to now, each nurse, tech, NP, provider, etc I've seen have been SO helpful and have made any nerves or fears I've had during my new pregnancy go away and have answered every question I have! They take their time answering questions and are there every step of the way. Highly recommend them!

Appreciate the compassion, kindness and guidance Dr. Newman has provided me with on my fertility journey. I feel like I am her only patient when I see her and she truly cares. It is nice to be at a clinic where your doctor and their staff treat you as more than just another number, highly recommend this clinic!

I'm having my second baby with the midwives of this practice and they are all wonderful. The front staff is very friendly, Stephanie (the ultrasound tech) was very caring and detailed. Christine makes me feel like she has all the time in the world to talk about any and all of my problems. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that I wish they communicated a little more through their 'mychart' and I wish they would mention when they need a urine sample when I schedule my appointment, haha But overall my family and I have been very pleased with this practice.

Great experience with this midwife team! They took the time to get to know me and our family. On delivery day I felt like my preferences were taken seriously and I didn't have to persuade anyone about how and when I wanted to deliver. Big difference compared to my first birth at a different location. I will definitely be back for any future babies!

Theresa Piquette is so good at what she does! I haven't been to a gynecologist in a few years and was a little nervous at first but she made sure I was as comfortable as possible and walked me through it all. I'll forsure be coming back here! Amazing service

First annual gynecologist appointment and I couldn't be more impressed. Best experience overall with a health care provider! Theresa Piquette made me feel very comfortable in an uncomfortable situation! She was attentive, understanding and very informative. From start to finish the staff were very welcoming and nice! Would definitely recommend!

I had such a great experience during my annual physical. Doctor Angie really cared about my health and was extremely thorough in her questions for me. I appreciated the time she took to go over things with me to make sure I understood and made my overall experience very comfortable. Highly recommend!

I was so impressed with Dr. Neuman's patience and kindness during my visit. It was the first time meeting with her and she asked me several questions and took the time to listen to my concerns. I never felt like she was rushing the appointment, she gave me super helpful feedback and always made me feel like she was listening. I am so thankful to be under her care!

I have seen both Dr. Schurr and Nurse Practitioner, Angela Lothe! Both providers were always thorough and kind (Good listeners!). The front desk is very efficient and helpful. I feel like I'm being taken care of very well at Physicians for Women and have chosen them for my primary care. It has been a very good experience. Jennifer Keller

I have only had one appointment so far, but can already tell this is the place for me. My new PCP was warm and welcoming. She listened to my concerns and made me feel like I really mattered to her (as opposed to just another patient in her rotation that day). As someone who typically gets slightly anxious going to the clinic, I've never felt so comforted, safe, or at home while in a doctor's office. Highly recommend!

I've been a patient at Physicians for Women and Phases for well over 10 years. Along the way I've received fantastic, high-quality care from the doctors, physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, lab technicians, and the office staff. They make me feel special and cared for. They are quick to respond to phone calls and messages through the portal. I highly recommend them!

Best team to go through your whole pregnancy! I love all the Midwives! They are very understanding and friendly. They really listen to you and give you the right advice. They make you feel worth and never see you just as a patient number. I am almost 39 weeks pregnant and my experience has being very positive and calm. Very professional team. If I could I would give them 10 stars!

Love Dr. Melius! Went to Melius, Schurr and Cardwell on a recommendation. Because I was an OB patient, they rotate you through all 4 doctors (one of the 4 is on call when you deliver, therefore, you get to meet all of them ahead of time). Very happy with the practice in general, but ended up feeling most comfortable with Dr. Melius. He ended up being the doctor on call the day I delivered and he was great.

In short, he's awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and up to date on everything. He's warm, funny and very personable. He is gentle, calm and reassuring. The man listens! He talks with you, not at you and makes you feel like a person, not just a chart with a name attached. He does tend to run behind, but that is only because he spends a lot of time with each of his patients. I'm OK with waiting for that. I have now seen him for OB care, delivery, postpartum and as a GYN patient and he is great in all areas.
