So I'm a first time expecting mother and I just really want people to check out their options because I don't think this is a good place to go. The waiting room is nice but their equipment didn't even work all the way. Also Dr. Marki was very rude and not every welcome or helpful when it came to information. One of my biggest problem is she approved a medicine for me to take that my new OBGYN said I should be avoiding.
So I would really just look at going somewhere else. I had complications after taking that medication but I don't believe it was caused by that. just really makes me wonder. I would play it safe and go somewhere else, I immediately switched healthcare providers.

Jessica Beckmeyer is the most wonderful OB I have ever seen in my life. She takes time to listen to you and find solutions instead of rushing you out the door. I can't say enough great things about this office, I feel extremely lucky to go here. Getting an appointment can take awhile but it's 100% worth it for the quality of care you receive.

I like this place and the staff is really nice! However My experience has been odd as a first time parent. I have only seen my OB twice and I'm 6 months pregnant. Each time I've gone to an appointment I am seen by nurse practitioners and each time it's a different one. I've had minor problems but I have been annoyed that I've had to explain my situation each time. Hopefully things get better!

Reconsider going here! My wife has been put through the ringer. A few years ago we had good experiences, but this year has been terrible. Our experience this year is as follows: Administration: you have to do everything they should be doing. Their communication is poor, inconsistent and will cause you nothing but stress AND This was for something basic - not even a pregnancy! We have amazing insurance and this office made us feel worse than a free clinic.

We had a wonderful experience with Associates in Women's Health, luckily early in our pregnancy we were fortunate to hear about this office and I was able to switch over to here and drop my doctor in the building across the street. The staff are always friendly, efficient and organized. This office is extremely clean and cautious during the pandemic and I always felt safe and comfortable here.
During different times of the pandemic the office policy did change when it came to spouses/partners being able to come in with you, but it was nice that they still tried or allowed your support person to be with you when they could. I had a pleasant experience every visit with Dr. Marki she is so friendly, sweet and always informative and ready to help or answer any questions we had throughout our pregnancy.
Her Medical Assistant Stacy is also so sweet and kind and really friendly, they made me feel welcome and remembered not like it was a chore to deal with just another patient like my previous dr across the street. So thankful for this drs office! Thank you all!

I went here to establish care with a new doctor after getting married and therefore getting new insurance. I have been formally diagnosed with PCOS by not only my previous OB but also my endocrinologist. I was seen by Doctor Blake Lambourne and I will be reporting him to the medical board. The first thing he says to me when walking in the room with a LOT of attitude was "Who diagnosed you with PCOS?
You don't have PCOS. I don't believe anyone who has been given this diagnosis." I explained my symptoms as calmly as I could and he proceeded to continue arguing with me saying I wasn't fat enough to have PCOS (I've lost 20 lbs this last year), I didn't have enough cysts to have PCOS, I couldn't have gotten pregnant with PCOS (It took me 8 months of ACTIVE TRYING as a young 20 year old to get pregnant) and completely ignored my other symptoms (irregular, heavy periods, pain, hair loss on head, hair growth elsewhere, high androgen levels).
I then explained I didn't appreciate his attitude and dismissal of my diagnosis as I was being treated by not just him. To which he RUDELY responded well I don't see any of your labs, who did your labs, I can't find them in this system and we can usually steal them, and they probably did the wrong ones. THEN he started going after other diagnosis I have that have NOTHING to do with his profession at all. I will NOT be returning and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. DOCTORS LIKE HIM ARE THE REASON WOMEN GO WITHOUT THE CARE THEY NEED!

I absolutely love associates in women's health and there entire staff! Throughout my entire pregnancy, they were the kindest, most thorough, compassionate office. Everything was well communicated, completed quickly, and any questions I had were answered without a second thought. Dr. Marki Dunn is such an amazing OB! So compassionate, so thorough, and communicated very clearly. She made my pregnancy and birth an amazing experience! I would 100% recommend this office and Dr. Marki Dunn to anyone looking for there forever OBGYN.

The OB that i saw here was incredibly friendly, nice, and understanding during my first pregnancy. As time progressed later in pregnancy though, appointments were very hard to schedule, And every appointment was at least 30 minutes to an hour behind. If you do choose to be seen here, just expect hard to get appointments, and very long/late wait times!

I was extremely nervous to come in for my IUD consultation after reading the reviews and an experience i had with the office on the phone. BUT Dr. Maria is so sweet and informative that i felt extremely comfortable going through with my IUD choice. She gave me the best three options to move forward with and i couldn't be happier. This is where everything gets bad. THIS IS MY FIRST IUD.
I was given no information on after insertion. When i tried to call after experiencing four days of severe pain that had me doubled over and the women i talked to made fun of me when i called. Laughed at me when i was explaining my pain. I will not be returning. UPDATE: I had my IUD removed by another office because this office would not. I had it removed 8 days after insertion.
It has now been two weeks and i still have pain with tampons and laying on my stomach. Pain during my period is excruciating. This IUD has ruined my body. I was later told during removal, the IUD was so large it was perforating into both side of the uterine wall. My body still does not feel normal.

Absolutely the worst experience with a doctor's office I have ever had. Called to reschedule numerous appointments the day before. Under no circumstances will they allow children so if you have children make sure that you have a babysitter sitting around. Also if you have to cancel, make sure you know 48 hours in advanced or you will have to pay $50 out of pocket.
In addition to this actually getting an appointment is nearly impossible and will likely be with a nurse, 20 to 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment. It is mind blowing that this place is running. Throughout my entire pregnancy process I saw my doctor twice and she did not deliver my baby. I previously was with doctor Atwall who was amazing always on time, was thorough, and with me through the entire pregnancy! Had she not moved to Elk grove I would still go to her for my ob/gyn needs.
