A Place For Women

Horrible experience. I arrived to my 1045am app. 10 minutes early and was waiting in the waiting area for an hour. I was very anxious during the wait since I had work at 12pm. They finally called me in the room at 1135. I was waiting for Sharon Welsh another half hr. It was 12pm when I walked out of there. It's RIDICULOUS how long these unprofessional people had me waiting.

Nobody told me what the reason for the hold up was. Nobody gave me solutions to this horrible inconvenient. I work 12hr shifts and lost half of MY PAY DAY today wasting my time at this clinic. Very unprofessional. I hope I get my copayment refund, they sure won't pay me for the 6 hrs I lost from my job. This is not the first time I had an inconvenience at this place. Definitely will be looking for another gynecology clinic.

I was referred to Dr. Lipton, and A Place For Women by my primary care physician, and holy cow am I THRILLED that THIS was the practice he sent me to! At 38, I knew I was done with trying to grow my family, but with no kids I was nervous to approach Dr. Lipton regarding a tubal ligation. I have heard horror stories about OB/GYN surgeons requiring the husband's "permission" and things like that, so I was nervous.

I met Dr. Lipton and immediately knew she was going to listen to me, HEAR me, and understand my rationale. Not ONCE did she ask me about anything my husband thought, and only asked me if he knew there were easier options. My decision was for myself, so I was happy to go through with everything. She had her scheduler reach out to me expeditiously, and I was able to get everything set up very easily.

They walked me through everything that needed to be done (having worked in surgery for 15 years, I knew one side of it, but not the patient side). This was my first surgery ever and EVERYONE was fabulous! From Dr. Lipton right on down to the amazing ladies who welcome you in to the lobby at the front desk. You will NOT be disappointed in this woman-centric office at all!

Dr. Lipton is amazing, she is the first and only Dr I've worked with that is willing to listen and actually help. And the staff is always wonderful. If I could give 10 stars I would, and I will 100% recommend a place for women and Dr lipton to anyone who'd ask.

This is the most poorly run dr office that I have ever experienced. I don't normally leave reviews on anything but I feel like there should be a PSA about avoiding this place. The doctors are quite good (especially Dr Lipton and Dr Menard) but everything else is disorganized and poorly managed to such a degree that is almost unbelievable.

I have been waiting over 3 weeks for someone to call me back and schedule an appointment for a procedure. I have called weekly since then to ask for an update on why I haven't heard back. Each time I have called I've been told that the coordinator would get back to me ASAP and I've yet to hear anything. I have never been so frustrated in my life. Today I called after having been assured that someone would call yesterday and was told that the reason it's taking so long is because they were closed for thanksgiving.

They were closed for 2 days. I just don't buy that as an excuse. And I was essentially told I won't hear back from them again this week because the coordinator is out. No guarantee of when I'd even get a call about scheduling let alone an actual procedure date. I've been going to this office for 3 years and had decent experiences thus far minus one person who is no longer at the practice but the lack of response to a simple scheduling ask is ridiculous.

I recently received numerous invoices for an appointment I had in 2018. All the correspondence that A Place For Women sent had me believing that I was being forced to pay over $200 for this appointment from over 3 years ago (mind you the dating they implied on the invoices did not reflect that this was actually a result from an appointment that long ago).

They were extremely aggressive in their wording as if I was some deadbeat that had never paid a balance. After much research on my end and reaching out to my insurance company countless times, we proved where A Place For Women incorrectly billed my insurance - due to their incompetency. After much back and forth and hand holding with A Place For Women, both myself and my insurance company were at a loss as to why they were so reluctant to submit the necessary forms for them to correct their error.

After MONTHS of both my insurance company and myself reaching out trying to get it resolved, Sue (the billing coordinator with A Place For Women) finally said they were going to "write it off". as if it were MY error that caused this. I then asked if I would have an invoice showing the zero balance and Sue acted like that was just TOO much for her to do.

They are quick to send me bills for money I don't owe, but not quick to send me documentation to show it was in error. Weeks after this is finally resolved - I get a call to schedule an appointment. Seriously? After I already told them that I would not be returning due to their bully style of communicating (especially when it was something I didn't owe.) and their lack of professionalism.

I then spoke to the Office Manager today telling her to remove me from their system as I keep getting automated calls to make an appointment. Her nonchalant tone and lack of sincerity or apology for all the hassles they put me through is what lead me to then write this review. I was going to go on with my day and not even bother after all this turmoil and stress they caused.

But her attitude just echoed the uncaring attitude and lack of accountability that Sue shared. I used to recommend this place to anyone that asked, now I wouldn't recommend it to the worst person I know. I honestly wonder how many of their patients received bills like mine and just paid without double checking. This entire situation made me really question their ethics.

I've been a patient here since 2014. I've had nothing but the best care. My regular OBGYN is Dr. Lipton but I have also seen Dr. Delgado and Dr. Cuardos. They are such amazing people and really care. I have had 1 successful pregnancy delivered by them and go for my yearly follow ups. This past year has been rough for me as I have had 3 recurrent losses.

My providers have listened to every single concern I had. They call me back/reply to my messages. They have comforted me and guided me through some of the most difficult and painful moments in my life. I am grateful to be a patient here and to know I have the best providers on my side. Also, I've had great experiences with all the staff here.

I have delivered all 3 of my children with this practice. The care I have received has been hands down the best care out there. As a patient now for 9 years, I highly recommend this practice and all of their doctors. In addition the staff is amazing! Dr Lipton was there for me during all 3 deliveries and my aftercare. I truly appreciate the kindness and support received.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in becoming a first time mom with this practice! Everyone from the front desk to all the doctors and nurses in between were very nice and professional. I ran into complications after giving birth and ended up in the hospital three times, the concern and care I was shown was amazing! Special thanks to Dr Chadee for getting my baby earth side safe, a huge thanks to Drs Lipton, Cuadros and Chadee as well for making sure I didn't stroke out due to Postpartum Preeclampsia! Not sure how anyone received less than favorable care here, should I be blessed to have another baby I would choose this practice ten times over.

I have been seeing Dr Lipton at A Place For Women for 8 years now and she is by far the more caring and comforting doctor I have ever had! She truly makes me feel like a friend and exudes positivity! She takes the time to answer any questions I may have and she explains every step during exams and procedures. I do not have any children yet but when the time comes, I will feel at ease with Dr Lipton, her knowledge and experience.

Sometimes the appointments run a bit late but I know this is due to the quality of care. I know all my questions will be answered and Dr Lipton will take the time necessary to make me feel comfortable with whatever is going on. I have found the office staff to be friendly and caring as well!
