"Switched to this provider from Pen Bay who I had with my previous pregnancies. The care I have received here has been a dramatic improvement of the previous care I had."
— Birdeye Review"They give the first ultrasounds at 20 weeks. Very dangerous for anyone who may have an ectopic, multiples, or a missed miscarriage. Malpractice lawsuit just waiting to happen."
— Birdeye Review"Extremely deceptive. They also didn’t do anything to help. They just advised taking Tylenol and Advil. That’s not helpful."
