Common complaints

Reports of difficult scheduling, communication issues, and negative experiences with bedside manner or medical procedures at some large local health organizations.

"This was the best experience I've had in a doctors office. I wasn't sure what to expect from a mobile gynecology clinic but I was instantly comfortable the team here made me feel so at ease."

— Patient review of FemForward Health

"My Dr answered additional questions related to my health (not GYN related) that I really appreciated. She clarified information from a specialist that I had previously seen. I never feel rushed with my appointments."

— Patient review of Dr. Carrie Frederick, WHA

"Now they were TERRIBLE! And if you go to Kaiser, well good luck to you and prayers you don’t end up in a morgue with your baby."
