When I arrived at the office there was a line out the door, which is the first time I have seen a line for a doctors office. The receptionist said the doctor was 45 min behind due to an earlier delivery and made this seem quite common. That was so odd to me because every other practice Ive been to has a doctor on call for deliveries, not seeing patients that day so there is no delay. The waiting room was large and packed. It was overwhelming and just felt a bit like a factory. The long reception line never went down, which also felt odd. After waiting a while I got up to use the restroom

Dr. Seeker and his team are amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel at home and all of your needs are met. The compassion they for their patients is phenomenal. Having come from a horrible experience with trying to get pregnant, he did an amazing job of changing that around and giving me an amazing journey to continue my path of my dream of getting pregnant. His knowledge is out of this world!!! Yes, wait times can be long, but so worth it as he and his team give you their 100% attention from beginning to end. You are not passed along as a number, but treated as a patient.

After going through many OB-GYN's I found Dr. Landherr's information with great reviews and thought I would visit. She was thorough, attentive, engaging, nice and answered all my questions. As well, her lab is in the same office and they got me through 3 major labs within a couple hours with super nice people that almost made it enjoyable considering what I had to get done! I'm happy I found her.
