My wife had complications during her high risk pregnancy. She had syncope and had to have hydration therapy. I was absolutely terrified up until one of her last appointments (which due to covid..was the first appointment I could actually come in for.) Dr.Cahill allowed me in because she was unable to walk in with a mask on without feeling faint). When the c section date came I cried worrying about her up until I saw Dr.Cahill who once again made confident that my wife and baby would survive. They did and as confident as he was before it continued after. I left my wife and daughter in his hands

This was the absolute worst experience I've ever had at a doctor's office before. I had to reschedule an appointment and I called weeks prior (in early May) and they told me I couldn't get another one until June 7th. Whatever. I'm pregnant and the baby needs to be seen, right? Wrong. I changed jobs and called my insurance several times. It was still active. On the Friday prior to my Monday appointment it went inactive. I tried calling that morning several times considering my appointment was in the afternoon and nobody ever answers the phone here ever ever EVER. Fine, no big deal I'll just pay

I have always had pleasant experiences here for the past 8 years. Im treated very well here and with respect for my yearly visits as well as present-day with my first pregnancy. Love all the midwives and assistants; the doctors are kind and pleasant to speak with. Ive never had a bad experience here, not even close. Every time I have an appointment I leave happy knowing how much they care. Honestly shocked to see some of these reviews.

I have had only good experiences at this office. The doctors are great! Midwives are awesome and very helpful. Assistants always friendly. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is it can be a little hard to schedule an appointment and get through to someone. But when you do they are friendly and accommodating. I seriously have recommended this office to a few of my friends because they just made my pregnant experience so great!

Went to Dr Culbert for both of my children. hes amazing and really listened to me, the girl at the front window when you check in is also a sweetheart. however, the woman who sits in the little office to the left behind the check out that schedules appointments is EXTREMELY nasty. went to make an appointment and she huffed and puffed at me the entire time. suggested one day that was open and i said that day didnt work for me because i had to work, she got extremely annoyed and nasty with me, rolled her eyes and in the worst tone said "well then they need to call you tomorrow to schedule you because

Staff there are incompetent and office is completely mismanaged. They told my wife to "go down the hall and get some labwork done", and never revealed that the labs "down the hall" are run by an entirely different company and that we would be billed out of network. After 3 months of using them we started getting endless bills from their labs. I have called their office dozens of times to get this resolved and they keep pushing me off saying someone will be reaching out etc. etc.
its been 3 months since I started calling them about these bills, and I have spent hours of my life trying to get

PLEASE do not go here. They are absolutely HORRIBLE. This was my first pregnancy and my first appointment was completely rushed . Never gave me a picture of my first ultrasound. I ended up having a miscarriage and this is where the main issue I had with this office started . They first didnt even want me to come in, and told me they were to busy that day. They finally get me an appointment at the end of the day . I get an ultrasound done and the technician said oh there is no more baby in there, its like it just disappeared WHO SAYS THAT?. After that i saw doctor Culbert who never once
