Women Partners in Health

I've never been pregnant, so I cannot speak to their abilities in that area. I have been very pleased with them taking care of my annual check ups. The office is very well organized; all of the staff I have seen have been very nice. Dr. Oliver really seems to listen to all of my concerns. The only time I've had to wait for very long was when Dr. Oliver was delivering a baby and they had a nurse practitioner that was willing to see me if I wasn't willing to wait.

I started going to WPIH two years ago after trying to get pregnant for a year and a half with no luck. Although I had to wait about a month ...

I went to Dr. Oliver for the first time about 3 years ago for a yearly. The next year, I went to her for pregnancy care. She took the best care of me when we did get pregnant, and was amazing during delivery. She really cares about patients, and so do the others. I have seen a couple different doctors here. They are all very nice. The wait time is sometimes long, but it doesn't bother me. It is an OB/GYN office, they deliver babies. I wanted my doctor for my delivery, so I understand and can wait a little longer. Both of my sisters also went to WPIH for OB care. Would recommend them to anyone!

I always believed if you treat people nicely, most of the time they will treat you back nicely. May be this is why some other patients have had problems and I have not. But, this is my story: I have many health issues and another doctor of mine recommended that I see Dr Swenson. I had not been check for almost 3 years, because I have had many bad experiences before and did not want to go to Ob/Gyn. But Dr. Swenson office took me in within 2 weeks. All the ladies at the front desk were sweet and made me feel relaxed. Dr. Swenson was GREAT. She was on time, she did a thorough check-up, talked a good while with me about my medical history, my questions and concerns, and scheduled a follow up biopsy visit for some issues she had discovered. After the biopsy, I kept having pain, I called but her schedule was full, but the nurse herself talked to Dr. Swenson and Dr Swenson told me to come in next morning at 8am. I did not have to wait one second when I walked in and they took me back righ... Read more

Dr. Nash has been my OB for the last three years, and has provided outstanding care throughout that entire time. She is attentive, concerned about her patients' needs and concerns, and extremely knowledgeable. She helped me through a very difficult pregnancy and was sincerely concerned about me, my family, and our overall wellbeing the entire pregnancy (and beyond.) Her nurse can be a bit abrasive, but is knowledgeable. I usually just waited to discuss my specific concerns with Dr. Nash, which worked fine. During my labor, Dr. Nash checked on me frequently, and spent quite a bit of time with us at each visit. She also stayed with us for an hour after our daughter was born to ensure that we did not have additional complications. When faced with complex situations , Dr. Nash is willing to research alternatives, best practices, and discuss situations with her partners in order to provide the best patient care possible. She has outstanding bedside manner, and I often left her office think... Read more

If you have irregular periods this is not the place for you. WPIH takes a really regular approach to this issue. I was insulted by the nurse who suggested I might have an eating disorder and met with resistance with every phone call and concern. I love nurses, my mother is a nurse and worked as a nurse advocate for years. So, I am typically not a nurse basher, but Dr. Nash's nurse is just awful. She is mean and insensitive. I switched doctors and am so much happier now. They've taken every concern seriously. Even when I required an endometrial biopsy and screamed at the top of my lungs, every person in Dr. Akin's office treated me with the utmost care and concern for my emotional as well as physical well being. I am young, and I realize being young comes along with certain bias at the OBGYN. The assumption is because you are young and thin, therefore you are healthy. This is not always the case. Given my particular situation, I require extra attention. This attention was not ever avai... Read more

I see Dr. Swenson at this practice and she has been nothing but kind, concerned, prompt, and she listens to me. When I wanted natural remedies, she recommended them. She saw me for my annual this year even though I was 20 minutes late and she was out the door to a meeting. She always asks how everything is and offers good solutions for even minor issues. I will definitely use herin the future if I decide to have a child without a single worry. Compared to other nightmarish experiences with other ob/gyns it is such a relief to know that I have found a doctor I can rely on and trust.

Did not feel cared for at all. I made special provisions to find a female GYN and one in-network. I waited a long time for my appointment. And by waiting I mean as I was undressed in the exam room, waiting for at least 45 minutes. The exam was brief, which is good. And then it was off with the doctor and I was told that the nurse would schedule me for an injection. The nurse was not present during the exam, something they are supposed to be present for. I paid my co pay and then left. THe nurse never scheduled the appointment which I found out when I called to confirm. I thought it odd but I thought that they would in the end take care of me.But when my insurance found a loop hole and refused payment for the simple annual, I was told that there wasn't anything they could do. I have worked in doctor's offices and all they would have had to do was to re-code the insurance filing or at least make an effort to. I had lost my job recently after that incident and they gave me l... Read more

I have been a patient to this parctice since 1998. I am afraid of change but after what I have been through in the last two months I am more than ready for a change. I had a miscarriage during spring break and not my first, it's my fourth. most physically , mentally and emotionally painful one ever... It has taken a huge toll on me as well as my marriage. My husband had to sit in the car with our two girls as I was told by my doctor that yet again I had miscarried after several rounds of bloodwork and ultrasounds. It is what they call a missed miscarriage and what that means is that the embyo does mot make it but the sac continues to grow. This is my second of this type of miscarriage. So as she tells me this I completely lose it and she tells me I can stey in the room until I am ready to come out. Not even a moment later the RN knocks on the door and tells me she needed to schedule my next appt. So I am standing in the hallway trying not to lose it as she is scheduling my appt, the...

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Yium is. No matter how busy she is, she takes interest in everything you have to say and answeres questions and concerns thoroughly. I've never had difficulty getting an appointment and never had the wait time a couple of other reviews have mentioned. They took excellent care of me throughout the pregnancy. She is sweet, smart, and caring.

I can't be more complimentary about the quality of care, attention to detail, and interpersonal skills at Women Partners in Health. Specifically, I have had excellent care from Dr. Felicia Nash both for routine annual gynecological care and for obstetrical care. The review about having a long wait is the product of what I would deem an atypical visit. Perhaps there was an emergency during that person's visit resulting in the delay and the apparent distraction of Dr. Nash, but this is definitely not my experience. At least 95% of the time I would say I have been called back at least a few minutes BEFORE my appointment time. I have also always found Dr. Nash willing to take the time and effort to discuss all aspects of my medical treatment with me and consult with other doctors and records as necessary. Specifically during her care during my pregnancy, I could not have been happier with her willingness to listen to me, explain things to me, and treat me as an individual. An are... Read more

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nash. I have seen really bad dr.'s in the past that made me not ever want to go the the gyno again. After an initial consultation with Dr. Nash and I expressed my fears, she put me at ease and has been very nurturing during my first pregnancy. She has not pushed any procedures and has explained everything that she is doing during an exam etc. I have had to wait for her a few times, but I figure if it was me that was taking up her time (like if I was in labor) then I would want her to not be rushed. Over all she has changed my feelings about going to the gyno, I have referred 4 or 5 women to her and will continue to. She is young and positive and I feel those are important to me... she doesn't seem to be high strung at all and will be a calming presence when I go into labor. Also, I am planning a natural birth and she is completely on board with me.

I had an appointment October 24, 2007 with Dr. Felicia Nash M.D. I got there according to the time and waited 30 minutes in the lounge. Once called back the Doctors Nurse did the weight, and asked for a urinalysis and some medical history. Then I waited in the Doctor's office for another 20 minutes for a consultation. Finally!!!, The Doctor arrives! Upon first initial meeting she appeared very pleasant. Then once we got into the nitty gritty of things I was given an attitude. This Dr. Nash was so rude, inconsiderate and did not have a care in the world for my time or needs. She asked about my medical history, if we were going to have children and medications. The medications I am (which being pregnant can be taken) on have been prescribed for the last ten years and this beast wants to alter them because there is not enough data out there on this particular med. Excuse me!! There is a ton! Do your homework!! Secondly, if you are going into an office for an examine you would th... Read more

Only women work there (as far as I can tell) which is really nice, especially for girls/women going to the GYN for the first time. They helped me feel a lot more comfortable and I feel that I can really trust my doctor there.

I have no doubt that the doctors practicing at this establishment are well-educated and up to date with the latest in women's health care; however, I have never had such an incovenient and frustrating first and second experience at a doctor's office. The first appointment began with an hour long wait in the waiting room past my scheduled appointment time. Upon returning for a follow-up visit, a nurse informed me that my doctor had an emergency and needed to leave, would probably return in about a week, and that I would have to reschedule. I was able to contact the doctor's nurse to obtain test results, and she set me up with an appointment a month out to see a different doctor. To my amazement, I was called and told the appointment I had set up was not available. I would have to reschedule AGAIN! I understand occasional scheduling conflicts, especially with doctors who practice obstetrics, but after an hour long wait and two times of being rescheduled, I will definitely not return...

They do not give you the information that you need in time of crisis. I would not recomend to anyone, especially woman that want a natural childbirth experience. If you want more information you can e-mail me at freecycle_queen@yahoo. I have an interesting story and I would be happy to tell you why I wouldn't go back.

For all your female health concerns, gynecological problems, routine physicals. Exams for breast, heart, thyroid, abdominal and pelvic offered.

I've been coming here for 4 years now for my yearly check-ups and have never had a problem. All of the staff are very friendly and make you feel at ease. The longest I've ever had to wait to see the doctor has been 15 minutes - which I hear is pretty normal at a gynecologist office. I've referred all my girl friends and will continue to do so!

These doctors might not be so bad if they didn't make you wait so long. To me it shows disrespect for the patient to consistently have to wait over an hour for each appointment. I can understand an occassional emergency, but this is EVERY time and it is often over an hour. There are too many good doctors in Austin to waste your time waiting around for one group that is mediocre. Go across the street to Austin Area Ob/Gyn! They are real doctors there! Much nicer!
