Because of the sensitive and important topics that you’ll talk about with your OBGYN, it’s important that you find a provider that you trust fully.
But how is this trust established, and what should you look for in a woman’s care provider? In today’s blog, we take a look at some of the values that our patients say are most important to them. If these values are important to you, consider reaching out to see if we’d be a good fit for your needs!
What Our Patients Love Most About Our Care Team
What do most patients look for when choosing an OBGYN? Here’s what we’ve found to be the most important qualities in an OBGYN.
-
Effective Communication – Being able to explain complex and personal topics to a patient is incredibly important for a woman’s care provider. Oftentimes the issues and challenges that patients are facing can be difficult to comprehend unless they are explained in a direct and clear manner. We make sure that all of our patients fully understand what’s going on before, during and after any exams or tests to help keep your mind at ease.
-
Good Listener – If you check out some of the patient testimonials on this page, you’ll notice that the most common theme from former patients is that they appreciated how well their care provider listened. While your OBGYN will have years of professional experience to lean on, you are the one experiencing symptoms or embarking on the journey to motherhood, and your input is essential to receiving the right type of care. Your provider needs to be a good listener because these appointments need to have a two-way flow of communication. If one side is doing all the talking, you’re not getting the best care possible. Being able to truly listen to the patient is just as important as being able to talk to them about their issues.
-
Experienced – Patients want to know that they are in good hands when it comes to their care, and that oftentimes comes in the form of experience. We have hundreds of years of combined experience on our staff, and many of our doctors are specially trained in areas like high-risk obstetrics or conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome. We have the experience to treat your common or uncommon condition because we’re specifically trained for these moments.
-
Dependable – You want your care team to be there for you when you need it, and we strive to be available as much as possible to our patients. If we can’t answer your questions in person over or over the phone at the moment, we get back to you as soon as possible with the answer. If you need to schedule an appointment or speak to a nurse, we’re available to help or we’ll get back to you within 24 hours so you can get the assistance you need. We want you to be able to depend on us for answers and care.
-
Timeliness – Finally, timeliness is very important to patients, and trust us when we say that it’s important to us. Timeliness is oftentimes one of the hardest things to guarantee on a daily basis because every day presents new challenges. Sometimes patients are late and the schedule gets backed up, while other times an appointment runs long because we want to give every patient the time and attention they deserve. We’re never going to rush a patient out of our office just so we can get to our next appointment, but we know that this can affect timeliness. We pledge to do everything we can to keep appointments on time and keep you up to date if things are running a little behind or we can get you in at an earlier time due to a cancellation, because your time is just as important as ours.
