Bellingham Obstetric & Gynecologic Associates

Dr. Lisa Kaepernick used a morcellator device to perform my hysterectomy. This since has been shown to be very dangerous and has been removed from the market. It was not explained to me that this could create lymph damage causing my legs to swell. Luckily I did not have the catastrophic results that others have had where use of this device has spread cancer. I would not recommend Dr. Kaeperick.

My experience at this clinic has been great! There are 5 doctors that work here and all of them are knowledgable and compassionate. I wasn’t sure at first if I’d like seeing more than one doctor but it’s worked really well. Seems like it’s easier to get an appointment because there’s more flexibility with 5 doctors.
The office is large, clean, and has new equipment. They have two full ultrasound suites so you don’t need to leave to go elsewhere for ultrasounds, which is super convenient.

As an IVF patient pregnant with a high risk pregnancy the level of care for a patient going through an infertility treatment was completely inaccessible. Going through losing one twin in the first trimester, several ER visits, hematoma and high risk diagnosis it is appalling at the complete disregard for care.
The reception staff was rude and coldly express they are «Not accepting new patients for July.» Subsequently she blamed this on the doctors.
Its incredible that the office turn down insured patients based on on their due dates when their website states nothing in regard to limitations on maternity care based upon due date.
UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL in every way. While the doctor’s care is graded well on sites, the ability to see those doctors is impossible.
Absolutely appalled at the lack of compassion for my high risk pregnancy.

I started to miscarry and these guys told me they couldn’t see me for two weeks. (Even though I had a history of needing progesterone during a pregnancy and since I was experiencing sudden heavy bleeding.) They still would not fit me into their busy schedule for TWO weeks.
Thank goodness I went to my General Practitioner who prescribed progesterone suppositories and the bleeding stopped almost immediately. Needless to say, I was so angry that this practice refused to see me in a moment of desperation, that I delivered my baby in Everett to avoid these doctors altogether. The doctors in Everett were amazing.
I just felt that in an urgent situation Bellingham OBGYN was not willing to help.

All friendly and knowledgeable. However it’s comprised of 5 doctors that work as a «team» so you rarely see the same Dr. twice in a row. So unfortunately you never create that «bond» with your OB that will be delivering your baby, you end up repeating yourself at almost every Dr. appt., and if you don’t like one of the Dr’s or nurses you may end up having to let them deliver your baby if they are the one on call. I got lucky and like them all.
I’ll continue to use them for my Gyn, however If we decide to have any more babies I’ll be looking for a smaller more personalized office.
