Marilyn M. Honegger, MD

She’s very caring and really takes her time to answer my concerns. I usually get an email response from her within hours. Despite the amount of patients she has, she follows up to my status etc. I’m lucky to have her as my doctor.

Not a fan. Felt her so called «no nonsense» approach got in the way of her listening to my preferences as a patient. Also felt rushed in her visit and if I hadn’t brought up my hernia (which was on my chart) at my 7 month prenatal visit with her she wouldn’t have even looked at or asked about it.

My search after a few months for the perfect doctor is finally over! Dr. Honegger is great! She has a great personality and is very informative! She took her time to explain questions I had about my pregnancy and even answered questions I haven’t even thought of yet. This is my first pregnancy so feeling comfortable with the doctor that will deliver my baby is a must.
She responds via email very quickly and does not beat around the bush if something is important and is approaching a deadline. She breaks down answers to your questions and leaves you feeling at ease about everything.
I highly recommend her!

I have been seeing Dr Honegger for almost 30 years now. EEEEKKK I getting old! Anyway, she took care of me during my pregnancies and delivered my first baby. Now that baby is her patient. For my family, the first and most important quality in a doctor is intelligence. They should know what they are talking about, and they should inform you as a patient. Dr. Honegger knows her stuff, and is very good at explaining any concerns or issues I have ever asked about. She is easy to talk to and I feel completely confident in my care.

Dr. Honegger has been my doctor for many years now. She is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. If you have a question, there is an easy online system where she will give a pretty quick response (within a day). Dr. Honegger is very smart and trust worthy which is what I look for in my doctor. She is very busy, however, so you have to schedule a good amount of time in advance

I called Dr. Honegger’s office for prenatal care after finding out I was pregnant. Apparently they start seeing you at 8 weeks, but she wasn’t available so I scheduled an appointment to meet with the nurse practitioner. At the time I scheduled I was told that unless it was a C-​Section delivery, it may not be Dr. Honegger who delivered me because they have a lot of doctors in their practice, and something like 5 offices, but that it would be someone in their practice.
A couple of weeks later I called the office in the evening because I was afraid I was miscarrying. A doctor called me back and I told her that I had miscarriages in the past, and I was concerned I may be having problems. She told me to call the office first thing in the morning and get in for an ultrasound.
In the morning I called, and the receptionist said she had no openings, but that I could call around to their other offices and see if they had something. I finally got her to agree to look into it, with the response that, with all their doctors and in all their offices there was nothing open except one late that day in Antioch. My other option, she said, was that since I had a PPO I could just call around to other OBGYN’s and see if someone could see me. ARE YOU KIDDING? I went to the ER. Dr. Honegger actually called down to the ER find out my status, which made me feel somewhat better. Eventually I was released with an all okay, follow up with Dr. Honegger if anything gets worse.
The next day my symptoms were much worse and I was in severe pain, so again I call the doctor’s office. And again, they have no openings, but they could get me in on Monday (this was happening on a Thursday). I told her I was in a great deal of pain and needed to be seen, but apparently they were just too busy. Again I went to the ER and this time found out I had miscarried.
Since being treated at the ER I have received three follow up phone calls from doctors and nurses to check on my status. I’ve received one phone call from Dr. Honegger’s office to see if I still wanted to keep the prenatal appointments I had scheduled.
I’ve heard great things about Dr. Honegger, but either due to her office staff or an excessive number of patients, I was not able to get the care I needed from this doctor. Needless to say, I have found someone else.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Honegger for years. She’s smart, funny, and very no-​nonsense. She’s also apparently über-​popular with folks having babies (that is to say, she’s very much an **OB**/gyn, emphasis on the OB). In fact, she delivered my sister’s baby and my sister loved her (good thing since I recommended her.) Point being, sometimes you make an appointment and then she’s been called out of the office because some baby decided to arrive during your appointment time (the nerve!). I’ve seen two other doctors in her practice at times like this, Dr. Foley and Dr. Gerard and they’re both awesome as well. Only reason they don’t rate 5 stars is a nurse practitioner who called me «premenopausal» when I was, like, 40. Yes, every woman is technically premenopausal before it happens, but I had no symptoms or anything that I’d brought up, seemed like she was just young enough that all us old folks were essentially post-​sexual beings to her. But I only saw her once, and she might not even be there anymore, so whatever. Maybe the hot flashes just made me overly sensitive. ..
