Healthy Futures for Women

Two stars because I have mixed feelings about this place. I had a surgical procedure here and my overall experience during that first visit was 3 stars. Medical assistants were friendly and professional enough (nothing stellar but nothing upsetting either). Office is a bit dingy and old but generally seemed pretty clean. Dr. Hindes did a good job on my procedure but his bedside manner was a bit questionable. When I asked him to prescribe me something other than azithromycin for an antibiotic (I’m allergic to penicillin and its derivatives and azithromycin/​z pack has given me extremely painful abdominal cramps in the past) he made a huge deal about how he wasn’t sure he wanted to do a surgical procedure since he was not convinced that I would take the medication that he prescribed. After a lot of back and forth he agreed to prescribe a different antibiotic but added in a snipe about how I had his cell and could give him a call if I decided that the antibiotic was too expensive (I believe his exact words were something to the effect of «call me if you decide you’d rather hurt in your stomach than your wallet»). A little off putting but I can deal (especially since the antibiotic he prescribed ended up costing me the same $ 10 copay as the z-pack…much adieu about nothing).
The real reason I am inclined towards giving this place 1 star has to do with my follow up appointment. I scheduled my follow up 3 weeks in advance and specifically bent my schedule to accommodate the fact that Dr. Hindes does not come in on Mondays. I put in for my personal day at work and thought we were all good to go. Then I received a call the day before my appointment because they wanted to move me up 30 minutes. Now I know that 30 minutes seems minimal but I am a teacher and had a very important meeting regarding one of my students that I could absolutely not walk out on in good conscience. Unfortunately, the appointment was originally scheduled for a Friday and the following week I was leaving town. When I communicated this, the office staff just kept repeating that they could give me an appointment 30 minutes earlier. When I asked if they could schedule me earlier in the morning (prior to their regular opening– a little «you bend your schedule and I’ll bend mine» if you will) they responded with, and I quote, «come on.» At the end of our conversation, the office staff member with whom I was speaking (Alex) informed me that she would let Dr. Hindes know that I would be moving to a new primary care provider. Then they called me back 10 minutes later to ask if I could come in for the morning. Needless to say I declined.

Please don’t go here I had an abortion here and I wasn’t sedated properly and I felt everything they coverd my mouth cus I was screaming… I’m not kidding… when I asked to hold the nurses hand the doctor told her no but she did it anyway and I passed out from pain just to wake up a min later to a little less pain but side ways on the table over hearing how risk it was… they asked that I don’t come back cus I was liability… they hardly finished.

I thought the staff was very nice and so was Dr. Hindes. He is friendly and easy to talk to. I’m kind of surprised by the other reviews. The office building itself seems pretty old. I would return except it’s pretty far from me.

After reading the rest of these reviews I am pretty shocked by their experiences. I have been seeing Dr. Hindes since 2010 and he is by far one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. He’s super personable, funny and also makes his clients feel very comfortable. I’ve never had a problem with any of the nurses and always received my test results within the time they stated.

We can’t be talking about the safe office??? I’ve been coming to this office for almost 3 ½ years. They Are wonderful pRofeSsional people. I call and bug them a lot and they are never rude, short or negitive. They are ALWAYS happy and eager to help and assist. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Yeah, I have had to wait but that Happens everywhere. There are times that some appointments do Run over, whom ever the perSon treating the client can only try and be as respectful as possible in telling them they have to finish up, but they want client to feel important. It sOunds like all the negative reviews are fRom folks that sticks up their butts and expect health care to be flawless. Nobody is perfect, these folks are human too. Kind, patient, understanding, non judgemental and love what they do. The wonderful folks that work here can’t control the actions of patients so don’t huff and puff and say unjustifiable things when it’s out of their control. Yeah, sometimes a miss coMmunicatIon but hell have any of You missunderstood or miss gave informatIon? I’m blown away at what people are saying. Did you ever have a day at work where you have come accrosed grumpy to a customer? Oh wait your (in reference of the negitive folks) all f – ing perfect.
My life has been greatly enriched by the staff and care from this facility.

Wow! Name badge «office manager» is one of the coldest people I’ve met… Wrong industry ma’am.

Please don’t go to this office they are the most unorganized, unprofessional ,
Uncaring group of people I have ever had to deal with. The doctor Stephen Hinds is like dealing with a child who quickly makes excuses for the lack of follow up
They aparantley don’t have an office manager to follow up on keeping files straight or follow up on test
Kate wiesenborn assistant to doctor seems to be the only person in office trying to complete visits with patience scheduled every fifteen minutes as she stated to me.
I actually had to call to get test results after waiting two weeks.
They only sent half of the paper work to order the tests so only half of the test were taken they didn’t call to find out why the other test didn’t come back.
They have no integrity if they don’t know something instead of saying I will check on it they make something up so they don’t have to get a real answer I’m filing a report with the board to get some one to investigate.

Wonderful, caring staff supporting women’s right to her own body and privacy. We were treated with respect and compassion
