Associated Physicians

I have been a patient of Dr. Berghahn’s for about 3 years now. My Obstetrics history is quite lengthy, having experienced five miscarriages prior to the birth of our miracle baby and one miscarriage after. After transferring my OB care to Dr. Berghahn after my second miscarriage I immediately noticed a difference from the previous practice. She really took the time to get to know both me and my husband, talk about my history, and come up with a plan for the future. She was supportive of me seeing specialists when it became clear there was something more complex going on and was always willing to work with my other doctors to ensure I was getting what I needed for a healthy pregnancy. I will never forget after my third loss the voicemail Dr. Berghahn left for me. She told me about an article she had just read and how the statistics for a successful pregnancy were almost exactly the same for me as it would be for someone who had never had a loss. It meant so much to me that she would take the time to call me just to reassure and encourage me.
I am now the mother of a thriving 6 month old baby girl and was especially lucky that Dr. Berghahn was the doctor on call the night I gave birth. It seemed so fitting, She had been with us from the start and I am so thankful she got to experience our happy ending with us too.
I would highly recommend Dr. Berghahn or any of the providers at Associated Physcians. I have never experienced such a high level of care for me, the patient, as I have at AP.

We are very fortunate to see our doctors at Associated Physicians. We’ve seen pediatrics, OB/​GYN and Internal Medicine doctors and we feel well taken care of. They treat us with respect and take the time to really know our family. We don’t feel rushed and they are very attentive and accommodating. I would highly recommend Associated Physicians!

This clinic really is quite excellent. Unfortunately, health concerns have caused me to be a more frequent visitor lately, thus I have more experience. I have nothing bad to say — the appointment backlog isn’t bad, I never sit in the waiting room to long, my doctor listens well and never seems rushed, and they’re quite willing to discuss things by phone when appropriate, saving me unnecessary appointments and co-​pays.

From the minute I walk into the clinic, I feel so welcomed… every, single time! It’s really not a cliché’ that they care … they show that they do. At my former physician’s office, he would take notes for quite a while before addressing why I had made the appointment. Thank goodness that hasn’t been the case here — they get right into why I’m there to see them. Highly recommend them!

I had both my sons through doctors here. Neither births were positive experiences although my sons are happy and healthy. Pediatricians upstairs are grand. Obgyn, not so much.

I have been a patient at AP for the last couple years. When I got pregnant I was referred here from UHS and could not have been happier with my experience. (I had moved here from Milwaukee and hadn’t gotten hooked up with a new OBGYN yet). My OB was Dr. Weidel, but I met all five doctors who had been in that practice, and Dr. Dickmeyer delivered my son.
However, about a year ago, four of the five OBs from this practice left AP to start their own women’s health clinic, Madison Women’s Health. Now they have four new OB-​GYNs at AP, and presumably new nurses, PAs too. I followed Dr. Weidel to MWH and I would really strongly recommend this new practice. It is very nice and the doctors are great. They are concerned about comprehensive women’s health so there’s more emphasis on overall health and well-​being, not just OBGYN-​related sort of things.
Since my son was born he has seen Dr. Heather Rainwater in the peds department at AP and we have also been very happy with everything in that area. The nurses are really nice, they are pretty quick with everything, and the doctors seem to enjoy their work.

I am in my third trimester, and I have loved my experience with Dr. Barbara Burns at Associated Physicians. She and the nursing staff have been helpful with questions/​concerns and reassuring throughout my entire pregnancy. The staff has never been judgmental of my weight gain, decisions about my pregnancy care, or my birth plan. I would recommend Dr. Burns and Associated Physicians to anyone looking for an Ob/​Gyn in Madison.

We’ve had so many red flags after 6 months of prenatal care we’re switching to another group before we give birth and something REALLY wrong occurs.
The nurses are RUDE — I’ve interacted with 6 of them, four were just awful! One nurse (in her mid-​50s) actually forgot to turn the fetal heart rate monitor on and said, «That’s funny, I don’t hear a thing». OMG, what moron! I had to tell her to turn on the machine.
Another nurse recently told me I’ve gained too much weight — I’ve gained 23 lbs and I’m 31 weeks pregnant! ??? She later came back and indicated she was incorrect, but why would she say that???
Our OB is nice, but she’s transferring out of the group soon.
There seems to be a lot of drama, I really DO NOT recommend going there.
