Loch Haven OB/GYN

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Hill. He’s amazing. Very attentive, great bedside manner, explains everything in detail.
I will say I’ve had minor difficulties with his office staff, mostly with delays in getting normal test results (they’ve always called right away with any concerns) or prescription refills. But I’ve NEVER been to a doctor’s office where this is not the case. And working in healthcare, I know it’s not deliberate and that it’s very easy to fall behind. His office staff has always fit me in when I needed an appointment (most recently, they squeezed me in the day before I moved out of town because they knew it would be difficult for me to be seen as a new patient somewhere else.) So they definitely make up for minimal shortcomings with quality patient care.
And I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Hill. He’s worth the extra wait for a refill! You won’t find a better Gyn.

Calling them pathetic is an insult to the adjective «pathetic ». My wife has suffered at their hands a lot. They do not return calls, nurses have no empathy and their response to everything is — go to the ER. The moment you develop any complication in pregnancy, they will throw so many papers at you so fast, it is unbelievable. I would have given negative rating if there was a provision.

Great staff, informative and caring. The time set for the appointments were accurate and didn’t have to sit around and wait past your appointment time. Were had a high risk pregnancy and they coordinated well with the other facilities and doctors to make sure we were well taken care of. (Which consisted of 3 additional specialist within the FH group) The entire Florida Hospital group was amazing for us and extremely happy with the entire pregnancy experience with them.

I would leave zero stars if I could. In an attempt to get a refill on birth control it is still taking over a month, costing me $ 100 each time to fill now. (Which has been twice now when it should be free)
I have left a voicemail — unreturned
My pharmacy has sent 6 requests via fax over the last month– still no response
I have called to follow up each time the fax was sent waiting on average 15 minutes on hold to speak to a nurse– still not complete after I notified them the fax would be coming.
Spoke with a nurse and gave a phone number to call in prescription– she never did
I guess I have to go to the office in person to get things done– unbelievable!!!
Been going here 3 years and this experience will end it. I have never experienced such an unprofessional Doctors office in my life and hope to never to in the future!!! They overcharge on average for all services as well… Will not be returning to this OBGYN save your time and money, they are horrible and unorganized

I had an appointment with Dr. L. Balint on 21 Aug. 15 @10AM. I was impressed with her willingness to share knowledge and her dedication to detail. She advised I should receive the results to my test in about two weeks by mail. She also added if I don’t receive them to contact the offices as «sometimes these things can fall between the cracks.» I began contacting the office 14 Sep (3 calls). Spoke to the appointment staff, left message with the nurse who’s recording states they will return the call in two hours. Called again 21 Sep (1 call), 25 Sep (2 calls) no return call, 01 Oct (2 calls) no return call, 05 Oct (1 call) again spoke to appointment staff (these are the only humans that can be contacted by phone). I explained the issue and asked for the Office Mgr. I was given Ext 1401 — BUT was advised they were not supposed to connect anyone to her. I asked how I could contact anyone at the office. She said I had to leave a message for the nurse (she took my information and transferred me to the nurse) AGAIN NO RETURN CALL! I just want the results to my test I will not be returning to this OB/​GYN Group as the staff are unwilling to make contact.

They are the best! I had an 11:30am appointment today and I was done by 12:01. Dr. Boone makes everything so comfortable and fun too. I think I laugh the whole time I am there. The staff is wonderful and helpful. I forgot my insurance card and the lady up front said «no worries we will pull it offline just bring the card next time you come in». They make everything so easy

I am 33 weeks pregnant and currently see Dr. Boone and Dr. Patil. I have not had the opportunity to meet all if the doctors but from those I have met they are all FANTASTIC!
There is a rarely a wait, the nurses are nice and I never feel rushed.
They are thorough without overwhelming a new Mom which I’ve heard happens at other places.
We look forward to every visit!

I had my first prenatal appointment today and it was such a great experience. I am so happy I will be going through my first pregnancy and delivery with these physicians. I met with Stacey and Dr. Balint today and they were both so nice and informative and they made me feel very comfortable. I had a bad experience with a previous OB and now I feel blessed I have found loch haven OB. I definitely recommend this practice.

I love this office. Everyone here is friendly and you only have to wait 5 minutes or less in the waiting room. Dr. Cacciatore is extremely nice and understanding. I would highly recommend this office.

Mixed experience, I brought my daughter here to be seen by a female OBGYN when she turned 18. Great experience there, she loved her Doctor and the nurses are super nice.
I went (saw another doctor) who was incredibly nice and I had a good experience, although I am not a young woman and honestly I am feeling some changes that are not normal… and no, not menopause or peri your tests have confirmed neither are happening. Considering my extensive family history with certain hormone issues and other things I asked and the answer I got was pretty generic «age, genes, bla bla». I do wish to find someone who will at least run more extensive tests without blowing it off to those factors. Hon, my idea of exercise is not chatting and walking around the park with my friends, it is a brutal bike ride, some heavy weight training and yoga. My diet usually consists of a breakfast of plain not instant oatmeal, a green juice (home made — pure veggies), lunch is a salad and a bowl of legumes, dinner very similar. Snacks? Apples. Sooooooooo… why is it that I can’t lose weight again? Age? Sorry, not the right answer.
Now, that aside we have been very satisfied with our doctors. I do like mine, my doctor is very sweet and professional.
The reason Loch Haven OB/​GYN has me frustrated is the ongoing issue I have with the office. I called a month ago for a chronic issue I have. I needed to see someone immediately, girls you know what I am talking about when I say it feels like battery acid is going through your system right? Well I had that issue… and the answer was «We can’t see you today, go to the Emergency Care». I told her I know exactly what I need (for heavens sake it is a UTI) and she said no, we have to see you to know what bacteria it is. OK, FINE. I had an emergency stash I didn’t want to use but did and took care of it myself.
It has happened again (dehydration causes it in my case and I had been traveling). the answer I got today was «No we don’t take care of that, go to your primary» I told her I moved here recently and don’t have one, they are the only doctors I have been to, and I was told to go to emergency care. Wow. so if I had been told last time that they would refuse to treat me for this, I would have made sure I HAVE a primary in case it happened again. Nice to know they care. Fact is my insurance permits my OBGYN to BE my primary but after this, they certainly won’t be, and I will make sure I don’t go unless absolutely necessary. If the guardians of the gate care so little it really doesn’t matter how much I like the doctor.
Yes, it is a grumpy review. I feel like crap and would rather go somewhere where I felt comfortable, I don’t have time to sit in emergency care or try to navigate the insurance to get a primary.

I have to update my review.
I was trying to find another practice because I’m pregnant again and couldn’t find another one as great as Loch Haven. And I did a lot of research.
I even went to another practice for just one appointment and I missed Loch Haven so much that I had to switch back.
The cleanliness and orderliness at Loch Haven don’t have a match. The doctors, especially Dr. Cacciatore, Crider, Hill and Patil, are top notch.
I would never trust my pregnancy to another practice. The other great thing is that there is always a physician on call 24/​7, so if you have any issue with your pregnancy you can call at any time and a doctor will be there to answer your questions.

I’ve been going to Loch Haven for a year and a half now and the office is just great. I have never had a long wait, usually 5 minutes but today I didn’t even sit down in the waiting room. They take their time to answer questions and their staff is so kind. I highly recommend them.

I was concerned that I wouldn’t find a doctor as good as my previous doctor when I m oved to Orlando. However, I feel like I couldn’t be in better hands with Dr. Patil.

Did not have good experience here. Came there as a recommendation for my pregnancy for a VBAC in Orlando. Every visit they would scare me by going down a list of risks. Many times they pulled the dead baby card. Or said I could die. Who says things like that to a healthy mom during her pregnancy? How many times does a pregnant mom need to hear this? Fear and a successful VBAC are not a good combination. Just had multiple unprofessional moments from the doctors, nurses and nurse manager. They were really bad about not returning my calls. Rarely got words of encouragement. I met with most of the doctors except one. Also felt like most of the nurses were not very happy. The office interior looks like a hospital and very sterile. If you want a vaginal birth or considering a VBAC, don’t go here.

After going to a different obgyn and having them blow me over when i told them something wasnt right, i checked here on Unilocal and saw all of the good reviews so i came to loch haven and saw dr. Crider who was AMAZING! No one else had been able to tell me why i was in so much pain but he took the time to give me a thorough exam and take me IUD out which cured my problems. He sat down and explained things to me in clear english and made me feel like i mattered. Will definately be sticking with this practice! The reviews for these guys dont lie, i highly recommend!

Have gone to Dr. Hill for 10+ years, I have happily referred friends there as needed over the years. The staff is friendly, courteous and informative. PA’s and ARNP’s are great if you are pretty routine and don’t need specialized consults. The nurses are very nice, as well. A+

This is by far the best OBGYN office I have ever used. The staff is polite and efficient, my Doctor always takes time to listen to my concerns, and takes strides to really involve me in my care. I have been trying to concieve for over 3 years, and I only now feel confident that I am with a doctor that will work with me to achieve pregnancy. If you also have fertility issues, please consider Dr. Cacciatore. He is very knowedgable, with an impressive background.

After trying 2 other OB GYN’s offices in Orlando, I finally went there after a friend’s referral.
I LOVE IT! The staff is the best, very organized and the nurses really care.
I met all the Doctors there and they were all very professional and had great bedside manners… I had my baby and Dr Patil did an amazing job delivering my baby!!!

This Practice is the greatest in Orlando. The Doctors and nurses are top notch professionals and the facilities are modern and clean.
I’ve never waited over 20 minutes to be seen.
I was cared for at Loch Haven for my high risk pregnancy. The entire 9 months under their care were excellent. They never overlooked anything and always listened to me and acknowledged my every concern.
Dr. Cacciatore is the most incredible Doctor I have ever met.
Thank you Loch Haven Ob Gyn!

Hopefully any women reading this review will find it useful!
Being a girl and new to the area, I was forced to find a new «female» doctor. A friend of mine suggested visiting this group of doctors and I’m very happy with the choice. I was able to get an appointment quickly which isn’t the norm with this type of practice, I didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes to actually see the doctor – and my appointment was at the very end of the day! This group is linked to the Florida Hospital system and located in the College Park neighborhood just off of Princeton. There are 8 physicians taking patients and they are only open Monday through Friday from 8 am until 4:30pm.
