Center For Life of Providence Hospital

STAY AWAY!
I recently made an appointment at this center thinking i would cut down on the wait time at my other OB/GYN’s office. I was WAY WRONG!
First, after making my appointment first thing in the morning, I had to wait 10mins before I could even sign in. Then I had to fill out their papers and wait some more. Finally after another 15mins, a nurse/​assistant came to get me to answer a slew of questions. Then I waited a bit more and was brought in to a room, asked to change, wait some more and another woman, student in training, came in to ask more questions (at least ½ of which I had already answered). Finally 1h05min later the Doctor comes in for the exam. She asks why I was there (like what the hell, for my check up and prescription renewal — which is what I told them when I made the appointment). She then smiles and says she is happy to do the pap smear but cannot fill birth control prescriptions as they are a catholic doctor’s group!!! I was livid! No one said a word about that when I made the appointment and they are located in the hospital not in a church. Anyway, total waste of my time as my insurance doesn’t cover 2 annual visits and I certainly didn’t want to have her check me out and then go to another doctor and pay for the visit just to get the prescription refilled.
Long story short, bad communication, unprofessional services and really more of an extension of the church of God rather than a medical facility.
If you are a devout Catholic, practice birth control through abstinence, then this may be a perfectly acceptable doctor’s office. be warned though a 5mins visit will take you at least 1h45mins.
