Absolutely will not be stepping foot in this clinic again. My daughter first visit to a gynecologist was scary enough for her. She came out crying, feeling rushed through her appointment and brushed off. When you make an appointment for an exam to get to the bottom of something that could be serious and then 10 min later sent home with a birth control prescription… seriously?? I went back spoke with someone else and was told I would get a call back. I did and I was spoke over, basically brushed off as well, and ended up hanging up. The nurse sounded more like she wanted to be right then help my daughter. Offering someone 4-5 different forms of birth control rather than running tests is terrible. Do better.

Let me start off by saying that if I could give this review a negative 0 I would. I am actually shaking while I write this because this experience was so traumatic. I have never had a male obgyn and was nervous about having to book with Dr. Zachary Pollack. I had made this very clear with the front desk and had always had great experiences in the past with this clinic so, I put my trust in them and went ahead and booked the appointment. Dr. Pollack came in and did not even introduce himself. I told him what was going on, he left while I undressed, he came back in and examined me for *literally* two minutes and had made up his mind! According to Dr. Pollack I had an STD. EVEN THOUGH I had records in their system showing extensive STD testings that were all negative. Oh, but he didn't take the time to look at his new patients history and did not even know that I had been STD tested even though they were all right there on the computer for him to see... clear as day! within the TWO MINUTE exam he had decided that I had herpes! even though, I have been with my partner for six years and explained the monogamous nature of my relationship ..nope..according to him I had better go home and have a talk with my partner, "maybe he's had it all along and just didn't know it!" "maybe there's something else going on that you don't know about" "but I don't know, I could be wrong".... yes "doctor" you could be wrong and you were wrong and not only that but isn't it inappropriate to be assuming things about your patients personal life instead of discussing the matter at hand? Not only was this doctor convinced of his diagnosis but he did not offer even ONE other option not a SINGLE other clue as to what could be going on just "it's herpes but I could be wrong but I don't think I am so let's do a blood test to be sure" oh BY THE WAY he told me all of this while I was still undressed and there was another nurse just standing there awkwardly in the corner. Couldn't let me have some privacy huh doctor? He told me that the blood tests would be done in three days, OVER A WEEK goes by and still no word. so, HERE I AM, thinking I have a magical STD and my partner cheated on me (never in a million years would I have thought that my partner would cheat on me, never. not before this experience!!!) so FINALLY my tests come back.(I had to call numerous times, they did not bother to update me or my ecare without me having to ask) negative. negative for everything (like my previous tests) instead of offering a clue as to what else it could be.. do you know what the nurse says ??? "it's negative but it could still be positive if you were infected recently" SERIOUSLY? how about I DON'T HAVE AN STD... PERHAPS EXPLORE THAT NOTION?????? so then she proceeds to tell me that I should come back in and have the wound biopsied.... SHOULDN'T THE DOCTOR HAVE DONE THAT IN MY LAST APPOINTMENT??????? why on EARTH would I want to come back to that clinic? so, long story short I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON or what caused this wound on the most sensitive area of a woman's body! Where did Katherine Mclean go?!?!?!? I cannot even put into words how much I loved her, I did not even realize just HOW great of a doctor she was until I was forced to book with this *absolute * moron. I also love that instead of HIM calling me to tell me that my tests were negative and to maybe offer a different solution or idea.. he has his nurse call and just continue to suggest that it still MIGHT be an std! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not see this doctor. do NOT take your precious daughters and sisters and friends here PLEASE.

I am having pre-natal care with Dr. Stephens, and occasionally seeing midwife Michelle Farber. (I need evening appointments, and Dr. Stephens isn't always available. That they have evening appointments at all is amazing!) I love the care that I am receiving. My appointments are never rushed, the advice I get is always calm and balanced, and often when I ask questions they explain to me what the current research is and the reason behind their recommendation and answer. I really feel like I am in excellent hands. I also really love their client portal and all of the information they give you post-appointment.

Dr. Farber is by far my favorite doctor, I had to get a procedure done and was super apprehensive about it but she took the time to answer every one of my questions, and walked me through exactly what to expect during, after, and months following, I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision right away. Booking my appointment was painless and the front desk were friendly and helpful.
