What to do before and after gynecological surgery
In this section we provide general guidelines for preoperative and postoperative care. Please take a few minutes to make yourself familiar with the information and contact your provider’s office with your questions or concerns.Preoperative Preparations for Hospital Surgery: How to Improve the Outcome of Your Surgery
Preoperative preparation is designed to improve the outcome of your surgery, decrease your risk for complications, and make your surgery as safe and effective as possible.In general, no food or drink for at least eight hours before your surgery in the hospital. Most instructions indicate that nothing is to be taken by mouth after midnight, on the night before the procedure. It may seem harsh, not to be able to have a sip of water, but this precaution minimizes the risk for complications such as vomiting during surgery.
If you have diabetes or other pre-existing medical conditions, especially to do with your heart or lungs, let your doctor know and there may be specific instructions on what you should do the day of surgery.
Discontinuing prescription and over-the-counter medications that "thin" the blood, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatories, is necessary prior to surgery. Whether a drug is held or administered is based on the patient's medical condition, the type of drug, and the scheduled surgical procedure. Patients who take prescription medications on a regular basis must discuss this with the surgeon.
If a pain reliever is needed in the week prior to surgery, acetaminophen is recommended over aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, to reduce the risk for heavy bleeding during surgery. If you regularly take any herbal supplement, it may need to be discontinued before surgery.
In many cases, patients are advised to quit smoking 2 to 6 weeks before surgery. Smoking may cause breathing problems during surgery and has been shown to delay healing.
In some cases, a laxative or enema is indicated to empty the bowels before surgery.
If you have any unexpected medical problems before your scheduled surgery, such as a fever, cold, cough or flu please contact the office immediately as your surgery may have to be rescheduled.
General Postoperative Care Instructions:
The goal of postoperative care is to ensure that patients have good outcomes after surgical procedures. A good outcome includes recovery without complications and adequate pain management. Another objective of postoperative care is to assist patients in taking responsibility for regaining optimum health.
After surgery in the hospital
- If you have had general anesthetic, you may have a sore throat for the first 24 hours due to the airway placed in your windpipe. You may also experience dizziness, drowsiness or lightheadedness after anesthesia or sedation.
Incision Care
- If you leave the hospital with bandages over your incision(s) — these bandages can be removed the next day. If you have steristrips (adhesive strips) over your incision(s), they can be removed 7 to 10 days after surgery. If the strips get dog-eared, clip the edges with scissors. Try to keep your incision(s) clean and dry. You may shower 24 hours after surgery. If you get the incision(s) wet, then pat it/them dry. A slight to moderate vaginal flow may be normal for 2-5 days.
- If you have staples in your incision, make an appointment to have them removed within 7 days following your surgery or as directed by your physician. If your stitches are underneath the skin, they will dissolve on their own; you may see a knot at the end and if it is still there at your followup appointment, your doctor will pull it out for you.
Diet
You may return to a normal diet as quickly as you are comfortable doing so. If nauseated, start slowly with clear liquids (jello, tea, broth) and advance gradually to more solid foods.
Activity / Bathing / Driving
- In the first 24 hours after your surgery: do not drive or operate power equipment and do not engage in activities that require coordination for the ability to respond quickly.
- You may walk, ride in a car, climb stairs after your surgery.
- Rest the first day home. You may resume light activity the next day. You may feel weak or tired for a few days after your surgery. Increase your activity as tolerated. Do not do any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for a week or two if you had a laparoscopy; for 4-12 weeks if you had a hysterectomy or prolapse surgery (as directed by your surgeon). There are no restrictions on activity after a D&C or ablation.
- You may drive when you can control the car fully and are not taking any narcotic pain medication. Please abstain from sexual intercourse until your two followup appointment where further activity instructions will be given. No tub baths, hot tubs or swimming until you see your doctor for your 2-3 week postoperative check. Showers are okay. Activity, such as walking, can help bowel function return to normal and decreases chance of postoperative blood clots.
- Avoid tampon use until you see your doctor for your 2-3 week postoperative visit. No douching.
- You may return to work when you are released to do so by your surgeon.
If you had a hysterectomy: Full recovery can take from 4 to 8 weeks for open abdominal hysterectomy, and from 1 to 2 weeks for vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies. During this time, patients should get plenty of rest. Also avoid heavy lifting, tub baths, and intercourse for a full 6 weeks. Depending on the type of procedure used and on the patient's rate of recovery, light chores, some driving, and even returning to work during this period of time may be possible.
Pain Medication
- You will usually be given a prescription for a narcotic pain medication (such as Percocet or Vicodin). You may use this if necessary, however, narcotics are constipating and may make your bowel movements more painful. No driving or drinking alcoholic beverages while taking pain medications.
- Options for non-constipating pain medications include products that include Ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetamininophen).
Preventing and Treating Constipation
- Include fiber in your diet (fresh fruits and vegetables and/or fiber supplements such as Metamucil or Citrucel). Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water each day. Avoid foods that cause you to have gas for upset stomach. Increase activity as tolerated - activity helps bowel function return to normal.
- Take stool softeners as necessary. You may consider using a stool softener (such as Colace) up to 3 times each day if you are taking a narcotic pain medication and/or feel you are constipated. If you have not had a bowel movement within two to three days following your surgery, you may take over-the-counter Milk of Magnesia or Senokot over the counter as directed on the packaging. If you still do not have a bowel movement within 4 days, please call our office.
Preventing and Treating Gas Pains
- Increase activity as tolerated - activity helps bowel function return to normal. Avoid gas-forming foods, such as broccoli, cabbage, beans, salads, sweet potatoes. If gas pain persists, you may take over-the-counter Simethicone (Mylicon, Gas-X, Maalox-Gas, Mylanta-Gas)
Pain Medication
- You will be given a prescription for a narcotic pain medication (usually Percocet or Dilaudid). You may use this if necessary, however, narcotics are constipating and may make your bowel movements more painful. Options for non-constipating pain medications include products that include Ibuprofen or Tylenol.
Follow-Up Appointment
- You should have a follow-up appointment at our office within 2-4 weeks following your surgery. If you don't already have that appointment, please call us at (503) 229-7353 to make it.
Postoperative Care Instructions #1: Colposcopy | LEEP | Cryotherapy
- It is normal to have some mild cramping after your procedure. You may take medications such as ibuprofen (eg Advil — up to 600mg every 6 hours) and/or acetaminophen (eg. Tylenol - take as directed on the bottle) to help reduce the discomfort from cramping.
- You will have some vaginal spotting or bleeding after your procedure. If you had a LEEP you may have a dark coffee grind discharge after that and may pass some tissue in 1-2 weeks. If you had cryotherapy, you may will most likely have a clear vaginal discharge for 4-6 weeks (and may well not have any bleeding or spotting).
- If you had colposcopy and a biopsy, then you are advised to abstain from intercourse, tampon use, baths, and swimming for 1 week. If you had a LEEP or cryotherapy, then you are advised to abstain from intercourse, tampon use, bath, and swimming for 4 weeks. After a LEEP, avoid vigorous physical activity (heavy lifting, etc) for 48 to 72 hours.
- You should have a followup visit in 2 to 4 weeks after your LEEP or cryotherapy (unless otherwise instructed by your doctor). Your followup care after a colposcopy alone will depend on the results from the colposcopy and any biopsies done that day - your physician will call you with the results of biopsies as soon as they are available and review with you whether further action or surveillance is needed (if you have not heard from the office within 2 weeks, please call the office).
Postoperative Care Instructions #2: D&C | Endometrial Ablation | Essure
- You may experience mild to moderate cramping (like menstrual cramps) and pinkish to red vaginal bleeding. This may last approximately 2 to 3 weeks. You may pain medications prescribed by your doctor as needed. In addition you may use ibuprofen (eg. Advil — 600mg up to every 6 hours).
- Use pads for any bleeding. No tampons nor sexual activity for 2 to 3 weeks post procedure.
- Please make sure you continue to use effective birth control.
- Make a followup appointment in the office in 2 to 4 weeks.
Postoperative Care Instructions #3: Hysterectomy
- Full recovery can take from 4 to 8 weeks for open abdominal hysterectomy, and from 1 to 2 weeks for vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies. During this time, patients should get plenty of rest.
- Avoid heavy lifting, tub baths, and intercourse for a full 6 weeks.
- Depending on the type of procedure used and on the patient's rate of recovery, light chores, some driving, and even returning to work during this period of time may be possible.

My experience as a first time patient was excellent. I felt listened to and was impressed with how comfortable I felt despite annual exams not really being the funnest things to do in general. Also i didn't have to wait long to get in to my appointment after checking in.
Dr. Edward's made me feel extremely comfortable and explained all my options for treatment. She also validated my concerns immediately and believed what I said.
This was my first visit to OBGYN in 40 years!!! I was long overdue.I'm currently 64 finally taking the time for ME!
I really like Dr Jensen as my Gyn doctor.
I would've liked a printed handout explaining my IUD - how it works, what to expect afterwards, and follow up instructions mentioned verbally during the appointment.
Dr. Voge and her team are exceptional. I couldn't ask for better care or a better experience. I truly feel lucky to have such an intelligent and capable provider caring for me. Dr. Voge's front desk staff are welcoming and kind, and the MA/RNs are very nice and efficient. You can tell that everyone there cares about the work they are doing. Thank you!
Excellent experience. The doctor listened to me and showed interest in me and what I had to say.
Dr Hoffman is the best. He takes his time asks and answers questions and I leave there feeling like I can't wait to see him again next year for my annual. Always fun, polite and has new information to share. Best bedside manner I have experienced with Legacy.
Dr. Abby and her MA are the very best.
Dr Jensen is an excellent doctor; excellent bed-side manner, takes time to listen and answer all my questions (for which I had quite a few).
Dr. Furukawa is outstanding!
Dr. Edwards was very kind and gracious. She answered all my questions and was very sympathetic to my situation. She was gentle and didn't seem rushed.
I found Dr. Edwards extremely helpful. She definitely took away some of my fears about my condition. She was just an overall nice and helpful person!
I was impressed with Dr. Edwards and her staff.
The moment from when I first called to set up as a pregnant new patient I have been treated so well and so quickly that me and my husband have switched our primary care to legacy and our baby will be with a legacy pediatrician.
This has been one of the most prompt and efficient clinic and provider I have seen. The overall experience has been extremely positive. I have not come away with a knot in my stomach or wondering what is next. I felt encouraged and looking forward to the next appointment. I feel optimistic that I'm going to take back control of my health and care. Dr. Edward's is even handling the referral to another specialist. Thank you for giving me back some control of my health Dr Edward's.
Very professional
I left feeling like she understood what was happening to me and very thankful
I am pleased beyond comparison. Dr. Voge and everyone else was extremely attentive and caring. I am very grateful. Thank you.
The Doctor was great.
I always feel like I'm being listened to with Dr.Hoffmann. Everyone is so nice and helpful.
Very knowledgeable and insightful. She had great rapport and gave information in great detail. She gave multiple options and solutions to my problem. I have follow-up to further explore. She is an asset to her profession.
Dr. Furukawa is so incredibly smart. She always explains risks and benefits to the patient and helps them to make a decision together. She respects my opinions and wishes. She is kind and generous with her time. I'm so lucky to have her through my deliveries, miscarriage, and other health care needs.
From the moment I stepped in the office, the assistant that took me back, my doctor visit and check out process was authenticity friendly, professional and caring. This is a fabulous practice. Thank you to the entire staff!
Dr. Edwards was thorough, thoughtful, and explained to me what a previous provider hadn't, and made me feel like I had more control over my medical care and body than previous providers. I am looking forward to future care with her.
I had a prior bad experience with gynecology and I was nervous. She listened to my needs, explained everything in depth, and gave me a positive experience where next time I have this done I won't be so scared. I hope I'm the future I am able to be in her care if I need this procedure done again.
Dr. Scoot is a excellent O.B . I highly recommend his services.
Dr. Van Houten took the time to discuss several things with me and I never felt rushed. She is knowledgeable and efficient and I think she's a fantastic provider.
My doctor Hoffman was busy taking care of an emergency patient. His MA asked if I'd like to see Dr. Voge to avoid the waiting period. I'd highly recommend Dr. Voge to everyone due to her great communication skill, extremely skill, and remembered to follow up with me on my chart along with Dr. Hoffman. Excellent team care that rare to find nowadays. Thank you Dr. Voge and Dr. Hoffman for your caring service!
Everyone in the office are caring yet professional.
I was embarrassed at first because it is personal and private! This provider was very understanding and made me feel very comfortable! Thank you again.
This office is very well organized, staff knew what to do, medical aide was respectful and knowledgeable about what needed to be done and even offered me use of the restroom. The dr was terrific- she accepted my male friend without question, was thorough and she didn't show any frustration when I didn't remember stuff from 25 years ago. She was gentle and gave me a running commentary on the procedure, not upset when my body reacted and she had to start over-reassured me it was doing its job. Even gave me a phone number for an in-system pcp when I asked. I found all her notes re:my visit on My Health next day - I've never had that before- even noted my friend gave me his hand for comfort. And, I found a complete list of Legacy doctors by clinic! Thanks doctor!
Dr Emily Edwards is one of the best OBGYN Dr I have experienced! I really like her as a doctor and a person.
Dr. Jensen was kind, professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, efficient, and excellent communicator, and personable. A perfect visit!
Dr edwards is very thorough, empathetic and professional
Great experience. The only thing that could improve it would be the ability to schedule through MyHealth.
I got double booked and was asked to reschedule twice
Do NOT wish to see this provider again, I see why she had the most available appointments.
Good
I love them. They are dear to me.
Dr Van Houten is a doctor I'm very happy to see and talk to about all pertinent health matters. I find her very helpful, reasonable, and compassionate.
Dr. Hoffmann is the best doctor I've ever seen.
Dr. Hoffmann is, by far, the best Doctor I have ever had. As a medical professional, I would go into OBGYN just to learn and study underneath him. He deserves the highest of recognition.
All good but I wish this provider was at Westside more often than once a week.
Dr. Furukawa is professional and very competent as well as forward thinking yet still very personal and easy to work with.
At the start I felt lectured to. She said there was nothing they could do to check for problems with taking the drug Tamoxifen and that I Did Not need to be seen annually. I received the visit summary and then a revised visit summary stating that I did need to be seen on an annual basis. Not sure I'll be back.
Dr. Hoffmann is such an amazing man, he is kind and courteous, he is always considerate and aware of all the health issues going on with me. He is the first OBGYN I have had a decent MD/patient relationship with. He listens to every concern I may have and we talk through it together and make a care plan. Dr. Hoffmann is amazing and I will always recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you Dr. Hoffmann for always being such an amazing human!!!
The wait time was longer than expected, but the doctor is a gynecologist so it's understandable. I was kept informed by the staff.
She was very nice easy to talk with and listened really well to all my questions and concerns
I really like the way everyone treats me there thanks
Dr. Furukawa is absolutely incredible. She is so kind and supportive of all of my concerns. I look forward to my appointments with her, such a great human.
I had a good visit and the doctor and staff were very nice and knowledgeable. Navigating My Chart online is the only issue I'm having.
Really like Dr Hoffman
This was the best OBGYN experience I have ever had. Dr. Van Houten was clear, kind, put me at ease and did a great job of somehow being thorough and concise at the same time. I appreciated her respect of consent, and her sensitivity. Her demeanor and care was exceptional. I wish I could see her for all my medical needs! The front desk staff and MA Mae were friendly and kind as well.
FYI there is an error on QUESTION 4: Rate your communication... Through MYCHARTLEGACY calls their online portal: MYHEALTH not MyChart, even if it's the same program...It has a slightly different name. Thank you
Always good. Direct questions answered and explained why.
Dr. Jensen is very thorough and has a very good bedside manner.
I am very grateful for the medical service I am getting from my doctor and her team. They are excellent! Thank you very much!
Dr. Furukawa and her team are the BEST. I convinced my sister to switch practices so she could experience how amazing Dr. Furukawa is. Will refer anyone I care about to her!
Overall experience was great. Dr. Furukawa I very thorough and informative with patient care. I would recommend her service with my family and friends. We felt love and really cared for. I had a safe delivery and good recovery after my c-section.
Delightful. Personable. Knowledgeable.
Everyone is always friendly, courteous and respectful.
Dr. Furukawa is fantastic. She is thorough, respectful, personable and all that I would want from a provider performing my general wellness care.
Dr. Was very good & considerate with my needs. I will defiantly recommend her to others.
My scheduling admin went above and beyond to get me in immediately, and both my nurse and doctor were incredibly kind, personable, and empathetic. I felt like I was with friends so I felt very comfortable being honest. I've seen providers for this issue before who have made me feel embarrassed and almost guilty. This experience was extremely refreshing.
Dr Hoffman was knowledgeable and sensitive to my unique needs.
One of the most cheerful medical offices I have visited. Friendly, helpful and well run.
The doctor is fantastic and the staff excellent.
The care I received with Dr. Hoffman and his team was exceptional!I needed to have surgery and was grateful for such wonderful people helping me through the process!I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hoffman!Thank you for your great care!
I've seen Dr. Voge for OBGyn issues for several years now. She's wonderful.
Dr. Voge is one of the best. I look forward to seeing her, which can't be said for many doctors, especially OBGYNs. She's made my life better over the past few years with her care and I feel like I get whole health care even though she's a specialist.
Dr. Emily Edward's was very supportive and helpful when it came to my needs and talking me through it
To me the wait time was long in the exam room but I think it's because I did the e-checkin and arrived early. Appointment length was fine though since Dr. Jensen and I were able to get through all of my questions in 30 min or so.
No one called me about my test results. Experience in person was great, but I received my test results which require follow up and no one has reached out to me. This also happened last year, so your follow up protocol needs a lot of work.
Dr Furukawa is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, efficient, pragmatic, and kind. I don't know how she does it, but I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Jessica Voge is personable, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to listen and also explain things in a thoughtful way that makes sense.
Overall a good experience. I wish it was easier to schedule an appointment on the providers website. It was not working.
Dr. Furukawa is a caring and action-oriented physician. I recommend her highly.
Dr Edwards is the best. I am fortunate to have her as my Dr.
My experience there is always great. My provider explained everything deeply and explained what is the plan for my next visit. As well explained my exam results in a chart.
Excellent care very respective and informative!
The MA was super nice. She was new, and she was friendly and made me feel welcomed. I hope she stays with the group for a long while. My doctor was amazing, as always. The woman who checked me in was super nice too. There was one woman in check in who I thought was a little rude to someone. The woman came up to be checked in and the receptionist told her, in an annoyed voice, I will be with you when I finish up working on what I am working on. I thought that was an unnecessary way to greet a patient when your job is to actual greet the patient. This was not my experience, however, and everyone was great.
Emily Edwards and her staff are so very nice. It is a pleasure to visit this office.
The doctor and the doctor assistant/nurse were excellent. I felt very confident and comfortable with the information they provided regarding my health concerns. The doctor was attentive to my needs and made sure to give me all the options possible for treatment. She also was very careful when doing her check up on me, which I highly appreciated it. All the staff overall were very kind and the service was very timely.
Everyone I was in contact with were very polite and professional and kind
Dr. Hoffman is terrific. I can tell he cares about helping me get well
My partner and I attended our first OB appt w/ Dr Jensen since my usual provider was not available. I was briefly asked about my medical history and then an u/s was performed. Based off my exam, we discovered some questionable concerns. My health history in regards to women's services was not reviewed. I feel this could've helped us understand some of my symptoms if it were reviewed. Dr. Jensen was dismissive of my partner. Asking questions about my partners health history but didn't address him even though he was in the room. Dr. Jensen spent about 15 minutes with us then suggested moving us to another room to do my blood draw. We didn't see Dr. Jensen again after that, just the nurse. My labs were drawn on Wednesday and again on Friday. I was told by Dr. Jensen she would be on call over the weekend and she would contact me with Friday's results. I didn't hear anything. I contacted my usual provider on Monday and received a response same day. I'm sure Dr. Jensen is a good doctor but she is not for me. It almost feels like she wasn't present at my appt. There was no connection, empathy, or compassion in my stressful situation.
Dr. Edwards is a very knowledgable and empathetic provider, and I appreciate how she listens to my concerns, goes over my treatment options, and collaborates with me to create a treatment plan. However, I would appreciate less questions/insinuations regarding my mental health when I'm being seen for unrelated chronic pelvic pain with a history of endometriosis.
Very great and responsive doctor!
Dr. Hoffman makes you feel like ur the only patient in the world and all his attention belongs to you .
Dr Hoffman and staff are always kind.
Dr Scott and the whole clinic is a dream come true. Best Doctor and medical provider experience I have ever had, hands down. My husband and I feel extremely lucky Dr Scott is our OB, and that we have the opportunity to deliver our baby at Good Sam. I really dont like taking the time to do surveys but because the care has been phenomenal, I wanted to be sure to show our appreciation!
I felt well taken care of.
I felt like the Dr and nurse were so nice. The Dr reviewed my history before coming in and the nurse was seriously an angel and made me feel like I didn't have anything to worry about and just acted like a normal human and to me, that's important.
Dr Van Houten is one of the best doctors I have had the privilege to see. She always takes time to review my concerns and make me feel heard, and provides treatment options that meet my needs. Everyone deserves to have a doctor like Dr Van Houten.
Great listener. Very respectful. Lovely staff.
Dr. Hoffman and his staff are ALWAYS very kind and attentive. Dr Hoffman is the best gynecologist. He listens and acknowledges your concerns, makes you feel comfortable, And follows up on test results and recommendations promptly. I'm grateful to have him as my gynecologist provider.
The only problem with Legacy is that they over charge for appts. They add extra charges for everything!
She was friendly at first but when I asked questions that disrupted her script she took umbridge and make uncomfortable facial expressions. I then became uncomfortable with her.
Dr. Jensen speaks pretty quickly and seems to think out loud as she considers options. I like to process information before I react, so it made me a bit anxious. In Dr. Jensen's defense, I was anxious about the medical condition for which I was being seen, so I was in a rather sensitive state.
She is too focused on fat shaming me to address my questions about perimenopause. Never acknowledges my healthy habits or years of consistently reducing my weight and BMI despite having an autoimmune disease. Just needs to make sure I know I'm still fat anyway. I've never had a gyn quiz me down about my diet so much. Or my hobbies? Why does a gyn need to know that? Has never acknowledged my perimenopause struggles or tested my hormone levels, but has given me a lot of worthless advice about diet, as if I'm a kindergartener who never heard of a diet or exercise. Does not hear me when I tell her I only eat mostly plant-based whole foods that I cook from scratch and exercise nearly every day. And I'm not sure why I have to go through this every year to get the prescription I need to function. It's very detrimental to my healthy and consistent weight loss journey.
Best office I have been to and Dr.Jensen's holds a great of knowledge and is very professional. Dr.Jensen is respectful and certainly knows what her job well, she great asset to women seeking care.
Apparently there was a problem with the office staff. In particular the receptionists. Two errors were made by them regarding me that sent me t another physician incorrectly and the second required me to make another appointment with this office which should have been taken care of at the visit we are talking about.
It's very difficult to find a great healthcare provider. Dr. Furukawa is excellent.
This doctor was great. My problem is communication with Vancouver Clinic & my ability to contact my primary doctor. It's very problematic: wait times, sending messages , etc.
Dr. Hoffmann is wonderful. His MA is wonderful. They make an unpleasant experience one that doesn't ruin your day. If I have to get a pap I want Dr. Hoffmann to do it.
Dr. Furukawa is an excellent provider. She investigated the imaging results herself and disagreed with radiology's readings, which lead to a new path of healing for me. Her fabulous patient care is comprised of curiosity, creative thinking, intelligence and expertise. I'm grateful for the care she provided for me!
I feel like I left the appointment with more questions than answers. I just was referred to other places for answers because the doctor couldn't answer most involving gender affirming care hysterectomy.
Was a great dr
My family has received the best care from Dr Hoffmann, from routine care to a high risk pregnancy I have had wonderful experiences. He has been understanding of all of my needs and concerns and I feel like I was always well informed every step of the way.
I was very impressed with the staff and Dr. Van Houten. I will definitely tell my friends about the excellent experience I had and recommend the clinic.
The receptionist at the front desk that helped get me checked in was incredibly friendly, fast, and helpful. She seemed very good at her job.Dr Edward's is a fantastic provider that seems to care deeply about women's health. She answered my questions thoroughly and advised me on potential next steps with my care.My only negative experience was that I don't think I was given enough time to let the pain meds kick in before getting my iud replaced, or I wasn't given strong enough medication, because it was still incredibly painful.
Thanks for not being weird about my lack of gender
I love Dr. Voge-she is very caring but also very knowledgeable, and she always thoroughly addresses all my concerns. I'm 58, and she's the best Ob/Gyn I've ever had!
Dr Van Houten is an exceptional provider.
Dr. Abby Furukawa is ABSOLUTELY the BESTSo fortunate to have her as one of my doctors!
We love Dr. Edwards. My husband and I appreciate the care and attentiveness of her and her staff. We are learning to navigate our first pregnancy and she has been exceptional at explaining what to expect. Her responses are always kind and supportive.
Dr Hoffman and the staff are always friendly and caring and make me feel at ease. Always recommend them to my friends and family who are expecting.
When booking my exam, openings were a bit farther out than I hoped. U did not require the office to relay test results to me because I could access them online. I appreciate the great service and care from Dr. Furukawa.
