Best Birth Center Independence Near Me

Deana Gobble: This is a highly-qualified Women's Clinic! They provide quality care and are very personable!

Christina K: I moved from out of state and needed an IUD replacement, so I reached out to this clinic due to proximity and positive reviews.Although all I needed was an IUD that is a year overdue for a removal, I was told I’d have to have an exam first, and then have a follow up for the BC. And that the wait was 2 months to get in. They were very nice on the phone. Annoyed that I can’t just get a new IUD on the day of my first exam, but I it’s been hard to find an appointment anywhere so I agree. She reminds me to fill out the patient form or my appointment will be canceled, so I later make sure to go online and fill them out.Two months later, I call to make sure of my appointment time a week ahead of time. Still polite and friendly. They confirm the time, and I say thanks.After I arrive, the person at the front desk tells me I am “unfortunately 3 minutes late” (I was in line at the desk behind other people). And that my appointment has been cancelled because I failed to complete a “patient history form.”Sure that I had, I learned that the “patient form” I had already filled out online isn’t the same as the one I needed to fill out. And I can’t get a new appointment for another two months.The desk person says she emailed me the forms “five time” just now (not sure why), but it is still not showing up even when I search for the sender address. I find it in my junk folder, which explains why I didn’t see the email earlier.I fill out the forms online at the office so I can make sure I have it done, and many of the questions don’t apply (nothing about needing birth control in the “why are you making this appointment “) or are strangely personal (“do you wear sunblock regularly” or “do you have problems with your children”).I’m upset about the hoops people have to jump through to get access to birth control. It’s confusing and I’m treated like I am at fault for not being more responsible.I can deal with mistakes and miscommunications but the overly complicated process of becoming a new patient in addition to the long wait between appointments is responsible for the two star review.

Barbara Klein: I love my doctor and staff. Hate the check in and out. Prior to my appt, I get email about registering but when I go to register, it tells Mei don't need to. When I get there for day of appt, no one directing where to go, what to do, no queue process but have to go thru registration process anyway. Again a queue or guidance would be helpful. Then when appt need to schedule follow up. No direction given as to how to do this. Do I go back to registration. No direction or help from registration staff but they are busy. Had same problem last time I was here. Just walk out. Will figure out scheduling follow up later.

Donna Dannels-Wickboldt: Office and Dr. Smith are great

Jennifer Magee: I had the best mammography tech, Samantha! More HCA workers should be like her.

Rebecca Chappell: Since I am claustrophobic I dreaded getting an MRI, especially since I previously had a bad experience with one. It was my good fortune to have Anna as my technician this time around. She made a world of difference in the way she handled the process from beginning to end. She kept me informed of each step, encouraged me and showed sincere empathy for me, the patient. Thank you Anna!

michael c: Received outstanding care in the ER for hand laceration despite a packed ER. Jenn, NP stitched me back together with steady hands and Bianca, RN were both rock stars in providing care. 5 ⭐️ . Thank you again.

Arquetta Fell: My experience for 7 days with the Icu and hospices staff was Amazing regarding my mother.

V Martin: It was great. No issues.

Jennifer Nichols: It was better then I thought it would be, but, I feel like I wasn't really even treated I saw one person when i was checked in just to sit in a chair and get x-rays no one really evaluated my injury I saw mainly a nurse. I mean the staff where very nice from what time I did see them, bit it sure didn't feel like I was receiving any kind of care.

Katie Conyers: The only reason I'm giving a two star rating instead of a one star is because the nurse practitioner and final nurse of my visit did seem to care and want to provide help.I was in the ER for over 8 hours for severe abdominal/ovary pain. In that time, I never was moved to a room. After I went through triage, they moved me into another waiting area full of other post-triage patients. Not only was it incredibly uncomfortable, especially already being in abdominal pain, but there was no sense of privacy. Any and all information from registration to medical news, was given in front of everyone in the waiting hallway.I needed to have a CT scan to try to determine the cause for my pain. I got the scan in a timely manner, but then proceeded to sit there for over 3 hours before a nurse finally decided to investigate why they hadn't heard anything. Apparently someone had forgotten to submit my results resulting in the lengthy delay.At the time of triage the nurse practitioner said she wanted to start me on an IV of fluids and Zofran. Once I was finally called back to see the NP about 4 hours later, she wanted to know if I was feeling better after the meds. That was the first opportunity I had to mention to anyone that I never received the meds she prescribed FOUR HOURS EARLIER. No one came to check on me in the waiting hallway once the entire time I was there.My final complaint is about the "paramedic" that did my blood draw and put the the IV port in. She was so busy talking with a coworker about when she was going to be off and what she was going to do that she could hardly give me time of day. She roughly stabbed the needle and then proceeded to have to dig around trying to hit the vein. I don't have scientific proof, just the opinion from a physician at another ER that I had to go to a week later, that the rough injection has now caused a superficial blood clot in that arm.

Donetta Moore: As always, very caring and kind people

Natress KELLEY: As usual, good patient service.

Isaiah Mitchell: This place is not good

Brenda Tillery: Competent and efficient staff in Emergency Room & Radiology.

Maya Dotson: The medical staff are friendly but this last visit I felt when being discharged I was being brushed off/ hurried to get me out. Nothing was explained regarding results from my ultrasound/ x-ray. Just shown results were in my discharge folder. I had to ask what to do about my swelling behind my knee. At this point I'm dissatisfied with Center Medical Center as a whole including their ortho doctors. I will be seeking care in St. Louis I know I will get the proper care there. I will say the ER follow up scheduling department has been great trying to help me schedule follow up appointment.

Vicky Combs: In my most recent experience there on May 16, 2023 the level of incompetence in the clinic where I was sent for my procedure was down right dangerous! I will never go to Centerpoint again, am in the process of having all my doctors changed to the KU system, and will be happy to explain in great detail why the situation at Centerpoint was so dangerous to anyone seeking the information.

Mike Smith: My visit was just fine everyone working there really helped me and I am feeling much better now

John Dold: The doctors and nurses were wonderful. The Physical Therapistswere great. Very very happy with the care I received.
