Women Partners in Health

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Yium is. No matter how busy she is, she takes interest in everything you have to say and answeres questions and concerns thoroughly. I've never had difficulty getting an appointment and never had the wait time a couple of other reviews have mentioned. They took excellent care of me throughout the pregnancy. She is sweet, smart, and caring.

Pros: Wonderful care, convenient facility

I can't be more complimentary about the quality of care, attention to detail, and interpersonal skills at Women Partners in Health. Specifically, I have had excellent care from Dr. Felicia Nash both for routine annual gynecological care and for obstetrical care. The review about having a long wait is the product of what I would deem an atypical visit. Perhaps there was an emergency during that person's visit resulting in the delay and the apparent distraction of Dr. Nash, but this is definitely not my experience. At least 95% of the time I would say I have been called back at least a few minutes BEFORE my appointment time. I have also always found Dr. Nash willing to take the time and effort to discuss all aspects of my medical treatment with me and consult with other doctors and records as necessary. Specifically during her care during my pregnancy, I could not have been happier with her willingness to listen to me, explain things to me, and treat me as an individual. An area that I am particularly satisfied with the practice is regarding their friendliness. At least a half-dozen individuals know me well enough on sight to remember that my child is male along with some other details about him. This may seem silly, but it sure makes appointments seem like more fun! I have and would recommend the practice, particularly for pregnancy care and gynecological care for teenagers (they seem to really have mastered this subtle art). If you do go to them for obstetrical care, don't skip Meet the Partners Night which I think would be more aptly named as "Open Mic Night with your Obstetricians." Not only are they informative and leave you feeling more comfortable with all the doctors of the practice, but they are flat out funny. Standup with an obstetrical edge is something that should not be missed. Kudos to the whole practice.

Pros: Attention to detail, personal service, friendly staff

Cons: getting the phone answered to schedule an appointment can take FOREVER (try 8:30 am) (I haven't seen this problem wtih non-scheduling calls)

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nash. I have seen really bad dr.'s in the past that made me not ever want to go the the gyno again. After an initial consultation with Dr. Nash and I expressed my fears, she put me at ease and has been very nurturing during my first pregnancy. She has not pushed any procedures and has explained everything that she is doing during an exam etc. I have had to wait for her a few times, but I figure if it was me that was taking up her time (like if I was in labor) then I would want her to not be rushed. Over all she has changed my feelings about going to the gyno, I have referred 4 or 5 women to her and will continue to. She is young and positive and I feel those are important to me... she doesn't seem to be high strung at all and will be a calming presence when I go into labor. Also, I am planning a natural birth and she is completely on board with me.

Pros: Extremely nurturing, would be great for first - timers

Cons: Might have to wait

I had an appointment October 24, 2007 with Dr. Felicia Nash M.D. I got there according to the time and waited 30 minutes in the lounge. Once called back the Doctors Nurse did the weight, and asked for a urinalysis and some medical history. Then I waited in the Doctor's office for another 20 minutes for a consultation. Finally!!!, The Doctor arrives! Upon first initial meeting she appeared very pleasant. Then once we got into the nitty gritty of things I was given an attitude. This Dr. Nash was so rude, inconsiderate and did not have a care in the world for my time or needs. She asked about my medical history, if we were going to have children and medications. The medications I am (which being pregnant can be taken) on have been prescribed for the last ten years and this beast wants to alter them because there is not enough data out there on this particular med. Excuse me!! There is a ton! Do your homework!! Secondly, if you are going into an office for an examine you would think there would be a breast check. Nope!! I asked for a mammogram to which she did agree, but once in the examine room( which I waited another 15 minutes for her to arrive) she did not do a check herself. She spent 10 minutes in the examine room and that was it. She wanted out of there. Absoultely no manners or courtesy behavior, She gave you a feeling that you were doing her a favor by being there. Upon checking out I requested records of that visit and I was told it would be $15.00 a PAGE!!!! Go at your own risk. But I would rather not have any medical care then go back to this office again. Women Partners you should be ashamed of yourselves!

Only women work there (as far as I can tell) which is really nice, especially for girls/women going to the GYN for the first time. They helped me feel a lot more comfortable and I feel that I can really trust my doctor there.

Pros: trustworthy, put me a ease

I have no doubt that the doctors practicing at this establishment are well-educated and up to date with the latest in women's health care; however, I have never had such an incovenient and frustrating first and second experience at a doctor's office. The first appointment began with an hour long wait in the waiting room past my scheduled appointment time. Upon returning for a follow-up visit, a nurse informed me that my doctor had an emergency and needed to leave, would probably return in about a week, and that I would have to reschedule. I was able to contact the doctor's nurse to obtain test results, and she set me up with an appointment a month out to see a different doctor. To my amazement, I was called and told the appointment I had set up was not available. I would have to reschedule AGAIN! I understand occasional scheduling conflicts, especially with doctors who practice obstetrics, but after an hour long wait and two times of being rescheduled, I will definitely not return to this establishment. There are plenty of clinics who are up to date on the latest issues with women.

Pros: Reputation for being up to date on women's issues

Cons: Long wait time and patient rescheduling

They do not give you the information that you need in time of crisis. I would not recomend to anyone, especially woman that want a natural childbirth experience. If you want more information you can e-mail me at freecycle_queen@yahoo. I have an interesting story and I would be happy to tell you why I wouldn't go back.

Cons: terrible parking

I've been coming here for 4 years now for my yearly check-ups and have never had a problem. All of the staff are very friendly and make you feel at ease. The longest I've ever had to wait to see the doctor has been 15 minutes - which I hear is pretty normal at a gynecologist office. I've referred all my girl friends and will continue to do so!

These doctors might not be so bad if they didn't make you wait so long. To me it shows disrespect for the patient to consistently have to wait over an hour for each appointment. I can understand an occassional emergency, but this is EVERY time and it is often over an hour. There are too many good doctors in Austin to waste your time waiting around for one group that is mediocre.

Pros: Location is convenient near Seton Central

Cons: Parking is a problem and the waits are ridiculous!
