Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Menopause Symptom Support

Dr Goodwin just listens. She tells me what I need and what will work and what won’t!

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

I was really surprised how kind and quickly I was offered an appointment to come in same day. The person I spoke to was extremely patient and helpful and found an appointment for me. Dr. Sapp wasn’t in that day and I saw Dr. Mitchum. She was wonderful. She immediately diagnosed the issue and explained the cause to me. She really put me to ease over something I was so scared about. Every aspect of the exam, I felt comfortable despite my anxiety and being embarrassed about the problem and my weight, etc. She is a wonderful doctor and person.

Weight Loss Management

Dr. Strickland and team are amazing. I have been going to them for over ten years. Everyone is friendly and helpful. There was a new lady at the check out window with short hair I forgot her name but she was super nice! First time meeting her but she’s a great addition to an amazing team.

Maggie is great! She makes me feel comfortable, she’s thorough, I never feel rushed, she answers all my questions and addresses my concerns.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Honestly my favorite doctor and favorite doctor's office to visit. Very considerate. Educates, but in a very respectful way. Lets you be part of the decision and very respectful of choices and beliefs, even if they aren't the same as hers. Very kind. Very knowledgeable and up-to-date. Have never had trouble with front desk staff or had to wait more than just a few minutes in the waiting room or patient room. Nurses are also respectful and kind.
