Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Annual Well Woman Exam

The doctor was willing to spend time talking and helpful in some new health challenges I have that will be addressed by another specialist in a couple of weeks.

Review for Summer Gilmer, MD

Miscarriage Care

Dr. Lechner approaches all of my visits with care, sensitivity- makes sure I know what to expect and processes afterwards so I always understand my options and where I’m at whether it’s pregnancy related or just wellness visits.

Review for Logan Lechner, MD, FACOG

She did a phenomenal job explaining everything and with the whole procedure. I'd give her 5 stars if I didn't have to wait so long.

Review for Allison Whitton, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Elizabeth was very nice and thorough. I would have given my review 5 stars, except the nursing staff seemed rushed, not organized, and generally annoyed with their jobs. This is not the usual experience I have during my annual appointments.

Great doctor. Very knowledgeable. I know that I always get great information/advice about my health.

Review for Lindsey Thornton, DO

STI Testing / Treatment

I always have a great experience with the office staff and especially with Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, she is literally the best. However, I wish someone would have called me to let me know my copay was going to be $245. I recently got laid off and had to scrabble to find short term insurance coverage which I know is not the greatest coverage but I had no idea my visit was going to be SO expensive. I unfortunately can't afford that right now and I appreciate that the office accepts payment plans but it was definitely a shock to hear that amount when I checked in. That would have been a lot for me even when I had a job let alone now that I am unemployed.

Review for Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, FNP-C

IUD Insertion / Removal

Pleasant doctor and staff staff who do their utmost to make the experience pain-free.
