OB Care

Dr. Hawes does an incredible job of trying to get to the root of an issue and describing the process in a palatable, intelligent way. I felt heard and taken seriously. I got my lab results in and a nurse very quickly called to let me know the issues I had been experiencing and a solution to said issue. Highly recommend this office to anyone of my trusted friends and family members.

Had to wait quite a while but understood that another patient was having a pregnancy crisis. Dr. Hawes was apologetic and courteous and did exam and got me out quickly.

My office visit was due to changes in emotions, mood, etc around my cycle. Dr. Hawes assessed me very well, listened to me and my partner and our concerns to understand the full spectrum of the situation prior to diagnosing and treating. I feel the treatment has been effective and the right choice was made based on my situation.

Gynecological Problem Visit

Because my pain was not taken seriously. The doctor could not feel the lump due to the position I was in and told me to give it more time and not to worry about it despite it causing increasing discomfort and growing in size. Doctor guaranteed that it was not anything serious despite not being able to feel it. I felt belittled. I originally mentioned that the lump had initially felt like a tense muscle possibly but I very quickly realized it was a lump. No referral for pelvic floor PT, no pain management or other resources were offered. I worked with a pelvic PT for years and am a licensed massage therapist who has trained in innervaginal work and I am certain that this lump have never been there before and is not a normal part of my anatomy or a tight muscle. I will not continue service with AWMC.
