Excellent Practitioner
An absolutely excellent practice. I have used Associate's In Women's Healthcare for years. I hate doctors. I hate medicine. I have navigated the maze and complexity of the halls of medicine for many years and I dislike the profession...

not up on the latest medical treatments
Linda Mohr prescribed me birth control pills for menstal pain even though I was 44 years old at the time and I have a problem with my heart and have suffered with migraines headaches all of my life. I reminded Dr.Mohr of these condistions but she was of the option that because I was not over weight and I did not smoke I would be fine. I suffered a stroke within 3 months of taken the birth control pills.

Best OB All Around!
I first discovered Associates in Women's healthcare when I was 7 1/2 mos pregnant with my first child. I was extremely unhappy with my then current ob and was referred to them by a friend. It was the best decision I could have made! I have had two children with this practice and are looking forward to having more with them. I really feel that they listen and take me seriously as a woman and mother. I recommend them to everyone that asks me, and sometimes when I'm not asked!

Practice WAY too big for personal attention...and a general lack of bedside manners
When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I looked at website reviews, such as this one, in selecting which practice I would go with. Thinking it would be great to have a practice with 5 women, most of whom would have experienced childbirth themselves, I switched from my male GYN and picked Associates. As long as my pregnancy was trouble-free, I was ambivalent about the care I was receiving-we certainly never had the warm fuzzies about anyone there, but no major complaints besides feeling "processed through" at each visit.

There are too many doctors in the Triangle to put up with this
Absolutely terrible experience. Doctors lacked any bedside manner; questions were dismissed without much discussion.

Avoid this practice!
I chose this practice because I worked with some of these doctors at the time I became pregnant. I went to them because they were all women. Do not make the mistake thinking women OB's are going to be more compassionate with you while you are pregnant or having a baby! Quite the contrary...they take the attitude as "shut up, I've been there, done that...get over it". They didn't even treat me any more professional taking into account that I knew them! When I was about 6 weeks pg, and was so sick and before I had my "official" appt, they would not give me anything for nausea/vomitting, knowing that I ended up hospitalized with my 1st pregnancy for dehydration. The other OB group I worked with wrote me Rx's to help me until my appt with Associates. It became worse for me as I developed severe pain/could not sleep due to pain with a couple months to go in my pg...Not one doctor would take me seriously!! "oh, take some Tylenol and Benadryl"...I HAD been doing that with no relief! Dr. Moody was so condescending. AT about 36 weeks, I was getting ready to change to a different practice b/c they would not listen to me as a patient...it's like they want to "cookie cut" every pregnancy and once again..."get over it...it can't be that bad". Some of the nursing staff was rude as well. When I spoke with one of the other docs on call one evening and said I was changing practices at 8 months, she finally listened and made me comfortable and was simpathetic. After that, it was ok...but it's a shame it took 8 months to get the care I should have been getting all along. My first pg, I went to a group of men and they'd do anything in the world for you...it was their goal to make your pg a great and memorable experience...afterall, they do get paid good money.

Uncaring environment, incompetent office staff and nurses
Thought I was ten weeks pregnant with my first baby when we had our first ultrasound with Associates in Womens Health. After that first ultrasound, we learned that the baby was actually only 6 weeks, and that it was possible it had stopped growing. Instead of performing additional tests, the doctor adopted a "wait and see" attitude. I learned two months post miscarriage that there WERE tests they could have done to determine if a m/c was inevitable. I started spotting dark brown on a Sun, but didn't call the office because that can sometimes be normal. I spotted bright red on Mon, and DID call, but was given the brush off, saying that that can sometimes be normal too. Tues, I passed a clot, called the office and was told to come in to the office the next AM. I was given no information about what may be happening to me, and wasn't even told if it could be the beginnings of a m/c. Later Tues. night, I began cramping and called the office again. FOUR hours later, I received a phone call from the doctor, who, the nurse told me, had "been in surgery". In the office the next AM, I actively starting miscarrying. Two nurses were sympathetic, but doctor was cold and clinical. Went in for regular bloodwork post-m/c to monitor hormone levels, but never saw doctor until *I* made an appointment about a month after the m/c. Doctor told me they usually don't schedule a follow up until after the hormone levels were 0, and mine took "longer than usual". I've since asked other women who have m/c, & learned that I did NOT take longer than normal. Also, the office staff doesn't know what else is going on in the office. Right after the 2nd follow up, I received a call from a nurse to schedule a m/c followup, the one I had already had two weeks prior. Also, two weeks post-m/c, I experienced some strange symptoms, called the office, and was told that sometimes pregnant women experience those symptoms. I had to explain, to my own Dr's office, that I had m/c.Stay away from this office.

Look elsewhere
When the very basic of basics can't be handled by office staff, it doesn't exactly make a patient feel comfortable with the doctors. I'm not talking anything too terribly complicated either. Just basic, run of the mill, office type stuff.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Moody and the folks at Associates in Women's Health
I'm typically not one to write reviews of services provided however, after reading the reviews on CitySearch of Associates in Women's Health, I knew I had to write of my experiences with Dr. Moody and the other fine folks at this practice. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Moody for multiple visits last Spring that led up to surgery. I would think most women would agree that it's no walk in the park when visiting the OB/GYN. Come on...naked, feet in stirrups, need I say more? Anyway, especially considering these conditions, I've always felt quite comfortable and very well cared for with Associates. My visits included exams, bloodwork and biopsies...none of which I enjoyed, but the compassion was very obvious. Dr. Moody took the time to explain my options and educate me so that I could make a decision that I would be comfortable with long-term. I had a complete hysterectomy in June of 2008 and could not have asked for my experience to have gone any better than it did. I recently had my 6 month post-op visit and all is well. Again, Dr. Moody demonstrated compassion and genuine concern.

I have to STRONGLY agree with the previous review.Worldwide > United States > Raleigh, NC > Doctors
