Unified Premier Women's Care

Honestly I would save myself from coming here. Not only will it take you forever to schedule an appointment & waiting times are long between visits, but they will not tell you that the care is covered by your insurance unit its time to bill. So I was stuck paying for a big bill which I still think should have been covered. The actual doctor spent very little time with me, and did not do anything very useful for me. Will never be returning.

I had such an amazing experience as a first time patient at Unified. Dr Cauthen was amazing, very thorough and caring. She is knowledgable and makes you feel at ease! I can go on for days about the WONDERFUL staff in the back omg! Everyone that took care of me was AMAZINGGGG!!!!!! I would absolutely recommend choosing Unified Premier womens!

I absolutely LOVE Dr Robbins, however, this practice is run so poorly. No one ever answers the phone and you wait almost an hour, if not more for your appointment. Again, Laurie Robbins is phenomenal, and I have had to see other doctors at this practice and I will still choose to see her over anyone else every time. But gosh, getting ahold of the front desk, and their responsiveness and communication is seriously lacking.

Very unfortunately, this office requires a social security number on file and a credit card on file, despite the fact that a social is not required legally to provide health care. I have 100% perfect payment history and high credit score, although I dont expect them to know that. I did offer to leave a credit card on file and an HSA card on file. I do not leave my social security number on file anywhere except where legally required. At this, we hit an impasse. Its a shame that this is an insurmountable hurdle to good health care when its not at all necessary. Its also a shame that this requirement isnt apparent anywhere in the process until after youve made a patient portal account and requested an appointment. So Im posting here so others know. Leaving a social security number is not a requirement of receiving healthcare and its a pity to find thats an issue for this practice despite other accommodations and assurances.

Bad experience from the start of my pregnancy but wasnt going to write a review as I dont typically write reviews unless the experience was extremely good or extremely bad but the most recent experience from yesterday prompted me to write this review. I started seeing Dr Street in July of 2022 and from that first appt she told me not to gain any weight. I understand that I weighed 217 and she wanted to make sure I didnt have any issues but telling a women who just started her pregnancy not to gain no weight at all is a bit extreme. Every single appt I had thereafter, she made a point of getting on me about my weight. Mind you, I only gained about 30 lbs the duration. Nothing excessive so it felt like I was being fat shamed with literally every visit. There was also a problem with the Lab corp person drawing my blood, she would never find a vein, she would just stick the needle in and wiggle it around to find a vein. That was extremely irritating and gave me anxiety. Mind you guys, Im 34 years old and Ive been drawing blood a lot in that timeframe. Never had a problem giving blood or had anxiety about it because Ive never experienced someone sticking a needle in and wiggling it all this time until I went to this practice. There have been times in my past I was not drinking water and dehydrated but still had a competent lab tech find a vein and draw blood without having to wiggle the needle. With the most recent visit, I told Dr Street I would be having a home birth with a midwife. She proceeded to tell me about the risk of death and bleeding out and went on to say my child could be a stillborn or have cerebral palsy among other things. She seemed very shocked that I would want a home birth. After that she immediately dropped me as a client and told me she didnt need to see me anymore. She also told me if I needed to go to the hospital for any reason, I would just see the Dr on call at the hospital and she or no one at Unified would be there. (This seemed as though she dropped me because the true cost of caring for a pregnant women comes from labor & delivery so if that was off the table, theres no point to continue to see me. If she really cared, why not continue to see me and check to make sure Im still good up until my home birth. Theres no harm, youre still getting paid with the visits its just my delivery would be at home). I had to sign a document releasing them from caring for me through the rest of my visits. A couple things to unpack with this, I chose a home birth because hospitals are very much pro procedure and policy to avoid liability and tend to ignore the needs or wants of a women giving birth and dont tend to care about what makes the women comfortable. I know several women who have had a hospital birth and they all say it was a negative experience because the hospital cared more about what they wanted then the women giving birth or simply ignored complaints. Some of them wished they would have opted for a home birth to avoid the experiences they had. I want to feel safe, relaxed, and heard not feel nervous, scared, unheard, and unsafe. In addition, the appts with Dr Street would always be me in the waiting room for 45 mins to an hr and then I would get taken back to the room to wait for the Dr another 15-30 mins to have a 5 min minute session with the Dr which seemed rushed. My midwife appts are always an hr long and to be frank, she always knew more than the Dr. Always very knowledgeable and helpful with answering my questions and never felt rushed. The way Dr Street acted just ensured I made the correct decision. UPDATE: I delivered a very healthy baby girl in the comfort of my home. We are both doing well!
