Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The worst experience! Do your research!
Arrogant, uncaring, has no interest in your comfort or care at all. Horrific experience in which I have never forgot!

Dr. Speier-Schafer is the best obgyn I’ve ever seen. She is patient and explains step by step what’s going on. I was given multiple options for treatment. The appointment times are kept, never waiting long extended periods to be seen. She has always been informative, patient and kind. I was miserable before I switched to her. The staff is always pleasant to me and my family. I would definitely recommend others to her.

I write this in physical pain! My primary physician referred me to Dr. Cara Speier before he retired. I trusted him so I had one visit with her. I moved since the visit, so I didn’t get a notice of a left over balance. I called a month ago because of an emergency to make an appointment. Woman on staff in the office said ”You have a balance” with an attitude! I said” Let me bring the money to you”. She said with an attitude “No, call the collection agency”. Lousy customer service! No EMPATHY!

Worst OBGYN ever. She barely took two seconds to get to know me or my history, like the fact that, while my skin is usually clear, I have hormonal acne during my cycles and that I struggle with anxiety, depression, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. She basically scared me into stopping the BC pill I was on (which I loved) to go on a lower hormone pill. It was only after my face was covered in acne that I realized the pill was the culprit. She and her office refused to do anything for me. STAY AWAY.

Dr Speier is very competent and professional.. She is quick and short with answers, unless you slow her down and ask for more clarity. She is wonderful with teen age girls though and takes all the time with them that they need. Three negatives: 1. Closes at 3pm 2. Often a long wait when in room 3. Office staff gruff on phone None of these three things are reason for me to switch doctors. She has been wonderful with my family.

Terrible experience. Nursing staff is a cliche and very judgemental. Dr. Speier has marginal communication skills. Left the office confused, humiliated, and completely unimpressed. I would never go back!

Dr. Speier has been my doctor for over 14 years. She delivered two of my children. She is provides professional, compassionate, informed care. She provides you with many options and works with you to determine what is best for you. You never feel like she is talking at you but is in partnership with you as you maintain health. The wait time in this rating is *not* typical. My last visit was a last minute appointment.

Dr. Speier is very approachable and caring. She is ahead of the rest in the latest surgical and clinical techniques. The office has a soothing, spa-like atmosphere with beautiful decor and lighting. I feel welcome and appreciated at every visit with an accommodating and professional staff. The nurse is extremely knowledgeable in gynecological matters and very good at following up on phone calls. I love going to this office for my annual exams.
