Dr. Monica Philipkosky, MD

As a person I feel she may be quite nice but as a women’s healthcare provider she is terribly lacking in bedside manner. She made me feel as though I was wasting her time when the appointment did not go smoothly. Also, there are no comforts in the exam room; cold speculum, cold stirrups, thin paper gown, cramped room, bright lights, etc. I will say that if you experience PTSD or trauma you should not go here because even if you tell the staff they will not take it into consideration and will not accommodate. I was told that this Doctor was trauma informed but sadly this was not the case. It was incredibly dehumanizing and the way she spoke to me was very rude no matter her intention. If you have never been to an OBGYN before do not go here. She did not take the time to get to know me before starting the appointment thus I was less trusting of her. Nor did she explain the process before beginning the examination. I will never forget this experience but I will also likely never return.

Loved her.

She’s rude and rushed. I’ve had a few hospital visits thinking I may have been in labor but not quite sure and she just had her nurses rush through and not even fully evaluate the situation like they should have or give me the time of day. I’ve called her once for medical advice and all she did was huff and puff and act like it was just a waste of her time. She also told me I need to call her every time before just going up to the hospital which I shouldn’t have to considering I have the right to just go if I think I’m in labor and she has no right to give me medical advice over the phone. If I wasn’t so late in my pregnancy I’d switch to another place because never again do I want to see her and would recommend her to anybody.

Dr. Philipkosky delivered my first child in March of 2017. While I was completely comfortable with her during our scheduled appointments, I found that during the actual birth, there was a lack of personal connection. I was hoping for a chat beforehand and afterwards, but the doctor slipped away after the delivery. I was also hopeful for some check-in's after the delivery, but did not receive that. I am not even sure that she recalls my son's name or I was hopeful for a more personal approach. As a provider, she did a god job of answering my questions during the pregnancy and of providing a very relaxed office atmosphere, which I appreciated.

Have to leave messages instead of getting a person when I call. She brings in a PA student and doesn’t ask permission for them to examine you. The appointment was rushed and she started to leave before I had asked all my questions.

Their phones are never working during regular business hours! Just called at 1:15 on a non-holiday and got a recording that the office was closed. Normal phone hours are 8a-4p with the office being closed 11-12 for lunch. Not the first time this has happened. Get it together!

She delivered my first son via c-section and it was a wonderful experience.Dr. Philipkosky also told me that I was going to have a large baby and felt I was too small to deliver him. I asked her how much she thought he would weigh... she felt around my belly again and she said. I am going to guess 9lb 9 oz. He was delivered days later at 9lb 11oz. She has always had great bedside manner. I wont see anyone else!! -Erin D

This office is fine for your regular gynecological check up. But for pregnancy appointments, I have been EXTREMELY disappointed. So far I have only had around 6? (over halfway through my pregnancy) and THREE of them have been cancelled, rescheduled, or have been moved to another location which is not convenient for me to attend. I've seen Dr. Philipkosky 1x in all of my visits, which is scary for a first time mom who needs to talk options/ avoiding interventions/ etc. Switching to a midwife.

To get through to this office is outrageous. I went there once and I'll never go again. You have to call over 10 times and still can't through to anyone. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
