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.

Dr. Knoedler is one of the only providers to not dismiss my symptoms and concerns. She acknowledged and confirmed the source of my symptoms, and acknowledge the depth that it was affecting my ADLs. I am beyond grateful for her care (and surgical expertise), even if it was from a circumstance I would have rather avoided. I since use my care from Dr. Knoedler as a base of how to advocate for myself from other providers.

I have an amazing midwife and when my care transferred to Dr Knoedler because of potential need of an emergency c-section, she dismissed my concerns, talked to staff as if I wasn’t in the room. She did nothing to walk me through why my care needs were changing. Terrible bedside manner. I am SO SO thankful my care transferred to another physician before I actual needed c-section. At the time being a first time mom, she had no empathy, no patience, and didn’t walk me through the why of my procedure…. I was next on her to do list and it was her way or the Highway.

Terrible
This woman almost killed me in a c section. I realize now was unnecessary. She mocked me in her notes as well. Told me 1.5 weeks post partum that I would never be able to carry again and if I some miracle did I could never have a vbac. She caused so much PTSD that I am continually trying to help.

A Truly Amazing Doctor!
After many years of infertility issues, I became pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy. I saw Dr. Knoedler and she made what was otherwise a horrible moment better with her kindness and compassion (her humor too!!). I also needed testing done when I started infertility treatments and saw her again. Another great experience. She is an amazing doctor. I wish I could find such a wonderful primary care provider. I highly recommend her.

After 3 years of infertility, Dr. Knoedler was the first of 5 doctors to figure out the cause of my infertility. She performed a laparoscopy for endometriosis and two months later I was naturally pregnant. She is by far the most caring, knowledgeable, and personable doctor I have ever seen. She truly listens and addresses all of your concerns.

Dr. Knoedler and her team at MetroPartners OBGYN were just amazing. Their communication is great! They kept me informed at all times on what was happening. Dr. Knoedler is such a great advocate to have in your corner. She listened to what I had to say, gave me all my options and helped ME decide on a course of action.

Dr. Knoedler is the best OBGYN in the Twin Cities. I've been seeing her for 10 years and have always felt so comfortable and respected during our visits. She is so patient, answers questions and explains information thoroughly, and never rushes through appointments. I trust her implicitly. On top of being incredibly intelligent, she is so friendly, funny, and speaks to me like she's talking to a friend. I always enjoy my visits with her. I have recommended to her multiple friends and family and will continue to do so!

Dr. Knoedler is amazing! She immediately made me feel at ease upon entering the room. She was very thorough in her explanations and options. At no time did I ever feel embarrassed about asking a question. Dr. Knoedler is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, a greatly regarded surgeon, and simply a friend to talk to.

Dr. Knoedler is hands down the BEST -- She's always attentive to my needs/concerns, while being extremely informative with options regarding my health. If she doesn't know the answer, or its outside her realm of expertise, she's great with referrals to other doctors/clinics who would be great for my concern(s). I have recommended her to anyone looking for OB focused care, and will continue to do so!

Dr. Knoedler is an amazing doctor, I feel so lucky to have found her when my gynecologist of many, many years retired. She balances knowledgeable advice, professional demeanor and compassionate understanding to service me as a patient and a (sometimes scared, embarrassed) woman. I'm looking forward to the current pandemic isolation to end so we can get back to annual checkup/checkins.
