Dr. Pocius was thoughtful and compassionate in her bedside manner, never making us feel rushed and patiently answering my husband's questions about female anatomy. And when it came time for the procedure, she made sure to tell me what she was doing at each step and executed the whole thing efficiently with command. I'm so grateful to live in an area where our healthcare providers prioritize the human.

So my visit with, let me see, Dr. Pocius, if that's her name. Yes, it was my first time meeting her. She was great. She's really easy to talk to. I really admired the way that she kind of brought up all my history since some of my care was at a different hospital. She provided me with information I needed. I had an IUD put in that day. and she gave me all the information, the pros and cons, and then everything was really quick, concise, and she walked me through the entire process. It was my first time doing that, and the staff also made me feel really comfortable, so I really appreciated that. And yeah, it was just a great experience overall.

This was the most caring and attentive experience I've ever had in a healthcare setting. And considering we were going through grief and loss it was very very appreciated.

This was a very easy, painless appointment that I was admittedly pretty nervous about. I was impressed with the doctor, nurses, receptionists. This was a very positive experience, which is not usually what people say of gynocological visits.

The provider seemed rushed and dismissive of what I had to say, just gave me some paperwork because that's not her expertise. [redacted] was nice, but always rushed and not personal.
