Pap Smear

Maggie Darst is simply an exceptional provider. I have a lot of anxiety around pelvic exams and the pap smear process is difficult for me - she is efficient, quick, and effective all the while infusing compassion and humor into my experience. I adore her and am so grateful for the care she provides.

Gynecological Exams

Maggie Darst is very personable and makes me feel at ease for a very nervous doctor's visit. She has great "bed-side manner".

Treatment / Procedure

Everyone is very nice and cheerful

Annual Well Woman Exam

Somehow my appointments got scheduled on the wrong 10th of the month. Instead of turning me away they found a way to fit me in the same day & no wait. Maggie is always a great doctor & every time I enter in I am greeted with smiles & positivity.

Obstetrical (Pregnancy) Ultrasound / Sonogram

Dr Darst was so sweet and communicated so well. She made me feel super comfortable.

OB Care

The customer service received at all levels from front desk to check out was outstanding. Margaret was amazing.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Maggie Darst was extremely rushed in seeing me, and I get the impression that the only thing that she cares to discuss with her patients is hormonal birth control. This is also based on prior experiences. I went in trying to discuss hormones and how they can affect how widely my cycle ranges and how it affects my weight, which both symptoms point to PCOS. She was not interested in discussing hormones or PCOS at length, but I was told hormonal birth control was the only treatment (dismissing how food or supplements could also support healthy hormonal functions), and that I should consider an endocrinologist. The visit was very rushed, which I understand the office is understaffed right now, but I will not be seeing her again. The woman working for LabCorp who took my blood was exceptional though. I would rate her a 5/5.

Routine Pregnancy / Prenatal Appointment

Maggie is very personable, listened to all my concerns and answered all of my questions.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

I greatly enjoyed Dr. Durst - However I this was my third doctors appointment for this UTI and I was told that on my previous appointment the urine culture was not ran. This was important because it was the entire purpose of that visit as I had already undergone a round of antibiotics without resolution of the urgency to urinate. While this is not on Dr. Durst it was a total failure of my previous appointment causing me additional costs and discomfort. To be told "this happens sometimes" is not in any way sufficient for the situation.
