Patients praise

  • Caring, kind bedside manner; not rushed and takes time to listen (e.g., Dr. Bellows, Dr. Baird, Dr. Montanez, Dr. Balat, OBGYN Medical Center Associates)
  • Thorough explanations and responsiveness to questions/concerns
  • Good staff interactions and communication in some reviews (front desk/nursing staff described as friendly/patient)
  • Trust in physician and perceived high-quality care (including successful outcomes mentioned in reviews)

Common complaints

  • Staff unorganization and poor communication causing extra waiting/time confusion (Dr. Hany Ahmed: waiting and unclear next steps)
  • Some patients report being rushed or wanting more information/test-result follow-up timeliness (Dr. Held: session felt fast; test results not timely)
  • Long wait times and office workflow problems (Women's Specialists: waited at least 2 hours; not sure from context but complaints about waits; Ob/Gyn of Houston: always late and never tell you)
  • Poor bedside manner/customer service in negative reviews (e.g., “very rude,” defensive; talk to patients as if children)
  • Practice-level complaints commonly cited across OBGYN/Urology include feeling rushed/unheard, difficulty booking/rescheduling/answers, long wait times, and no follow-up communication

"“Unorganized with no communication between staff… waited another 20-30 minutes… it took another 30 minutes after the appointment was completed just to tell us…” Provider was great; no complaints about the doctor or nursing staff."

- Zocdoc review excerpt for Dr. Hany Ahmed

"“Dr. Held was attentive, informative and did not rush during the visit. … I have had Dr Held for many years now, her sparkle in her eyes and her caring voice…”"

- Healthgrades review excerpts for Dr. Barbara Held

"“This office was hands down the best! … The staff was so patient and kind… I loved how she actually listened to all of my concerns…”"
