The nurse assistant was not pleasant, did not provide or recommend a place to store my purse or to take my shoes off and put them back on. Just rude. Did not provide paper cover on scale to place my feet. The scale is sitting in the public area. The assistant did not tell me the results of my blood pressure. The nurse assistant called me by my first name. While the doctor appropriately call me Ms. XXXX . Dr. McKnight was great.

The patient care tech and phlebotomist were not helpful at all. Very short in answering questions and providing directions on the next steps to be completed during visit. Nursing/medical assistant didn’t complete a full h+p and continuously came back to ask questions she forgot to ask initially. Dr. McKnight wasn’t bad but not great. Not personable and not the most welcoming either. I had high hopes of finally having a MD that looks like me and unfortunately this experience fell short.

Everything about this visit was wonderful...from check-in to the ambiance of the waiting room, office visit with Dr. McKnight, to the exam, the pre-filled forms. The exam rooms were clean and they followed COVID protocols. It was, overall, a wonderful experience.
February 11, 2021Kisha L.Verified patient
Every single person I've encountered in Dr. McKnight's office has been nothing but pleasant and competent. I've had so many bad experiences with doctors and have avoided appointments for as long as I could due to that, but my experience with Dr. McKnight and her staff has been enough to completely turn my attitude around. I felt listened to and cared for, and was not rushed. She and her staff were thorough and patient. I will definitely continue coming back.
February 2, 2021Elise B.Verified patient
My experience was great. Dr. McKnight took the time to listen. The staff was friendly too. Unlike other places, I was seen within 10 minutes of my appointment time.
January 19, 2021Cindy T.Verified patient
I want to start by saying this busy office is very well run. I’ve visited numerous times and have only had one poor run in with a woman handling phone lines. But in person, everyone is friendly, professional, and well organized.
I had began seeing Dr. McKnight as a regular OBGYN since graduating undergrad about 2 years ago. I was excited to also book with a Black woman who could understand my lifestyle and how that would affect my medical needs. She is professional and light spirited. I recall her conducting my pap smear and coaching me easily through the whole process.
This most recent appointment with her was regarding birth control. I want to switch from the pill to an IUD. She let me know that this form of birth control was highly effective, but my hesitance and uneasiness lies with having to prompt her to explain side effects and detail the hormones being added / removed from my body. For example, I initially chose the pill because it controlled my acne. Dr. McKnight didn’t mention that acne could be anomaly as I transition until she was probed. I’ve found that her initial answers, when asked about birth control options at least, are short and encouraging (I.e. “this is really effective with a 99.5% rate! This is our most popular option.”) - which doesn’t paint the whole picture. I want to know off the bat what are some expectations when beginning a new journey like this one.
She reassured me with successful statistics, but leaving out potential side effects - no matter how rare or negative they could be, particularly for black women - makes me less trusting.

Dr. McKnight is great at making one feel at ease and is understanding and clear with her instructions and comments.
The office itself is gorgeous! You feel like you're waiting for a spa appointment....

I’ve been having such lady troubles the last year. I told Dr McKnight my story, showed her my previous prescriptions and her response was amazing. She asked questions none of the other drs I’ve seen thought to ask and gave me some good options to try! Feeling much more hopeful after my visit. She rocks!
