September 2, 2024Pilar Marian V.Verified patient
I would like to start off by saying Dr. Ema Kulwa is the best Gynecologist ever. She made my first annual exam feel like it was the best experience in the world. She was so patient, very kind, and an extremely great listener. Every question I had Dr. Kulwa followed up with a great answer. She also explained every part of the procedure as she was working, which made me even more comfortable. As an African American female I always get scared my concerns aren't fully being addressed in the medical industry, but you could feel Dr. Kulwa is very passionate about the patient and her work. I will now be going to Dr. Kulwa full time as this experience has been like no other. If you live in Greensboro or any surrounding areas, I TOTALLY recommend seeing Dr. Kulwa as she is amazing and one of the most sweetest persons on this earth.
THANK YOU DR. KULWA!!!!!
You are simply amazing and great at what you do.

Great OBGYN!!Everything about the appointment was great. She was listening and very tentative and gave great advice as well as very transparent about next steps. The only issue was that the office location in the application is different from the building, but I made them aware that I hope it’s fixed :-) ?
August 6, 2024Tiffany D.Verified patient
Dr. Kulwa was wonderful! I was extremely nervous for my appointment because I’ve never had a good experience with any OBGYN I have ever seen, but Dr. Kulwa and her staff were very attentive and listened to all my concerns. They were patient with me and kept me calm and explained the whole procedure to me throughly. The long drive to her office was worth it. I will definitely be going back.

patient, thorough and understanding.
November 6, 2023Lillian W.Verified patient
This provider eased my 'new doctor anxiety' and I will definitely be coming back and making her my primary provider when it comes to OB-GYN. I feel like she was very knowledgeable and did not shame me for any issues I had. She was very respectful of my body and was quick but still thorough with her exam.
October 20, 2023Breeanna H.Verified patient
Dr. Kulwa was awesome. She’s a great listener and actually seems like she genuinely cares. Her bedside manners exceeded my expectations. The staff was very welcoming and nice. The only con is the long wait I had. Dr. Kulwa made the wait worth it. My appointment didn’t feel rushed and she spent enough time to listen to all my needs and concerns. I love how she asked how did certain things I went through made me feel. It shows her compassion. Thank you!

It was my first time at the office. The staff was very friendly and the cleanliness of the entire office was excellent. I felt a GREAT connection to Dr. Kaluwa. She was a Great Listener to my concerns. She is an Awesome Ob/Gyn doctor. She was very gentle and explained step by step as she was examining me. I would definitely recommend her. I had a GREAT EXPERIENCE as well as it being my 1st time. I relocated from NY to NC so I was nervous on going to a new doctor. Dr. Kaluwa made me feel very relaxed & comfortable. Thank you to Dr. Kaluwa & her staff. Thank you very much.

Dr. Kulwa is amazing! Moving from another state and leaving all my doctors was so unnerving. All my nerves went out the window after meeting her. She listened, and she cares, and that is so rare to find in a doctor. Thank you, Dr. Kulwa!!!
