“Dr George is very efficient in her exam and does not linger long. I am a very skittish patient and she made that part much better than most others I’ve seen. ”

“had to wait 2 months for initial appointment but provider was fine, parking is kind of annoying and staff was ok. provider was great and I plan on going back but definite lack of communication between staff members, was asked same things many times and was asked to do exams I was told I didn't need by the different people who I saw which was very unnerving (nurse, student, MD). Also saw students first and then had minimal time with provider. fine because I have no major needs or issues (but if I had pressing issues, I would have been annoyed). ”

Nice office, Dr. Karen George is very kind and attentive, asked me questions, wanted to know my concerns, asked about exercise and other things not just about GYN issues. Highly recommend.
February 27, 2021Leslie B.Verified patient
Dr. George was so kind
She answered all of my questions, and I felt very cared for as a patient and human. I had been avoiding doctors appointments for years but was really grateful my first appointment was with her.
February 19, 2021Serena B.Verified patient
Dr. George is amazing. She really listens and does not rush through the appointment. The wait can be long to be seen, but it is worth it. I highly recommend Dr. George.
February 15, 2021Rachel G.Verified patient
I was disappointed with my appointment with Dr. George. I went for an annual gynecological check-up. She did not ask if I was sexually active. Instead, she asked if I was in a relationship, and when I said no, she assumed that I was not sexually active. She even said something along the lines of "Okay, so you're not worried about birth control, then" (not as a question - as a statement). I felt pretty uncomfortable and judged, and was too taken aback in the moment to tell her that I was sexually active and was, in fact, "worried about birth control." It was disappointing to have my doctor make assumptions about crucial medical information based on a somewhat irrelevant question about my personal life.

Due to a system error I ended up waiting for 2 hours. However, I was very happy with DR George. She’s knowledgeable, professional and her bedside manners are exceptional. I strongly recommend Dr George.
July 24, 2019Alessandra P.Verified patient
Great first visit. All the nurses and front desk staff were friendly and accessible. They saw me right away! Dr. George is intelligent and non judgmental and very easy to talk to. She asks comprehensive questions and gave me great information. Highly recommend.
June 14, 2019Sarah C.Verified patient
I found Dr. George to be very cold and disinterested. She walked in the door without even a hello! Makes no sense for a Primary Care Physician to be that way especially with a new patient. I had seen her moments before being very friendly with an older patient but she didn’t extend to me even a basic greeting. The remaining few minutes with her were also unfulfilling. She made made no recommendations or referrals. I felt like that appointment was a complete was of time for which she will be paid through my insurance and I will have to wait 1 more year to see a better doctor.
June 13, 2019Yvonne B.Verified patient
Just didn’t like the nurse very much...
April 13, 2019Lucila K.Verified patient
She’s great at listening and making you feel comfortable. I feel like she really listens to you and isn’t in a rush to get to the next patient. 5 stars

Dr. George is a great listener, and has helped me resolve issues that other doctors have not been able too. She is very kind and understanding, definitely makes my care a priority, and gives me much comfort with her knowledge and experience!
January 9, 2019Jennifer R.Verified patient
She was an excellent physican. Very knowledgeable and asked the necessary questions in order to get the information needed to help me. I would definitely make another appointment if needed.
August 8, 2018Jean M.Verified patient
Dr. George is a calm and compassionate person. Took the time to hear my medical history. Will definitely go back to her, if required in the future!
June 29, 2018Nitya A.Verified patient
It was my first visit with Dr. George and I absolutely loved her. She was comfortable to talk to, really listened to my concerns, and when I had to have a painful procedure done, she did it with a lot of empathy and with as little pain as possible. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new OB/GYN!

Dr. George was so professional and so nice. It was like talking to your best friend, I was just very comfortable speaking with her.

Dr. George was knowledgeable and friendly! She took her time to explain things to me, but also didn't waste any of mine. The office is beautiful and very efficient. My entire well visit was less than an hour. I'm definitely keeping her as my obgyn

What an incredibly kind and patient doctor. This is the first time that I've seen a doctor who just simply leaned back and listened and exchanged without giving off that rushed bedside manner. I really appreciated being listened to and having a great conversation about my health. Thank you!
