Verified patient
I scheduled my appointment through ZocDoc and had mixed feelings about the visit. Unfortunately, the front-desk experience was not great. The receptionist was chewing gum loudly throughout our interaction, my insurance information had not been pulled from ZocDoc, and the examination room did not appear properly sanitized. Additionally, the medical assistant made a snide comment about me finding the doctor through ZocDoc, which felt unprofessional. That said, Dr. Newsam was excellent and completely changed the experience. She listened carefully, was attentive, compassionate, and took the time to address my concerns thoroughly. I never felt rushed, and she made sure I understood my care plan. Her professionalism and bedside manner truly stood out and are the reason I would consider returning. I hope the office addresses the front-office and clinical support issues, because the quality of care from Dr. Newsam deserves a much stronger overall experience.
Verified patient

Great service!
Verified patient
Great experience overall. Dr. was thorough and office staff were very nice. Building itself is a little rundown but the care makes up for it.
Dr Newsam is fantastic. She is kind, intelligent, and forthcoming with information and options. The exam was respectful and pain-free. She is comprehensive and knowledgeable and was very willing to listen to all my health concerns and ideas. I brought some of my own info resources to review and she carefully explained the benefits and limitations of the things I wanted to explore. Her office is well staffed with kind people. I was even able to do the labs I needed onsite.
This was my 2nd visit with Dr. Newsam. She was just as friendly and informative as the first time. She listened to my concerns and addressed them right away. Shes’s a 10!
Verified patient

Dr. Newsam was very patient, informative, and knowledgable. She took the time to address many questions. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new gyno!
Verified patient
Dr Newsam is a very intelligent and kind doctor and helped me navigate challenges with an ovarian cyst. However, the wait time at this location every time I've visited is ridiculous. Even when I have been scheduled as one of the first patients in the morning the wait time is more than an hour from my scheduled appointment which is not ideal.
I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. Newsam and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a Black woman, it’s incredibly important to feel seen, heard, and respected by your healthcare provider, and Dr. Newsam exceeded all expectations in this regard. From the very first visit, the office environment was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Newsam took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and provide thoughtful, culturally sensitive care. Their expertise and compassionate approach made me feel comfortable and supported throughout my entire visit. I truly appreciate the level of care I received and will definitely continue seeking care here for all my gynecological needs. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Newsam and it was a pleasent one. The facility was clean and the staff were warm and friendly. I look forward to my next visit with Dr Newsam and i would recommend her to others.
I don't really know how to rate this because I never saw a doctor. My appointment was for my first mammogram. I searched on zocdoc for places near me that offered it. This office was listed. I clicked the box on the appointment for mammogram. Everywhere in my appointment it says I was scheduled for a mammogram. Got there, waited for over 30 minutes. Only to find out they don't do mammograms. The staff was nice and clearly felt terrible that no one caught this and let me make this appointment, so I feel bad leaving such a negative review but it was a massive waste of my time. I don't know if this error is on zocdoc or the office, but someone needs to update what they actually offer and not book people for procedures they don't actually do.
Verified patient
It was a good experience, the doctor is really empathetic and helpful. She explains everything for the patient to understand, which is really important. I loved the experience and I felt really comfortable during the visit.

Verified patient
Dr. Newsome was nice and informative. She talked me through what she was doing and gave me guidance for how to handle a concern I have.
Verified patient
Overall Dr. Newsam seems like a sweet lady, however I did not enjoy her bedside manner. She was judgmental of certain medications I was on, that were completely unrelated to what I came in for. As well, she made further judgmental and unnecessary comments about my body parts. Although she does seem like generally a nice person, I would not go back to see her or recommend her.
I love Dr. Newsam. I used to be her patient at a different clinic and am so glad I could follow her here. She is knowledgable and kind and even finds a way to make me laugh.
Verified patient
Dr Newsam and her staff made me feel heard and cared for. She has a calming, trusting, and informative demeanour. Very glad I went to see her today!

Very kind, comforting, and engaging. Clearly went over what to expect and provided best possible care. Would recommend highly.
Verified patient
Only suggestion is that given registration time and office doors opening at 8 am first time appointment should be at 8:30 or 9:00, not 8:00 am.
Verified patient
Dr. Newsam is the most knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring doctor I've ever had. She went above and beyond to make sure I have a healthy pregnancy and delivery, taking the time to answer all of my questions and concerns, and making me feel like a priority. I am highly recommending Dr. Newsam to any woman.
Verified patient
Dr. Newsam was very welcoming, efficient but not rushed. She asked good questions and made me feel at ease. The staff is helpful.
The Young woman who took my vitals was excellent, but after she was done I continued to wait in the exam room- only to be told that I was to return to the waiting room. The appointment was at 12:45- I left at 1:25 after still not being seen by Dr. As I was leaving- the Dr stepped out into the hallway and simply said “ here I am.” My response was “ here I’m going.” Have never had such an unpleasant experience in all of my years using ZocDoc.
Verified patient
10/10, would recommend :)
Verified patient
Dr. Newsam is kind, real, and professional. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and also made me feel like I could be honest and open with her.
