I arrived to the Northside’s campus around 1:30. I could not see the building they are located in so I called the office to inform them that I am here, but can not find the corresponding building number. I explained that I was next to the baby delivery & surgery building area. No one cared to try to help me find the right building. The person I spoke to just kept repeating “we are next to women’s health, I don’t know where anything else is”, “I would recommend getting out and asking someone else” ....... I decided to let it go and found the correct building myself.
My appointment was for 2, but I made sure to arrive much earlier to find the office & fill out my paperwork. I had already uploaded my insurance information online to zocdoc days prior. When I got there they said that my insurance information was inactive. I knew there was no way that was possible so I called my father to verify (since I am under his insurance plan). It turned out that my insurance is very much active... I just had an old card with me & didn’t realize it. My insurance is the exact same coverage plan though and should have been able to be found...Anyway, my father sent over the up-to-date card to the admin’s email. This encounter took 10 minutes max and I had already quickly filled out my paper work.
My father realized the woman at the front desk did not sound like she really knew what she was doing so he personally called the insurance company to verify everything himself. The insurance company confirmed that the info we provided them was 100% correct & we were all set- the phone call took him 5 minutes (something the admin staff should have done themselves, immediately & quickly).
The office told me to wait and they will call me when they were doing processing it. I was waiting till 4 and I HADNT BEEN CALLED BACK YET!! The office was not busy at all and the 3 patients, who arrived after me, would be called, but I was still sitting there. It was obvious that either no one knew what they were doing with the administrative work or they just didn’t care to take care of it in a timely manner because why in the world would it take over 2.5 hours to process an insurance card & call back a patient!!? Seriously. Not only that but they only had 1 woman sitting at the front desk. So if she was on the phone and you had a question... you had to stand there for however long till she was done with her call. She (or any of the staff that would constantly walk by and see you standing there waiting) didn’t care a bit if they saw standing there for a long period of time not being helped.
I’ve never had something like this happen or this long of a wait to simply be called back before. I was finally called back around 4:10 and continued to have waits in the room to even see the doctor. I could literally hear the doctor speaking outside to the staff, but it took until around 4:30 for her to actually come in to see me. Wait: 3 hours & counting. The doctor was plesant, but I did not feel fully comfortable speaking to her about any of my concerns.
They did not count my appointment which was just to check my basic hormonal health/breasts & inquire about birth control towards a yearly checkup. So....I had to pay for the entire visit, out of pocket, at the end of the visit because they were going to determine it as a “”problem visit”” instead. Given that, I wanted to make sure that I mention everything/anything on my mind & actually get my moneys worth for the 10 minutes actually get to see the her. I began by mentioning some pain I have been feeling under my ribs/chest every time I breath that has been going on, on and off, for a while. I did have a minor fall on the ribs a while back, that could be the culprit, but the fall was not severe and so long ago that it could easily be something else, too. I started birth control around the same time that I started experiencing what I described & the symptoms were even more intensified while on it so I decided to stop the pill.
I had read about so many young girls, like me, online getting blood clots (with no predisposed factors) that travel up to their lungs and it can cause very similar symptoms to what I have- pain in the chest/under ribs particularly when breathing. Rare, but happens way more than you think. Weather it was stupid to think that could have been the case for me or not, BC is not the safest thing & I wanted to feel fully confident that I wouldn’t be putting myself in any greater risk going on the pill again given this situation. The doctor spoke to me in a way as if I was stupid towards anything I would ask or for even thinking that. And responded sarcastically with, “the lungs are not down there”..... I was over it when I heard that. It was clear she didn’t get what I was saying or what I meant. I have a biology degree and my partner is a doctor/Surgery resident, I know where the lungs are....The key was that the pain happens in my chest/under the ribs every time I breath (the lungs). She also went on to say that the only way I could ever potentially actually have blood clot from BC would be with EXTREME pain not the kind I have now. There are people who die of blood clots or PE and show no symptoms at all or it only gets extreme when it’s too late! So that is definitely not always the case!
The point is, yes it’s very unlikely that my precious BC could have caused me these adverse effects & I will be getting an X-ray soon for piece of mind..... but obviously I am not specialized in this field, no concern or question of mine should ever be responded to as if it was a stupid one. If am paying hundreds for a visit, I want to make sure I can express what I want comfortably & leave feeling at ease.
Also, given the fact that my appointment was at 2 and I wasn’t even getting my blood sample until 5- I felt pressure to get out because they were all closing up/going home.
I do have to mention the one fully good experience I had was with the nice woman at the end who took my blood.
Other than that, I got to Northside at 1:30 and left close to 4 hours later. My entire day was gone. I had set aside max 2 hours for the app so I was late to the rest of my plans that day and no one even cared to give me a sincere apology or explanation for it. I’ve ever written a negative review for any office in my life, but this entire experience just left me feeling so unsatisfied.

I wanted to give a five-star rating for the treatment that Dr. MMbaga provided. She was very friendly and took the time to listen to what I had to say. I have visited the Dr.'s office for follow up appointment and the only disappointment was with one of the care-givers-Shalini, I am not sure what her exact designation is at the facility as she never cared to introduce herself before asking regular question. Here are my experiences with her:
First visit: She walks in while the other Dr. assistant is taking my information and updating my medical history and takes over her, without even introducing her she starts asking questions (weird, the way she walks in takes over and shows such unfriendly behavior).
2nd encounter: She calls in to let me know my lab results and upon discussing the prescription assures me that she will call after confirming with the Dr. and the labs, she never calls and just sends the prescription to the pharmacy.
3rd encounter: On my follow-up visit again today she just walks up without any courtesy whatsoever and asks a few questions and leaves.
I am wanted to make sure the reader understands that the services and treatment provided by Dr.MMbaga was excellent the only complaint I have is about her staff.

Doctor MMbaga was very kind, gentle, courteous, and listened to all of my concerns. I'm very happy to have found this practice for my personal needs! The only reason my wait time was longer than average was because I was a new patient - others who were regular patients and arrived after me went in much quicker.

More than 1 year agoOH
My visit with Dr. Natu was alright. It was a standard yearly exam and she covered all the basics. However, was told both at the front desk and when speaking to Natu that any other "concerns" would be billed as a separate consultation (basically an additional visit). The receptionist gave me examples which included pelvic discomfort which should be included in the exam. That's how I was treated in the past when doing a yearly OB-GYN visit at other offices. It made me a little uncomfortable like I wasn't allowed to talk about anything other than the questions they asked me...even when they asked me if I had any other questions or concerns.
