Kim McMahon has been my ob/gyn for 20 years! She is amazing and responsible for the safe delivery of my 19 year son after a very complicated birth.
She is a wonderful doctor and I would highly recommend to all!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kimberly McMahon for over a decade - since before my daughter (now 10) was born - and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She creates a space that is completely judgment-free, where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking anything.
She’s clear and thorough in her explanations, takes time to make sure you understand your options, and brings a level of cultural sensitivity that is rare and deeply appreciated. You never feel rushed - you feel cared for.
Beyond being an exceptional physician, she’s just a fantastic human. If she weren’t my doctor, I’d want to hang out with her. That says everything.

The doctor was very lax and was dressed in regular clothing (no scrubs or surgical mask), which felt very unusual. I felt like her bedside manner was overly friendly to a detriment, but unfortunately, she didn’t put me at ease when conducting her exam. She didn’t walk me through what she was doing, which was confusing as a new patient.

Wonderful experience and the best I have ever had for Women's Health. Would highly recommend for a doctor who listens to you, makes you feel heard, and guides you through the healthcare plan/process.

Great experience.

Dr. McMahon was absolutely wonderful. I'd let my care lapse for a few years after having my child and I was really anxious about seeing someone for the routine and not-so-routine things, but my fears were quickly put to rest. She asked questions and listened to everything I had to say - even though it was a lot to unpack after so long without regular annual appointments.
I have nothing but great things to say about her and everyone I encountered at NSW. I'm so glad to have found her and plan to stay engaged and up-to-date with my health with their support.

All staff were kind, they listened and were helpful. Dr McMahon had a positive attitude , listened to all my concerns and we developed a plan that we both agreed upon
December 18, 2024Noelle C.Verified patient
The staff were great and attentive. They got me prepped to be seen asap and thoroughly. Dr. McMahon was great, made the entire experience of establishing care and getting a pap smear as smooth as possible. She was great at communication and understanding, walked through everything as it happened I appreciated that. Already recommended her to some friends.
December 17, 2024Michelle N.Verified patient
I was seen right away. Dr. McMahon was friendly and took her time gathering my history and explaining her recommendations and next steps. The phlebotomist who drew my blood was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Very good experience. Professional staff. Physician very thorough. Way to many appointment reminders though via text and email, need to reduce

Dr. McMahon was great! She was super friendly and really easy to talk to. I was really excited for this appointment because of the reviews that I read and it did not disappoint. I'm glad to have found this practice!
September 25, 2024Deandrea W.Verified patient
Dr. McMahon is THE provider I have been looking to have as my Gynecologist for 20+ years!!! Dr. McMahon is kind, a great listener, results oriented, and is an advocate for solutions and her patients being healthy!! I am 47 years young and I have never ever had a Physician let alone an experience where a provider was as thorough or appropriately invasive as Dr. McMahon was. This was my first visit. I will return due to Dr. McMahon's support, friendly aura/presence as well as her genuine kind bedside manner and approach to medicine.

Excellent doctor!
August 29, 2023Bevin M.Verified patient
Dr. McMahon is wonderful! She has an excellent bedside manner and makes you feel comfortable discussing things that can be uncomfortable. She asks important lifestyle and health questions that spark conversations around topics you may not have considered. She is judgement free and an open book!

Had a really good experience. I came in as a first time patient to treat an issue. While Dr. McMahon hadn't seen me prior and was operating without a baseline due to that, she was very attentive and quickly seemed to understand the issue. She made me feel more at ease than I typically do at a gynecology appointment. I initially scheduled here to get in and see someone asap, but after that experience will likely be switching my care to Dr. McMahon.
July 24, 2023Morgan D.Verified patient
She expressed care and took her time asking questions to genuinely understand my concerns, which I appreciated. She was very kind and friendly. I definitely recommend her service!!
