Dr Arya has been my doctor for over 10 years. She saved my life and helped me through a devastating period of my life. I trust her implicitly and will continue to see her until she chooses to retire.

Post-Partum Appointment

I believe that I was mixed up with another patient. Not sure if there supposed to be a postpartum check up of my body by the doctor, but that didn’t happen. The doctor asked me how I felt and spoke with me about birth control and what options I had. It was strange to me when the doctor mentioned taking “thyroid medication” I never have been on any thyroid medication which led me to believe that I was mixed up with another patient. I started researching what should happen at the 6 week PP appointment and none of the checkups happened to me. So I’m concerned now and waiting to call the office to get some information

Menopause Management / Education

Doctor listened but I had to wait for an hour to be seen.

Doctor is very attentive. She listened to my concerns and gave helpful feedback.

Annual Well Woman Exam

My appointment was at 12:30. Upon my arrival I overheard the front office staff talking about how the doctor was going to be upset because she was double booked. I was called back at 1:00 for vitals by a very nice nurse and then sent back to the waiting room because they didn't have a patient room available. At 1:15 I was finally brought to a room and seen by the doctor about 10 minutes later. My experience with Dr. Arya was great as always. Check out was a hot mess. The lady at the counter didn't appear to know what she was doing and it took me almost 15 minutes just to check out. I had to fill out a form to request records and she had me looking up additional things not on the form to make her job easier and further delaying me getting back to work. I understand that OBGYN appointments can often be unpredictable with deliveries but that was not the case in this situation. If I had be almost an hour late my appointment would have been canceled and I would have been charged. Front office staff play a huge role in making the patients experience as tolerable as possible. I wasn't dissatisfied because I love my doctor but I left very frustrated by the other processes of the appointment.
