Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for Mid-Atlantic Women’s Care:

Pap Smear

I would give a five because Dr. Crabb and her team is amazing but it seems like there has been some kind of mixup with my insurance and now I have a bill that I know I shouldn’t have. I told the woman at check-in that for the pre work that was done online that I have the same insurance provider but it updated. She said that would be fine. When I went to checkout they said everything was good to go and that I could leave. I will have to call when the practice is open to sort it out.

Review for Denise Harris Proctor, MD

Pessary Insertion / Removal

Dr Pascioni was very patient and understanding when I asked about prolapsed bladder surgery. I was very anxious about it, but I do want the issue resolved. She referred me to a surgeon. I have a lot more confidence in having that procedure done.
