    Overall patient rating for Women Living Well Obstetrics & Gynecology:

    Annual Well Woman Exam

    Lauren is very caring and makes sure she answers all your questions.

    Post-Partum Appointment

    Every visit at Women Living Well has been a positive experience. The entire staff has always made me feel welcome, heard, and valued. I don't feel like just a patient, but a person who's received care from excellent professionals. Dr. Hodges has been a major contributor to that experience! Her kindness and patience to hear and address any and all questions were a great comfort during my appointments leading to the birth of my son. She never failed to address my concerns or preemptive care I may need through pregnancy and beyond. The entire group have all demonstrated the type of care and treatment that patients deserve for best outcomes. I cannot recommend them enough! Their efforts and dedication to patient care and experience deserve recognition and reward. Seeing the practice expand has not only been seen positively as a patient, but as a former health care worker too. I hope this expansion allows the best work-life balances for the group, so that the mission of WLW can continue at such high standards and that the wonderful humans behind that mission can feel whole and fulfilled themselves.
