Patient Reviews
At Women’s HealthFirst, we greatly appreciate the many cards and letters we receive from our patients and their families, letting us know how satisfied they were with our care and often accompanied by pictures of their new baby! We are proud to share a few of those patient testimonials and baby photos below.
If you would like to send us your hospital photos with a Women’s HealthFirst doctor, we would love to display them online. You can email your photos to our practice administrator, Kimberly Williams, at kwilliams@womenfirst.net.
We value your feedback. Please leave us a review.
“My experience with Women's HealthFirst was excellent. I was high-risk, given my age – but everyone made me feel safe, from the first time I stepped into the office, through the delivery of my baby boy. Thank you, everyone!”
“I went to see Dr. Papa de la Cruz for a problem that was not pregnancy-related. She was straightforward and honest without being rude. She took my medical history and quickly assessed the problem, while suggesting additional tests to confirm that there was nothing serious occurring. She was very efficient and took the time to explain what was going on.”
“Dr. de la Cruz is very helpful in terms of any questions you might have. She gives you choices regarding treatments. I would not switch doctors. The entire team at Women’s HealthFirst is great! They all know what they are doing.”
“Dr. Anita Iyer has been my doctor for 4 years now, and I absolutely love her. She delivered both of my daughters. She is very understanding, kindhearted, and makes you feel as comfortable as can be.”
“I absolutely love Dr. Iyer! She delivered my first child. I had such a great experience, and she was very informative and helpful. At my checkup, she arranged it so I could get done quickly, so I could feed my 3-day-old. Dr. Iyer gives you lots of her time and is very personable.”
“Dr. Erwin Szela is an amazing doctor. From my abnormal tests 8 years ago to my very complicated, high-risk pregnancy a year and a half ago, he has taken very good care of me. He's the only OB-GYN I trust to take care of me and the only one I would ever recommend. He has performed three laparoscopic surgeries on me with great skill and wonderful bedside manner.”
“Dr. Szela is very professional and easy to talk to. He listens to you and addresses your concerns. Along with the delivery of my middle son, Dr. Szela performed my laparoscopic total hysterectomy. He informed me of the risks and what to expect once I got into the operating room. I recommend him for all your obstetrical and gynecological needs. Overall, I was satisfied with my visits; everyone in the office is nice.”
