Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor !
Love Dr. O. !!She cared for me durning my first pregnancy. I felt like I connect with her the way a patient and doctor should. I went to another doctor that i didn’t care for before meeting her. I had some nasty comments from strangers about me being little and petite. I wasn’t sure what to expect weight wise.. Dr. O made me feel better about my pregnancy and like I was always on the correct path. Will see her again to plan my next pregnancy.

Very caring doctor
Dr. Oehler was my OB for both my pregnancies and was always very caring. She always had answers for my questions and kept my health and babies health in mind before during and after pregnancies. I never felt rushed in my appointments. She knows her stuff and gentle with her words in tough situations. I trust her and am grateful to her for helping me bring both my children into this world.

Worst Doctor I ever had.
Christine is a terrible doctor. She's super condescending. She absolutely didn't think i should be having a 5th baby. She really tried to verbally and insultingly pressure me into letting her cut on my uterus while I was pregnant due to a spot she saw. I told her no. She called me a pain in the. I had a C-section with my twins first and then two vaginal births after.All great experiences with a previous dr who had retired. Oehler tried to refuse to allow me to have a vaginal birth. She tried her best to terrify me into scheduling a C-section. She kept using threatening and fearful language to try to get her way to force me into a C-section. She literally called me at my home and called me a pain in the butt. If I had been younger she could have bullied me into all the needless garbage she tried to put me through. There's more. Just do yourself a favor. Find a doctor who respects you as an adult and will at least try to do things the way you want. This was baby 5 for me. She had none.

From the moment I saw dr. Oehler, I felt judged and was spoken to very condescendingly. For 8 months she did not take our journey to be parents seriously. She quit in the middle of our treatment and charged us for pointless appointments. I thankfully found a place that actually cared and took our quest seriously. I would never recommend this doctor to any couple who is struggling with PCOS. We left this doctor feeling so discouraged. Maybe she is better with patients who don’t have issues

Dr. Oehler has been great! She has caught issues and healed them in a timely manner. I trust her with my care. She genuinely wants what’s best for you and your baby. She explains things so you understand what is going on which is helpful when being a FTM.

I doubt I will see her again. For being new to the state and for our initial visit, I expected a sit down conversation about my health and concerns. She rushed in throws my legs in stirrups asks me A question then rushes out. Very disappointed

Doesn't spend time with her patients, she just rushes in and out. I don't feel like she truly enjoys what she does. And office wise, turnaround time on callbacks (even to the triage line) is woefully slow. Staff does not communicate, lots of scheduling errors. Hard to recommend a practice of doc like this for such an important specialty.

I was recommended to Dr. Oehler from my husband's cousin and I am so glad I went to her! She is very personable and she explained things when I didn't understand them. Great bedside manner and her personality is awesome. We are currently trying for baby #2 and I have every intention of coming back to Dr. Oehler when we are successful.
