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.

Very satisfied with the visit

Dismissive and rude
Dr. Moreland kept repeatedly trying to offer something I said I did not want. She was rude and dismissive of any concerns I had and to address my overall health. I would never recommend anyone see her if you'd like to be treated with respect and dignity. I've never been treated like this by a doctor and it is clear she lacks empathy and understanding of a patient's autonomy over their health. I got off of our video call in tears feeling like my concerns and choices were not valid. Most of the time I feel heard and considered during a visit with other health professionals at the same office. This is very disappointing and I will never make an appointment with her again.

While delivery was taking place she would only show up when it took 2 pushes for my baby to come out. She is unprofessional to say the most.

I am 36 weeks. I’ve been going to dr Moreland this whole pregnancy and I thought things like the fact she never asked about my birth plan, took an hour most days to see me, and made me feel really rushed were normal. Today I told her I wanted to talk about my birth plan and how I wanted an unmedicated birth and she told me that i don’t get a golden star for not getting the epidural. I never felt so discouraged. I started talking about why I wanted it and research I’ve done and she interrupted me to say that she’s the doctor. That she basically knows. Never ever did I think I’d be treated like that. Now I’m going to look for someone else.

Dr Moreland is great! She delivered my son, performed surgery while I was pregnant, and did my tubal and every interaction was great. She isn't a sugar coater by any means, which I truly appreciate. She's logical, factual, and to the point. She's confident and knowledgeable which made me really trust her and her expertise.

Dr. Moreland delivered my youngest child 15 years ago. At the time I thought she was great and had a positive experience with her. However, about a year later I had an appointment with her in which I was left in the waiting room for nearly 3 hours until her nurse finally told me we had to reschedule because she was stuck in surgery! It was complete disrespect for the value of my time and the fact that I was paying a babysitter for nothing! That's when I switched doctors. Fast forward to 2018 when my PCP, who had been doing all of my paps and checkups for the past 13 years told me I needed to see an OBGYN for some "lady problems" she was not qualified to address. I decided to give Dr. Moreland another try. The consultation was good, she sent me away with options for treatment. My issue worsened even though I had taken the steps she recommended so today I returned. She was RUDE and condescending, I left in tears. If you want a doctor who cares find someone else, she can't be bothered

I’ve been having a lot of infections during my pregnancy and haven’t been able to get a hold of the nurse in the office. I called after hours for an urgent concern and this was my phone call with her. Dr. Moreland- “Hello, you called the emergency line?” Me- “Hi! Were you able to listen to my message I sent?” Dr. Moreland- “Yes, I did and this is not an emergency.” First of all I didn’t call the emergency line. There was an option to call the emergency line and another option to call the on call doctor if you have an urgent concern. I pressed the option to call for an urgent concern because I haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone in the office and then when I finally listen to my voicemail it’s after hours. All I can say is she was a complete jerk to me and didn’t care at all about my concern. She ended the phone call by saying “I’m not going to answer this question right now. Call back during office hours.” She also made fun of why I was calling and really hurt me. She was rude!

I have had both of my children with Dr Morland. Both were high risk as I was put on bed rest and had pre-eclampsia. So, trust me we have seen each other a lot. She treated me like family and was able to explain everything to me and helped to calm my nerves. I have two healthy boys thanks to her!

Dr. Morland is amazing. She was able to explain everything clearly for me and my husband. We had many questions as this was our first. We ended up having to be induced due to hypertension, but always felt we were in the best hands with her. We would her recommend to everyone.

Love the lady. She delivered two of our children. Always spent the time with us that we needed. When we had our youngest daughter, my wife had some concerning bleeding. She quickly made time for us and was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

I was a patient of Dr. Moreland’s for 6 weeks while my regular OB was on maternity leave. I have had a difficult pregnancy and was nervous to be without my OB, but Dr. Moreland put me immediately at ease. She clearly and thoroughly explained results and answered any questions I had and made me feel like I was in good hands. She was very kind and obviously knowledgeable. I would recommend her without hesitation!

Dr. Moreland was very curt, rude, dismissive and had horrible patient relations. She was on call several times. On one particular occasion I was calling because I was having preterm contractions. She was extremely rude on the phone and acted like calling her was an inconvenience. (It's your job dr!) she was not helpful and didn't say anything about it. I decided to go in and luckily I did because they had to stop my labor at 34 weeks! I would never go to her!

Probably one of the worst doctors I have ever been to. She was rude, and dismissive. If I asked questions she would roll her eyes and hand me a pamphlet. Like "hello, what am I paying you for?!" Thinking of that, she over charges and basically does NOTHING! I was so upset, I didn't even want to pay, because I thought her "services" was a joke. I finally switched to another doctor/practice entirely! It wasn't until then that I got the treatment and care I deserved via The Birth Center.
