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.

Invalidating and self focused
I delivered my first child with Dr. Fuchs. Waiting for appoints was always an hour plus but that was not my big problem. During delivery, Dr. Fuchs paid more attention to keeping her shoes clean, her students, and my husband than she did to me. She said things like “if you’re yelling you’re not pushing hard enough” and told my husband she would stitch me tight for him. I was shocked by her coldness and how she treated me not like a human person. I would never deliver with her again and in fact I switched to midwives.

Thank You Dr. Fuchs
Dr. Fuchs has given me exceptional medical care for more than twenty-five years. I recently had a medical concern and Dr. Fuch’s medical assessment of my condition was in target. As a result, she referred me to a specialist and I am doing much better. She takes time with her patients, is very thorough and sensitive to the patient’s medical and emotional condition. I am thankful to receive such excellent care.

Amazing doc
I recently went to Dr. Fuchs' office and had amazing care! Her staff was courteous, helpful and respectful. I was not rushed through (like many other doctors do). Instead, Dr. Fuchs spent a generous amount of time with me in her office after my exam explaining and answering all of my questions. She is an amazing doctor that I would highly recommend!

I don't know her personally. I am a patient of a doctor that are affiliated with the hospital who recommend me. I called to make an appointment in July. was told my insurance plan was accepted, Had to rescheduled my appointment in August to September. Received a call confirming my appointment and to bring my insurance card, ID and $30.00 cash only. Finding parking was difficult and eventually had to use the hospital garage. Arrived on time, gave the secretary all the documents and filled out some forms. The secretary asked me to wait because she needed to ask Dr. Fuchs if she accepts my insurance. The secretary returned in front of patients said to me "Dr Fuchs said she do accept my insurance". What a waste of this seventy years old woman time not to mention the embarrassment and the money I paid for parking my car. It would have been professional and courteous if the Doctor would have called me in her office and apologize. I waited two months for this appointment.

10 years ago, at 5 1/2 months pregnant I had my 1st scheduled prenatal appointment with this dr. It was scheduled weeks in advance and like most mothers I was excited to hear my baby's heart for the first time. After waiting 1 hr to see Dr Fuchs she (herself) turned me away because I was $9 short for the copay. I had a checkbook and credit card, but she wanted cash. She was unrelenting and callous. To this day I am in shock that a OB-GYN would treat a pregnant woman this way. Shame on her!

When it came to actually realizing a patient had cervical incompetence, it was too late.

I saw Dr. Fuchs quite by happenstance as her partner, with whom I was scheduled, had to deliver a baby. I was delighted with Dr. Fuchs. She was attentive, compassionate and sympathetic. I would and have recommended her to friends and family.
