I really wish the nurses would do med rec at every visit. I realize I come weekly but even before I was weekly they weren’t really getting reviewed. At the very least, I feel the the receptionists could give me my list to review prior to seeing the nurse and doctor. My appointment was on a Friday and I was supposed to increase a medication dose on Saturday. When I went to increase on Saturday, I realized that the medication they increased was actually changed to a different medication all together. No one mentioned that part at my appointment. Im glad I was able to call the nurse line and they spoke with the doctor on call to get me an answer until I can call the office on Monday. It’s just disheartening as a patient to have to go through that added stress. I think Dr. Smith is very nice and the nurses I dealt with at my most recent visit were as well. Just as most of the other doctors and nurses have been. I just feel like maybe not seeing the same provider and nurse every visit may be causing some gaps in patient care. There is definitely room for improvement.

Dr. Megan Smith is very thorough. She listened. She’s so professional. Her assistants are as well too. All the girls at the desk, they were just so kind and helpful. And set me up for my next appointment easily. Thank you.

My appointment lasted over an hour solely based on wait time. My appointment was at 3:15 and I did not go back with the nurse until 3:30 and then I did not even see my doctor until 4:05. I felt that the speed of service could have been better.

New patient- so I had to mostly explain my medical history rather than them being able to review it on paper.

I felt very heard and understood when it came to my concerns about mental health when the baby comes. Dr. Smith was very kind and reassuring.

It made me want to never go back!! I sat in the waiting room for MUCH longer than i needed and then I sat in the patient room waiting for the doctor to come and only repeat what the nurse AND even the ultrasound person already told me. I’m a mother and a very busy person and you guys waste so much of my time.

This appointment was scheduled June 18th. Days before I got multiple calls from the department. Then I received a text asking if I could change my appointment from 1 pm to 10:45 am. Once I arrived to the office for my appointment at 1 the receptionist said “we called to see if we can switch the appointment time. I’ll see if the doctor could still see you” thankfully she could but I felt like my appointment was made over a month before & it was unprofessional to try to squeeze me in another time last minute then act like I was an unimportant patient when I arrived at my original scheduled time.

I really like Dr Smith’s demeanor and sincerity, and she’s a compassionate person. I also appreciate that she asks if I feel safe at home – you can tell that she really cares about women and her patients. I also had my mammogram and the tech is very nice, and very efficient at what she does. The mammogram was the easiest one ever; I didn’t experience any discomfort this time, at all!

I have never been dissatisfied with any of my doctors at Marietta Memorial and so, everything is kosher with me. I don’t have any problem with anybody. Thank you.

Dr. Smith was very easy to understand when she was explaining what was wrong and how to fix it. She will be my new gynecologist.

Yes, I would like to say that the waiting hours in the waiting room are ridiculous. I waited like, I was in there for 3 hours I think. Just saying that the waiting time could be cut down. That would be an improvement. Thank you.

This was my first time meeting Dr. Smith and she was great! She was very compassionate and listened to me. She made sure to spend all the time I needed with her. The only complaint I could have is that we sat for at least 20 minutes after the nurse checked me in waiting.

There seems to be some difficulty with information from department to department being shared, the ER typed in information I gave them but then when I got the my doctors appointment it hadn’t been updated. Example they still had my parents number instead of mine for contact and that I was now married. I double checked my account information after downloading my charts and updated it myself but other then that Dr. Smith and her office were very kind and professional to me during this difficult time.

I saw the resident physician and I was very comfortable with her. She took her time and we talked, it was a pleasant experience. She was very kind.

Dr. Smith and Dr. Carey were outstanding. Dr. Carey took time to run through my medical history and explained a lot of pertinent information to me. It was also my first ever visit to the OBGYN and both Dr. Smith and Dr. Carey made me very comfortable and well-informed. Dr. Smith explained all my possible options for medication and made a great recommendation.

My only complaint is that I was taken back to the exam room at my appointment time and ended up waiting in the exam room for 20-30 minutes before the provider came in for my appointment.

After I was taken into the room to wait for Dr. Smith come in, I thought it was a very long time it’s 45 minutes and I just I felt that was a pretty long time to have to wait.

This is a very new experience for me, and so was seeing Dr. Smith as a provider, but she was amazing. She was very reassuring and helped put my mind at ease, letting me know that she supported me 100% and what was best for us. I will absolutely be seeing her again when available!

So far Megan Smith has been awesome. Answered questions about a problem i have had for 15 years or more that no other provider has helped with. She has an awesome bedside manner and seems very knowledgable.

I thought I was having a miscarriage and Denay got me in within an hour of me calling and ordered the ultrasound where we could see that everything was okay. I’m so grateful for Denay’s care and her seeing me so quickly and getting reassurance that everything was okay. She’s a God-send.

It was upsetting that my health records didn’t show my previous pregnancy. She didn’t know about the gestational diabetes until I mentioned it. She said my records didn’t have that listed .

Dr. Smith & Makenzie were great as usual. Dr. Smith spends plenty of time and makes sure you understand the education and have ample time and opportunities to ask questions.

I like MGA and if I have another baby I’d like to be with them but the wait time is always ridiculous. I’m considering going elsewhere for yearly exams because a 90 min wait for a 5 min appointment is unreasonable and it happens nearly every time I go. They have got to learn to manage their time better. I waited for an hour in the waiting room and 30 min in the room. If you are running that far behind call people and ask them to come in an hour later, I had to use an extra hour of leave and miss my lunch break to accommodate their poor scheduling.

Megan was down to earth and made me feel welcome to their office. Her staff was welcoming as well. The lab tech was so slick with needle that didn’t feel it. Definitely a provider I would recommend

I had the best possible experience. Everyone was so kind and cheerful, and they just made this important appointment feel easy. This was my first time meeting Dr. Smith and I left feeling confident and at ease. She, Mariah (I apologize if this is spelled incorrectly), and everyone I encountered at this appointment were amazing! I will continue to use this provider and will encourage my friends, as well. I am completely satisfied and am looking forward to working with this group of outstanding individuals in the future. Thank you!

I don’t believe my time was valued there. I waited an hour and a half for a 10 minute appointment. The lady at the front was not very nice, I was so confused on where to be helped and she just pointed at a door and didn’t speak it was weird
