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.

I do not recommend this man to anyone. He told me I was being dramatic multiple times. I told him sex was extremely painful. He kept his diagnoses of me being dramatic. But after seeing another doctor, she found that I actually had a pelvic floor problem that required pelvic floor therapy. He is not thorough in any way whatsoever. He cares about his paycheck, not his patients.

He performed my hysterectomy, and I felt like suing him! He told me beforehand that my benign tumor was like something from the movie Aliens. Afterword, he spent about two minutes in the hospital checking me. After I went home, I was in extreme pain for months and couldn't reach him, nor did he leave an alternate number to call. It took almost a year to heal when it should have taken six weeks!

I would not advise any women on Medicare to go to this doctor. The ladies in the office DO NOT tell you ahead of time that because of the way they bill Medicare, your visit will not be covered. The doctor mentioned that Medicare “may not cover the cost of the Pap Smear” but I did not hear one word ahead of time that I would end up having to pay $200 on my own. Medicare DOES cover an annual Gynecological visit. It just has to be submitted to Medicare without a ”modifier” attached to the Medicare code. I called another OBGYN’s office to find that they DO submit properly to Medicare which would mean the patient wouldn’t have to pay more then their normal annual Medicare deductible. The office ladies where nice upon my visit, as was the doctor. He seemed to be very caring only to find out his main concern is his bottom line! Had they billed Medicare as other doctors offices do, I would have given them 5 stars. They are being very deceitful which is wrong!!! MEDICARE LADIES....AVOID THIS DO

Dr. Drollinger is the absolute best OB/GYN out there. At the very first visit regarding my pregnancy he gave me his personal phone number and told me to text him with ANY concerns I was having. Every worry, big or small, that I had he replied to almost immediately; sent me lab results as soon as they were in. As someone who had an abnormal experience with my first child it was a relief. He is thorough, friendly, and goes above and beyond every time. The office wait time is well worth it.

Dr Drollinger is honest, caring, and blunt. He saved my son who was a month early due to placenta abruption and agreed to no hands off (unless emergency emerged) with my two following labors. Hands down best doctor Ive had considering I had a handful my first pregnancy until I found Dr D's office.

Dr. Drollinger performed many procedures without my knowledge or consent when I was a young first-time mother at his practice, including an induction and an episiotomy. Both were unnecessary and I was not made aware of what was going on until after it had happened. He lied to me and told me that I was already in labor to get me into the hospital. He was dismissive with all of my concerns and I've suffered emotionally after my labor experience.

Absolutely the best obstetrician. Period. Furthermore he is an incredible man who truly cares about his patients and who's passion for what he does radiates. I spent 7 weeks in the hospital due to pregnancy complication and he came to visit me and encourage me every single day. He goes above and beyond in every aspect and I'm grateful to have had him in my life. He has delivered my 2 children and I trust him with my life. He's the best.

Creep. Touches inappropriately and makes jokes about how I used my breast to get my husband, not its time to use them for what they were designed for and other sexually inappropriate comments. There's always a 45 min wait and he just dismisses any Questions as hormonal anxiety. Stay away.
