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 was having concerns about a gynecological issue and my doctor was booked up for almost two months. Dr. Helliwell was able to see me in two days. He addressed my concern and was able t answer my questions. The entire staff went above and beyond in their care. Advanced Medical is my office of voice. I highly recommend D. Helliwell.

I wish I could put 0 stars!!! Horrific experience. DO NOT go here if you value your time at all. THE MOST redundant paperwork I have ever filled out, terrible front desk staff - so rude. I waited for 55 minutes to just go back and then was told there were still 3 patients in front of me for full exams. AWFUL experience.

I did transfer a bit late in my prenatal care to dr Helliwell , despite this I feel way more taken care of here than any other office. My needs are meet, the doctor is very professional and caring about my needs and concerns. I also got any test results back my next visit which I enjoy because that did not happen at my previous OB .

when I picked dr Helliwell to be my obgym I was not expecting to have such a good experience doue to the fact that I had medical/kern family. I was pleasantly surprised on how caring he was/is and how much attention he gave me. He has always been very respectful and answered all the questions I had. He delivered my son at 35 weeks in Jan of 2014 and I could not have asked for a better delivery. when I told him that the anesthesiologist was very rude he comforted me and did all he could to ensure

My experience overall at AWHC was enjoyable. The only thing I would say needs a little bit of improvement is the wait time while in the lobby. Falling behind schedule is understandable, however, I feel like it was something that happened too often.
