Dr. Marianne Herrighty, MD

I saw Dr. Herrighty regarding fertility issues. Her whole demeanor felt like one big eye roll. She was very condescending and rude, she actually audibly scoffed once or twice. It’s obviously a vulnerable and scary thing to be talking about and she did nothing to help comfort me, but instead made it worse. I left feeling embarrassed & disheartened.

Dr. Herrighty is great, she created a comfortable space for me to ask questions and get my concerns addressed.

This lady has horrible bedside manners. I have been going to this group for 8 years ( had both my kids with them) and after this visit, I will never go back. All the other providers I have had at Contemporary Women Center have been great, but I will never risk seeing her again.Dr. Herrighty came in the room and right off the back started asking questions without even greeting me. She didn't even allow me to speak without cutting me off. Then just like that she was gone.. It felt very rushed and I felt like just another number. Definitely not the feeling I want from an OBGYN.

Dr. Herrighty is an amazing doctor. Always friendly, patient, and very professional. I trust her and I always feel comfortable.

Saw her twice for issues I was having concerning severe pain during sex. It would be hard to explain without going into a lot of detail, but after those visits I left feeling as though she was dismissive of my issue and she didn’t seem to have a clear protocol on how to figure out why I was having pain. I told her I thought maybe I was perimenopausal even though I’m a bit young for it, and I asked for blood work. She told me that wouldn’t help and wouldn’t agree to it. I also found her abrupt and a bit condescending. Fast forward four months later, after I was able to get in with a doctor who was highly recommend it to me, that doctor agreed to the bloodwork, and lo and behold I am actually menopausal. This doctor has recommended an estrogen ring for insertion and tells me this will be a game changer. I’m waiting to see, but I left my appointment with a lot more confidence in the doctor and a feeling of affirmation of what I was experiencing.

Horrible, unprofessional, dishonest, wacko. I was kept waiting, ready to be examined for 35 + mins. At 25 mins in, I went out in the hall to call & examining asst. Abbie (who asked what I was doing that evening, telling her I got work to do) FINALLY responded to claim that the MD was in a particular rm examining someone. The office was awfully quiet [ I got a call an hour b4 the 6 PM appt ] After another 10+ mins of quietness, I walked into the hall where I heard not a sound from THAT rm. I walked back to hear the MD say she's about to come. After another few mins, I went back out which she must have been listening & again told me she's coming. Told her, I'll resched, am leaving & got dressed. When I opened the door, she appears. Told her again, I gotta go to work, I'll resched. The front desk asks if I'm getting an u/s. Ha? Asked her what time it was and she said 6:35 (PM). Told her I wasn't seen, games were played. She offered an appt. Never!

Excellent doctor. The bloodless hysterectomy surgery was a great success. No pains. I absolutely recommend her.

Dr. Herrighty has awful bedside manner and is honestly just a rude person. My first appointment with her was a bit awkward and stiff but I chalked that up to it being my first prenatal appointment during my first pregnancy. Later on in my pregnancy I gained more weight than is recommended and she very coldly told me I would be “unable to lose the weight after pregnancy” and that I needed to stop “snacking all day and get some exercise” which is wildly insulting and rude. If she had just said that excessive weight gain had certain risk I would have understood but her fake way of showing concern and blatantly calling my lazy was uncalled for. During later appointments she continued to have an abrasive personality and a condescending attitude. I would never recommend her to anyone and shes lucky she works in an office with such nice and professional other doctors or I don’t think she’d be able to stay in business.

Dr. Herrighty's bedside manner is can be pretty awful. During some prenatal appointments she was pleasant and answered questions thoroughly. However, during labor and postnatal visits she was impatient and very nasty, to the point of being quite cruel to a person who had just given birth days prior and had a routine medical concern that did not require much other than a quick exam and reassurance. Although I do not question Dr. Herrighty's medical judgment, I would absolutely avoid this physician if you prefer consistently respectful treatment, particularly around a sensitive time.

I have never had a worse experience with a doctor in my life. My husband & I found out we were pregnant for the FIRST time and due to how far along I was, I had to be scheduled with her because my gyno was not available. Overall, her bedside manner was atrocious, she was condescending &we felt rushed. We were also told that “asking questions was not for this appointment” & left with the mindset that we would probably miscarry. I pray no one has to deal with such an awful confirm pregnancy appt.
