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.

Worst experience of my life!
Terrible! Told me I was having an ectopic pregnancy on my first child. He misread the ultrasound and told me to schedule a removal immediately and frightened me as he explained that I would die if I didn't act quickly. It was a Friday so I had to go to the ER. I incurred a huge hospital bill but fortunately, I found out my baby was fine. Worst experience EVER!!! Doctor took no accountability after this event occurred.

Dr Low is a great doctor. He studies the latest research on women’s issues & communicates that information to his patients. I trust his knowledge. It’s refreshing to have a Dr who takes the time to answer questions & at the same time has answers. He’s a doctor who pays attention.

Dr. Low has a comprehensive approach to his patients which includes issues beyond his specialty. His evaluations includes all concerns he may have about a patient's overall health. He recommends a healthy lifestyle including follow up visits to primary care physician suggesting additional blood work or tests. He backs this up with recent studies/findings in medical articles. I believe his interest in my health has changed needed prescriptions from other health care professionals, therefore, improving my health when others may have missed necessary (serious) changes. Thank you Dr. Low!

My visit is always a pleasant and comfortable visit with Dr. Low , I’ve seen him for approx 30 years ! Even though he’s never been in my network even from the beginning I’ve always paid whatever the out of network cost it is ! He is by far the most thorough dr I’ve ever seen , he takes the time to go over all your medical concerns or questions! I love that he has always been a health advocate for me over the years , making sure and holding me accountable for my nutrition and exercise needs ! He’s amazing , he’s professional and genuinely cares about each and everyone one of his patients! I have moved and will continue to move wherever he is in practice! Excellent Dr. ????

I am a 28 year old woman and I had the best experience with Dr. Low! He spent 20 minutes talking to me about all my health concerns before doing my Pap smear. Cracked jokes with me and made me feel extremely comfortable prior to the exam. He is so very caring and knowledgeable, he knows far more than any doctor I have met. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend!

Dr. Low is always very up-to-date on the latest in medical advances and takes time to explain. He is very attentive to his patients and very understanding. In November 2017 he diagnosed me with breast cancer (I was a Kaiser patient for a couple of years and they did no preventative testing whatsoever ). Dr. Low understands my concerns about bc recurrence and is always available to address those concerns, when I was stressed out about attest one and a half years ago, he called with the results of that test after office hours. He is such a caring doctor! I am blessed to have him as an OB/GYN.

I felt very comfortable to ask all the questions I had and felt I received a thorough exam and some good suggestions to try for what I came in for. Liked very much that I was given things to try that are doable and didn’t go away with a recommendation for surgery before trying alternative treatments, diet change and no new meds. Did not feel rushed.

It is a rarity nowadays to find a doctor like Dr. Low. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and gives you 110% of his time and feedback. He is not the "15 minutes or less per patient" doctor that you find in far too many practices these days. He is up on the latest research and makes sure that you are knowledgeable about the pros and cons of certain medicines and procedures. He wants the best for his patients health and makes every effort to treat the whole person.
