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.

Rushed & Manhandled
I was a new patient, first exam of the morning, and 10 minutes early. Despite this, I was not given time to complete my paperwork. The nurse would not let me decline the weigh-in despite my hx of ED. The doctor did not review my medical hx which includes a thyroid and bleeding disorder. She forcibly moved my body around instead of telling me what she needed me to do (ie., lay back, put arms overhead…). There was an observer for my exam but no one asked for my consent (she might not have been an observer - we were never introduced). Having been a new patient, I thought I would be told when and where I should go to check out. All I got was a knock on the door. Twice. The second time, the nurse said, “You can leave now.” If you’ve ever experienced SA, I would steer clear of this doctor. Additionally she refused to discuss test results with me.

I've seen Dr. Carlitz a few times and am currently seeking a new doctor. I've had a few issues that I saw her for and never received any type of follow-up call. I actually had to go look up my test results myself and then google what it meant. Also, don't stress over scheduling your next appointment for a time that is convenient. Do that when they call you three weeks before your appointment to reschedule because she's not going to be there that day. She's nice enough but sprints out that door the second she's done. There is no time for questions or follow up for any issues. She does the pap, writes a script, and is gone.

I’ve been working as a nurse for 5 years now with a little background knowledgw in advocating for myself... started off terribly, does not listen whatsoever, no way she read my chart. Even after explaining the situation multiple times, she still was not getting the point. I mentioned having anxiety in nursing school, she stated no wonder, of course. But I clarified i have been an RN for 5 years, as I was leaving her office, she told me to “stay in school” it was absolutely like a nightmare. Wish she was half as worried about her patients as her eyelashes.

She acts like the long-lost oldest Kardashian sister. She breezes in spends very little time dealing with the problem. She does not read charts. My experience with her was downright traumatic. She needs to take a sensitivity class. God help anyone using her for a pregnancy that goes wrong

1/2 Same as everyone else. This is NOT EVEN CLOSE to my first baby and she treated me like a child. Had a problem with my stitches previously and asked her to check the area out and she blew me off (I guess the pain and bleeding are in my head). I had a list of questions/concerns and she literally didn't let me ask anything and was just talking about other stuff. Jammed a speculum in there without telling me we were even doing that at all. Walked right out the door before I could say anything

She was very rude - made a few inappropriate comments and treated me like a child even though I am a 23-year old woman. She was also very dismissive of my symptoms telling me she had never heard of such a thing even though I've received a diagnosis from other doctors and she literally walked out the door before I finished talking. I have no idea how she's employed.

Rushed, rushed, rushed! Also told me a lot of inaccurate info about a specialty that is has nothing to do with OB/GYN. She is out the door before you even finish talking.

She was very uncaring and showed no interest in her patient. I was a new patient of hers and she spent less than 5 minutes with me. Worst healthcare experience I've ever had.
