Fresno Women’s Medical Group

I had been visiting this location for a year and I finally stopped seeing them because their receptionist are rude. They have no understanding of client care. Their persons in charge of billing, are worse! But if roles were switched, I bet they’d want to be treated fairly. Anyhow, my last conversation with them was about a copay I was completely unaware of, and they sent to collections. They didn’t even contact me to let me know it had to be paid. Regardless, shouldn’t copays be collected at time of visit, like your little sign in the waiting room says? Your fault. Yet, I’m the one having to deal with collections now. The doctor I had was fantastic. Everyone else sucks. Therefore, I have to go somewhere else. If you’re ok with putting up with women that are always waking up on the wrong side of the bed, just to see a good doctor, go crazy.

Started coming here when I became pregnant. Everyone is great from the front office all the way to the doctors. Dr Kopacz and NP Christy Kelley I saw regularly. They were both great. Dr Kopacz was not at my birth but her on call dr, Dr Mason was great! They made sure all my questions were answered, and helped insure I had a happy healthy baby boy :) I only had a long wait once or twice and it was when there were Drs leaving the practice or an urgent walk in, which I totally understand. I will keep this dr as long as I can! I recommend early morning or right after lunch appointments to beat the crowds in the waiting room!

To I am Q’s review… I believe you posted about the wrong office… Dr. peters, Rosie and Val work at Alfred peters and Kristin kroeker’s office. I also am a patient and they are extremely competent, knowledgeable and friendly unlike other offices… Maybe you should post the correct review on the correct office site because it’s not Fresno women’s medical group…

I was recommended here by a friend and I am so happy that I go here. It’s worth the travel time! From Rosie to Val, to the Dr. Peters, EVERYONE treats you like a person, more like family. Yesterday I went in at 11 am and was out in 20 minutes! I was able to do all of my procedure in less than 20 minutes from beginning to end. I couldn’t have been happier. I left work and came back within my lunch hour.
I won’t go anywhere else, they have a loyal patient for life.

We love the providers we’ve worked with here. My wife switched just after giving birth to our first daughter because Dr. Linscheid ended up delivering her! We’ve stayed even through their move up here to Herndon. She has been amazing! Dr. Linscheid has become extended family in her service and dependability. She is so caring and seems to enjoy seeing our daughter! She shares the same excitement with us seeing our daughter grow! When we have a concern, she comforts us with her knowledge and attention to detail.
When we started planning our second baby, we knew where to come. Dr. Kopacz has been taking care of us all the way through this pregnancy and we’ve been blessed with her and her staff.
We really like Christy Kelly, NP. She has been a blessing, walking us through our second pregnancy; answering all of our questions and comforting us through all of our concerns. She’s able to clearly communicate the journey of pregnancy and we feel well taken care of when she’s in the room with us. It’s clear that you are her priority and focus when she’s with you and she does a great job making sure you feel well taken care of.
I am ok with these providers being a few minutes late sometimes. I wouldn’t want any of them to leave another patient without giving them the same quality of service that they provide us! For the most part, the office staff will let us know if they’re running late a few minutes. It’s a really classy move!

I used to be a patient. I left because of the narrow minded elderly PA (I forgot her name) and because of Dr Newl? I don’t know how to spell it but she was so rude, snobby, racist unprofessional and an overall a$$hole. I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy here. Most of the Medical Asst. act like they haven’t a clue what to do. And the wait was horrible, 2 hours for a routine ob appt?! Now I understand emergencies do happen. But every FREAKIN visit?! Come on, don’t book so many appts in one freakn day ya greedy b@$tards!

When I first got pregnant I had no clue what to do. I found this place on Google and I’m so happy I did. For me, it was literally a God-​send! They helped me get medi-​cal and find a pediatrician. Among so many other things they guided me through, they also provided me with compassion without treating me like a child. They are open and honest and will talk to you about anything. They answer any and all questions you have and never judge.
The office is so clean and new. The people in the front are so nice! There is one girl especially, I don’t know her name, she was always so happy! I had 2 appointments in 1 day, one in the am and one later, she was STILL happy and cheerful later in the day. It wasn’t an act! She’s just really like that!
I recommend getting your appointments early in the morning to beat a crowd. For some ultrasounds they refer you to another doctor and I would recommend dr.woods. there is also a quest diagnostics right next door to do your blood work done. The labor and delivery will be done at clovis community hospital which is all I could’ve asked for in a pregnancy experience.
I had all 3 babies with dr. kopacz and fresno women’s medical group. I love them there and would never. consider changing or going elsewhere. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know who is pregnant.

DON’T COME HERE. Horrible care. Every time I go, I have to wait almost an hour. I have had to see several different doctors because they kept misdiagnosing me.

SO incredibly unprofessional. PA Christy Kelly had me waiting 28 minutes in the exam room for an appointment the staff told me would take 30 min. If you are a working woman, find another place. There is NO respect for your time here. Made an appointment for 2:00. They don’t have late afternoon appointments available. The reminder call said it was 2:50. Rules are you get there at least 30 min early. I arrived at 1:35. The ladies up front were nice. I’m a teacher, so, it’s a project to go to a doctor’s appointment before school lets out. I have to jump through hoops– fill out paperwork, schedule my absence online, get my supervisor’s signature, arrange for other teachers to cover my class, spend hours making lesson plans appropriate for a sub, photocopy packets for the students, etc. So, I made an appointment with my GP for later that same day. I waited the 28 min of the 30 min appointment just for her to show up and realized I had to leave or my next appointment would be cancelled. Ms. Kelly comes in 28 min after I’m sitting there with no clothes on. No apology. No «excuse me.» Nothing. I ask her if she can do an annual in 2 min. She replies «I can try.» Then sits down with my file as if I have time for a chat. I told her that her behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful. She said «I’m working as fast as I can.» Really. I go to Dr. Emami now. He does annuals for women himself. Not a PA. He’s kind, respectful, concerned, patient, and current in his field. Yes.

Everyone at this practice is friendly and comforting. The front desk is always wonderful when you check in and out. The greet you with a big smile and they make sure to say goodbye. I appreciate all they do there.

If I could give 0 Stars I would. Incompetent NP, very unpleasant experience, and when I called back with my concerns, my issue didn’t get addressed. Lunch break is more important to them than their patients. Would never go back there ever again, Mary Gomez NP very incompetent, and ROUGH, you will be sorry if you see her.

Pros:
I had no complaints regarding the professional services of of PA Kim Harris. Professional, caring, and appts were kept on time. I actually really liked her.
Cons:
Office practices. They assign you to an NP under a physician, which I didn’t mind, but in the almost 3 years I was a patient, my assigned physician left, the NP I saw at my last visit left (my original NP was out sick that day), and my chosen NP I saw had also left the practice. Why is the turnover so high?
Furthermore, I was only notified that my provider was gone after an extended phone call and a transferred call when they had no clue who I was. What did you do with my chart? I was an established patient…
I didn’t appreciate not being notified when my provider left. I didn’t appreciate the uselessness and disregard I received from the office assistants while I trying to make an appt. The initial employee I talked to, just kept saying I don’t know, I’m new. The second employee wasn’t very helpful either. They said I could make an appt with a third provider, and when I asked about that person they referred to the website. Well your website says «information coming soon». Thanks for nothing.
This is a huge office with many different providers, heavy staff turnover (makes you wonder why providers leave), and run like a disjointed factory.
I am not going back.

Our experience was with the North Office, under the care of Dr. Dabbs (and NP Nancy). Specific care was adequate, however in the initial discovery visit when questions were asked was met with «we have a process, wait until the visit assigned to deal with that question.» If you ask about Cesarean rates, be prepared for a lot of defensive pushback (How dare you ask a medical professional with far more experience than you to discuss their c-​section rate!) Initial early pregnancy visits will be with the NP (ours was excellent) who will act as a liaison for your Dr. until later visits. Do not expect to see your doctor outside of the last few visits. In those visits, you will listen and not speak (don’t forget, they have a plan for you, regardless of your own birthing plan!)
We ended up presenting some potential complications with elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine. Little of the true impact or risk of this was discussed with us and the whole issue came off as a CYA measure for their organization. I get it, people sue, you don’t have a choice but to protect your organization. But for the love of god discuss it with us first! Somehow in a weeks time we were transferred to the care of a specialist with Children’s Hospital, and pressured to induce at 34 weeks (which happened). There was little to no explanation of the reasoning behind this at the time, and the rush of circumstances left a feeling of emergency, panic and medical necessity that all but removed any initial expectation of our birthing plan.
— We did not deliver with the doctor we built a relationship with.
— We did not deliver at the hospital we planned to. (The latter led to our child picking up a staph infection while in their NICU that extended our stay by 4 weeks. The numbers don’t lie — take a look at infections at each of the primary medical facilities in town. There were massive differences in where we ended up and where we planned and paid to be. We did not end up there because of medical necessity, but because of administrative BS between FWMG and the doctor they chose to refer us to. This was wrong on a number of levels.)
Because our care was handed over to another doctor at 34 weeks, we sought to be refunded in part for the up front fees paid to the office for L&D. This became an absolute nightmare and the office staff gave nothing but excuses and pushback for FOUR MONTHS until we were forced to threaten suit to finally resolve the issue (who makes a client do this in order to resolve a small administrative matter?)
Overall our pregnancy felt like a medical condition that was to be cured with a template treatment on rails. Even that was accelerated into an non-​elective Cesarean at 34 weeks that was not explained adequately and performed by staff and doctors we did not know.
After you read the online reviews, good and bad, talk to your friends and neighbors about the pressure they received for early induction and c-​sec (from FWMG or any other). Our experience is not unique, and is not the way a pregnancy should be experienced. If you’re unwilling or unable to take an active part in your pregnancy and want the rails experience, by all means go for it. We did not, attempted to be more active in our care, and were «put in our place» for it. We made the mistake of sharing our need for care with a business. Good luck out there.

I’ve been with this practice for 8 years and they have seen me through 3 pregnancies, and I’ve had nothing but good experiences. Kelli Beingesser is my doctor, and she is a very down to earth, easygoing person. I often see her nurse Pam and she is great too.
I’ve visited each doctor and everyone was caring and polite. 5 stars is easy!

Great pediatricians

Never even called me back to set appointment. And before they even transferred me to the new patient coordinator they demanded to know what insurance I had. When I told them I had some very specific issues I wanted to discuss with a doctor the receptionist asked if would be transferring my care to them. When I responded, «possibly», the receptionist rudely repeated, «possibly?» I could almost see her eyes roll through the phone. Anyway, I left a message for the «new patient coordinator» and never received a return call.

I love my DR. and all the staff there. They are very pleasant and I’m glad i switched. I switched when I became pregnant.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences at this office. The schedulers were nice, and so were the front desk workers. Scheduling an appointment was easy and I didn’t have to wait months to get in. I also requested Dr. Beingesser, and they accommodated my request with no problem.
Dr. B. has to be one of the best doctors I’ve ever dealt with. She has treated my mom for years, and she’s also been very happy with Dr. B. She’s got one of those personalities that immediately puts you at ease, no matter how nervous or uncomfortable you are. She’s funny and personable, and took time explaining the details of my surgery, which I appreciated. She’s one of the few doctors I’ve dealt with who didn’t rush through my exam and then quickly shuffle me away. She took time to answer all my questions, then ask if I had more. When I said no, she gave me her email address so I could ask questions if any came up.
My surgery went well, and although I had some complications after, Dr. B. still made me feel comfortable. I’ve never, ever had a doctor call several times to check up on me. After my surgery, she called my partner and I several times to reassure me and make sure I was doing OK. I really appreciated that.
My follow up appointment went well, too. She was nice enough to give me some free samples of medication, which I also appreciated. When I was upset and having a really bad day, she walked me all the way out to my car. How many doctors do you know who really take the time with their patients like that?
I would really recommend this office. Even though exams and surgery are never enjoyable, this office makes things a whole lot better.

I’ve had the most wonderful experiences with Dr. Christine Lopopolo. she’s very passionate about her job. she cares about her patients. she took her time explaining details of my surgery. l was scared for my life. she was comforting during those weary days. three weeks after my surgery today. l feel like a brand new person! :) Dr. Lopopolo was strongly recommended by my primary care doctor for 16 years! wow. had to wait 6 mos on list before l could her. lm glad l did.

I have had nothing but great experiences at this office. They have always been compassionate, and treated me and my partner very kindly. That means a lot to me too, as some places treat you like crap, once they realize your gay.
When I had my hysterectomy the doctor explained everything before and after the procedure. She treated my partner with respect and answered all of her questions and concerns as well.
The nurse practitioner that I’ve seen on follow-​up visits has been wonderful as well. She has been extremely patient with me, and listened to my fears and concerns. She answered all of our questions and made me feel completely at ease.
I would recommend this office anyone.
