The Woman’s Group

I had my first appointment at the Lutz location yesterday. I was extremely impressed with everything from the cleanliness and appearance of the office, to the smooth flow and routine they have in place from the time you arrive until you leave, and most of all, with the (all female) staff. Every single staff member I interacted with portrayed professionalism and genuine friendliness towards patents and each other. I highly recommend Dr. Crooke, who I saw and was very pleased with. She has a friendly and warm personality along with a passion for her job all while portraying the confidence you want and need in a Doctor. While she obviously knows her job, she is not at all intimidating and welcomes any questions, then takes time to explain them in ways that will best help you as a patient. She broke down that uncomfortable Doctor-​patient barrier during the exam by explaining each step and then talking to me about whatever as if I were a friend. It literally felt like I was at my hairdresser and the vulnerability typically felt while you lay there exposed was completely gone thanks to Dr. Crooke and her amazing skills. I’m in my 30’s and have a unique gynecological history so have seen a lot of Doctors over the years and Dr. Crooke (and this office) is literally one of the best I’ve ever been to. There were no extra charges or extra copays as this was a standard yearly check-​up so I was a bit confused by some of the other reviews saying they got charged more because they were considered a speciality office. I know they provide extra services but for a typical well woman visit (exact same procedures as anywhere else) everything from billing my insurance to payments is as standard as any other office.

This is the first OB/​GYN I’ve ever been to that I like. It only has female employees and that’s a big plus for me. Previously, I went to male doctors and I just wasn’t comfortable with that. The lobby is very posh and cushy. The staff is friendly. I usually see Dr Borodo. She is fantastic, caring, knowledgable, gentle, and friendly. I can’t speak for the other locations (I see they have low ratings) but this one is superb and because of that, I have been a patient there for years. I live in Tampa, near the zoo, and it is well worth the drive for me.
