Optima Women's Healthcare

"DO NOT GO HERE. No degree of medical expertise is worth the hassle this office puts you through - changed appointments, long delays, billing errors, etc. So incredibly poorly run. It literally took over 8 years (and countless attempts, including in person) for the back office to process my change of address and when it finally went through, they charged me interest for nonpayment of bills I never received. I've called 3 times and emailed, asking for someone to call me back to discuss - and no surprise, no one has called. Every time I've been in, there is someone new behind the desk, once not even a real person. There are plenty of good OB-GYNs in town, save yourself the hassle!"

"Shame on you, Dr.Jerath. As a doctor, it amazes me that you have such little compassion for your patients. I've never received such horrible treatment at a doctor's office before and without the slightest apology or concern. I'll physically suffer for at least the next 6-8 weeks because you are too much of a coward even to try to have a conversation with me. You absolutely know this and tried to use the power of my appointment to intimidate me. Or maybe you were just behind, as usual, and it was easier for you that I just went away. I've been your patient for five years and have dealt with long appointment times, cancellations, and waiting in the lobby for up to an hour at a time. I've still always been kind and considerate to you and your staff. Making me wait 45 minutes in your lobby to turn me away; all the while, my insurance was completely fine and verified by the time I got to my car. Completely unnecessary! For the record, My insurance and I have paid you every four months for the last five years without delay. You should genuinely be ashamed."

"I never made it into the office. I scheduled an appointment as a new patient for HRT I had read very good reviews about Dr Jerath. They scheduled me for the following week.this was the first of May I was thrilled, I really needed to get in. They called back the next day said there was a scheduling mistake 1st available appt was 6 weeks out. I went ahead and took it. Which put me in June. A week before my appointment they called to reschedule me because the Dr had to do a C section at that time (which I totally understand) But when they said the soonest appointment would be August 6th. Another 6 weeks!!!!! It was apparent they did not care about me. Needless to say I found another doctor office that got me right in and they were great!"

"I would advise any woman who values their time and does not want to be subjected to high pressure sales tactics to look for a different practice. I waited almost an hour for my first appointment, but went ahead and scheduled a follow up. A week before that appointment, I received a call from Dr. Jerath's office stating that she was going to be out of the country and I needed to reschedule. When I realized I would not have enough medication to get me through to the rescheduled appointment, I called the office--when the doctor was supposedly out of the country--and none other than Dr. Jerath answered the phone. When my appointment finally came around, I waited OVER an hour to see the doctor and was then pressured to do blood work for Biote hormone pellets (I was 34 at the time) and was even asked if I was an "easy stick" because the normal phlebotomist was out, but her nurse could do it then if I was an "easy stick." I was never able to get an appointment for the insertion procedure because they don't schedule on Mondays or Fridays and only between 10 AM and 3 PM. I take mass transit into Denver for work, so the limited hours would have required taking off a whole day of work for a 30 minute appointment. I finally gave up trying to schedule an appointment and feel lucky that I didn't go through an unnecessary procedure, but was left on the hook for a nearly $300 lab bill. I am of the opinion that a doctor's office should be a safe place and not like a car dealership where sales are the priority."

"I love Dr. Jerath & her entire office. I’ve been going to her for close to 5 years now & she’s helped me through some tough times in my pregnancies, always with kindness and compassion. She also respects the decisions I make for my own health which is priceless. Sometimes, there is a bit of a wait to see her but it’s usually due to an emergency with a patient & having been that patient before, I appreciate that she stayed with me as long as I needed her. I hope I never have to go anywhere else!"
