Women's Healthcare of Morgantown

"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Prettyman and Dr. Herring. I had a great birth experience with them, even though things didn’t go as planned due to complications. They likely saved our daughters life with a fast acting approach and catching something other OBs may have missed. I always felt the utmost respect from them and they both always took time during my visits to explain each stage of pregnancy and what not. If I had a question or concern after hours, it was very easy to directly get a hold of one of the doctors. I had a c-section due to complications and the surgery was an absolute breeze and my scar is nearly invisible at this point due to amazing technique. I cannot recommend this practice enough, whether for pregnancy or general Gyn care and intend to have them deliver my second child as well. You won’t regret seeing them!"

"I heard wonderful things about the doctors but was never able to see one within the first several appointments and by that time I was pretty comfortable with the midwives, they are wonderful. Dr herring was at the hospital when we decided to have our son circumsiced. He joked about the legal parts of the contract and we believed he was pretty confident, even chuckled a little. He returned later to tell us, "He had scar tissue & the cut was uneven at four o'clock because he did not want to cut the tissue and cause more bleeding." Months after our child was born, learned that our son's cousin also had scar tissue and their doctor recommended that they see someone when they baby turns one because they were not comfortable. I assume they were able to tell that there is scar tissue, maybe that isn't always the case. Or maybe it's not even common enough to check before cutting. Hopefully it isn't, but maybe check with someone to have them look before sending your day old baby to be circumsiced, and to keep your child from having to go through it again. I would recommend them and go back to their offices, the ladies were lovely & my experience delivering was far better than I ever could have imagined."

"Dr. Prettyman and Dr. Herring are wonderful. Although my birth didn’t go as planned (needed a c-section), Dr. Herring did a fantastic job on my surgery, and my baby is 100% safe and healthy. Office visits were easy to schedule, I rarely waited to see my doctor, and each appointment I left feeling educated and prepared for what was to come. On the 1 occasion when Dr. Prettyman was running behind, the nurse gave me the option to see a midwife instead so I wouldn’t have to wait. The nurses and ultrasound staff do a great job listening to concerns and answering questions. I would 100% recommend this office if you are looking for OB care."

"I've seen the midwives with both pregnancies. However in the end I had to see the doctors. Aside from my personal opinions of how the midwives handle certain things, I have never had any major issues. Dr. Prettyman is awesome and I'd recommend them!"

"I'd been coming here for the past couple of years, always seeing Dr. Van Riper (who was wonderful and retired recently.) I came in for my annual appointment today and had a terrible experience -- the receptionist asked for my insurance card and as soon as I began handing it to her, she told me it was expired because she'd already checked it apparently (would've been nice to get a phone call about it then!) I just moved back to WV from another state and wasn't sure what insurance of mine is still current after changing jobs, etc. She was very brusque and unhelpful about it and when I started to offer her my other insurance card to see if they could check it, she snapped "I can't check those" before taking it back to her boss so they could call about it. Long story short, neither of them were current, which is obviously stressful as a woman trying to get an annual check up and prescription renewal. It would've been nice if the receptionist had at least been kinder and more understanding about it. I don't know that I'll be back."
