Dr. Angela C. Bess MD

"I’ve been going to Dr. Bess for over 6 years now and up until my first pregnancy i had great experience. However when i found out that i had a miscarriage Dr. Bess handled this horribly. She wasn’t empathetic at all. They way she delivered the news was so harsh which made the whole experience even worse. I listened to her instructions and tried again to have a baby and once i went through the second miscarriage, it even got worst in the office as i noticed her huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes when i was asking her questions. Then they had the nerve to ask me to make another appointment for any other questions that i had! That’s as the day i told myself i will never visit her office ever again."

"Harrowing. This is by far the worst “doctor or gynecologist” practice I have experienced. I would describe doctor Bess as lacking warmth and bedside manner. She does not in any way communicate efficiently. She does not return phone calls when asked to numerous times. I once had to call an emergency line on a Saturday to actually get in contact with her. it should also be pointed it that it is also nearly impossible to make a call to her office and get through. It goes to a recording that I never got a returned call from; she’s clearly too busy. I needed a surgery and switched practices completely after dealing with deafening silence on her end, close to my surgery even, because she refused to return phone calls. It boggles my mind that a doctor would say that they’ve scheduled you for a procedure without ever checking in once with me to see if the massive procedure would be acceptable on a particular date and time. She then stated that due to me asking to move my records she had canceled the surgery she never bothered to confirm or mention to me to begin with. I felt no choice but to move practices because I had lost all faith in her ability toward me as a patient."

"I am finally switching to another practice after years and years of leaving my appointment with Dr. Bess feeling unheard and often just bad about the questions I asked (or wanted to ask but felt too rushed to do so). Every appointment I have had I have gotten the impression from Dr. Bess that she has better things to do. Every concern I have voiced has been dismissed. Communication is also extremely poor. I have gotten emails intended for ANOTHER patient. I have sent messages that have been completely ignored and that have gotten no response. It is so complicated to switch practices because it is easier to just keep going to the same one and not have to take a chance on a new doctor, but even just calling for my records to be faxed to the new office reaffirms my decision to switch. The receptionist answered gruffly and sounded annoyed when I asked questions about how to transfer my records. She did not even ask me why I was switching practices. I called the place I intend to switch to to ask them what the protocol for getting new patient records is, and the woman on the phone explained it calmly and clearly to me. What a huge difference. If you are thinking about trying Dr. Bess, don't. If you are currently a patient who feels rushed, ignored, and belittled, it is time to make the switch."

"Dr. Bess is absolutely amazing! I've been seeing her for about 6 years and I have always felt in the best of care. She always takes the time to explain and answer any questions I have. I love that she always calls me back her self for any concerns or questions I call the office with. Amazing personalized care. I highly recommend her"

"Dr. Bess delivered two of my children (by c-section) and everything went perfectly! She has been my OBGYN for over 10 years and is amazing. I don't know what the front staff did to upset others, but that does not change my opinion of Dr. Bess. She is knowledgeable, patient, and caring. And I have never had trouble with the staff."
