ARH Women's & Family Health Center - Middlesboro

"DR. Blikley has terrible bedside manor. Also she should never 100% guarantee there is no baby and suggest an abortion Injection when infact there is a baby with a strong heartbeat during a second opinion. The emotion turmoil this doctor has put some people through is insane. I would never recommend her in a million years."

"If I could leave a zero I would I came to this finding out I was pregnant and excited my doctor was Dr. Blakely and at first she was really nice and I thought she was likable but as my appointments kept coming she kept telling me I had a blight ovium And at one appointment she even told me she was 89% sure I had one well that 89% Sure turned into 100 because I ended up Spotting so I ended up going to get an ultrasound and even the ultrasound tech at Middlesboro Hospital even told me I had a blight ovium I wasn’t interested in taking any medicines to remove this and as of right now I am grateful I never did Dr. Blakeley wasn’t very honest and open about my questions I had and she kind of talked over me and when I suggested that I might’ve been earlier than I thought because she thought I was seven weeks she basically raised her voice and said no I ended up going to Corbin hospital Because I was so convinced that I was miscarrying that I had scheduled a DNC only to find out that I am actually six weeks pregnant and I was too early, so not only did Dr. Blakely diagnosed me with something that she wasn’t supposed to unless she was 100% sure She also put me under a lot of stress and convinced me that I had no baby inside of me when I was just in fact a little earlier than she thought and now I have put myself at risk but thankfully my six week three day old baby has a strong heartbeat, and is healthy and I will never be going back to this facility again"

"I have been struggling with some medical issues for years now. I just kind of dealt with it after going to many dismissive doctors in the past. I decided to give ARH Women's health a try and wow!! I am so impressed. The first time I have ever felt heard about my issues. One appointment and I have a whole course of action to see what exactly is going on. Dr. Akers and her student were fantastic. Kind, caring, and truly concerned about their patient's health. They listened to every word and immediately got me referred and got the lab work/imaging I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Akers and ARH women's health! The front desk, check out, and nurses were also very kind and outgoing! So happy I found my place!"

"If you have an uncomplicated pregnancy then sure they might be able to handle it. But as soon as you have any problems arise, aside from probably GERD or morning sickness, then they are suddenly wayyyy out of their depth. Literally had to transfer to another hospital system 2 hours away to receive proper care. I apologize profusely to anyone who is unable to do what we did and needs actual care during their pregnancy."

"I’ve had a very positive experience with the ARH Women’s & Family Health Center in Middlesboro. When I first moved here, I was nervous about the quality and options for health care in the area, and was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. The receptionist are kind and helpful, the nurses are friendly and the nurse practitioners are very knowledgeable and thorough. I’ve never felt rushed during an appointment and they’ve always answered all my questions. All reports and results are quickly added to the patient portal and they’ve always called or messaged me promptly with instructions if there has been anything I need to follow up on. The office has recently been renovated and is clean. I would recommend this practice to a friend and anyone in the area."
