Erin Kathleen Buckley, MD 621 South New Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63141

"I used Dr Buckley for my 4th child, and a vbac. She was amazing, informative, patient, and kind. She did everything I requested throughout my pregnancy because I know my body best and I had ZERO issues and still continue to not have issues seeing her. She listens to me and helps me to make educated decisions based on my history and health. Most obgyn practices now are extremely busy so waiting if you want to see the actual obgyn and not a np is to be expected. I saw her as much as I could throughout pregnancy and saw nps when I needed to just get in and get out (which is normal for ANY practice nowadays). My husband and I were discussing having one more child (we only have one together, and my others are grown), and we will use her again if we do or I dont do a home birth."

"I had a horrific experience with Dr. Buckley. It started with waiting for hours on multiple occasions to see her for prenatal visits. This got so bad that I eventually requested all visits to be with an NP for as long as I could so that I didn’t have to take hours out of my day for a 5-minute visit. Then, I felt pressured into an induction, which I eventually agreed to, which was unfortunately a horrible experience that resulted in a C-section. I was induced on a Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and had my baby on Sunday at 5:50 p.m. I was told that Dr. Buckley’s daughter had a dance recital but that she would still be able to make it. I never received another update about Dr. Buckley’s presence. I never saw her from the time I was induced on Saturday through our discharge Wednesday morning. All hospital visits were an NP from her office, and then the OB who performed the C-section visited on my discharge day. I wish the above was the worst of my experience, which I could look past since I know she has a busy practice, but it gets worse. Dr. Buckley was not available for either my 2-week check-up or my 6-week check-up. Her calendar was full, apparently. At 2 weeks postpartum I was seen by an NP I had never seen before. My 6 week visit luckily was with an NP who I saw regularly while pregnant. It was also this NP who was the only person in the entire office who responded to my repeated messages and calls that I was really struggling with postpartum depression and needed urgent help (which still took over a week to get a response). Despite multiple messages on MyMercy to Dr. Buckley (that MyMercy showed were read by her or her staff), I never heard a word from her. The message was quite clear that once your baby is delivered, there is no time for the mother. Dr. Rosen performed my C-section and I have since changed my care to her. She’s wonderful, responsive, and most importantly, has treated me with kindness and respect after having my baby."

"Dr. Buckley is an amazing lady. I'm very picky about my doctors but she makes you feel at ease. She delivered my daughter on December 12, 2020. Dr. Buckley had told me she would be the 1st to hold my daughter and she was right. I'm very happy with the office and the people there."

"Loved my experience with Dr. Buckley, and I seriously wouldn’t want anyone else to deliver my babies. She took her time to answer my questions and made me excited instead of nervous about the whole process. She was always positive, professional, and present at every appointment. When my husband joined our appointments, she thoughtfully included him in the conversation and answered his questions too. When it was time to deliver, she was there in minutes, and things couldn’t have gone any better! Dr. Buckley was a great coach and very positive the whole time. I’m not one to write reviews about many things but I just had to write one about Dr. Buckley because of how truly great she is as an OB."

"Dr. Buckley puts her personal beliefs ahead of the care of her patients. She refuses to provide tubal ligation(s) and or hysterectomies to patients who she deems to be "too young, and have not had enough children," she also looks to the patient's partner for permission to perform such procedures - a patient's bodily autonomy should always be respected and NOT seen as something only your spouse or physician have say over. Dr. Buckley will deny a patient permanent sterilization based on her own beliefs, she also refuse to refer you to a provider who will perform these procedures, and in some cases she will lead on pregnant individuals by making them believe she will perform the procedure and then wait to refuse them said procedure once it's too late find another physician - ultimately denying her patients their bodily autonomy and preventing these patients from receiving the tubal ligation/hysterectomy /permanent sterilization they had requested and had been made to believe they would receive. She doesn't want her patients to regret their choices to have these procedures done later on in their lives. I can definitely say our biggest regret is not choosing a better physician than Dr. Buckley."
