Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Wood went above and beyond to take care of us with the comfort and safety of delivering my 9.5lb baby via c-section back in fall 2022. I healed well and he ensured the process was smooth and comforting. People never forget the way you make them feel. I hope Dr. Wood is delivering my next c-section baby this late fall. Thank you for all that you do.

Was accused of doing cocaine while pregnant
While pregnant I was really sick to the point that I lost a lot of weight. I had to get a pic line in my arm to receive fluids and meds. I had blood drawn immediately after getting the pic line. It was either a few hours after or the next day Dr. Woods and a social worker walked into my room and said is there a reason why I have cocaine in my system. I had, have never used a drug in my life. It caused me so much trauma during my pregnancy, that I am now an advocate for women that cannot speak up for themselves when things like this happens. FYI they said that it was a false positive.

Dr. Wood was extremely informative and patient (no pun intended). He took all the time we needed to answer all of our questions and explained things in a way that we understood.

Excellent experience with Dr. Wood.
Very kind and professional, went out of his way to help me relax as I was apprehensive about the procedure. Excellent experience, he was explanatory and reassuring as he went through the procedure.

Went in for vaginal pain. Dr. Wood had performed a hysterectomy 3 years ago. No wait. Super friendly staff. Dr. Wood spent time with me after the exam and explained everything so thoroughly!

Dr. Wood Saved My Life
In 2016 I started hemorrhaging after giving birth to my daughter. The midwives and nurses couldn’t stop the bleeding. I remember people rushing around, someone next to me trying to keep me awake and my husband watching while he held our newborn. When the decision was made to get the on-call doctor to come in and try and save the situation, he was there right away, and within minutes, he found and stopped the source of the bleeding. I think about Dr. Wood every year on my daughter’s birthday and thank God for his life-saving skills. He is my family’s hero. Thank you Dr. Wood!

Compassionate physician
I’ve been going through a difficult situation for quite a number of years and had lost hope. I met Dr. Wood for the first time and felt very much listened to and treated with the utmost concern and respect. He asked a lot of questions, explained so much in a way I understood, and took a great deal of time with me to figure out a treatment plan. I’m hopeful for red first time in a long time and am really looking forward to working with him!

Dr. Wood preformed emergency surgery on me for an ectopic pregnancy. Everything happened very quickly but I felt safe under Dr. Wood’s care. He explained details and expectations then followed through as planned with my surgery. This was my first surgery and I’m so thankful to be under Dr. Woods care and his team that evening. Thank you for all that you do! We appreciate you.

During labor (which by true definition was labor) he told me 1. I wasnt in labor 2. If I cold hold off having my baby that would be best as he was too tired to deliver 3. Had to find a diagram to see when he could give me pitocin (cuz he's supposed to know that! He's a doctor of OB afterall) Then him and his midwife fought me on giving me an epidural or a drug to relax me as I had been painfully contracting for 3 days prior with no relief and I was in miserable pain. Worst experience with a doctor ever.

Dr. Wood is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! His professionalism and bedside manner are a unique rarity that I have encountered since moving here a couple of months ago. Dr. Wood was extremely gentle in his approach and sensitive to the topic at hand. He asked all of the important questions and listened intently as he gave me an opportunity to ask what was on my heart. I am thankful that an unfortunate emergency led me to his care.

I first met Dr. Wood approximately three years ago at Bella Nova Women's Health for a prolapsed bladder condition. I felt very re-assurred as he explained to me the causes and effects of my condition, and that a wait-and-see outlook was the best prescription for the time being. This past February, surgery became necessary, and my stay in the hospital for the procedure went smoothly. I want to thank Dr. Wood's for his outstanding work and friendly, courteous counsel. I highly recommend him.

I saw Dr. Wood in the office at Bella Nova, and then he was also the Dr. at the hospital who delivered my daughter in October 2015. I appreciate his straight forward answers and explanations to my questions. When I would ask a question, I knew I was going to get a real answer, and not something to just calm my nerves or make me feel better. He does not rush, but does not waste time either. My experience with Dr. Wood is a big part of what brought me back to Bella Nova for baby #2.

Dr. Wood was fabulous during my entire pregnancy and c-section. I would recommend him to family and friends. He took the time after work to come check on me post delivery and showed genuine concern about me as a patient. The entire staff at BellaNova is so friendly and caring and rarely make you wait more than 10 min at any appointment. I have been to other OB/GYN offices in the area and this one is the best by far
