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.

Top Notch OBGYN!
Top Notch OBGYN! Dr. Nancy F. Petit has treated my mom, sisters and myself for over 22 years of her career… she is a meticulous doctor who truly cares about her patients. Anyone looking to become an OBGYN should follow her lead. And anyone looking for an OBGYN should try and get an appointment. You may have a long wait but she is well worth it. Wish they could Clone Dr. Petit.

Unacceptable. I was told after 20+ years seeing Dr. Petit years that I am considered a “new patient”, and they are not accepting new patients! Their records do not show my history. Imagine how distressing this is. What is wrong with your record-keeping?!

Dr. Petit was so caring and thorough with her exam. My husband and I loved her. She was sure to explain everything in detail and ask several times if I had any questions or concerns. It was honestly the most comfortable OB appointment I've ever had, and she made me feel like I was talking to my mom or close friend. I would definitely refer her!

She is one of the finest doctors I've ever know. I have waited months for an appt with her and will travel long distances for my appointment. She is thorough, caring, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She reads your chart BEFORE she enters the room and doesn't waste time asking you redundant questions. She gave me a recap of my last visit and asked if any thing has changed. She is the standard by which all other doctors should be measured. She will probably ALWAYS be my doctor.

This amazing DR was with me while I was 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my Modi baby girls. I was in preterm labor and she was open and honest with our options. When I returned at 32 weeks 6 days with a need to deliver due to complications with my twin pregnancy she was there and truly cared about what was going on. As we were in delivery she called out who was born and called them by their names and was just a great person to have there. BONUS SHE IS A TWIN MAMA HERSELF, so she totally got it

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Petit 10/10/17 At the St Francis Hospital thur another patient, her interaction with the patient was so awesome, explaining the procedure step by step She made me feel relaxed about the procedure and I was not getting anything done, so if I were looking for a gynecologist I would definitely requested Dr Petit as my doctor. Pure awesomeness as a person.
