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.

Worst experience
I had a really bad experience today with Dr. Tanya Kalmar. She was rude, asked very personal questions, and overstepped her boundaries. I was extremely disappointed and upset. She made me feel very uncomfortable with inappropriate questions. Some things are personal, and I feel she crossed a line, making me feel unsafe. I’ve decided to change my gynecologist.

Worst doctor I have ever met with
She was the worst doctor. She was 45 minutes late. I was tired of waiting her at the time. She didn’t even say hi or introduce herself to us during the visit. She was rude and didn’t even explain anything. I didn’t like the way she present herself to me. The way she checked my baby during ultrasound and checking heartbeat was so unusual. She didn’t even explain the heart beat rate of my baby, size of my baby. This is not the way how other doctor used to look me before. I am disappointed by her with the visit.

Great care
This week was my third appointment with Dr Kalmar in the last year and my husbands first time meeting her. We were both very pleased by her care. She is very knowledgeable and explains things clearly and concisely. She took the time to answer our questions and was very kind. My husband hasn’t met any of the other doctors at St Agnes Women’s OBGYN (yet) and based on our last visit he doesn’t want to - he only wants to be seen by her going forward. I wish we could guarantee she is on call the day we give birth, but I know it doesn’t work like that.

The office was very busy that day and yet, she took the time to listen to me and provide me with additional information. I have an ongoing issue that she was able to help me with. Dr. Kalmar was compassionate and supportive.

Dr. Kalmar was lovely
I saw Dr. Kalmar on 31OCT23 and had a great experience with her. This is my first pregnancy and she really made me feel at ease. One thing that really stood out for me is how she treated me. As a plus size woman who is pregnant I can say that other providers at this practice have made me feel less than and more focused on my weight than any else. Dr. Kalmar was the first provider that treated me like a regular person. She didn’t focus on my weight and for that I’m extremely thankful. I felt like we had an actual conversation about my pregnancy instead of being talked at. Dr. Kalmar made me feel listened to and validated any concerns I had. It really felt like she was there for me and that I was just as valuable as her time.

Blunt, Rushed, and Unprofessional
The doctor seemed rushed and irritated. When we asked questions she would often cut us off and give blunt responses. As first time parents of color, we felt uncomfortable leaving our appointment.
