Elite Women’s Health Reviews

Baby number TWO delivered 7/7/2020 and I couldn’t be more happy with the process. Mary Washington L & D and Motherhood were amazing as usual but let me tell you how grateful I am to belong to Elite Women’s Health!They are nothing short of excellent... from the FRONT DESK and back! Every visit I have ALWAYS been greeted with a smile. I have felt important as well as the life inside of me the entire time.Dr. TePaske took care of me the first night in the hospital. I’ve heard wonderful things about him and only a couple short visits with him... I see why! Amazing!Julie delivered my Tucker - I am forever grateful to she and Dr. Stadulis for the births of both of my children. Julie was incredibly patient, encouraging, gentle, and thorough! Julie rocks!Dr. Butz, cared for me through a great deal of my pregnancy also... checked on me first thing in the morning after he was born to see how I was feeling. She, her bedside manner, and knowledge... I’d trust her over and over again! She also administered my sons circumsition - funny but I cannot tell you how many times people in the pediatric office have complimented what an excellent job she did! Thank you!Thank you, to ALL at Elite!Forever faithful to you,Amie
I switched to Elite Women’s Health before I got pregnant with my first child. The midwives provided excellent care from the first prenatal appointment to my labor at Mary Washington. I could not be happier with the care I received. They are knowledgeable, kind, and provide the highest level of care. I would recommend Elite to any mom to be.
Elite Women's Health is simply the best. From the moment you walk in your greeted by the nicest front desk that is so knowledgeable, caring and will go out of their wait to assist you each one I've never had a bad encounter. The nurses are so sweet, compassionate and just lovely. I absolutely adore their MidWife Lauren she goes above and beyond and takes the time to discuss all concerns and goes into great detail to provide you with all the information so you can make the best decision for you and your birth plan, she's truly there for you and your voice is heard. Dr. Stadulis & Dr. Patel you could not ask for better advocates for your care and health. It wasn't until them that they I found out my medical condition after being turned away from multiple practices without any diagnosis. They listened they head and they are one of the main reasons I'm a Mom of a toddler and expecting baby 2. Throughout the process Dr. Stadulis, always took the time with each appointment and made me feel like her only patient. I needed a c section due to my son's positioning and between her and Lauren going over everything ahead of time when the day came the procedure was picture perfect and my sweet boys birth was so special. Dr. Stadulis still was able to give me so many things on my birth plan with a c section that I didn't think would be possible. Her compassion and love for her job shows and I couldn't imagine seeing any other doctors or going to any other practice. You're not just a number in their patient lists, you are family from the moment you walk in, until the moment you leave. Your care is in the best of hands and everyone there you can tell loves their job it shows with big smiles, hugs and compassion.
Elite Women's Health is the best! I've been a patient for years and am beyond happy with the care I recieve. The staff is courteous and kind from the front desk ladies to the clinical staff in the back. I always feel heard and cared for.
I've been a patient with this practice for over 10 years and have received excellent care from Dr. Zeenat Patel. She goes above and beyond to ensure I have very coordinated care and is extremely compassionate. The staff are always positive and professional, very eager to assist with any request. I have recently moved away from the area and am very disappointed that I can no longer be a patient with this group. I highly recommend anyone to seek care with Dr. Patel or her associates!
My first time here today as have just moved from England. All the Ladies were lovely and took their time to explain things to me when they could see I was nervous. Couldn’t recommend more. Great staff and treatment from desk to Doctor.
