Reviews of Aventa Specialized Women's Care (Doctor)

Sara Deavers

I love all of the staff and doctors at Aventa! Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel special and they take such great care of you. Wait time is always short. I switched to them several years ago after being at another local OBGYN office and the difference is amazing!

The office staff was very friendly and fast. And Dr. Marker listened to my issues and gave me options, never once treating my concerns lightly. Would definitely recommend Aventa!

Nurse Practitioner Amy created a comfortable environment. She made my first experience a positive one. Front office staff is amazing and very polite. Dr. Marker listens to all my concerns I've had and offer her best expert advise. I am very satisfied with the care i received as a patient. I cannot recommend her enough!!

This place is amazing. I see Dr. Ghilcrest and I have never been displeased with my visit. They are always as fast as possible and definitely know what their talking about. I would recommend Aventa as well as Dr. Ghilcrest to any woman in need of a kind hearted and Christian facility.

My daughter had a positive hpt and just before her first appointment, she began to bleed. When I brought her into Aventa she was given an ultrasound that showed "free fluid" near her ovary. When asked about the fluid we were told that it was a ruptured cyst from her ovary. We were told that no pregnancy could be seen in the uterus, but that her tubes were perfectly clear. Believing the sonographer, we thought it was a miscarriage or far to early to pick up the pregnancy visually. My daughter and I then sat and talked with the doctor and were told that we needed to wait to see if her hcg levels were going down. Foolishly, I put aside my own concern believing that the miscarriage would continue. We were even told at one point that the pregnancy may yet still be viable. That day she had her blood drawn and her hcg levels were going up instead of down. So the next morning she had another ultrasound. Again, they said that there could be a viable pregnancy that we needed to wait until the next day to rule out any other reason for the bleeding and pain. All in all we had three ultrasounds in four days at Aventa. The night of the final Aventa ultrasound I rushed my daughter to the emergency room in severe pain and massive bleeding. The hospital staff at southern health did an ultrasound (non transvaginal) and saw what we feared most. My daughter had a five centimeter tubal rupture. She was bleeding into her abdomen and was rushed into surgery where my healthy 19 year old lost not only her pregnancy, but her tube as well. When they opened her up blood poured out of the abdomen. She suffered both physically and emotionally which has scarred her for life. Aventa missed a huge rupture and my daughter almost died. The doctors at SAMC were amazing and saved her life, but she is forever scarred by the actions of Aventa and their staff. I am not one to speak poorly of others, but I would never want anyone else to suffer as we have. Our lives changed drastically because of the decision to go to Aventa. I pray that no one else will see the horrors of what we were made to endure.

They were not professional and did not know what they were doing. I don’t recommend them.

Have been to aventa for 3 separate referrals, 2 of which were for pregnancies and their office is wonderful. Everyone is extremely friendly and professional. Even getting blood work has been pain free. Highly recommended!

I have used Aventa since I was about 16 years old. I have been through teenage years, wanting to start a family, pregnancies, births, loss with a miscarriage, and procedures with the nurse practitioners and doctors of Aventa and I absolutely love them all!! Aventa truly makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door and they make sure that every detail is covered so that you will have a relaxing and comfortable experience no matter what season of life you are in!

Dr. Cleveland has been my doctor for 17 years and I could not ask for a better one. He's kind, considerate and has an excellent bedside manner.

Katherine Wallace

I do not recommend this place or trust it. The staff was not professional and were wasting time in a huddle talking and giggling. I waited in the screening room for over an hour for Dr. Marker to come in. When I went out to check on whether the doctor would come to talk to me and my husband, Dr. Marker came into the room immediately. What was she doing? Had she forgot? When I asked her questions she told me to look online for everything. Then when I went to the billing office Lisa was on the phone with a patient and mentioned their name, as well as some very personal information. She also did not close the door when discussing insurance and personal information of my own. Therefore, I again highly discourage anyone from going to this facility.

This office is wonderful! I would recommend it to anyone! The staff is very professional and friendly! The office is very clean as well. Before, durning, and after my pregnancy they were always very helpful and I had a great experience. Dr. Marker and her nurses are outstanding! I love this office!

Brittney Slack

What a great first visit! The office is clean, the staff is friendly! Dr. Gilchrist is a wonderful provider. He gets to know you at the start of the appointment, he is thorough and informative. The best part he is a christian and open about his faith! It is hard to find a well rounder provider but I found one today!

If you have any kind of trauma in your past, DO NOT go to Aventa. If you have PTSD or Bipolar, DO NOT go to Aventa. I had gotten worried about the baby not moving and had come in to get her checked. I was very aggressively approached verbally by a male doctor who was not my regular OB. This resulted in a panic attack and PTSD episode from abuse in my childhood, I ran out of there in full panic. My significant other made a phone call to the administrator to discuss what happened. Now I have a letter of discharge blaming it on "We have been unable to establish proper communication and compliance from you" I do not recommend this place to anyone who has needed to stop taking psychiatric meds to prevent PTSD episodes, they do not know how to approach properly, and they will no longer see you, not based off of what they can't do for you medically, but cannot take proper responsibility for pregnant women and emotional instability.

Aventa is an incredible facility in which each staff member (desk clerks, nurses, AND doctors) knows who you are. I've always been impressed by their kindness and ability to make each patient feel special to them. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
