OUR CLINIC

Dr. Megan Smith is an extremely good doctor and I highly recommend her. I deeply respect her, feel cared for and understood, as well as can depend on her expertise around larger more generic subjects to very specific pregnancy or women health related areas.

Dr. Cheryl Czapla has been incredible through my medical journey. She’s efficient, knowledgeable, professional, has an amazing bed side manner, and explains things very well so that I understand what’s going on. She’s patient and kind and a wonderful surgeon. She really cares about her patients, unlike some other physicians who can make you feel like they’re just trying to rush through their appointments. Dr. Czapla will take time for you so that you feel at ease. I would 100% trust and recommend Dr. Czapla to my family and friends.

I’m a 51 yr old mom. This is the second time I’ve seen Dr. Megan Smith. She took her time, listened, answered my questions, and helped me understand my options. I appreciate her personal approach. Plus, her memory of my last visit 18 mo ago was impressive! I’m very happy with her care and with East Cascades Womens Group in general. I look forward to continuing to be a patient there.

Dr. Smith at East Cascades is a special kind of physician. Her interpersonal communication skills are off-the-charts. She uses nonverbal communication (kind smiles, eye contact, listening ears) and clear and kind verbal communication during our medical interactions. She helps me feel seen, heard, understood, and supported in navigating healthcare challenges and decisions. She's patient and makes me feel supported and educated enough to make my own decisions about my healthcare. I never feel pressured, just empowered, which is really important to me as a holistically-minded woman. Thank you Dr. Smith!

Peri Vernon takes the time to listen and is very straightforward. I wish ECWG could be my PCP. I highly recommend Peri and ECWG.

Dr. Ahmed has delivered all 3 of my children, and completed a D&C, between child two and three, with complete grace. She is a Mom to me, to be honest. I can't thank her enough. She is, simply, amazing.

This was genuinely one of the best experiences I have had with a physician in regards to women’s health ever. Dr. Vernon made me feel extremely comfortable, walked me through my whole process and kept me informed every step of the way while still being able to get the procedure done quickly. I tend to be someone who changes their mind a lot, and not once did she seem irritated or annoyed when I would go back and ask questions then change my thoughts on something. I very rarely leave reviews, but after having such a bad experience at St. Charles getting a IUD put in, it is so comforting knowing there are doctors out there who strive to make these situations as comfortable and quick as possible. I can safely say I have found a new spot for my womanly medical needs!

Didn’t need to wait for long for the Dr.
Dr Champer was very nice, friendly and helpful. She took her time talking to me understanding my situation as a new patient.
Did a woman’s wellness checkup and she was gentle and thorough.
She looks young but I am comfortable having her as my GYN.

Super easy check-in as a first time patient, was immediately called back and got to fill out paperwork while waiting in the room. Bloodwork I needed done same day, basically no wait time either.

Tara Hulbert was amazing. Kind, professional, asked good questions to determine the level of care I needed. I loved how she described what she was feeling during my breast exam; things to help me understand how my tissue is and what exactly to look for in a way I haven't ever learned.

A small issue getting my ultrasound scheduled since the order didn't go through, leading to a multi-day delay, but everything else was perfect.

Ciara Thomson-Barnett was my primary nurse midwife throughout my first pregnancy and I don’t have enough great things to say about her! Something I appreciate about Ciara is her evidence-based practices. She is a provider who will present you will all of the facts to help you make an informed decision and does not give personal opinions on the matters of pregnancy. She is kind, sees you through any question you may have and practices trauma informed care. I felt safe and reassured throughout the entirety of my pregnancy and delivery in the hands of Ciara.

I would also like to recognize Dr. Janelle Strom for being thorough and skilled in post-delivery repairs. Herself and Ciara caught what was a very sneaky 4th degree tear that had gone untreated could have resulted in a lifetime of trouble. I left the hospital rest assured I had received the most high quality care.

I am so grateful for my positive experience and would easily recommend ECWG to any friends or family!

The office staff consistently kind and was very timely with their interactions with me getting set up for surgery. Dr. Champer had a thoughtful plan for my situation unlike another doc that I had in another city. Grateful for her kind attention and all has resolved nicely.

I had Devon Riley last time I had my son in September and we are pregnant with #3 so I came back and I have Devon Riley again. It’s great. But the nurses and front desk suck. I’ve been called 4 times over my blood and urine test results and I can’t get a nurse and now they won’t even call me back and leave a detailed message. They called me the 2nd and 3rd time while I was at work so when I called back I got some lady on the phone “WELL OUR NURSES ARE BUSY ASSISTING OTHER PEOPLE” and I hadn’t even raised my voice we hadn’t even been talking for 3 minutes. I fired right back “well I work the school day schedule because I work in a preschool so how in the HELL am I supposed to call you by the time I get home if you CLOSE AT 5” she back tracked “well can they leave a detailed message?” “Yes I’ve said so twice” “alright you’ll receive a call” and I haven’t heard anything in 2 days. I’m not very happy with the OB/pregnancy care in central Oregon because this is it. It’s all you get as an option.

Dr. Gage has been my OB for my two kids now and she is amazing! She takes away all my worries when I’m pregnant and she just brings a calming presence to every appointment. She also makes the time to know you and your family and asks about things you’ve told her about before 💕

I was very nervous for my exam and Dr Thompson made me feel relaxed and comfortable. It was much less of a concern than I thought. I need to thank my doctor for an exam last year that she noticed a mark on my nose, she recommended a dermatologist. After I went to the dermatologist it was discovered that I had melanoma skin cancer. It would have gone undetected if my doctor had not pointed it out
I owe her for being so diligent and concerned

ECWG was recommended to me by my mother and older sister. I am young so this is the first gynecologist I’ve ever been to. I am also shy and very modest so the idea of gynecology kind of scared me. Let me tell you though, this place is amazing! Everyone is so kind and makes you feel welcome! The scheduling is always so easy and they try to fit you where it’ll work best for everyone! It may not be the same case for everyone, but I normally get in within a week of me calling in.
I absolutely love my doctor, Dr. Ciara Thomson-Barnett! She is very knowledgeable, she explains every detail of what is being checked or done. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and answer any questions I had! I always recommend her and this office to all my family and friends!

Great experience with Dr. Megan Smith for annual preventative apt. She answered all my questions without rushing me or making me feel judged in any way. No crazy wait times for Dr and check in was smooth and staff was very nice!

This is my second pregnancy using Dr. Gage as my provider. I adore her. She always makes me feel heard and supported and helps me not sweat the small stuff. She consistently puts my mind at ease. She’s thoughtful and caring. When I had my daughter, she came to check on me at the hospital during her lunch break (another daughter was on call for delivery) even though I was the only patient she had in the hospital at that time. I cannot recommend her enough.

I recently had a baby and did all of my prenatal care here. Cierra is the absolute best and such a gem! I never felt rushed or like my questions were looked down on at all during my pregnancy. She was thoughtful and attentive and always took the time to explain things. When it came time to deliver, Katie was the midwife on call. She had great bedside manner and was kind and encouraging. The office staff was always helpful and kind. I look forward to continuing my care at this practice!
