Northam is the best GY Dr I have been to in such a long time. She is nice, she takes time with you, hears what you have to say, answers any Q's you have and makes sure you are taken care of.

Dr. Northam was very insightful. She outlined a clear plan to pinpoint my issues concerning my menstrual cycles. She was gracious when my period started during the appointment and even offered me a pad.

Dr.Northam has a calm, pleasant demeanor. She put me at ease and spent a good amount of time just speaking to me and answered any questions I had thoughtfully. I did not feel rushed or uncomfortable. The office was clean and inviting. It was a good experience after having been with my original OBGYN my entire adult life (Dr.Hill retired). I was not looking forward to working with someone new. But I left there feeling very satisfied and will be comfortable returning in the future!
