Also us Black women often get the short end of the stick as medical patients and that was NOT the case at Almond. This experience was such a relief. I felt valued the entire time. I love it here 10/10! ### What I loved most about my experience was the cohesive display of active listening and care I received from everyone at the clinic. I truly felt empathy for my care and trust that my team will attentively and carefully come up with a plan to help me feel better. ### 100 stars! Gorgeous, soothing, relaxing, clean and bright clinic space aside... this is the best MEDICAL CARE I've ever received... I feel so lucky to live nearby and can't wait to watch Almond grow so more women can be this blessed. I'll be a patient for life. ### Do you ever get anxiety before your doctor's visit? Especially with lady part matters? Yeah ... that doesn't happen here! I've been anxious my entire life whenever I have to go see any sort of doctor, especially anything gyno related. I had no idea what to expect the day of my appointment but when I walked in ... I couldn't believe it. It looked, felt and smelled like a spa! Not to mention, the staff are SO friendly. ### Almond OBGYN has been amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in really good hands. Everyone is super kind and professional, but what really stood out to me was how much attention they paid to the little things with my care. They asked thoughtful questions, actually listened to my concerns, and made sure I understood everything going on. I never felt rushed or like just another patient—they really take the time... ### All women deserve care this great. Almond is one of those ideas that after you hear about it, it feels extremely obvious. ### I’m so glad this exists!! Thank you Almond for bringing ObGyn care out of the stone ages. ### I love Almond ObGyn! They are truly for women, by women. They really listen and collaborate with me on my health. And they have SUNDAY appointments!! Why hasn't anyone else thought of this or implemented it?? They really think about what their patient needs and figures out a way to work with them. ### Feels like a spa! Everything about Almond ObGyn is easy, efficient, and comfortable. Dr Evans is very knowledgeable, sweet, friendly, swift with details whilst never rushing me, she is a pleasure to see :) The rest of the staff is just as exceptional from the front desk (Hi Gina!) to everyone else I have encountered so far. I never thought I would say this about an obgyn... ### Thank you!! I wish every woman could get this level of care and attention. I love this place so much. I felt comfortable and at ease and seen and heard and not rushed or dismissed. ### THEY SAVED ME!! Before I found Almond, I had seen countless ObGyns who told me the solution was to stay on antibiotics and antifungals perpetually because my conditions were chronic. They were so patient with me and knew that prescribing such strong medications regularly was harmful and also not getting to the root of the problem. After a couple meetings with Dr. Christy Evans — who was so kind and understanding — I started meeting with a PA... ### I would like to tell the world about this place Let’s put it this way. I cried tears of thankfulness and relief at the end of my appointment. So thoughtful and inquisitive to truly try to understand what was happening with me. I will not only tell every female friend I have I would like to tell the world about this place. # Common Perimenopause Questions ### Do you take insurance?
