Tow-Der, Esther J, Md - Hera Ob/Gyn Medical Group Inc

Dr. Tow was my favorite doctor during the time that I was seen at HERA for my (happy surprise) pregnancy and delivery at age 46. She treated me just like any of her younger patients, which was SO refreshing after many docs and high risk specialists treated me like a hot potato. Luckily, Dr. Tow was on call when our little guy decided it was time to make his appearance. As she breezed into my room at the hospital like a breath of fresh air, with a big smile and an attitude of celebration ... we just knew everything was going to go fine. And, it did! We had a little hic-cup during my VBAC delivery when Dr. Tow realized that our little guy's cord was around his neck ... and she calmly and quickly dealt with the situation, then encouraged me to continue delivering him. One more push and there he was. Dr. Tow did her job (very competently) and also expressed her happiness about our little blessing. She was great!! And, when I went to see her for my 6 week postpartum visit, the first thing she said after greeting me with a big smile was, ""Where's Landon?"" She remembered his name and wanted to see him! That's a good doctor. more

I must agree. Dr. TOw makes you feel like you are an idiot. When I told her my problem she diagonsed me handed me a pamplet and sent me on my way..I was dissatified and I left crying because I had no idea what I was suppose to do..I went back another time giving her a second chance and I again felt she was cold. I don't feel as if she really cared about my problems and I don't recommend for any one to go thru the hummiliation. Cons: She is very cold more

I was delivered by this doctor..and I'm now 15 years old and she is so understanding and fun. She has a very bubbly personality and helps me out a lot. It may be because my mother still goes to her and has delivered all of her children, but in my opinion she makes going to the doctors fun. Pros: Very nice and understanding. Cons: none. more

Dr. Tow-Der was one of the most inconsiderate and rude doctors I have ever met. She acted like my questions and concerns were not important and shrugged them off without answering. She acted like she didn't have time to deal with me. I felt so uncomfortable, I will never go back. Pros: office is clean, new Cons: Doctor is rude more
