She’s outstanding doctor that is easy to talk to, and is always willing to listen to your questions.

04/14/2026

I was honestly very overwhelmed going into my first visit. I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety, hormonal changes, and emotions, and I was nervous I wouldn’t be heard. I even had trouble holding back tears. Even though the office was busy and running a bit behind, my provider took the time to truly listen to me and explain what would actually help my symptoms. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which meant so much in that moment. When she had to step out briefly for an emergency, her student assistant stayed with me and was incredibly kind and patient, helping to calm me down. That level of compassion really stood out. I’m so grateful for the care I received from Catherine and how supported I felt during a time when I really needed it. It made a lasting impression.

02/16/2026

Perfect — that makes it even more meaningful. Here’s the updated version including both daughters: I have been a patient of Dr. Sam for 15 years, and I truly cannot say enough about the exceptional care she has provided me throughout that time. She has always been compassionate, thorough, and attentive, making sure I feel heard, comfortable, and fully informed at every visit. She was also my OB during my high-risk pregnancy with my youngest daughter. What could have been an incredibly stressful and frightening experience was made so much easier because of her expertise, calm reassurance, and constant support. I always felt that my baby and I were in the very best hands. Now, in a full-circle moment, she is also the gynecologist for my two oldest daughters. That alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence I have in her. It means everything to know that my daughters and I are all receiving care from someone so knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely compassionate. Dr. Sam has truly cared for my family across generations, and I am beyond grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding women’s healthcare.
