    I have not received gynocological care/routine exams for quite some time due to a previous negative experience at another practice. I experience a lot of anxiety leading up to my appointments due to this. This staff was empathetic, compassionate and caring every step of my appointment. They made me feel seen/heard and never minimized my previous experiences. They spoke to me with knowledge and gave me a plan moving forward. I felt respected and seen as a human being. They took into account my feelings and explained every step while also checking in with me before proceeding and asked for consent. I cannot thank everyone who saw me for my appointment enough for their kindness and care. I look forward to future appointments and am so happy to have found such wonderful people.

    Sheila, [REDACTED], they my -------. Point blank dot, they be on point. I been there for a couple of years and they always on point. It's always an in and out, but coming in, sitting there with conversations, talking longer than you usually expect it. They do what they need to do and that's that. Give them a hug, how you say? Give them a raise, there you go. If not, I'm coming back down there.

    Sheila Kaufman is one of the most outstanding medical professionals that I have ever dealt with throughout my life. She's just excellent in every regard. And that office is so superior in terms of compassion and caring and follow-up that they provide. And I would recommend them. And I do, I tell people, about Sheila Kauffman and the office there, the midwifery, the Virtua midwifery. It is just fabulous. So I'm so grateful that those services are provided. Thank you for allowing me to give my opinion. Thanks again. Bye-bye.

    I love everyone that works at the Camden Midwifery! They are such a great team and make it such a personalized experience every time I have gone in for an appointment. I can't say enough good things about them! They take the time to listen to me and any concerns I have, they remember our previous conversations and take everything into consideration. The best!

    Dr. Sheila Kaufman is a tremendous professional. She always treats my daughter with respect. She explains everything she's going to do, asks if we're happy with her treatment, and leaves us with no doubts. She's also available to us if we have any questions; we can write to her, and she'll get back to us quickly. I wouldn't trade her for anyone else.
