Interior Women’s Health — Fairbanks

Amy was super great, very professional but also personable. She was very knowledgeable about what she was discussing and everything she provided was very helpful. Everyone at IWH office was so nice and welcoming. I definitely would recommend Amy again.

Pros- Kristina is an amazing midwife and made sure all of my wife’s questions were answered at every prenatal appointment. Cons- shady billing practices, they require payment upfront which I was fine with until I started getting statements from my insurance and found out that they were charging us more than they were billing insurance. The largest difference being up to $150-$200. When we called to address this, they told us that they were essentially overcharging us in case we dipped and didn’t pay them and eventually we reached an agreement that they were apply the difference that’s been wracked up to future appointments. Dr. Baurick delivered out baby and though he seems good at his job, his social skills need some work as he was incredibly insistent about putting my wife on birth control mere hours after she had the baby and even after we’ve told him that we’ve got that covered by other means he was still being pushy and it made both of us highly uncomfortable. Additionally, we had to cancel one appointment because my wife got sick and later found out that they cancelled two appointments

If I could give this place a negative rating, I would. I am extremely disappointed with this clinic, especially the front desk staff. I had a very concerning experience when trying to become a new patient. Initially, I was told that I could be accepted I was offered different appointment times and days. However, after staff received my information and saw my last name, I was placed on hold. When they returned to the call, the girl said, actually I'm still in training and I was suddenly told that the clinic was no longer accepting new patients. The abrupt change in response left me convinced that my Slavic last name played a role in how I was treated. I have also spoken with other women who have had similar experiences. In contrast, when my American friend called the clinic to become a New patient, she was immediately given an appointment with no questions asked. During the call, the staff also seemed to rush to end the conversation quickly after delivering this information, which added to my discomfort. Being denied medical care because of ethnicity or national origin is unacceptable. Patients deserve to be treated fairly, respectfully, and without bias, regardless of their heritage. My experience left me feeling shocked, upset, and deeply concerned about this clinic's practices. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fair and unbiased treatment.

I want to thank my midwife allison. She was incredible with my second pregnancy and absolutely amazing during my birth. My first birth experience was not the greatest. I got alot of trama from it and going into my second pregnancy i feared it would go similar, but I was completely wrong! Allison is so kind and caring! She actually listens to your concerns and cares about you and your well-being. I wanted to have another induction with no meds an i had made up a birth plan an she agreed to everything an made my experience giving birth absolutely amazing from her doing counter pressure to coaching me and letting me be in the positions I wanted to be in. I highly highly recommend her if you are looking for a midwife! Even in post partum she did everything to ensure i was doing great. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for the amazing and wonderful job she did!

I highly recommend Misty Holacka, Family Nurse Practitioner for all of you and your family’s primary care needs, she is caring, supportive, listens to your concerns and is an excellent NP! My husband has had the best primary care provider experience in a long time and NP Misty helped him understand his cardiac and autoimmune disorders - thanks so much!
