:) Click to report rating    7/22/09 4 2 5 Dr. Falzon has delivered my 4 children....i never had to have the "on-call" doctor because Dr. Falzon does all of her patients deliveries. She is very compassionate, smart, and takes the utmost care of her patients. You may have to wait a long time to see her, but she is worth the wait if you want your pregnancy to be in the best hands. When she is with you, she will totally take her time answering any questions or concerns you may have. She has totally been a blessing to us.

:| Click to report rating    4/5/09 2 1 2 I had to wait over an hour and a half, about 30 minutes of that I was sitting naked in a exam room. You have to carry your urine sample down a long hall way with other people and write your name on the lid. The staff could not understand her directions as to what appts. and labs to order for me. Never again!

:) Click to report rating    2/19/09 5 5 5 The bes doctor i've ever come across. I dont mind waiting to be seen coz i know what kind of a doctor she is. She extremely thorough and very caring. Those of u who have issues with waiting a long time to see her, then go to the sloppy doctors who dont care and will see you soon enough. As for us who know her,we dont mind the wait. She's the best.

:) Click to report rating    12/28/07 5 1 5 There is no better Dr. than Dr Falzon. She is the only Dr. in her office, this means two things: 1)you will only deal with one person and that is the one person will deliver your baby.2) because she is the only one you will often have to wait in her waiting room-she may even leave to deliver a baby. But think about it, when its your turn you'll be grateful that she does this for you. She is very, very thorough and very very caring. She delivered both of my high risk pregnancy babies.I was extremely carefully cared for. I wouldn't consider any one else.

:( Click to report rating    12/23/07 2 1 1 Doesn't seem to be the doctor you want to see if you're not interested in having a baby. She refused to give me more than 6 months birth control and insisted I come in for a check every 6 months because I had been on birth control for 6 years, and she claimed that this was required. I subsequently went to another doctor who had no qualms about a yearlong wait between checkups and prescriptions. Speaking as a 25 year old with a great gynecological health record, I suspect that the short prescription length has more to do with religious affiliation of doctor/hospital than it does with patient health. I also spent an incredibly long time in the waiting room. Finally, the office does not stock the new HPV vaccine, and if you want to get it from her, you have to take a prescription to a pharmacy, and then bring the vaccine back to her office for administration (note that it's not just one shot). Steer clear if you value reproductive choice.

:) Click to report rating    4/3/07 3 5 Dr Falzon is by far the best. I couldn't be any happier. You may have to wait a bit for her but, it is well worth it.

:) Click to report rating    10/26/06 2 5 Dr. Falzon is in private practice, and delivers all of her own patients as a result. (Dr. Helen Reddy assists her, too, at times) This means you might have to wait a long time to see her. I personally loved the fact that you were not going to have to deal with a stranger, which is what happened when I delivered my eldest son at a different hospital, and it was a horrible experience. I was more than happy at St.Elizabeth's with Dr. Falzon delivering my next three sons. What a wonderful woman, she is very concerned with her patients and is a most caring, devoted doctor. I would not go to anyone else.

:) Click to report rating    9/30/05 2 5 when you need the time, she spends it with you. She's very caring and knowledgeable. You will have to wait at most of your appointments but in your times of need you'll feel like you're her only patient. Thought she was fantastic in different ways for each of my 5 pregnancies. She delivered 5 healthy babies under situations that could have had other results.

:) Click to report rating    12/29/04 1 4 I don't have anything to say about Dr. Falzon's competence as a doctor, but if you choose to go to her, BE PREPARED TO WAIT. It's not unusual to wait for several hours in the (not very pleasant) waiting room, only for her to have to rush out to the hospital. I know four other women who have gone to her, and this is a chronic problem. It's very unprofessional, and it makes me feel like she values her time more than she does her patients'.
