So glad that this visit was recommended!!

Dr. Woods is an outstanding doctor for many years in the Rochester area, his knowledge and expertise are exceptional
Oct 07, 2024
The doctor spent 45 minutes with me listening to me and giving me information about menopause and post menopausal health. Such an excellent way to begin a doctor/patient relationship. I wish all doctors did this!

Good

Dr Woods was thorough in providing information about menopause using graphics to explain what's happening in the body over time. He also explained results of a 2002 study that may or may not have impacted my approach to navigating menopause. I shared that I wished I was aware of this practice when I was 48-49ish years old. The information that he provided would have been really helpful back then, if for no other reason to at least normalize my experience. I experienced Dr. Woods as humanistically oriented which allowed me to take the risk to share my challenging experience with my former PCP.

In regards to the time spent with me and the explanations provided, he undeniably exceeded most, if not all visits with other physicians. To an incredible fault. The level to which the information was dumbed down and explained to me - even though I communicated my more than adequate education and knowledge regarding the subject matter - was immensely frustrating and felt like a substantial waste of time. Moreover, the physician's compulsion to do so caused him to not listen to me as much as would have been desired. I wanted to communicate but it was difficult to get a word in. He was more preoccupied with giving a lecture regarding why I was there as opposed to listening why I felt I needed to be there. Perhaps such a lesson would be beneficial to many individuals who are not familiar with biology and/or the specific biological processes that have compelled them to seek out help. I am sure many of them are grateful to have him provide a rudimentary understanding of what is going on with their body. But for myself it was frustrating and felt like a waste of valuable time. Better yet, I wouldn't have minded being provided literature and articles to read prior to the appointment so that our time could've been better utilized and allowed me to share more, as opposed to him spending most of the time conducting a presentation reminiscent of college lecture halls. He is a good physician, no doubt, but perhaps his initial patient appointments should be catered more to the individual for whom he is providing care.

Excellent physician and staff.

Always wonderful care here.
May 19, 2024
Dr. Woods is fantastic! Always friendly, nice, funny and when the appointment is done I always feel like I was understood and given good advice and care.
May 05, 2024
Dr Woods always listens very carefully to what I have to say and tailors his advice based on the way we have talked before. He remembers issues that have happened with treatments and takes those into account when we discuss changes. He asks for my opinion on his suggestions and always lets me know I should follow up with any questions or problems rather than waiting for our next appointment if things aren't going as well as hoped. He also speaks kindly and with compassion and understanding for impact on quality of life. Further, he enquirer about serious health issues he knows have been occurring in my family, which makes me feel like he is treating me as a whole person.
Feb 16, 2024
Dr Woods talked ALOT and listened very little. He didn't seem concerned about my symptoms at all.

Dr. Woods is easy to talk to and takes genuine interest in me (patient).
Aug 15, 2023
First time meeting this doctor and his mannerisms to make me comfortable are contrary to what makes me comfortable. He joked and tried to be light, I would prefer a doctor who is more serious with just the facts. So for me I did not feel comfortable [...]

Jun 12, 2023
Most amazing experience I have ever had with a physician. He asked me if he could be part of my team. He let me know he could help me with my symptoms. He took time with me and made me feel like a person. The visit literally brought me to tears. I have been a nurse for almost 25 years and never felt the compassion I felt working with Dr. Woods. He is the best kept secret at the UofR. I am saddened to think that when he retires, there may not be another MD who wants to work with women who suffer from menopause.
Apr 24, 2023
It was a very good experience.

Mar 11, 2023
Dr. Woods is one of the best doctors I've seen for listening, explaining, and working together with me to find the right solution. He takes all concerns seriously and knows and remembers my medical info. I truly wish I had more doctors who wereThis understanding and willing to make things a partnership in finding answers to complex situations as my other chronic illnesses often cause things to be not textbook' and Dr Woods is good at avoiding a cookie cutter approach and takes time to learn individual symptoms.
Mar 09, 2023
Wish he could be my doctor for everything
Mar 06, 2023
Dr. Woods is the best!
