    Everyone was very professional, kind, and caring. Dr. Larsen answered my questions clearly. I felt I had a good healthcare team around me. Feeling heard is important to me, and that was my experience at Circle of Life.

    I have been going to Circle of Life for about 8 years. During those 8 years, I have had 1 miscarriage, 1 ectopic pregnancy, and 3—soon to be 4—healthy, beautiful babies. I have always received excellent care from my midwife, Karen McBride, and the other providers I have seen when she was unavailable or I needed surgery. Karen always listens patiently when I speak, which I truly appreciate. I love that they perform an ultrasound at every appointment!

    I have seen Dr. Bierer for more than 20 years. He is the best in town. He is caring and kind and always listens to my concerns. And let us not forget Nurse Lisa!!!! She is amazing too!

    Kaitlin Ellison is wonderful. She is warm and friendly and listened carefully to my concerns.

    Dr. Jefferey Brown is not compassionate or open minded. He seemed rushed, impersonal and didn’t care much for what I had to say or my questions. He seemed to be knowledgeable, but his only solution was to take medication (birth control of course). He was not open to another parts of my lifestyle impacting my situation. Dr Dave Bierer was much better!! 5 stars for him. Compassionate, understanding and patient.

    I absolutely adore Dr. Johansson. She is the reason I keep returning. The clinical staff are always kind and friendly. The front-desk receptionists are not always as friendly, which is why I gave only four stars. Because I work in patient care in a similar role, I understand that the hospital's image requires a gentler, friendlier, and more caring approach. I have been coming here for over ten years and can say this has consistently been an area needing improvement.
    Jul 17, 2025
    Every time I visit, everyone is pleasant, kind, and helpful! My obstetrician Julia is my favorite; she always listens patiently to my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Life's Circle Women's Healthcare!
    Jul 17, 2025
    Dr. Nesbitt is wonderful! He is caring and understanding and always well versed in treatment options. He makes each visit a better experience.

    Shannon is amazing! She listened carefully to my concerns, gave feedback, and helped me think everything through until I was comfortable with my plan.

    I love Life Cycle Women’s Center! Not only is the staff wonderful, but the building itself feels warm and welcoming, putting you at ease. I have seen many doctors there over the years and have been very satisfied with every one.
    Jul 31, 2025
    In my opinion, Life Cycle Women’s Center handles billing and patient communication very poorly. Not everyone has insurance. Uninsured patients must be told the cost of every procedure, laboratory test, and service before it is provided. That is part of patient care—care about their finances too. Unexpected bills are not harmless and can cause serious financial hardship. This happened to our family when laboratory tests were sent out without any financial discussion, resulting in bills for several hundred dollars. We worked with Life Cycle’s billing department and obtained a small laboratory discount, but we just received another bill from a different lab for another test the patient did not know about, and we had to pay it. This is certainly an ongoing problem in American healthcare, but informing patients and considering costs at the doctor’s office would be a major improvement. Please do better.

    Shannon Brennan made an excellent impression at my first visit with her. She listened carefully to my concerns and asked detailed questions to fully understand my health issues. She has extensive knowledge and is happy to share it. She feels like a member of my healthcare team who genuinely wants me to stay healthy.

    Dr. Laura Blackett is the most caring and attentive doctor I have ever met. She listens carefully, takes time to understand your concerns, and makes you feel valued and cared for. I have never felt so supported by a doctor—highly recommend her!
    Sep 5, 2025
    Highly recommended! They are the best: kind, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. The doctors, nurses, and staff are all wonderful. Excellent!

    A very comfortable and pleasant place. Fast, excellent service. Highly recommended.
    Sep 3, 2025
    I just had the best appointment! The woman who checked me in was very kind and helpful. The woman who brought me back, checked my vital signs, and took me to the room was very kind and caring. But meeting Laura Blackett made the experience even better! She was very kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She did not make me feel rushed. She explained what happens as we age and reassured me that everything was fine. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. She performed the examinations she considered necessary. By the time I reached my car, she had already called in my prescription. I will return! Thank you! Shelly McCloud

    I saw Laura Blackett, and she was wonderful! She was very understanding and compassionate. Communication was extremely easy. 10/10 recommended!

    I have been a patient here for nearly 30 years. After Marshall retired, I considered finding a doctor closer to home. I am glad I did not. Caitlin Ellison is wonderful! She takes the time to listen, shows empathy, and explains solutions. Highly recommended.

    I am very grateful to have Dr. David Bierer as my OB-GYN. I have been under his care for 17 years, and I can confidently say that he is the most outstanding healthcare provider I have ever seen. Over the years, he supported and cared for me through each pregnancy and delivery, as well as several other health concerns. The staff at COLWC are professional, friendly, and always smiling, and the clinic is beautiful!

    I have to say our experience was excellent. I have read some reviews, and I want to say the women at the front desk were wonderful. The doctor we saw was also excellent. Dr. David was very professional. I had been a little nervous about seeing a doctor, but he was very calm. He was amazing, and I think it is important to let him know how much we appreciate everything he did and his attention to detail and care. He is one of the best doctors I have ever seen.

    I chose this clinic because of a wonderful doctor I had seen before, but unfortunately he is no longer there. If you have health concerns or do not want a vaccine for medical reasons, however, the staff will give you a hard time. Because I am Rh-negative, I normally should have received RhoGAM at 28 weeks. When I requested it and asked why I had not received it, they dismissed me as though I were irrational. I gained more than 50 pounds (about 23 kilograms), and my blood glucose was only 2 points below the diagnostic threshold for gestational diabetes. I told Dr. Jeff Brown that my diet was very healthy and that I was concerned, but he treated me the same way he handled the glucose test, saying I did not need it. I later traveled 40 miles (about 64 kilometers) to South Jordan for a second evaluation with my aunt, Denise Nippert. I knew family would not send me in circles for money. She even recommended suing them for medical negligence. With all the records I collected, I still could. I returned fully prepared and confronted Dr. Brown's assistant when she demanded my husband's blood test results to prove I needed RhoGAM. When I told her I knew this was wrong and would sue, I suddenly began receiving the care I should have received. That was a year ago, and my daughter suffered because of their misdiagnosis. The hospital even identified the negligence and noted that recording her birth weight as only 9 pounds despite being born 10 days early was wrong. If the doctors here make you doubt your own judgment, I urge you to start collecting evidence. Otherwise, they will use your insurance while risking your child's health, and for what? To this day, I do not understand why I became a target at their clinic.

    Always courteous and kind.

    Dr. Biehl is my regular OB-GYN, and I am very pleased with his care, but I had an urgent issue and could not get an appointment with him soon enough. I scheduled with Dr. Laura Blackett instead and was very happy with her! She was kind and listened carefully to all my concerns. She answered every question and thoroughly explained all available treatment options. Laura, thank you so much for taking such good care of a new patient!
    Nov 27, 2025
    Dr. Brett Larson is absolutely the best OB-GYN! I developed complications early in pregnancy and was terrified. Dr. Larson listened patiently and helped me understand my symptoms, which reassured me. He is approachable and made my husband and me comfortable asking any question. We welcomed our wonderful daughter in September, and my recovery after the C-section went very smoothly! It could not have been better.

    Nov 26, 2025
    The staff is friendly. Dr. Caitlin is wonderful, thorough, and efficient. I waited about 10 minutes in their beautiful waiting room before being called in and was out 10 minutes later. The entire visit took no more than 30 minutes. They also offer online preregistration, which makes check-in much easier.
    Nov 25, 2025
    I have been a patient here for years! I love the care they provide.

    I had an excellent visit with Shannon Brennon, FLP. She is a highly compassionate and knowledgeable OB-GYN who made me feel completely comfortable discussing my personal needs. The clinic staff were also outstanding—friendly, professional, and attentive. I truly appreciate the welcoming environment they created. I highly recommend Shannon Brennon to anyone seeking a dedicated and empathetic healthcare provider!
    Dec 21, 2025
    They were quick, extremely kind and friendly, and made me feel comfortable.
    Dec 19, 2025
    Update: I went in for my appointment today. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude. As soon as I entered, she shouted, “We don't accept that insurance!” “We called you and you didn't answer!” “We can't see you because you're not pregnant!” Because I am struggling financially, I asked for a refund. She got up and walked away without saying anything. Someone else eventually explained why she had left. She was incredibly disrespectful. I would not recommend having her work at the front desk. I really like my doctor, Dr. Bilir. He is far better than my previous doctor. A tip for anyone who needs repeat bloodwork: do not vomit, and be sure to bring ice. The nurses will not tell you anything, and you may waste your entire morning.

    This was my first visit with nurse practitioner Sierra Mayzsak. Sierra was very attentive and understood my concerns. She was thorough and gave me the right guidance. I trust that my health will be well cared for in her hands.
    Feb 10, 2026
    I have received care at Circle of Life Women's Center since my first and only pregnancy 25 years ago. Although my providers have changed several times over the years, the care I have received there has always been excellent! I do not plan to go anywhere else in the later years of my life.

    Circle of Life is the only place I would choose for childbirth and gynecologic care. They are truly professional. Everyone from the front desk to the clinical area is very kind and helpful. I am pregnant with my third baby, and my obstetrician-gynecologist is retiring. He was wonderful, so I had to find a new doctor. Dr. Brown is exactly the doctor I had hoped for. He makes me feel confident, hopeful, understood, and valued. I am excited about this new chapter of my life and delighted to begin the journey with Circle of Life!

    Kaitlin Ellison is a very pleasant provider. She is highly qualified in medicine, thoughtful, and dedicated to helping you achieve your best health. I feel very comfortable at every appointment. She listens carefully to your concerns and provides honest answers. If you are looking for a provider for annual exams who will make you feel comfortable and validated, she is an excellent choice.

    Katilyn Ellison is wonderful. She sat down and spoke with me, answering all my questions. She is very knowledgeable and kind. The receptionists and nurses were also excellent.

    After an unexpected emergency, I wanted to leave a positive review for COL Women's Center. I learned that I had miscarried four weeks earlier and urgently needed a dilation and curettage (D&C). I contacted many clinics and OB-GYN offices across northern Utah. Because I had no established physician—I had been receiving midwifery care—and no referral, no one would accept me despite the urgency. Only COL Women's Center showed genuine concern by phone and immediately arranged for me to see a doctor. I am deeply grateful for their care and rapid action, which allowed surgery the next day. The care during surgery was very attentive, and I appreciated how calm and comfortable they made me feel, unlike the rushed, stressful environment of an emergency room. I greatly appreciated Dr. Brett Larsen. He is knowledgeable, calm, and understanding. Surgery went smoothly, and I recovered well. I highly recommend this practice, especially to anyone needing prompt help during a miscarriage.

    Circle of Life helped me have two babies, and I am now pregnant with my third. Dr. Julia Johnson has cared for every pregnancy, and I am very grateful to her! In both pregnancies, she identified health concerns early and induced labor promptly to keep my babies safe. Both deliveries went smoothly, and I was so pleased to see her at every prenatal visit!
    Mar 18, 2026
    Karen McBride is very approachable. She considers every aspect affecting your health, listens carefully, and provides excellent guidance. Thank you.

    Some people appreciate Dr. Shannon Brennan's efficiency, but I did not. She seemed eager to dismiss me, did not listen, and was physically rough. I am autistic and need a doctor who communicates well and genuinely reviews my history instead of saying my name every five seconds. I came for persistent pain during intercourse. She examined only about two inches, although the pain is four to five inches deep, then performed an ultrasound for only two seconds. I hate not being taken seriously. I know my body better than anyone. What is the point of seeing a doctor if they rush through the visit without addressing the problem? My urine test showed no infection, so infection should not be the cause, yet she still said it probably was. An infection would not recur in exactly the same place for several days every time. I drove nearly two hours only to be told it was probably nothing—a waste of time.

    Dr Naisbitt is warm welcoming and kind. I always enjoy seeing him and speaking to him on my annual visit. He’s a great Dr! The staff is always professional and helpful as well! I also see nurse Teri Kirkland and she is fabulous ! Thank you for the care I appreciate all of you !

    Dr. Julia Johnson was my physician. Everything was fine until I had an IUD inserted after giving birth. Afterward, I did not receive the care I deserved. She inserted it so forcefully that I began bleeding heavily, followed by ongoing pain and spotting. When I called, they said I could only wait because it was normal. Three months later, nothing had changed. They then suggested the strings might be too long and needed trimming, but Julia's next appointment was six weeks away. I booked it and kept waiting because I wanted the doctor who inserted the IUD to examine and correct it. After all that time, they called today to say Julia accepted my insurance only during pregnancy. Wonderful—I wish I had known months ago. Do not go to this clinic. They do not care how you feel or what is happening to your body, will not correct problems they caused, and will not tell you they cannot help. You are left waiting in pain. Honestly, this was the last straw. They truly do not care. Stay away and spare yourself the suffering. P.S. After checking in, you wait nearly an hour in the lobby, another 30 minutes in an exam room, and then the doctor gives you a cursory two-minute visit. A truly terrible place.

    If you are like me, scrolling through TikTok horror stories about first Pap smears or pelvic exams, shaking with anxiety, and wishing you could find one of those kind, patient, nonjudgmental doctors on TikTok, come here! I am writing this review because I had been searching for exactly that kind of doctor, lol. Dr. Kaitlin Ellison is very kind, approachable, and welcoming. Within seconds, she turned my first visit from terrifying into very comfortable. She listened carefully to my concerns without any judgment. I would absolutely recommend her. Also, if you are very afraid of a Pap smear or a similar exam, I recommend taking ibuprofen and Tylenol 30 minutes beforehand. I had no cramping or discomfort at all. For me, it did not hurt; it just felt slightly strange and uncomfortable for about 20 seconds. Again, I highly recommend her! :)

    我多次流产，他们说我的化验结果正常，身体没有任何问题。但我还是不断流产，直到我最终换了家医院，才立刻得到了我需要的治疗。这家医院根本不把病人当回事，也丝毫不关心病人的诉求。我和很多朋友都谈过这家医院，他们的说法都一样。

    更年期不是普通妇产科医生就能治疗的。你需要一位更年期专科医生。而劳拉·布莱克特医生正是这样一位专家。我非常感激能得到她细致的照顾和治疗，她会倾听我的诉求，并花时间满足我的需求。我喜欢这里，也喜欢劳拉医生。
