Our Practice

The physicians and staff are so pleased you have chosen Camelback Women’s Health! We are a comprehensive obstetrics and gynecology practice committed to providing excellent health care for women of all ages, from adolescence to post-menopause, we are here to help you through life’s changes.

 

 

Our History

Dr.’s DeSanto, Nelson, and Schwartz worked closely together in the OB/Gyn department of Arizona Physician’s Center, a large hospital-owned, multi-specialty practice.

 

The physicians made the decision to resign from Arizona Physicians Center in May of 2000. We officially became Camelback Women’s Health on September 15, 2000, a physician owned and independently operated.   We were fortunate to be part of Camelback Women’s Health’s growth over the years with the addition of dedicated Women’s Health Nurse Practitioners, as well as in-office ultrasound and mammography.

 

In 2023, Camelback Women’s Health was acquired by Unified Women’s Healthcare:

 

Unified empowers women’s health providers at 925+ locations to transform women’s healthcare experiences for their patients, while preserving clinical autonomy and supporting innovation and practice growth. With Unified focusing on the business of medicine, our affiliate ObGyns can focus solely on the practice of medicine. Our medical affiliates boast an average patient satisfaction rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, and many have served local families for multiple generations.

 

 

 

Our Goals

At Camelback Women’s Health, we have specific goals that help us to provide the highest standard of care in the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, gynecologic surgery, infertility and preventative women’s health care for the women in our community. At our practice, we strive to do the following.

 

1. Involve our patients in the decisions about their healthcare by listening to their concerns and educating our patients on their particular medical circumstances.

 

2. Promote a compassionate and caring environment for patients and their families in comfortable surroundings.

 

3. Maintain a commitment to private medical practice where we can best advocate for our patient’s unique medical circumstances within the local healthcare system and preserve the privacy of their medical records.

 

4. Commit to continuing education to provide the most up to date treatments for our patients.

 

5. Provide exceptional care at an affordable price.

    赶紧换一家诊所!前台接待和办公室经理态度恶劣。德桑托医生已经去世,如果他泉下有知,看到自己多年来的患者遭受如此对待,一定会气得从坟墓里跳出来。这家诊所真是太丢人了!尼尔森医生即将退休,所以诊所里都是新员工。如果你喜欢被人恶劣对待,那就来这里吧!还有,除非你喜欢苦等,否则千万别来。他们通常都会迟到很久。

    这是我第二次来这家诊所。第一次是在麻醉下更换了宫​​内节育器,之前我在他们位于比尔特莫尔的诊所咨询过护士。预约的是8点半,我当时已经到了停车场,他们7点57分打电话告诉我医生有手术,来不了了。我问他们有没有其他医生可以帮我,因为我已经开了40分钟的车,他们说没有。我觉得这太不合理了,还是去了诊所。结果前台根本查不到我的预约记录,后来联系了他们的排班部门才知道是他们打电话取消了我的预约。我问他们为什么没有值班医生,或者如果医生要接生,能不能给我换个医生。前台回答说,我应该知道,既然我预约了医生,就有可能因为紧急手术而被取消预约。需要说明的是,我并没有特别要求这次复诊是由医生进行的,甚至也没有主动预约这次复诊,它是六周前我更换宫内节育器时,诊所给我安排的。 这意味着患者需要自行了解医生的日程安排,并尝试重新预约,而不是在诊所打电话取消预约时寻求帮助。诊所工作人员还告诉我,其他医生可以“酌情安排”。虽然我告诉打电话的人我已经到了诊所,但他们似乎根本没有确认是否有其他医生可以接诊,直到我在前台态度不好之后,他们才去查看是否有其他医生可以接诊。感谢那位能够安排我进行三分钟宫内节育器线检查的医生。 我写这篇评论是希望工作人员在办公室打电话取消已经到达的病人的预约时,能够真正地给予帮助。病人不应该下车后还要请人帮忙查看是否有其他医生可以接诊,更不应该在一开始就责怪病人胆敢预约医生,而我之前从未被告知可以选择护士或其他我“知道”将来会在那里的医护人员。

    布莱克斯通医生太棒了,而且非常温柔! 她解释得非常清楚,让我对整个治疗过程都感到很安心。
    Jun 20, 2026
    今天带我妻子去做预约。我震惊地发现她受到了极其恶劣的对待。她是韩裔美国人。前台的两个女人态度粗鲁,根本不愿帮忙。她们懒散又冷漠。我们来这家诊所很多年了,从来没遇到过这种情况。再见!

    My primary care doctor recommended Dr. Burkhardt, whom she apparently knew personally. I waited nearly two months for an appointment, only to receive a call today saying they could not keep it and needed to reschedule. As other reviews mention, the front-desk staff are rude, and it takes a long time to reach anyone.
    May 29, 2026
    I am surprised this is a gynecology clinic when they do not help women who come seeking care.
    Jun 2, 2026
    I only needed STI testing and a Pap smear... If there is a line outside your door, why make me wait two months? I would rather go to Banner Health. No, thank you.

    I am extremely disappointed that a bill was sent to collections without any prior notice. I never received a letter, email, phone call, voicemail, or text message about an outstanding balance. Even more frustrating, I remained a patient at this practice for three years after the bill was supposedly due. During that time, I had multiple appointments, most recently in February 2026, yet no one ever mentioned an unpaid balance. Had I been informed, I certainly would have paid it. Instead, I first learned about it from a collection agency three years later. A professional medical practice should communicate billing issues directly to patients. Sending an account to collections without making a reasonable effort to notify the patient is unacceptable.

    I’m so grateful to Dawn Huff and her wonderful medical assistant for fitting me into the schedule at the last minute before my international travel. I was dealing with a very painful issue that needed immediate attention. I truly appreciated how supported and cared for I felt during a stressful time, I was treated with kindness and urgency. Highly recommend!

    I was very disappointed by my experience with Dr. Anita Bernhard. During the visit, I made a lighthearted joke and received a cold, insensitive, and upsetting response: ‘Get a divorce.’ I immediately felt uncomfortable. More concerning, during the examination the doctor found a lump in my breast and asked me to confirm it myself. Given my family history of breast and cervical cancer, this was already extremely anxiety-provoking. After an ultrasound and an abnormal Pap smear result, I expected prompt, direct communication from the doctor. Instead, I had to call repeatedly and ultimately received a response from a medical assistant rather than the doctor. The doctor never called me personally about these serious health concerns. Clear and compassionate communication is essential for patients facing potentially serious health issues. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

    I have been a patient of Camelback Women’s Health for almost 10 years. I have never, ever, had a negative experience. I am always called back for my appointments with minimal wait and seen promptly. Audrey is a great care provider. She is kind, thorough yet efficient, and easy to talk to. I feel well cared for by this medical group and will continue to come here for my women’s health care needs. I highly recommend this practice!

    The front desk staff were friendly. However, the clinical team, or at least the team members I encountered, did not practice trauma-informed care or follow the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ (ACOG) recommendations for pain management during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. When I called to schedule, I asked whether they offered pain management such as injectable lidocaine and was told they did. When I arrived, however, the nurse said they did not provide it and that injectable lidocaine made no difference. This was my second IUD insertion, and I learned in an extremely painful way that injectable lidocaine does matter. ACOG recommends it for a reason. I understand that my appointment was late in the day and the team may have been ready to go home after working all day, but I was frightened and disappointed by their attitude. I was especially upset that the team member who brought me back repeatedly said, “I don’t have time to deal with this,” after discovering the front desk had not arranged a urine test.

    Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Rebecca is wonderful! She is gentle, patient, and makes you feel very comfortable.

    Excellent service. The staff are very friendly and happy to answer questions. The doctors and nurses are wonderful.

    Dr. Zeng is a special doctor. As you can imagine, we developed a very close bond with her over the past nine months. She was always so caring and made me feel heard and reassured, which was essential during pregnancy, especially with my first child. I truly appreciated her calm, gentle tone; she never made me panic. She was flexible, and it was clear that she genuinely had our best interests at heart. The delivery was encouraging and filled with positive energy. She kept motivating me and guided me in a calm, supportive way. She never pressured me into any decision, but asked how I felt about each option. We are very grateful to her for giving us such a wonderful experience.

    It had been some time since my last visit, and this experience reminded me why I stopped coming here. They treated me like a number and dismissed every concern I raised. I expected better from a doctor who treats only women. I later saw another doctor who correctly diagnosed my condition from a urine test. They overlooked something so simple.

    The woman at the front desk was very rude while checking me in. I did not have my insurance information but could have obtained it within minutes. Because I was already 5 minutes past my appointment time, they said I had to reschedule. I had waited a month and a half for this appointment and now had to move it another 3 weeks because they could not wait 5 minutes for insurance information. They showed no understanding and made no effort to help resolve the issue. Do not come here.

    I’m a new patient at Camelback Women’s Care and have had an excellent experience. I saw Megan Speakermire, NP, for my annual exam, and she was kind, thoughtful, efficient, and thorough. She listened carefully and offered sound, practical advice. Everyone, from the front office staff to the nurses, was warm and welcoming. My mid-morning appointment began on time, which I appreciated. I returned for my mammogram, conveniently offered at the facility. Chantel, the radiology technician, was wonderful. She made me completely comfortable, explained every step, and was clearly very knowledgeable. It was my first mammogram, and I was surprised by how quick, smooth, and comfortable it was. I highly recommend Camelback Women’s Care to anyone seeking compassionate, efficient, and professional women’s healthcare.

    I have been going to Julie Bergdale at Camelback Women’s Health for 18 years (Nelson was my ob prior). Top of the line treatment in every regard. From Karan at the front desk to the health providers, by far a class act.

    The receptionist was so rude to my sister that I cannot believe she still has a job. When my sister called to ask why she had to pay for her last three visits when those charges had already been reimbursed, the receptionist told her to learn how to say no.

    Dr. Schwartz and Maggie are not only outstanding clinicians but angels. It is rare to find people who are so compassionate, intelligent, and kindhearted. Stop searching and trust this practice to help you find the right gynecologist and obstetrician. Believe me, I have tried many doctors, and you will not find anyone like Dr. Schwartz or Maggie. If you do, you are very fortunate.

    A very good hospital with excellent doctors and support staff. Dr. Anita Bernard made our pregnancy journey easy, with prompt responses and clear communication. Highly recommended.
    Aug 7, 2025
    I have been coming here for some time and have always liked my doctor, but the office management is poor. The front desk and phone staff need customer-service training. Today I waited 17.29 minutes before hanging up, and calls consistently take over five minutes to answer.

    Margaret Castor is highly professional and thorough. I strongly recommend her!

    I was a long-term patient at Camelback Women's Health and had never experienced a problem until recently. I always received good care during my annual exams and appreciated the staff's professionalism, but my most recent visit was deeply disappointing. During my annual exam, I casually asked the doctor to remove a small skin tag. She did so without hesitation and never told me the minor procedure would involve an additional charge. Had I known, I certainly would have declined. I was later surprised to find the fee on my bill. When I called the billing department for clarification, I received a dismissive and unprofessional response. The representative told me word for word that I “obviously did not understand how doctors' offices charge.” My call was then transferred to someone else, who explained that the charge could not be waived. Ironically, they even noted that I had never had a previous issue, reinforcing my point that I had no reason to expect an extra charge. I calmly explained my history as a responsible patient: always paying on time, remaining cooperative and supportive, and even responding to the clinic's feedback requests. The office manager said she would call me back. I hoped she might show some understanding or at least acknowledge my concern. Unfortunately, that conversation offered neither. As someone who has worked in customer service for more than ten years, I can confidently say this was one of the worst service experiences I have encountered. Waiving a small $35 fee would have cost the clinic little and retained a loyal patient. It is clear, however, that my continued loyalty and good patient history did not matter. Sadly, I will not return to Camelback Women's Health. It is disappointing to leave a clinic I trusted for years, but I will not support a practice that does not value patient relationships or basic courtesy.

    I had an excellent experience with this clinic during both of my pregnancies! The doctors and staff are wonderful—kind, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.
    Jul 2, 2025
    Painful experience—not recommended During my IUD insertion, I was told I would receive five pain-relief measures, but I received only one. There was no cervical softener, lidocaine gel, or cervical block—the doctor did not even mention that option. I essentially had to rely on my partner for distraction, which obviously did nothing to relieve the physical pain. I later learned from TikTok and other patients' reviews that good clinics offer multiple pain-management options, and now I understand why this clinic's rating is so low. I left in pain. I will definitely go elsewhere in the future. No one should undergo a procedure like this without appropriate care or informed options.

    Olivia Blackstone is like a robot. There was no connection between us. I asked her to complete a form so the days I missed work because of illness in early pregnancy would not count against my pay, but she refused. She said she could not complete a form excusing me from work and implied that I was lazy and seeking an undeserved benefit. That was not what I was asking for. I spent more time preparing for and waiting for the appointment than she spent providing care. I truly do not understand what her role is when an AI robot could do it better. I will need to find someone else to deliver my baby.

    Allie Kosena is amazing. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

    Deeply Disappointed by the Lack of Urgent Care and Empathy I am extremely disappointed by Camelback Women's Health's lack of urgency, compassion, and care during a pregnancy emergency. After calling the on-call OB-GYN, I was told to go immediately to the Paradise Valley location because I was experiencing heavy bleeding and had passed a large piece of tissue. The doctor specifically said to tell the staff it was an emergency. However, when I called ahead, the call center simply said, “There is nothing I can do.” There was no attempt to escalate my situation and no compassion, only indifference. When I arrived just as the clinic opened, I expected to be seen promptly given the nature of my condition. Instead, I was told the earliest appointment was at 3:40 p.m.—hours later. I was distressed, bleeding heavily, extremely anxious, and needed immediate medical attention. The staff's complete lack of urgency and empathy was shocking and unacceptable. I trusted this clinic to provide prompt and compassionate prenatal care, but I was dismissed and delayed at a critical moment. No patient, especially one experiencing a miscarriage or pregnancy emergency, should be treated as an afterthought. If you are looking for a clinic that prioritizes patient care, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. Do better.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this clinic. I have seen Dr. Steven Nelson for the past 5 years, and he delivered 2 of my 4 children. His knowledge and bedside manner are far superior to the care I received before finding this clinic. I am grateful to have received such excellent care during my pregnancies and look forward to many more years of continued care.

    Dr. DeSanto is an excellent, caring physician. If you have medical issues or complications during pregnancy, he is also the team member you want. We were told we needed to see MFM and be managed as high risk, but with Dr. DeSanto's expertise, we received the best care even when things became complicated. During the final stage of pregnancy, he ensured we received extra monitoring, and when I went into preterm labor, he returned before dawn on a weekend to deliver our baby, who went to the NICU. When we experienced a miscarriage, he was caring and supportive and took time to call me personally and check on me. I always saw him rather than rotating nurses as at other practices. Dr. DeSanto is experienced, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and compassionate. He is also pragmatic and honest. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, complications, or other medical issues, he is exactly the person you want.

    Margaret Castor was wonderful. She helped me understand my medications and ordered preventive screenings for me. I have been coming here for more than 8 years, and they are all excellent. Highly recommended for any woman taking an active role in her health.
    Feb 12, 2025
    If you are new to Camelback Women's Health, note these two points: - Sending medical information to a referring provider is challenging and, in some cases, requires the referred provider to visit the office personally. (The staff are well aware of this issue.) - Standard procedures were omitted during the annual examination.
    Feb 14, 2025
    This was my first appointment with Dr. Olivia Blackstone, DO. She is easy to talk to, listens well, and shared helpful information. I plan to become a regular patient. The office staff and medical assistants were very pleasant and helpful. I could not ask for better.
    Oct 12, 2024
    If I could, I would probably leave no stars. I called two weeks ago to make an appointment, explained that I was in pain, and was told the earliest available appointment was in December. I said to the woman on the phone, 'I am telling you I am in pain, and the earliest you can see me is December?' She replied that unfortunately this was correct. I explained that I had been a patient there for years, was not a new patient, and had a problem. Again, she said she was sorry, but that was their earliest appointment. I said I had no choice but to find another doctor. She said okay and did not care at all. A friend recommended Women's Health AZ. I spoke with a very pleasant woman who initially scheduled me with a PA/NP, but after hearing about my problem and medical history, she arranged for me to see an MD within two weeks. I had my appointment today and am very pleased with their office. I do have a problem and was referred to another specialist. This used to be an excellent office. My last few experiences have been terrible.

    Where do I begin? Dr. Schwartz delivered my son, my second pregnancy. She is knowledgeable, caring, thorough, helpful, and has an excellent bedside manner. I was honestly very afraid because my first pregnancy with another provider involved a traumatic delivery, but Dr. Schwartz assured me that this delivery would be smooth and stress-free. I am truly grateful that I found her. She is an outstanding OB-GYN, and I love her. All the CWH staff are also consistently kind and welcoming, waits are short, and the facility is clean and spacious. Thank you all for caring for me during pregnancy. I highly recommend this practice without hesitation!
    Jul 3, 2024
    Friendly environment, courteous staff, and knowledgeable NPs who help address questions and concerns and provide education.
    Jul 12, 2024
    Excellent, clean facility with wonderful doctors who always listen to your concerns and never rush you out. I recommend Dr. Nelson and Dr. Anita Bernhardt. When I had severe cramping, the doctor prescribed appropriate medication that relieved my symptoms. Highly recommended 👌
    Jul 18, 2024
    I cannot speak about every doctor in this office, but I strongly advise against seeing Dr. DeSanto. He did not treat me as a person. He did not listen, misdiagnosed me, and refused to acknowledge or answer my questions. He was harsh and not gentle in his care. I left in tears, frightened and in pain. I have posted a more detailed review of him if you want further explanation.
    Aug 9, 2024
    I had a wonderful experience at CWH. Dr. Schwartz delivered my first child in 2022 and will deliver my next child later this year. She is knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and attentive to every concern. Between visits with Dr. Schwartz, I saw several NPs. I recommend Audrey, Kim, or Holly; they are all caring, kind, and knowledgeable. I do not recommend Megan, however. We saw her several times during my first pregnancy, and I felt she did not care. She never acknowledged my husband when he had questions and was always rude to him. She seemed to give only generic answers and advice. I hope this helps the next person. Having an excellent provider who cares is very important.
