Accessible Warsaw: Warsaw Women's Center

My pick? Dr. Ryser.  She's wonderful.

 

It was time for that yearly visit to the "Women's Center". Except for that I have been a bad patient and haven't been for four years. (I've been to countless other doctors, but the gyno just wasn't the priority at this time in my life.) I was interested to see how this experience would go with my new limited mobility issues.

My expectations were high because this is a medical facility. The parking was excellent, well marked with ample room to get out of my car and easily head up the ramp to the front door.



Seamless parking lot to sidewalk transition.

 

The Women's Center continued the Warsaw tradition of not having a button to open the door easily. That was a disappointment and something I hope will change in the future.

Once I was in the building it was quite easy to get to where I needed to go. When things weren't as easy as they once were, for example transitioning out of my scooter and onto the bed in the exam room, the nurses and doctor couldn't have been more accommodating.

I was due for the dreaded mammogram. I like that at Warsaw Women's Center you can have the mammogram done right there in the building instead of having to go over to the hospital. They have a wheelchair in the building that I was able to use which made the mammogram easier. I was able to sit in the wheelchair, which has removable arms, and we could do the procedure from there.



Nice ramp and sidewalk to the door, but no door entry button.



 

Good accessibility and great accommodation, friendly nurses and Dr. Ryser is a pleasure. For being a doctor's appointment, it was a good experience!
