Everything
December 25, 2023
This is based on the PA, not Dr Maassen since the PA Greta is who helped me with initial treatment. I have a complex history due to requiring Cryotherapy for my Cervix. The PA was not able to insert the IUD and did not know why it was not working, and after 5 attempts the Nurse said she was going to go get Dr Maassen and she did. Dr Maassen came in and immediately could see that I had Scar tissue from past Cryotherapy treatments that was causing the problem and she was able to insert the IUD a different way. With my complex history, going forward I will always know to double check that the Dr will be the primary person seeing and treating me.

I appreciate Dr. Maassen very much. She is centered, insightful and she listens to understand. Her presence is calming and her genuine interest in your concerns allows for a natural flow of information sharing. My mother had just passed away a few weeks before my appointment and Dr. Maassen was incredibly supportive and kind. She was also realistic with the grieving yet to come, and she shared information and a plan for follow up if needed. Her wherewithal in that moment was just what I needed.

October 20, 2022
She is the best physician I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She has genuine concern, compassion, explains things to me in a way I can understand, puts up with my 100 questions, etc. She puts my mind at ease but while being honest of risk. We build a plan and we execute it. I never have any pause that she will get me and my baby through anything. She's the only reason we feel comfortable trying for a 3rd child. If she left we would stop trying.

Dr. Maassen made me feel listened to and she accepted my concerns. She showed care and concern and this was my first time meeting her. I wish I would have lived here when I started having children 12 years ago!! I will be referring all of my female friends to her for care.
