Patient Rating
Patients consistently praise Dr. Paegle (Rita) as kind, compassionate, and attentive, noting she listens well and makes them feel comfortable. Many emphasize her clear, thorough communication, willingness to answer questions, and that she explains care options and reasoning while taking time with patients, though some mention difficulty getting an appointment due to a busy schedule. A small number of comments describe a poor experience when the provider was covering for another clinician and gave limited information and guidance about a procedure, leaving the patient feeling unsupported.

Dr. Paegle was fantastic! She was kind, patient, and answered every question I had in detail while also explaining her recommendations and the reasoning behind those. I would absolutely recommend her!
Very calm provider. Good first meeting and appreciate the forethought to schedule things well in advance. She pre-empted the majority of our questions!

Dr Paegles took time to do careful and thorough patient intake evaluation. She offered plans of care options and the research behind each suggestion.
Wonderful care provider. She listens, knows her patients, takes her time and is a great communicator. True patient care. Highly recommended.
Rita Alina Paegle, CNM, took the time to answer questions and listen to my concerns, not just the stated reason for the visit. She offered great advice and took the time to offer validation for my feelings. She treated me as a whole person and not just as a diagnosis or an appointment to get through. We need more providers like her in healthcare, especially in women's health!
Rita is amazing. I've been seeing her for many years. She is caring, personable, accepting, and safe.
I felt immediately at ease with her, she answered all my questions, helped calmed all my fears.
Rita has always been lovely. She makes you feel very cared for, is efficient and thorough and never makes you feel rushed.
I had a great experience with Dr. Paegle. I am always a little nervous to try and explain what I am feeling and noticing regarding my health. But I felt comfortable and included in all the decision. She asked good questions and didn't make assumptions. I felt that she took her time with my appointment and was not rushed. I will say that getting an appointment was the hardest part, because her schedule was booked out quite far.
Kind, very professional
Dr. Rita is not just a doctor; she is a mother. She carefully listened to our concerns and made sure to work on our request in a very timely manner. From our interaction with her, we could observe that she cares. We are glad to have her as our doctor!

Rita is amazing. When she's there she's very present, she explains things in a way I can easily understand, and I appreciate that she provided me enough information to be well-informed without overloading me with information that I don't need just yet for how far along I am in my pregnancy.
Rita is one of the most caring and calming medical professionals I've ever had the joy of working with. She's so compassionate and I can tell she really cares about me as a patient and as a person. She's also fantastic at explaining things in a way that calms anxiety while keeping me very informed.

This was my first time meeting with Rita and she went above and beyond with my care. She made me feel heard, cared for, and comfortable during a difficult time.

She seemed very present, thoughtful and personable.
She was very kind and I felt very comfortable with her.
Rita was excellent
Rita was excellent. This was the best experience I've had at a women's health clinic. I felt like I was listened to, and Rita communicated clearly what was happening during the exam.
I was very upset by the visit I had. I recognize that this care provider was covering for my normal doctor but I felt like I was given very little information about my options due to the circumstances of how my pregnancy was progressing. I came out of the appointment feeling defeated and with little information about such a big decision in terms of my care. The provider gave such little information that I had to do my own research and turn to friends who luckily work in obstetrics to learn more about the esv procedure. She didn't seem confident in explaining the data behind this process. She did not provide me with any additional information and showed very little care besides make a decision by tomorrow'. A person in her position should be able to explain the risks/benefits of this kind of decision and provide more guidance to patients.
I was disappointed Dr Summers was not able to be there, but the Nurse taking his place was great!
Excellent service
