Emily Sammons's Online Review Report Card

I have been seeing Dr. Sammons for literally as long as I can remember. Even as a teen she made me feel comfortable. She has never made me feel dumb for asking questions and explains things in a way that I can understand and reiterate to my loved ones after appointments. I can`t begin to tell you how much I have learned from her. She is thorough- I`ve come in for a routine pap and had her notice my thyroid looked enlarged. Bloodwork confirmed she was right. She follows up with me via phone - I had a scare early on in one of my pregnancies and was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from her just to check in and make sure everything was handled on their end. She pays attention to the portal, leaves clear, concise notes and is prompt. But most importantly, I feel I always know I can trust her judgement in an emergency. I have been with her long enough to have a good grasp on her values, and her mindset and reasoning always aligns with mine. I feel grateful to have a doctor that cares as much as she does.

I really wanted to like this doctor. After experiencing a traumatic loss, I switched from a previous provider to Dr. Sammons with high hopes for a positive experience. I became pregnant again and when visiting Dr. Sammons for routine prenatal care, she constantly tried to get me to take anti-anxiety medication. I repeatedly told her I wasn't interested in taking it and I was getting upset because any time I asked even a simple question, she would say I had anxiety and would call the meds in to my pharmacy anyway. During my pregnancy I was also concerned with a breast lump, particularly because a family member has breast cancer, and she made some very condescending remarks and wouldn't investigate the lump further. With every visit, she was a minimum of 45-60 minutes late for my appointment without so much as an apology. At my last visit, her staff literally skipped me and she didn't see me until well past an hour after my appointment. I will be finding a different provider.

Always acts annoyed and condescending, routinely had at wait an hour past appointment time to be seen, front desk staff are extremely rude.

I’ve seen Dr. Sammons for 3 years now. She is very knowledgeable, but has strong opinions on birth control. She continuously pressured me to go back on birth control even though I feel 1000% better off of it. She likes to push the IUD. When I wouldn’t accept that, she wouldn’t let me leave the office without taking a free sample of phexxi “in case I have an oops.” I use FAM, take my temperature each morning, monitor my cycle, etc. But it seems she thinks I’m too stupid to not get pregnant even though this method has worked for the past year. I like that she explains things thoroughly and answers my questions, but she seems condescending the whole time, almost like she’s talking down to a child. I will be looking into a different OBGYN, one that is more open to natural, hormone-free birth control.

Most uncomfortable OB visit I've ever had... She started the appointment off complaining about scheduling & how I should schedule at the LSL location instead of Wentzville. She made it seem like my appointment was inconvenient to her. Misdiagnosed & neglected to treat a bump I had. On top of all that, the receptionist was rude. After weeks of no improvement, I went to a different OB and it was a much better experience.

Dr Sammons is AMAZING

I’ve been with Dr. Sammons for nearly 10 years and she’s been great from the very beginning. After dealing with years of symptoms with no explanations, she finally diagnosed me with the one disease that accounted for everything, which helped me to get the proper treatment and deal with my infertility. I also love that she doesn’t coddle me. She has good bedside manner but she also meets you at your level, wherever that may be, and she doesn’t beat around the bush or sugarcoat things. She gives me honest and accurate information and allows me to make my own choices based off the whole picture. She’s been with me through all of my ups and downs and has been thorough the entire time.

this dr repeatedly made me feel ashamed when she asked my number of sexual partners. additionally, when a friend of mine was sexually assaulted, she asked her if she had been leading her attacker on and how many drinks she had had. this is not a safe environment for a medical provider.

Excellent provider! She listens to her patient and is clinically very good. I highly recommend!

I was very happy with Dr. Sammons. I felt very comfortable talking to her and she is obviously very qualified. I felt a sense of relief after discussing my issue with her. Highly recommend Dr. Sammons.
