Stephanie Smolen Michel

Valerie has the worst customer service/attitude. Very ugly attitude! She does NOT belong in the front helping the ladies. Ugh!

I love Dr. Michel. Her relaxed manor always puts me at ease. It is more like talking to a friend than a Dr.

Dr. Stephanie is one of the best! I’m blessed to have her as my OB. She always takes her time to listen and explain. Something that is very rare now with docs. Always an awesome experience with her.

Do NOT use Dr. Michel. She prefers to control her clients instead of ask questions to understand her clients needs. I met her for 5 minutes after my 1st ultrasound. The US looked good. Without getting to know me, at 8 weeks she told me I'd need to come back at 12 weeks for a pap smear and cervical check ( I had one almost a year ago). I said I won't be doing that & i dont want people messing with my cervix right now (i didnt tell her but it was due to miscarriage trauma) . Her response was then we won't work out. Red flag ????no 1. Secondly, I'm on a beta blocker which can reduce melatonin up to 80% and make sleep challenging. She knew I would take melatonin (she didn't know how much, how often, or why - cuz she didn't ask). She said she didn't recommend melatonin due to the lack of research. Actually, there is more research coming out that melatonin is helpful to mother and potentially babe. The Sleep Foundation.org states "Melatonin may also affect neurological development in a fetus, reducing the likelihood of problems such as brain lesions." But, if not enough research is her "logic" then beta blockers don't have that much research on their effects during pregnancy either (Class C drugs). Her logic is flawed if she is calling herself "data driven". As patient, we deserve care that is collaborative. We deserve doctors who want to get to know us. We deserve to know our options and risks- not only what the OB wants us to do. We deserve to feel safe with great doctors looking at for our wellbeing. I didn't experience anything I deserve with Dr. Michel. It's exhausting to advocate for our wellbeing especially during pregnancy. Do NOT use Dr. Michel. She prefers to control her clients instead of ask questions to understand her clients needs. … More

Great experience year after year! Love the online self-check-in. Highly skilled medical professionals with outstanding communications—very thorough in explaining every action they take to manage expectations and to make a top notch patient experience. Thank you, Dr Michel/team — see you next year.

Stephanie is very professional. Was very comfortable with her.

Dr. Michel is the best. She makes an OB appointment seem not so bad. She’s very nice and knowledgeable. I am super happy I changed to her many years ago.

I didn’t have a good experience here. Staff has been unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time. I scheduled my appointment in Dec, came on time and waited to be seen for my yearly check up. After the nurse takes me to the room and has me fill out paperwork, I wait another 20 minutes only for Dr. Michel to decide to cancel all appointments that morning. I had taken off work to come to this appointment and wasn’t given the courtesy to be notified in advance. I had to reschedule for March and have now been notified that my appointment is cancelled once again via text. I try to call to reschedule, but no response… I didn’t have a good experience here.

I have been seeing Dr. Michel for over 8 years and I don’t know if I would trust any other doctor! She is the best!

Dr. Michel is wonderful! She always has time for any questions or concerns. She always wants you to be comfortable and knowledgeable about your care. The office space is always clean and the staff is friendly.

Dr S. Michel was wonderful. The office is lovely, staff are kind and attentive, and it was extremely comfortable throughout the whole process. I am going to be seeing her regularly when needed. All of my questions answered and was given take home brochures to read up on. I would highly recommend Dr. S. Michel for your women related needs. Dr S. Michel was wonderful.

Dr.Michel is amazing person who knows to give good confidence and advise to patients at time in need.Her staff is kind and well behaved.except some delays in appointments, we never faced any problem with Dr Michel and team. We are happy and safe to be with them.

Dr. Michel is wonderful! Great experience here. She was gentle, kind, and efficient, and I was in and out in less than 30 minutes for my yearly check up.

I researched what female OBGYNs were the best in central Texas, and Dr. Michel was rated at the top. She has been amazing. I love her straight forward, no nonsense attitude, yet she has a sense of humor which helps you to relax. She’s great about answering any questions you may have, and her down to earth way of responding makes any kind of nervousness go away. Her staff have been great about answering any of my questions, and they are also incredibly nice. I would definitely choose Dr. Michel again as my OBGYN in the future.

She’s the absolute best! I can’t speak for others, but I love her and have never had any issues. Unless I for some reason move out of TX, or until she retires, I will never change her as my OB. Her and her team always put you first, they listen to your concerns or needs, and they go over & beyond to make sure you are comfortable and very well taken cared of. Unfortunately, me and my boyfriend had a miscarriage and lost our son almost half way into the pregnancy… the care that we received from them was amazing. I honestly would not want to go through the trauma that I sadly did, with any other Dr & team. I HIGHLY recommend!! 100 out of 10! She’s the absolute best!

Dr. Michel is extremely patient and kind and listens attentively to your needs. She is thorough and great at explaining things. I’m very much on the “nervous” side when it comes to these visits, and I’m very happy with my experience in her office. The staff is great, too; very warm and friendly as well as good listeners.

She is really Good!

Dr. Michel is awesome!

Dr. Michel is a friendly, kind, gentle doctor. I never have any complaints. Addresses any questions or concerns. Great experience every time.

Dr. Michele is great! I highly recommend her!

Super friendly & efficient. All the nurses and front desk workers were also very friendly & helpful.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Michel after having been with another provider for several years, and I was a bit nervous. But Dr. Michel was so fantastic and so was her nurse!! Her nurse (whose name I wish I could remember!) was so thorough and had such a calming and wonderful demeanor. She is really so good at her job. Dr. Michel was also so wonderful!! She listened to all of my concerns, spoke to me about options and set me up to do some bloodwork to get some answers. She put me completely at ease and I felt truly heard and not rushed at all. I am so glad to have found her as my new Doctor, I would highly recommend her!!

When I first came to this doctor I saw Dr. Maunder and he was amazing and helped me every time. When Dr. Maunder retired I was out with another doctor who was going to try and help me and was going on maternity leave. I was excited to have someone who would care about my situation and help me. The next time I need to come in she’s on Maternity leave and I need to see another doctor so I do. I have been flipped though so many doctors at this point And my doctor is on Maternity leave so I can’t call and ask for a medication that I’m not allergic to with a bit of a challenge but the doctor sees my chart and knows and sees it’s called in before and calls it in for me and I always go the next day the office is open. I called today knowing my doctor is on Maternity leave but that the doctors can read my chart. I called today to get a prescription I have been called in 100 times and it has to be that certain one and when I call to get it and say I’ll come in tomorrow I just need relief after 4 days due to it being a holiday I was told that Dr. Stephanie Michel would not prescribe me something every other doctor and would and told her I just want the name brand of the prescription that my doctor on maternity leave just prescribed me. That she didn’t think it was the right call and I need to come in and see her. I told her I couldn’t wait that long and I could come tomorrow when they are open but need something right now. I was bluntly told then go to urgent care. When I mentioned it’s on my profile she said yes I can see it but I’m not prescribing it. You can wait to be seen tomorrow or go to urgent care. I would not recommend this practice to anyone and if you do have to go do not see Dr. Stephanie Michel. She is rude and has no decency for anyone in need and seems to only care about herself. I will be finding a new obgyn after 5 years of going to this OBGYN When I first came to this doctor I saw Dr. Maunder and he was amazing and helped me every time.

Professional and kind service every time!

Dr. Michel was wonderful and really made me feel heard with my first pregnancy.

Dr. Michel made me feel so comfortable! I was so worried I wouldn’t find a gyno as great as my last one that retired so it’s refreshing to find Dr. Michel!

As a first time mom my nerves were already high and adding a pandemic to the mix did not make it any better. It was very important for me to find care in an OBGYN that was professional, compassionate and that I could trust. I started doing my research and came across Dr.Michel who matched the description of what I was looking for in an OBGYN. I am so glad that I found her! She just delivered my beautiful daughter on 10/05 and It was nothing short of an amazing experience from day 1 at my 7 week appointment to the day of delivery. If you are looking for great care I highly recommend Dr.Michel and her staff! I hope she is able to be my OB for many more years to come!

Always have a great experience with Dr Michel and the office staff.

I have been going to Dr. Michele for a couple years for my yearly exams. She is easy to talk to and listens attentively.

First time to be seen by Dr. Mitchell. All the staff in her office are very friendly, accommodating and efficient. Dr.Mitchell is very thorough, making sure all bases are covered for prevention. Really appreciate their professionalism.

Dr. Michelle was amazing. She had wonderful bedside manner and was gentle with her procedure. I highly recommend her she’s very knowledgeable and explains everything wonderfully.

Felt safe with COVID-19 alert message and protocol. Service friendly and informative.

We love Dr. Michel! She’s done a great job for us and delivered 3 of our babies. Her staff is also wonderful. Highly recommend!

I met with Dr. Michel today for the first time, and it definitely won’t be my last time! She was very informative, super friendly, and listened intently to all my concerns. I felt very comfortable speaking with her and felt that she was very down to earth. I’ll be recommending her to all of my friends due to my great experience with her.
