Phase II Center for Women's Health Reviews
Dr Angela Jones really heard me and offered great advice.
I had a fantastic experience at this office. The staff are friendly and professional. Dr. Jones is thorough, approachable and knowledgeable. I felt seen and heard.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Graul for the past 12 years, and I can’t speak highly enough of the care and attention she provides. From day one, she has always taken the time to truly listen and understand my concerns.What sets Dr. Graul apart is not only her deep knowledge as a gynecologist, but also her ability to communicate clearly and offer advice that is both practical and comforting. She has consistently guided me with genuine care and insight, always considering the bigger picture for ongoing support and well-being.
Dr. Graul is a gem of a gynecologist: experienced, gentle, efficient, straight-forward, and personable. I have never had such a quick and painless pelvic exam. WOW. That woman has found a cervix or two! Additionally, Dr. Graul took the time to listen to my concerns re my cycle/fertility. She collaborated with me as we devised a course of action, but still took the lead like a capable a physician should. She also placated some of my more irrational fears with simple explanations and sound science. I feel so lucky to be in her care, and I desperately hope she doesn’t retire before my childbearing years.
I saw Julie Jones after losing my former doctor in the pandemic. Julie is great! Great sense of humor and very kind, but extremely thorough and helpful. She reviewed my labs in detail with me - I've never had a doctor do that. She is treating my perimenopause with compassion and care. Love her! Office staff are all great as well, very kind and helpful.

During your consultation, Dr. Graul will review all aspects of endometrial ablation and discuss alternative treatments if you are still considering having children.

Patients will typically be able to return to their normal schedule the following day, but it is advised to avoid sex for about one month. Most can feel back to normal within a week. Full recovery typically occurs within 2 – 3 weeks. Watery or bloody discharge may be experienced by some for up to three days to a few weeks after their procedure.
