What Our Patients Are Saying

“I had seen Dr. Gore for care prior to the pandemic and thought she was really great. I trusted her surgical skills for a procedure, with wonderful results. When I heard that she was finally opening her own practice here in Wilmington, I was so excited! My first call to her new office was answered by a very kind young lady and I was thrilled that she could get me scheduled so quickly. I had my first appointment with Dr Gore yesterday and it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. She is so warm and engaging. She excels at putting her patients at ease and making sure they feel seen and heard. She answered all of my questions and really took the time that practitioners should with their patients. I also really enjoyed meeting her fantastic office staff and assistants, especially Chandler. The work and effort they have put into making the Lotus Center a beautiful and comfortable environment is commendable. I will be recommending Dr. Gore and The Lotus Center to all of my friends. Thank you for putting your heart into this practice Dr. Gore! The woman of Wilmington are lucky to have you!”

Mary K.

“From the moment I walked in and was greeted with warm friendly smiles from Cameron and Heather and a reassuring touch on the shoulder from a doctor in the lobby (very sweet gesture btw) I can't say enough good things about this fabulous Lotus Center of Health. Meredith my attending, was wonderfully compassionate. I was in a lot of pain and she and her nurses Lisa and Angela made me feel like I was in good hands as they were sweet and kind as they could be. Meredith had a thoughtful way of allowing you to have your own agency in your medical care decisions, whilst expertly diagnosing and advising you from her professional perspective. I feel fully confident and grateful to be in her care and look forward to being an established patient at a health facility where I feel SAFE, HEARD and CARED for. The work you do there is important to women's lives on so many levels. Thank you for giving us a much needed alternative to the "corporate" medical facilities. It's nice to see and feel the "human touch" back in healthcare. ”

“The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were with me every step of the way and made me feel very welcome and comfortable.”

Christy C.

“Dr.Gore and her staff are amazing! She helped diagnose and remove my incredibly rare umbilical endometriosis. My primary and Dr.Gore were the only ones who actually listened to me and my symptoms. If not for Dr.Gore, I would have had to have exploratory that a gastroenterologist wanted because they completely ignored my symptoms related to my menstrual cycle. I likely would have given up and just excepted the pain and bleeding from my belly button if not for Dr.Gore and all her knowledge!”

Surf City G.

“Great place you feel welcome when you walk in. The staff are very helpful.”

Sharon K.

“I could write 25 paragraphs of my experience at Lotus but I will keep it short. From start to finish the time I was there was amazing. It has been a long time since I’ve felt seen and heard when it comes to my health, especially female health. I was not rushed, I felt completely comfortable asking all my questions and the medical staff took their time answering them. The location is aesthetically pleasing, it didn’t feel sterile and cold like most facilities- it was warm and welcoming. I cannot say enough great things. Even the way everyone who worked there interacted with one another was SO REFRESHING. If you’ve been thinking about a new GYN Dr, please give Lotus a try. Very grateful Wilmington has this now- more doctors and medical professionals should take notes from Lotus!!! Thank you!!”

Abby G.

“Coming from a nurse who has given up on most western medicine, Lotus was a place that made me feel extremely comfortable. Every single test, procedure and step was explained to me. I never felt rushed, I never felt judged, I felt welcomed by women who truly love what they do and it shows. Thank you Lotus for giving me some hope!!”

I will be recommending this practice to all the girls.”

Again, Im so happy they opened!”

Michelle

“My care at this office has far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Gore and her staff are unbelievably caring and it shows in every detail. Very strong communication with the front desk: nurse and of course, Dr. Gore. I wasn’t sure this type of healthcare existed and I’m so glad I found them.”

Bailey H.

“I had a great experience at this office. Everyone I interacted with was kind, welcoming, and professional. Amber (NP) did my exam and she was amazing!

I’ll be recommending them to everyone around me!”

The Milky Mermaid Lactation Natalie W., IBCLC

“Very welcoming and calm place. The doctor was very insightful and friendly. love the environment! 🤩”

Hannah R.

“I struggle to find exactly the best words to describe Dr. Gore and the Lotus Center. She is extremely knowledgeable, comforting and has a presence of understanding and grace. I called for an appointment and was met with the kindest voice on the phone. To my wonder, I was given an appointment for the very next day. I expected I would meet Dr. Gore for a consultation. However due to a medical concern found on recent ultrasound, her team proceeded with a further diagnostic procedure which was wholeheartedly welcomed by me. The Lotus Center, created by Dr. Gore, creates a sense of welcoming and peace. Surrounded by plantings and the evidence of the lotus flower throughout one can truly sense the quieting soothing energy within. I am 80 and have had excellent health. Surprise, surprise to be gifted with a gyn issue on my 80th birthday. I am beyond grateful I found Dr. Gore and the Lotus Center. I hope this very lengthy review gets read all the way through... It's worth it. ❤️”

Ginni B.

“It was my first time here. Office was beautiful and clean. The staff were very friendly. Would recommend this practice!”

Kathryn F.

“This was my first time going to Lotus, and I had such an amazing experience. The lady at the front desk was so polite and welcoming, and the waiting area is very peaceful. Amber (NP) did my exam and made me feel so comfortable and was easy to talk to. After my exam, I spoke with Dr. Gore for a little while. She answered all my questions, and I didn’t feel rushed. I was very pleased and impressed with my first visit!”

Lindsay M.

“So happy I found this practice and my practitioner! The office and staff made me feel comfortable every step of the way. They were kind, attentive, and professional.”

Corinne Y.

“Amazing staff and super nice!! I felt so welcomed and comfortable and all my questions were answered with confidence and I couldn’t recommend a better OB!:))”

Kate B.

“This is an Awesome office! My provider answered all of my questions in a knowledgeable and personable way. The vibe of the clinic is so relaxing and supportive of all different types of people. I highly recommend this provider.”

Emily B.

“This is the first time I have ever felt heard or seen by any doctor, and I work in healthcare. Meredith took the time to listen to all of my concerns, scheduled labs to be drawn the following week, and an Ultrasound the week after that. She is kind and attentive and will listen to your needs without judging you, or making you feel bad about it. It was a very comforting position to be in. While I haven’t necessarily had any bad experiences with my previous OBGYN, the visit felt rushed & they were only in there for like 5-7 minutes. Meredith takes the time to get to the bottom of the problem and wants to solve it with you.”

Parker B.

“I love Dr. Gore and I have traveled as far as 1.5 hours to continue to have her has my GYN. She’s truly incredible. The Lotus center feels like a peaceful retreat and I highly recommend it to every one.”

Jenny M.

“I have been to several doctors in my life time including OBGYNs. I can state without reservation that I have never felt as at ease as I was with Dr. Gore, her medical staff and her front desk folks for my medical treatment. I was treated extremely well and felt that I was looked at as an individual because my needs were listened to and proper care was given to meet those needs. Dr. Gore took a great deal of time and care to explain my condition and how she planned to treat me. My visit was sincerely pleasant and I highly recommend Dr.Gore. She’s genuine and was so kind as well as professional. With many practices making patients feel rushed and nervous Dr. Gore is a true find!”

Rosemary P.

“Dr. Gore is amazing and I have never had a bad experience! Lotus is a beautiful and clean facility and space. Everyone is friendly and I never have anxiety coming in for a visit. I love when there’s a team I go to that I can 100% trust. Thank you Lotus Center of Health!”

Alicia E.

“I can not stress the importance of drs like Dr gore and her staff enough!! She is the best, all inclusive and it’s a therapy session and exam all in one. I searched around quite a bit to find Dr gore a while back and I am beyond grateful (for my health and mental wellbeing) she’s back in Wilmington!”

Caitlin W.

“I’m absolutely amazed by my experience. The office is absolutely gorgeous and the staff very sweet. I got an appointment really fast, the intake paperwork is really comprehensive and specific, you can tell they are very focused on addressing all your concerns and genuinely cover all of the basis when it comes to your health or whatever your concern may be. My appointments were really smooth and scheduling was accommodating. I was able to an ultrasound and lab work done on site which made it much easier for me! I could review my results on the patient portal after discussing with the doctor which is fantastic. The Dr was very mindful about medication cost and pharmacy choice as well which is always a plus. Overall I felt very empowered and supported and I will never go anywhere else! Thank you guys.”
