Services
We provide a full range of services, from annual check-ups and routine Pap smears to procedures performed in our office or surgeries in the hospital. For Ob Gyn we evaluate and treat patients with: abnormal Pap smears; abnormal human papilloma virus (HPV) tests; sexually transmitted infections; pelvic pain; fibroids; abnormal bleeding, infertility; menopause and aging issues.
As a service to our patients, for visits that do not require a physical exam and face to face encounter, we are offering telephone visits (audio only) and Telehealth visits through the web portal on a computer, or Healow app (audio and video) on your phone. Expect to be called by your provider at the scheduled time - although realize that we are extremely busy currently, and so we might call a few minutes late.
A wellness exam is a comprehensive preventative exam with your primary care provider for the sole purpose of preventative care. A wellness exam does not include discussion of new problems or management of chronic conditions. These exams may also be called annual exams, routine check-ups, yearly exams, an annual pap, or preventive visit.
We understand having a baby is a special moment in your life. We have providers available 24 hours a day 7 days a week for emergencies and urgent concerns. Our midwives take care of mostly uncomplicated pregnancies, and are specialists in natural birth. Our obstetricians have training in pregnancy complications like twins, IVF, diabetic pregnancies, hypertension in pregnancy, and perform C-sections when needed.
Our Certified Nurse Midwives are Heidi May, CNM and Courtney Amundson, CNM. Here are ten reasons you should consider making your next appointment with a midwife at Chena Ob/Gyn. Our goal is to help you have the birth you want and what makes sense for your circumstances. We do our best to assist you, and support your use of relaxation techniques such as the use of the labor tub, or other techniques.

If I could give each department their own star rating, the family medical would get 1 star just cause you can't do 0 stars. And the OBGYN would get a 4 star rating.
Family medical- 0 stars, I started going there and from what and how they were saying things, as a new parent, it sounds like my newborn baby was dying and my husband and I are were horrible parents. One we've never had a kid before, two the doctors at the hospital in the birthing room didn't show us how to breast feed her even after us telling them that she was our first child, and three everyone expected us to know everything on

After years of trying to figure out what was wrong, I was encouraged by my Nurse to go see Chena Health OBGYN. I really didn't know what to expect and no one listened before, however I thought why not? I was introduced to Dr. Ellie Hogenson. I was a deer in the headlights. I didn't know what to do. Dr. Hogenson, talked to me, listened hard, and just like that we decided to figure out what was going on with me. There was no hesitation, no judgement, or me feeling like I was losing my mind. I had a Doctor who wanted to be proactive and I was scared to find out. However, I knew I would get answers

I had an appointment this morning; the nurse put me in an exam room but didn't tell the doctor I was there. Apparently the doctor didn't bother asking, so I sat there for 45 minutes before going out to find out what was going on. Editing to add, in response to the non-apology: I did not "feel" forgotten, I WAS forgotten. No one bothered to tell the doctor I was there, and she didn't bother to ask. Nor was it busy.

Saw NP Collins told her my twin has pcos. She said no I don’t have it. I told her i should get tested. No didn’t test me and always late to appointments. Suggested I lose weight or go on weight loss pills. Then got switched to dr lessner. No I don’t have pcos no test preformed just fat should lose weight. Wrote in my chart sensitive about weight but didn’t write dr refused to do any further testing. Went to another clinic got on pcos meds. And I’m pregnant.

Dr. Hogenson Is the worst OBgYN in town . I didn’t see her once when I was in Labor with my son . The nurses pretty much Delivered him . I would not Recommend her to Deliver anyone’s baby. I can’t believe someone like that can be a doctor, very hands off . Very Disappointed in Chena health by far the worst place to go for Pregnancy care !

Everything about this place is amazing. I went here my whole pregnancy and 4 months after until we moved to a different state. The receptionists are all amazing and I called frequently. The nurse advice line is phenomenal and the doctors are outstanding. Kimberly Schumacher was my OB and the most caring doctor I have ever had, she made me feel so comfortable and was amazing during delivery as well. I saw almost every provider and they were all amazing but dr Schumacher will be missed the most. I wish I could find a doctor like her where we live now.

I cannot say enough positive things about this practice. From the office staff to the doctors and nurses- everyone was always extremely kind and efficient, My wife is seeing Dr.Hogenson for her prenatal care and She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, HIGHLY recommend her as one of the most caring, empathetic, highly knowledgeable OB-GYNS a patient could hope to find, (we could not ask for a better doctor!) I highly recommend this office to anyone who is pregnant and looking for great care.

So grateful for Chena Obstetrics and Gynecology! I personally see Dr. Schumacher and have had nothing but great experiences with her. She is one of the few doctors who listens to their patients and advocates for them. Dr. Schumacher has helped to provide me with a happier and healthier life, all due to the amazing care I have received from her. The entire clinic is full of incredibly caring staff who go above and beyond for their patients. I highly recommend Chena Obstetrics and Gynecology to anyone looking for high quality obstetrics or gynecology care.

I went to Chena OBGYN with my first two pregnancies and saw Dale Hardy. He is the most amazing midwife! He is hysterically funny and turns an awkward situation comfortable. The staff there is amazing as well. Dr Shannon is super incredible as well. It is very easy to connect with her and open up to her about situations you might not want to mention. I would fly halfway around the world to have these two part of any pregnancy of mine. They truly are super amazing!
