Providence PatientI came to Dr. Tilles for my second pregnancy after a not so great experience with a different provider for my last pregnancy and she has exceeded all expectations. She spends plenty of time with me, takes my concerns seriously, and proactively follows up about things I am worried about.
Providence PatientI trust this doctor to take goid care of me as a person and to explain everything in a way I understand.
Providence PatientDr Tilles was very professional and thorough. I felt very comfortable with her. I also very appreciate that she was helpful in looking at more cost efficient prescriptions, as well as ordering a test that was clearly needed to set a baseline but was not ordered by my prior OB-GYN.

Providence PatientDr. Tilles was perhaps the best provider I have seen - her bedside manner is so caring and attentive and she seemed extremely knowledgable. I did not feel like just a number in her care as I've felt with past OBGYN doctors.

Providence PatientDr. Tilles is exceptional.
Providence PatientDidn't get the appointment as soon as we hoped, but after understanding the difficulty in getting appointments I'd say getting one here was pretty quick. This was the second OB we've tried related pregnancy and we will be sticking with her. We liked her a lot and appreciated her willingness to answer questions and provide thorough printed instructions and guidance.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles and her team helped make a very hard situation less hard.
Providence PatientDr. Tillies took time to listen to what my medical needs are and she's pleasant during the visit.
Providence PatientI honestly wish this provider Dr. Candace Tilles would be awarded for OBGYN of the YEAR at some point- if she hasn't already. She is literally the best doctor I have ever had and I am 54- post menopause etc. The office is so busy because I can tell that is where women know where to go for the most amazing doctors. She truly is one of a kind and very special.
Providence PatientDr Tillas is my OBGYN. I have only seen her a few times since joining St John's. She was wonderful. Warm and caring. She responded to my texts on the portal very quickly, and I felt well cared for. I like her a lot.
Providence PatientDr Tillis is very special to me. She helped me with getting a needed test that showed up Cancer in the Colon. I wouldn't have gotten the test yet. Cancer has been removed. Thanks Dr Tillis.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles is the best, so grateful for all of her excellent care!

Providence PatientGreat care
Providence PatientDr. Tilles and her staff consistently provide me excellent care. This last visit I had concerned about a mild anxiety attack that I suffered in the possible implications that had on my pregnancy. The doctor listened and took my concerns all very seriously in addition to ordering additional blood tests and ensuring that the remainder of my pregnancy was scheduled well in advance I'm grateful for her care. The staff did an excellent job making sure that I have all the right appointments calendar in. I was able to get my lab test request very quickly from the group.

Providence PatientDr Tilles asked questions and listened to what I had to say. She's a very good doctor.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles is a dream doctor. I am so happy I found her, she was able to relieve some chronic issues I was having. She is so kind and knowledgeable. It's so hard to find doctors who are actually patient and take the time to review everything and provide actual quality care. I can't explain how grateful I am to have found her.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles is amazing! Kind, intelligent, diligent, and an incredible surgeon and Ob.
Providence PatientShe was very nice, friendly and respectful. Listened carefully
Providence PatientI am blown away by the kindness and professionalism and compassion that everybody in that office has shown to me. Dr. Tilles is better than I ever could have expected. She is tuned into my needs and my levels of discomfort. She is extremely knowledgeable. She lets me be part of the decision making. She is kind and she really cares. If I have a reason to do something different, like taking a different medication, she is extremely flexible about it. I'm used to certain doctors seeming to be annoyed because I'm trying to get my needs met. That does not happen in this office.. I haven't been to a gynecologist in a long time and the ones I saw were male. I would never seek out a man again, after being treated with such consideration and good female energy.
Providence PatientProfessional, carrying,
Providence PatientDr. Tilles was extremely helpful and I respect her opinion. She was upbeat and encouraging which I truly appreciate.
Providence PatientEveryone at SMWH is caring and professional. Dr. Tilles is wonderful.
Providence PatientI could see the PA immediately, however seeing doctor took almost 30min. After seeing the doctor, all procedure went smoothly with timely manners.
Providence PatientDr Tilles was amazing and knowledgeable. I was very emotional about a diagnosis and she very calmly walked me through my options and a plan for care. I had a great experience

Providence PatientDr. Tilles has been truly exceptional. I trust her with my life, and I would trust her with the life of my loved ones as well.

Providence PatientI like Dr. Tilles. This was my first visit with her. She was attentive. She saw a problem and gave me choices. She was professional and courteous.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles is by far the best doctor I've ever had! Her experience and level of commitment to make sure you feel support is unmatched. She's heaven sent!
Providence PatientI used the Providence women's health clinic referral service to find a gynecologist. I needed someone who is kind and sensitive because I have PTSD and a TBI, and I can't work with a doctor who is insensitive and headstrong. Dr. Tilles was wonderful. This was an extremely good recommendation. She took everything seriously and explained the possible causes of my issues very well. We couldn't do the entire procedure because I have severe low back pain and it got triggered. I couldn't lie in the position that was necessary. She referred me to a doctor who deals with pain. I haven't had anybody be that proactive for me in years. So I'm in a process now and I'm going to see him on Monday. And I'm scheduled to go back to Dr. Tillles in a couple of months. She is phenomenal.
Providence PatientProvider answered all my questions.
Providence PatientDr Tillis has been wonderful to me. She was referred to me from another doctor and had to spend a lot of time (3 lab visits) adjusting my hormones, which she has now accomplished.I appreciate all the attention that she has given to my adjustment of hormones
Providence PatientDr. Tilles is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She listens, takes her time, and it's clear she truly cares about my well-being. I cannot say enough good things about her.
Providence PatientI feel very fortunate to have found a doctor for women health who actually cares and has a creative and intuitive mind while also being an esteemed doctor. Having the balance of both qualities --- I like to call it artistic science brain -- is literally what makes the BEST DOCTORS SHE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A DOCTOR MUST BE -- thank you

Providence PatientDr Tilles heard about my total body experience and is an excellent provider to address her expertise in relation to other issues outside her direct purview.
Providence PatientLovely, thoughtful, communicative, respectful.
Providence PatientThe doctor was wonderful. She was very caring to what my daughter was going through and handled the situation extremely well.
Providence PatientDr Tillis really cares about the cyst on my ovary and any other matter I raise with respect to "women's" health. She is very knowledgeable, and kind.
Providence PatientDr. Tilles was excellent. I haven't had a doctor for many years, and I needed to see a doctor fairly quickly. A friend referred me to this office, and (though it was still a few weeks before an appointment was available) I was able to get in faster than other offices I called. Dr. Tilles and the imaging specialist treated me with respect and kindness. They were very professional, and I felt like I got the care I needed. I will be back.
Providence PatientMy care provider, Dr. Tilles, whom I saw for the first time, immediately evoked confidence and professionalism.I felt in good hands. She took time to hear my medical concerns, examined me, and prescribed the proper medication. I already have recommended her to friends.

Providence PatientMy provider was excellent!!
Providence PatientDr. Tilles was really great. It was my first visit with her. She was kind, caring, obviously, very knowledgeable.
Providence PatientVery good doctor. So popular, that they are really busy, almost too busy.
Providence PatientI think Dr. Tilles is wonderful. All of my experiences with her have been great but I wish I could say the same about the techs and support staff. My husband and I had a disappointing experience with our ultrasound technician who kind of made us feel like we were at the DMV during a really emotional moment hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We felt kind of rushed, the wand was Inserted kind of... Carelessly And the bedside manner was not great. It wasn't blatant rudeness, just dissapointing bedside manor during a sensitive apointment. I've had this experience with tech's a few times in this office. Same feeling like I was being rushed and just generally not super friendly.
Providence PatientShe is wonderful Dr.Thank you.
Providence PatientTakes forever to get an appt but the doctor was excellent.
Providence PatientVery good and empathetic
Providence PatientDr. Tallis is a wonderful caring doctor. She listens attentively and with compassion,
Providence PatientI feel so lucky to finally have a doctor who is hands down everything I have ever wanted! Even my husband said Dr. Tilles is exactly what I was really hoping for you when finding a new OB. It's not just her brilliant knowledge, training, education, and Expertise but the way she treats you like she is your mother, sister, good friend, and more! She is genuine and gives you the time needed, never making you feel rushed even though she has a packed schedule and works from more than one office. She delegates her time flawlessly and it's hard to find the right words to truly describe how thankful I am to be receiving this kind of care from a busy Specialist. Thank you to Dr. Tilles and staff for being the best!!! I appreciate all of your time and care:)
Providence PatientGreat office and Drs!
