06/02/2020

Courteous front desk staff. No wait. Thorough exam and explanation.

05/29/2020

I felt that I left the office with no answers about why I'm in so much pain. I've had to figure out alternate methods to get some relief from my pain.

05/27/2020

I received the information that I needed and had my routine Pap smear. However, I do feel the bed side manner was not acceptable. I was pregnant and told my doctor I was still deciding on what to do. She asked me what my main concern was and I said financials and she said "financials is not a reason to not have a child." When I pushed back and said and what resources are you referring to? She responded with Pregnancy Centers and WIC. She did not know my religious affiliation nor political beliefs about Pregnancy Centers and WIC is an amazing program for mothers making a certain income, however she also didn't know my financial situation where I make too much for WIC but not enough to buy a home for myself and a child. It absolutely is a reason to not have a child. And while someone could "make it work" that is not a situation to throw a child into. Having a child watch their single mom struggle to make ends meet is not a life I want to give a child and it is again absolutely a reason to not have a child. So for her to say that to someone who was still making the incredibly hard decision of whether to have a child or not is absolutely unprofessional. And there's more to a financial decision that food and diapers.

05/22/2020

She was quick and helpful.
