The technician/doctor assistant described everything she was seeing and why she was moving the ultrasound wave in certain spots. It is a very nerve wrecking kind of appointment but she put me at ease with her demeanor and detailed explanations.
She was very calming and sweet and also explained everything in a way that I could easily understand.

The tech was very informative and friendly while conducting the appointment.
The lack of empathy between the doctor to a new patient was no where to be found . I was told after having a miscarriage and finding out I was a newly diabetic that this doctor was the best to see when trying again. I was then reminded by said doctor that I was morbidly Obese on more than ten occasions, I was then told that I should not try at all and if I did that my child would come out with a Neurological delay due to being "morbidly obese " . I was then suggested more than once that I get a gastric sleeve and that I try a holistic method ! When I didn't give much of a response she decided to hit me with "do you have any more questions " with out even speaking on the possibility of me being pregnant and what would be required of me . In no way did she make me feel as if she was a maternal fetal medicine specialist but yet a bad Nutritionist which I have been attending for two years with out once being called morbidly obese . Woman like me come and see this doctors for some hope that after a devastating experience there is hope at the end of the tunnel NOT to be called morbidly obese get told that if they attempt to have a child that it will have autism and is then pushed to a surgery which is not within her field or a holistic approach because she "has a friend " .

I was glad that this appointment was scheduled in the first place since it was precautionary based on the experience I had in my first pregnancy. I was reassured after receiving good news and felt cared for and tended to.
