Can I Switch Doctors (15 Weeks)
Hello all đź’•
I’m really unhappy with my current OB. Here are my following issues-
•Doesn’t like to answer questions I have, wether it comes to “what is that on the Ultrasound?” Or something as simple as “Oh wow! I never knew that, why is does that need to be tested?” questions out of pure curiosity as a FTM not out of insult.
•Says she will call with test results...never calls and doesn’t have good communication with labs. I had to tell HER the gender of my baby because she didn’t contact the lab. We wanted the gender to be a surprise and it was upsetting to the lab call me and tell me because of lack of communication
•Doesn’t care to ask any of my symptoms, how I’m doing, or tell me what I can or can’t do for my specific pregnancy. I have to rely heavily of what I learn online which isn’t specific or necessarily safe for ALL pregnancies. She told me after my ultrasound i might have a placenta previa or I might not. That’s all she said and didn’t help me understand what that meant or what I should not do.
•While were in the office I’ve heard her discuss other patients test results of Pap smears, etc. and that’s really unprofessional and worrisome
•Her and her husband own the practice and apparently he is doing my anatomy scan? She didn’t explain why at all AND I’ve never met him. I’m extremely uncomfortable for personal reasons with male doctors and she didn’t ask if this was okay with me or anything-only walked out after.
•I have OCD and specified this on my medical paperwork. She didn’t seem to find it important to go over even though my mental state through pregnancy has definitely been compromised because of my OCD
Because if all of this AND more I want to switch OB.
Does anyone have advice or experience doing this??
