Terrible OB Offices
I moved here 3 months ago when I was 4 months pregnant and had a really hard time obtaining my previous medical records with one office, so I had to force them to enter my medical records into the system by coming up every day. A month and a half ago they'd told me that they had received my records, so I went up there to get a copy for myself and when I got there they told me they had nothing for me. So I started calling daily, going up there and having the ladies at the front speak with the records department so the office couldn't lie and say they'd never received them, they must not have sent them, etc. So by that time I decided to go with a different office, different midwife. I've been to a single appointment and the midwife was so rude as well as the office staff, but I figured I'd push on and continue care with them. I went up there for a glucose test today. My appointment was 8am, when the office opened. It took them an hour to get me back to do my vitals, and then another 40 min to get back to take the glucose drink. They pricked my finger and told me that my glucose level was already too high to continue with the test so they put me in a room to wait for the midwife. I was back there for so long that I fell asleep for an hour and a half, nobody had come to check on me. I had other things to do, so I stepped out of the room and the woman who put me in the room looked like she'd seen a ghost so I walked myself to check out to tell them what was happening and they got an attitude with me, rescheduled me for 2 weeks from now and basically threw the appointment card at me and slammed their lil plastic door in my face.. I have an appointment with the original office in a week, however they were the ones acting like they'd never seen my records despite telling me that they'd already had them. I'm 7 & 1/2 months pregnant and I'm so frustrated that I went from good, caring offices to a place where nobody gives a shit about baby and I. I more than likely have gestational diabetes and my mental health has declined by a lot between worrying about baby and my pre-existing mental illness. I'm due on July 5th, I had pre-eclampsia with my first child and I'm really trying not to freak out.
And I had an appointment to make it to for my daughter before anybody thinks I was just being impatient. Like a solid 3 hours at the OB when I made it there before their doors had even opened. The office staff were laughing and snickering at the different people walking in, when I went to the check out window a woman completely out of dress code was standing around with 4 other office members planning a party of some type so they SNAPPED their FINGERS and pointed to the next window without a single word spoken. If you work in an OB office like this, do better.
