So annoyed with OB Gyn office

I had my ultrasound done on the 24th @ 1 p.m. and had a prenatal appointment right after @ 2 p.m. The Dr. I saw that day was one I hadn't seen or met before, she came in listened to the heartbeat and got on the computer to look for the ultrasound results. After about 10 minutes she gets up and says well they aren't here yet make sure you schedule your next appointment for 4 weeks and leaves, that's it! She didn't measure my stomach or ask if I had any questions, nothing!
So I go to the receptionist to schedule my appointment and I tell her I need to be seen when they come out to where I live which the midwife told me they were supposed to put all preggo women on there so we wouldn't have to travel. But it seems they always forget to add me to the list and then give me attitude when I tell them I need to be seen out here and cannot always travel the six hour round trip ferry ride just for a short appointment. :angry:

I called the day after my ultrasound to see if the Dr. had a chance to go over the results yet and left her my cell # so we could discuss it. Again I get attitude from the receptionist and she tells me to be patient because the Dr. is busy, which is fine I know that. Well no call that day or the next day, so I call again to remind them and again I get attitude from the receptionist and I still haven't received a call, so while I'm guessing everything must have been okay I really don't know and I want to know!
You can bet I'll be calling them again on Monday and I could care less if I annoy them. I shouldn't have to sit at home and worry when I know darn well they have my results. :angry:

Our OB office has gone through some major changes since I had my twins, there used to be an awesome OB that owned the clinic, she even called to check on me and the babies even though they ended up being delivered in Seattle by someone else. She always made you feel at ease and made sure all your questions were answered without making you feel like you were wasting her time. Now we have 2 permanent midwifes and all the OB's are traveling Dr.'s so you never know who you'll get. It really sucks! Maybe I had just been spoiled from the previous care but I wonder why would you go into a business that is so special and important to woman and be so cold and uncaring? Just because it's something they see and deal with everyday doesn't mean it's any less special to each and every woman that is going in there. Sorry just needed to get that off my chest.

 

:hug: Sorry you are having to go through that!
The receptionist at my regular ob is rude/snappy everytime I have been in there. It looks like that they would be alittle nicer to us pregnant women..LOL!
If you can't get answers have you thought about switching OB office's?

Take Care & Keep us posted

 

I agree with you! Just because they deal with pregnant women, their questions and problems day in and day out doesn't mean it's any less important to that one patient with one specific question or concern. Attitude is everything to me and a kind and caring disposition should be the number one requirement for anyone who works in a doctor's office. I hope it gets better for you.

 

I would switch OB offices in an instant if I could but the only other option is a midwife that owns her own clinic. She actually delivered my first DD but since the hospital requires a repeat c-section it wouldn't make sense to go to her.

 

Let us know what happens today & Good Luck!

 

Well I called again this morning and a different receptionist answered, thankfully she was really nice. She told me that the Dr. was with a patient but she would take my # and let me know as soon as she found out. She called about an hour after and told me that the Dr. went over the results and said everything looks great. There was a note saying that they didn't get a very good look at babies nose and lips but that was normal considering the position he was in. So now I feel better although I am wondering about one of the pics they gave me. What I thought was his lips looked way funky, but if they didn't get a good look at them it must have just been blurred from him moving or something. I'm going to bring the pic to my next appointment and ask, yes I'm a worry wart. LOL

 

Great to hear they called you back and things are wonderful!
Hey who doesn't worry..LOL!! Trust me you aren't the only worry wart DH tells me all the time I'm going to worry myself too death!
