PLEASE
READ
BEFORE
BOOKING
APPOINTMENT!!
HORRIBLE
EXPERIENCE!!
I
know
this
is
lengthy
but
it
is
worth
reading.
On
March
30,
2022,
I
had
the
worst
medical
experience
ever.
I
arrive
at
the
office,
check
in
and
the
sono
tech
brings
me
to
the
exam
room.
She
asks
me
what
brings
me
in
and
I
tell
her
that
the
reason
why
I
am
in
is
that
I
am
getting
the
liletta
IUD.
The
sono
tech
replies
and
tells
me
the
IUD
is
not
in
the
office.
Two
weeks
before
I
had
my
telehealth
visit
with
Dr.Anik,
she
reassured
me
that
the
office
always
carries
the
liletta
IUD’s
and
it
is
the
quickest
one
I
can
get.
Because
of
this,
is
why
I
decided
to
get
the
liletta
IUD.
Secondly,
my
original
appointment
was
for
the
week
prior,
with
all
this
being
said
my
IUD
should
have
been
in
office
for
my
March
30th
appointment.
Thankfully,
the
sono
tech
stepped
out
and
was
able
to
find
me
a
liletta
IUD.
This
is
when
Dr.
Faina
Gelman-
Nisanov
comes
in.
She
walks
into
the
room
without
even
any
eye
contact,
from
the
door
straight
to
the
countertop
that
was
in
the
room.
She
hands
me
over
the
consent
form
without
even
explaining
it.
Gelman
explains
to
me
that
they
usually
do
not
do
IUD
insertions
at
the
time
of
my
appointment
and
they
are
usually
booked
earlier
in
the
day.
That
comment
felt
passive-aggressive
and
rushed,
she
was
telling
me
this
because
she
wanted
to
leave.
After
everything
was
happening,
I
just
wanted
to
get
this
over
with.
She
was
very
rough,
to
begin
with,
I
mentioned
how
the
speculum
was
already
uncomfortable
and
she
proceed
to
rush
and
try
to
get
the
IUD
in.
Unfortunately,
my
cervix
was
very
closed
and
the
IUD
couldn’t
be
inserted.
I
was
in
a
lot
of
pain
and
had
such
abnormal
cramps,
when
I
sat
up
to
speak
to
her,
I
felt
like
I
was
going
to
faint.
Everything
in
the
room
became
so
dizzy
and
my
hearing
became
so
muffled,
my
head
felt
so
light,
I
was
almost
about
to
faint.
I
put
my
phone
camera
to
myself
and
I
looked
pale
and
lost
color
on
my
lips.
Throughout
the
whole
experience,
Faina
Gelman
made
me
feel
so
rushed.
The
sono
tech
was
so
much
more
help
than
she
was.
Faina
stepped
out
of
the
room
and
when
she
came
in,
she
asked
me
how
much
longer
I
was
going
to
take.
How
does
a
provider
ask
me
that
kind
of
question
when
I
am
on
the
verge
of
fainting
?
?
I
mentioned
that
my
father
was
on
his
way
from
queens
and
would
be
here
in
30-40
mins,
and
she
proceeded
to
tell
me
that
my
options
are
to
wait
downstairs
or
in
the
cafe
downstairs.
Excuse
me?
Horrible
bedside
manners.
First,
she
rushed
the
producer
and
then
rushed
me
out
in
the
condition
I’m
in.
I
asked
if
I
can
at
least
wait
in
the
waiting
room
and
she
tells
me
no
because
they
are
closing.
I
too
work
in
the
medical
field
and
I
know
how
to
treat
my
patients
with
care
and
have
proper
bedside
manners.
Clearly,
she
does
not
know,
that
“patients
come
first”.
The
downstairs
in
the
Soho
location
is
not
even
a
lobby
to
sit
in,
there
are
only
stairs
and
an
elevator.
The
cafe
next
door?
I
was
completely
distraught
and
couldn’t
believe
she
gave
me
those
options
and
in
the
current
health
condition,
I
was
in.
What
if
I
went
downstairs
or
even
to
this
cafe
next
door
and
fainted…
what
then?
I
will
never
be
returning
to
Maiden
Lane
and
Faina
Gelman
is
a
horrible
provider.
