Absolute
worse
experience
I
have
had
in
healthcare.
I
would
never
recommend
this
facility
to
anyone
seeking
competent
care.
I
have
been
a
registered
nurse
for
the
past
10
years,
but
by
no
stretch
of
the
imagination
have
I
had
any
experiences
in
Obstetrics.
I
moved
to
Laurel
from
Washington
DC
about
2
years
ago
and
came
across
this
clinic
then
after
reviewing
some
fair
ratings
in
addition.
to
the
fact
that
it
was
in
close
proximity
to
my
new
home.
After
my
husband
and
I
became
pregnant
it
made
sense
to
me
to
continue
my
care
at
the
same
facility
where
I
had
received
my
yearly
well-woman
checkups.
I
am
currently
19
weeks
pregnant
and
had
been
receiving
care
at
this
establishment
since
I
was
6
weeks
pregnant.
I
have
a
history
of
fibroids,
however
no
other
past
medical
history
in
addition
to
receiving
a
myomectomy
with
Dr.
Ein
sometime
in
2019.
I
began
to
see
Dr.
Norman
and
Dr.
Coates
for
my
prenatal
care.
I
never
received
detailed
prenatal
education,
and
I
never
was
informed
as
to
how
fibroids
were
effected
during
pregnancy.
Again,
I
trusted
Dr.
Norman
and
Dr.
Coates,
and
I
believed
that
they
would
provide
me
with
the
best
information
possible.
I
felt
even
safer
with
Dr.
Coates
because
she
was
a
black
woman
and
by
default
I
gave
her
the
benefit
of
any
doubt.
When
I
was
16
weeks
after
leaving
work
I
drove
myself
to
the
emergency
room
where
I
met
my
husband.
I
was
in
the
worse
pain
I
had
ever
experienced
in
my
life.
I
contacted
Dr.
Norman
who
was
on
call
that
weekend
who
advised
me
to
visit
the
emergency
room
for
evaluation.
Once
there
I
received
an
ultrasound
that
revealed
that
the
fibroid
at
the
base
of
my
uterus
that
was
once
much
less
than
5cm
was
now
7.3cm
and
likely
degenerating
causing
extreme
pain.
I
was
told
to
follow
up
with
Dr.
Norman
within
a
day.
I
did
so.
I
was
irate.
Why
had
they
not
been
monitoring
the
growth
of
my
fibroids
throughout
the
course
of
my
pregnancy?
Why
had
they
not
warned
me
that
this
was
a
possibility?
Why
as
a
healthcare
professional
did
I
feel
the
most
vulnerable
in
a
field
that
Ive
worked
for
the
last
10
years?
I
visited
Dr.
Norman
the
following
Tuesday.
I
sat
in
his
office
communicating
my
concerns.
Seeing
the
frustration
on
my
face
he
rushed
to
look
at
records
that
obviously
were
not
reviewed
prior
to
my
line
of
questioning.
I
demanded
to
be
referred
to
a
high
risk
doctor.
Dr.
Norman
stated
that
he
would
even
though
"they're
going
to
tell
you
the
same
things
I've
told
you".
Dr.
Norman
wasn't
buying
the
degenerating
fibroid
theory
even
though
all
the
stars
were
aligning.
I
had
severe
pain,
a
7cm
fibroid
at
the
base
of
my
uterus,
and
if
he
possessed
any
level
of
care
he
would
have
also
noted
that
my
hemoglobin
was
now
8.7
on
the
emergency
room
report,
prior
blood
work
taken
from
his
facility
was
11.8.
Dr.
Norman
played
doctor,
took
out
his
portable
doppler,
placed
it
to
my
abdomen
to
listen
for
a
heart
beat.
This
was
the
extent
of
his
assessment.
Disgusting
in
retrospect.
I
followed
up
at
Georgetown
with
a
high
risk
doctor.
Godsent.
I
was
in
awe
of
the
staff.
From
the
front
desk
clerks
to
the
ultrasound
tech
to
the
physician.
Everyone
was
warm,
welcoming
and
attention
detailed.
I
was
examined
and
was
found
to
actually
have
a
10cm
fibroid
at
the
base
of
my
uterus
and
was
quickly
diagnosed
with
degenerating
fibroids
after
clear
view
on
ultrasound.
I
feel
as
if
Im
in
good
hands.
My
doctor
even
called
me
over
the
weekend
to
ensure
that
I
was
doing
well
and
to
let
me
know
that
he
was
attempting
to
get
me
in
for
my
second
appointment
even
sooner.
I
am
extremely
happy
that
things
unraveled
when
they
did
and
I
had
the
opportunity
and
foresight
to
seek
care
elsewhere.
Even
when
I
communicated
the
pain
I
was
having
Dr.
Norman
stated
that
my
pain
was
probably
round
ligament
pain
with
no
further
investigation.
My
recommendation,
if
you
have
any
preexisting
issues,
please
do
not
waste
your
time
at
this
clinic.
Take
your
health
and
the
health
of
your
little
one
into
your
own
hands
and
find
the
best
doctors
to
provide
you
with
the
best
care.
-Safe
Delivery
Beloveds.
