3.0 star star star star_border star_borderShe had great bedside manner and exams were done professionally. However, I was disappointed in how she spoke about guidance for what not to do while pregnant. This included “not even a sip of alcoholâ€. I pushed back on this because I have a literal sip of alcohol every few weeks when the craving hits. The response was well from now on, not even a sip. Do you really think you need it? Honestly, I found this judgey and well designed studies have not shown light drinking to have a negative impact in pregnancy. I did not continue the conversation but left the office questioning the other guidance she had provided and less trust than I would like to have with my medical professionals. This was generally a positive experience, but that small interaction left a bad taste in my mouth.

5.0 star star star star starMary Vaikutis has treated me through both my pregnancies. I had an appointment with her today about a reoccurring issues. She was very helpful and reassuring that this problem would be resolved. My blood pressure was most concerning; 164/111. I had been admittedly lapsed in my medication. Frankly, I pretended that it wasn't an issue. But Mary insisted that I walk over to the ER after our visit for treatment, and I did. Thanks to her compassion and concern for my overall health, the ER doctors put me back on a consistent BP regimen.

5.0 star star star star starWell what can I not say, she has a bed side matter that can handle any mood that a patient is in on their visit. She keeps me on my toes and abreast of any changes with health. Helping me to understand all nee developments, and following up on the ones. Answers all questions to the best of her ability. When I see her she always makes me feel like it is myself, her and the knowledge of self awareness of understanding with my health.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderI know I was a last minute addition to the clinic’s day, for that I’m grateful. She had a very calming bedside manner and helped make something painful and uncomfortable less so. However, when the procedure didn’t work and she needed to get to all the rest of the patients she needed to see, I felt a bit rushed and dismissed. I think she is a more than capable practitioner so I don’t want to cast any stones at anyone. It was just not a good day for any one perhaps. I’m very grateful she kept trying to find a doctor for me and in awe that there was zero available to at least come talk to me.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderShe is friendly and polite, but felt very rushed. She never sat down and only looked for my fetal heart beat but did not do any other exam, I have been getting breast pain and didn’t get to address this based on how rushed everything was.

5.0 star star star star starI can’t say enough good things about the quality of the care provided. Mary know and understands my health history, is attentive and informative and an all around terrific caregiver and person. I always feel I am in the best hands.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderMary was behind schedule so we waited in the room for about 30 minutes. That happens - not a problem. What I did not necessarily like was that after we patiently waited without complaint, she appeared rushed during the appointment.

4.0 star star star star star_borderShe is so incredibly nice and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to talk with the doctors about my care. The only reason I didn’t give a 10 was because my pregnancy has been very different than a “normal†pregnancy and I felt she didn’t read into my chart before coming into the room. My previous appointment we had a whole plan laid out, and today I felt we didn’t schedule any of the things I was told would be scheduled today. I just felt I had to explain my medical history a lot more than I should have. This is probably more the schedulers fault for not having me see a doctor (Mary said this as well so I’m not saying she isn’t competent because she is haha! I’m just a little complicated in what’s happened)

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
