We went in today for an ultrasound specifically to look for a neural tube defect given my last daughter having spina bifida. The ultrasound was to be immediately followed by an OB to go over the results. Upon arrival, Michon was not aware I had even had an ultrasound and in our opinion did not provide us with a detailed review of the imaging. She then explained a level one ultrasound couldn’t give great details and they don’t do level 2 ultrasounds at 16 weeks. This is objectively false as a level 2 ultrasound at 16 weeks by an MFM was how my daughters spina bifida was diagnosed. Later in the exam, after learning I had had fetal surgery in my last pregnancy, casually asked me if the baby survived - luckily she did but can you imagine if we had endured the tragic loss of our child and had to off handedly answer that question. I asked several questions during the exam that went unanswered. I will never be seeing her again and would recommend anyone with pregnant or birth trauma to avoid her.

Love seeing her. As soon as she enters the room, there is a comfort vibe she gives off. She’s informative and always asks if I have questions. Always seems as though she really cares and treats you as a person and not just a number. . She explains and wants to make sure I understand fully. She always goes above and beyond if other services are needed she knows right where to refer to and what the next step is. She responds quickly through mychart. Has great bedside manner in a clinical setting if that makes sense. I wait another month just to be able to get in with her because her schedule is always full, but glad I wait. She is smart and experienced in her field and does a great job
