I’ve never sat with an OB doctor for so long! I appreciated her individualized attention. She had a lot of information. However, she might have spent a little too much time talking about the risks of pregnancy/genetic abnormalities for my age (39). She said she likes patients to know their options regarding stats and genetic testing etc, but I found myself way more worried walking out of that office than I ever have in an appointment.

She took the time to explain and risks and suggested the best ways to avoid that and still address the problem effectively. I also appreciated her timeliness. She was incredibly friendly and helpful. Her nurse, I believe her name was Maria? Was exceptional as well. Both were very kind.
