| - I wish I'd come here and read the reviews before scheduling my appt for an annual with Dr. O'Sullivan. I'd had a bad experience with Dr. Nelson with the delivery of my daughter in 2009 (Considering him to manage your pregnancy? Don't do it. He's dangerously incompetent.) Due to my not wanting to see Dr. Neslon, I decided to schedule with Dr. O'Sullivan. Big mistake. She is bitter, angry and *unbelievably* unprofessional. This woman is a poor representation of the medical community. She started off by noticing that I'm starting a topical progesterone supplement this month. And so she asked me who had prescribed it, and I told her it was my physician who manages my thyroid condition. She asked me right away if it was a "Naturopath, or something like that?" & I informed her that, it was an MD, Integrative Medicine who had prescribed it for me. She then goes on to ask me what am I trying to achieve. Umm... I told her hormone balance. Duh! WTH do you think I'm trying to achieve? I explained that we had tested my levels and my progesterone level was low. She proceeded to ask me what my symptoms were. Basically, I felt like she was grilling me as to why I would be supplementing with progesterone. Aside from the fact that my freaking blood tests showed it was low? She then goes on to say "Well, the only proven benefit to supplementing with progesterone is sleep. It's not going to help with weight loss, or anything like that. Generally speaking, if you're still getting your cycle then you are fine, and I would not recommend supplementing with progesterone. But hey, sleep is important too, so that's okay." I'm sorry, but #1 I never mentioned weight loss (I'm already at a healthy weight) and #2 I'm pretty sure that progesterone supplementation is proven to correct a low progesterone level. How about that benefit? So then she is asking about other things and I mentioned that I'm in the early stages of a separation/divorce. She then tells me how she thinks happy marriages rarely exist, and how she knows maybe 2 happy marriages out of all the married friends she has. Well, that's uplifting. Thanks, Doc. So a little later in the conversation she goes on to say how awful the dating scene is today, and that "It's really disgusting out there. These women think they're okay since they've been married/only with one person for all these years, so they go and have sex with some guy whose slept with 300+ women while you've (she's) been married all those years. And they end up with herpes." And then she follows that lovely story by telling me "The only people who are dumber than my teenagers are the 40-something divorced women." I'm pretty much in shock at this point. So she goes on to say "... So just be sure and protect yourself and use a condom when you're out there sowing your wild oats". I could not believe my ears. My family life is falling apart, the last thing I'm worried about right now is "sowing my wild oats", and even of I were... what a $&*# stupid and wildly unprofessional thing to say to a patient, or anyone, for that matter. I think she's the most unprofessional physician I've ever encountered. Needless to say, I'll be finding a new OB.
