| - It makes me sad to write this review, but I feel that others need to be aware of my experience. Dr. Sauter and Dr. Leon delivered my first child in 2015 via C-section and I had no complications, so I trusted them. I was pregnant again this year and at 10 weeks I had some bleeding and believed I had miscarried. I called the doctor's office and they had me come in for an ultrasound and checkup. I had a trans vaginal ultrasound and the tech said I did have a miscarriage and everything had passed. Dr. Leon is my primary OBGYN and she was not present during the ultrasound. I did have a checkup with her afterwards and she said I was all clear. As I was checking out, the nurse told me that I should have another blood draw to confirm my HCG levels were going down. I did that before I left and assumed that I was okay since I didn't hear any different afterwards. Seven days later, I woke up with stomach cramps and I felt hot, then cold, like the flu. I stood up and passed out on the floor. I laid down again for a half hour, then tried standing again. I passed out cold another 2 times, so my husband (thank God he was home) called an ambulance and I was rushed to the hospital. When I got there, my blood pressure was in the 40's and my temperature was reading 85 degrees. Long story short, I hadn't miscarried, but I had an ectopic pregnancy and my fallopian tube had ruptured. By the time I got to the hospital, I had already lost 3 liters (60%) of my blood into my abdomen. They ER was desperate to save me and immediately started a blood transfusion to stabilize me (I was "critical"), then rushed me into surgery. Thank God for the amazing doctors, nurses and surgeons that saved my life! They said I was very lucky and would have bled to death within an hour had I not gotten to the hospital. I have gotten several medical opinions and this is something that Dr. Leon should have checked for!!! It is standard practice to look for an ectopic pregnancy, especially when a woman thinks she miscarried, but didn't have a lot of bleeding. The baby was an inch and a half long and would've been hard to miss had they properly checked me. I could have avoided this life threatening event and possibly saved my fallopian tube. The kicker is that the office called my husband during my emergency surgery and told them that I should come in the office in the next week because my HCG levels were high. What?! That should have been a red flag and I should've gotten a call several days before this! Bottom line, they were negligent and it almost cost me my life and my 16 month old son his mommy.
