| - If you are looking for a decent OBGYN, look ANYWHERE else! I have had multiple appointments with three different doctors here, and each time my experience with MomDoc got worse.
The first time I visited MomDoc was because I thought my IUD was trying to come out. I had been to the ER and they told me to see an OBGYN, my friend referred me to MomDoc. Everything seemed professional and fine during my first visit. The ultrasound showed my IUD in perfect placement, so Doctor #1 thought that I had a ruptured uterine cyst. Later, during a second ER visit, the doctor told me there was NO WAY I could have had a uterine cyst because there would be "debris" in my uterus. There was none.
So, Strike 1: misdiagnosis based on uneducated guessing.
That brings me to visit number two...I came in for itching, inflammation, and discomfort (a yeast ingection). I had to wait for the doctor for 30 minutes in the exam room. I told her I have chronic yeast infections and that it was pretty much guaranteed that I had one. She took a look and said I had it. She prescribed me two diflucan pills. I told her in the past I have needed more than just two pills. She told me I "should be fine" and to call if it didn't go away after the two pills she was willing to prescribe.
Strike 2: they did not listen to me when I provided educated and informed knowledge about my own body (and then treated me like a child). Diflucan is an antifungal medication. Prescribing more than two pills is not the end of the world. My old OBGYN office used to ask me if I needed more diflucan every time I called them.
I went in the next day for another ultrasound because I wanted to make sure my IUD was in place (the first ER had told me it was definitely floating around, so I got paranoid) and they pulled me into an exam room. Doctor #3 asked me all the same questions the other doctors asked me and prescribed me with seven days worth of diflucan. I thought I was finally getting somewhere. She told me to call if the infection wasn't gone by the end of the seven days.
Fast-forward six days later...I called because my infection was almost gone, but I was going to need a couple more days (I can guage how much longer I have because I get thrush accompanied with my yeast infection when I have a yeast infection caused by antibiotics) because I still had a couple of spots on my tongue. After arguing with the triage nurse on the general line for an hour (she kept telling me I needed to see the doctor to fill a prescription. I told her I had been there for three visits in two weeks), she said she called the doctor and I should expect a phone call the next day.
The next day I didn't receive a phone call, so I called them. I had to argue with ANOTHER triage nurse, who kept telling me I needed an appointment. She put me on hold for an hour, then finally informed me that the doctor told me I had to go see my PCP. I don't have a PCP. The nurse told me to check with my insurance for a PCP.
I was so mad that I started crying. I told the girl on the phone that I will never be returning to MomDoc and she could cancel all of my future appointments. I told her it wasn't her fault and hung up.
I went to FastMed down the road. They gave me the diflucan within 10 minutes of being seen.
Needless to say, MomDoc is a place I will never be returning to and I will never recommend. I cannot believe how poorly I was treated and how dumb they tried to make me feel.
