| - I have had very conflicting experiences here. There is one ultrasound tech who I had twice who did an absolutely amazing job. I wish I remembered her name. I cannot explain how comforting and kind she was, nonetheless GOOD at her job! Explaining everything she was doing with excitement and joy. ***If it weren't for her there would be far less stars.
I had two three other technicians during visits, one was good and two were okay. I don't like to have someone doing an ultrasound all around my pregnant belly and not really explaining much / being mostly silent. It's just not a fun experience and it really should be.
My main problem is with one of the main ultrasound Doctors, Dr. Patil. A couple weeks into my third trimester I had an ultrasound with a tech who seemed very new, the scrotum and penis of my son had been seen in the last ultrasound, but this tech couldn't find a view of his penis. No biggie, he was a big baby already and smooshed around in there, always stubborn trying to hide himself. Tech left the room saying things are great; We waited 45 minutes at least to have Dr. Patil come in and immediately concern us from the beginning. He has the tech redo the ultrasound to find the penis like it was a huge deal, then went on to tell us how RARE and ABNORMAL our son was because he had a scrotum and likely no penis, that we needed to get additional blood work done, asked if I had done chromosomal blood work (that I had done just not with this company) and implied our son had a ton of problems that really freaked us out. My boyfriend and I cried after the appointment because we were so confused and scared.
Come to find out later after some research that this happens all the time, penis goes unseen especially in chunky babies and during third trimester because they're so squished in there! I really felt cheated and scammed, that extra blood work made them at least another $100. Then they sent my OB a request for another ultrasound because of the concern.
I said I'm not going back and giving them more money they're tricking me out of, especially when the doctor let us leave so worried about our child and made me think all this nonsense, doctors aren't supposed to stress you out even when there ARE concerns! Baby boy was born just fine, penis and all, thanks for breaking our hearts and terrifying us, Doc. :/
