I have never left a review before and hate that I'm leaving a negative one but OH MY JESUS!...this…read morelady. Now before I tell you what went wrong I want to start off by saying that I came to come to this practice because I have heard great things and know that there are good doctors there. I have several friends that go there, none have seen Dr. Folmar. She was to only one available and not booked out for weeks when I made the appointment. I figured that she would be just as good. So, I have a teenage daughter and she's in High School. When she started dating and got her first real boyfriend, we had a talk. Me and my daughter have a great relationship and I let her know that I would never judge or think badly of her if she felt like she wanted, and was ready to have sex. I was a teenager at one time, I did, my friends did too and I understand. I let her know that if she does chooses to make that choice, please be safe and think it though, that she didn't need to feel ashamed and that she could come to me and ask me anything... Now I wasn't saying it's okay to go be a hussy or anything like that. I just didn't want her to be scared to talk to me. She told me that she had not had sex and was not ready but when she was, she would tell me. I asked her if she thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and start birth control? I told her that sometimes it's not always planned and now that she was dating someone she really liked it would be smart to be prepared for if and when that day comes. She agreed and we talked about the different kinds of birth control. She didn't want to be bothered with remembering to take a pill every day and nether did I. I told her about other options and she liked the idea of the bar that is inserted in the arm because it last up to three years. Now I have no clue if she has or hasn't I just know what she's told me. I just know that there's a good chance that this will happen at one point in high school so I'm trying to be smart about it. So I make the appointment. The first thing she does is take a pregnancy test. Then the doctor comes in the room, says test is negative and ask why are we there. As soon as start to talk she barks at me and said I wasn't asking you. I want to hear it from her.....Well alrighty then. I could tell that she had made my daughter a little nervous with her charm and finely tuned bedside manner. My daughter tried her best to tell her why we were there and said that she had not been sexual active before. The women kept questioning her about it and then turn to me and asked had she had sex? I had, had all I could take at that point and became upset. I told her that I didn't think my daughter was a liar and even if she was to embarrassed to say it, why interrogate her??? she said BECAUSE IF SHE'S NOT HAVING SEX WHY ARE YOU HERE? My heart starts beating faster. I can feel the heat on my neck and I had to say a little prayer that Jesus would help me not act like a fool. I should have got up and left and I deeply regret that I didn't. WHY DIDN'T I LEAVE?! I had already taken the day off, she had to be cheeked out of school. Before She gets the bar put in her arm I tell the doctor that I had gotten the depo shot one time and had a bad reaction to it. Is this anything like the depo and what are the chances of that happening? She all but rolled her eyes at me. The woman talk to me with such a nasty attitude. Like I was some kind of moron for asking. When we were done I paid my copay. Then I get a bill for $800. My insurance didn't cover it! Three days after the visit my daughter starts to bleed. One week goes by, two weeks. By the third week I called the office back. The lady at the desk said the nurse would call me back. I don't hear back. Three days go by, I call back. The nurse calls me back the next day and said that the doctor said if its bad go to the hospital. I said WHAT!? Soooo she doesn't want to deal with it, let it be the hospitals problem??? The nurse tells me to wait and if it didn't stop in another week call back. Well It didn't. I go though the same thing trying to get the doctor to respond so that the nurse can call me back after their consultation. When the nurse does call back she said we can have it removed in 6 months. I've asked the receptionist, please, for the love of God let us see another doctor and she said sorry, that I couldn't. I have tried calling other doctor's offices and they have all told me that they can't do anything and won't take the bar out because I need to see the doctor who put it in. We are now on month 5 and she's still bleeding. I have considered cutting her arm and removing it my self but that has its dangers too. The doctor will not see us, will not call us back and I all we can do is wait. I'm very concerned about my daughter. She's weak and sleeps all the time. I don't like this waiting game and don't think it's healthy.
