As older first time parents of a new born we did our research. We interviewed Dr. Arca in advance, had heard amazing things about Cook Childrens, and she is the doctor of our OBGYN and her office is 2 minutes from our house. We thought 'no brainer'. Wow, we were wrong.
What I don't want to write is a novel (but if you have questions, I'll happily answer them) - but there were SEVERAL things that we were extremely unhappy with (all around her lack of 'bedside manner' and her inability to communicate with us). To the point that we had to find a different doctor. But we still stayed within the Cook Children's network (and the transfer within the network was easy).
She might be an amazing doctor. But she was incredibly hard to talk with and was down right rude when communicating with Baylor Medical (the hospital where our child was born). We have also filed an official complaint with Cook Children's.
If she is your doctor and you love her - then we wish you the best and we're glad you are happy. If you are considering Dr. Arca to be your doctor - please seriously sit down one-on-one and make sure that this is a person you want to communicate with about your child.
I am sincere about answering questions about our situation. read more
