I will fully admit that I have only seen Nurse Practitioner Davis with this group and it's possible…read morethat the other associates are amazing, but my experience with NP Davis has been dismal at best. For years, I have felt that maybe she was just having an off day or a busy day and that's why her bedside manner was lacking, but I can't make excuses for her any more. She just simply does not pay attention to me and she rushes me. To make matters worse, though I see her often and fill out the history forms, she has no idea what my health history is and has even prescribed medications that I should not be taking. She takes at least a week to return a phone call. Maybe her case load is too high, but if that is the case, she should reduce it to give her patients the attention that they deserve.

The day of my appointment I arrive 30 min early (even though they only suggest 15.) I was so…read moreexcited to get the consult and get my life back. Johnson keeps me waiting almost 30 minutes past my appointment time. When I walk back to get my BP checked and weigh-in, her medical assistant seemed really irritable and handed me a bunch of pamphlets about "hysterectomy." She leave me in the room for an additional 10-15 minutes and finally Johnson walks in. Johnson was very abrupt. She reviewed or should I say "skimmed" over my medical records from the previous visit and asked had I read over the pamphlets. I said, "No not really, but since I'm sitting her with a live medical professional, I figure I'd just ask you the questions that I have." She says, "Well, have you had any children?" I'm looking at her like why is this even relevant and reply, "Never been pregnant, never had children." Without even looking up, she says, "I know you want to get the hysterectomy done laparoscopically, but you are not a candidate for that. You've never had children and so the only way to do your hysterectomy is to do the "smiley face." She was stoic, she didn't even look me in the eye. In that moment, I knew that she was full of bullsh!t, and yet, I allowed her to continue to see how far she would actually go. She also went on to say that because my uterus was too large (10cm), it could not come out of my vagina (by the way, that is not how robotic surgery is performed) because my cervix had never been dilated enough due to me never having children. She said that I had a lot to think about and I needed go home, read the stupid pamphlets that she gave me and make the best decision. This was probably the best advice she gave during our entire visit. I didn't need to do any research to know that Johnson was full of sh!t. I expected so much more from her especially as a woman. Upon walking out of her office, I knew that it was the last time that I would ever be a patient in that office and I am writing this review to warn other women. I wish I had been warned. You see, not every doctor goes that extra mile and goes back to get the schooling and training that it takes to get into robotic surgery. Instead of saying," Hey I don't have those tools in my toolbox," she ill-informed me. She told me that I was not a candidate for the surgery which was a bold-faced lie. Yes, doctor's lie too, especially when they are too embarrassed to admit that they are performing major medical procedures in an antiquated way. She is an old school "doctor" that is probably really good a delivering babies, however, if you have any major GYN issues, please look somewhere else. Her toolbox is very limited and instead of admitting that, she'll make it seem like you are not a candidate for state of the art, top of the line treatment. She'll try to convince you that her outdated ways of practice are the only way. Fast update: The day after my nightmare visit with Johnson, I went home, got on my lovely laptop and begin googling away. After a full day of searching, I was able to secure one of the BEST surgeons in the area at John Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. Not only did she advise me that I was a perfect candidate for the procedure, after very thorough in person and video consultations went in and had the procedure 5 days ago ( 12/10/2020) I can't say enough amazing things about this doctor/woman. She gave me back my quality of life. After 5 days, I'm walking around, I don't need to take any narcotics and I feel amazing. NO MORE PAIN. GET A SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH OPINION WHEN IT COME TO YOUR HEALTH. These doctors/medical professionals are not all created equal and this experience has driven that home for me. I am so happy that I trusted my gut, and walked away from Michelle Johnson and never looked back!!!

My fiance and I had to ASK about the health of our baby. We had to ask what the heart rate was for it and everything. We never got pictures. The whole experience was absolutely horrible.

Absolutely NOT! AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE…read more In short, this guy is a QUACK. Sadly it took me several years before I found out. His office had me convinced I had cancer; when there was nothing wrong with me. In this day and age it is just not worth it, this is a sensitive subject you want a good doctor not a bad one. Don't waste your time, money, energy. Details if you want them, In 2004...I had been a patient for 3 years prior. After 1 questionable test result the Dr. disregarded facts about me and my history; predetermined the out come based on regional statistics (one of those facts he disregarded is that I lived in the region on paper only). He preformed one procedure and wanted to perform several more evasive procedures because "insurance allows it and it can't hurt" - his words not mine. When I questioned the course of action he was prescribing he responded with by trying to manipulate me into doing what he thought was best included making out of line character references and judgments about my family. IN tears he left me then came back and handed me a tissue and told me he only wanted "the best for" me. With in a month of this last meeting with Dr Strider I had 4 different & costly professional opinions which did not include evasive surgery like the kind Dr Strider had been pushing for and as it turned out there was nothing wrong with me. NOTHING. It has been 5 years and there is nothing wrong with me.

PLEASE READ. I was pleasantly surprised at the friendly staff before, during and after appointment…read more They made sure all my insurance was taken care of while calling me numerous times to inform me about it since I was having trouble with my referral. UNFORTUNATELY I was VERY disappointed with Dr. Mahata. I am not the type of individual to rant and rave or even write reviews on websites but the more and more I think about it the more I feel the urge to let people know just what I experienced.. Like most women I have always struggled with my weight .. but I do not think it gives Dr.Mahata the right to be discussing with someone in the hallway about me and how I "don't even attempt to do anything about my weight. ." That's the only part I heard clearly as the door was closed in the room I was sitting in mind you .. and note that was my first and only visit there .. she hadn't asked me anything about diet or exercise before she made that comment .. it was unprofessional and very hurtful to be honest
