If I could give zero stars, I would. During my pregnancy I was seen by OB/GYN Shereen Binno. I picked her because her page on the Sharp website indicates "Natural birth methods," as one of her interests. That was not my experience with her at all.
Since my 37th week she kept trying to coerce me into induction saying my baby could be born stillbirth. I had a healthy pregnancy and my baby's heart and movements were also healthy. She claimed it was my fluid levels, but each time I got a second opinion, my levels were higher than what she would claim and there was no need for induction. I stood my ground and did my research each time. Dr. Binno and her nurse were also pushy with the cervical exams, which I still declined. Since I kept declining her inductions (as well as cervical exams), on my very last appointment she literally asked me, what I was doing there if I wasn't going to be induced. I respectfully answered that I was there so she could check that my vitals were healthy and that my baby's were too. Which thankfully, everything was perfectly healthy normal.
She made my third trimester the most horrible, causing me extreme anxiety and would leave in tears each time I left the office. She tried to convince me my baby would be born stillborn if I didn't induce, even though NOTHING indicated that my pregnancy was unhealthy. Her change of attitude clearly indicated her intention to pressure me into induction. Thankfully, I followed my motherly instincts, made sure my baby was always moving, and I gave birth at 41+1 to a healthy baby.
If you would like to have a caring and respectful treatment from your doctor during your pregnancy, then I recommend you look for another one. read more
