She told me it was a swollen lymph node. Ok, relief. 5 months later it had grown larger, I called and left numerous message asking her to return my call. She did not. I made an appointment and went in to see her and asked her if she could write an order for a mammogram. She literally yelled at me, "you do not have breast cancer" and that the lymph node was just swollen. Determined, I asked her again for an order. She stormed out the room, it was her nurse that brought an order back to me. This was the last time I saw or heard from Darrell. From the mammogram to an ultrasound to a needle biopsy to a lumpectomy to being told I had breast cancer. She got all the reports but she NEVER ONCE reached out to me. No apology, no concern, nothing! She's a poor excuse for what doctors are supposed to represent. Had I not pushed for a mammogram order and listened to her misdiagnosis I would not be here today. At first do no harm. I'm speechless she didn't have the decency to call me after and I've often wondered how she slept at night after receiving word. Ladies be your own advocate, we know our bodies and when something doesn't seem right. I transferred hospitals and had my bilateral mastectomy at Rush. I hear Karma is a bitch tho'

I never received a phone call, so I called on 11/18/24 to confirm, but they did not answer so I left a voicemail. They never called me back. I showed up on 11/20/24 for my appointment and was told by Emily, the woman at the front desk, that I was not on the schedule. I informed her that I never received a call, even after leaving them a voicemail. She claimed that she does the calling and that she definitely called me. I had her look through my phone log, and she agreed that there was no call from them listed there but still insisted that she called me. How does this make sense? Emily, you made a mistake, just own up to it! If you take off work and travel for your doctor appointments, I would be careful about this office. They waste your time and do not own up to their mistakes.

I had to fight for a conversation with her after my surgery and every office visit with her since and before has her hand on the doorknob fleeing quickly, even as I am still talking. (And we're talking after only 5 minutes, not 30!) I know surgeons can be like this and time is money. But I really wish she would slow down and just give me even 5 minutes to ask my questions and feel resolved. But again very happy with her surgical skills. You just have to be very proactive to get answers. And don't expect to fell valued or get enough time. (I was also charged for a "results" phone call as an office visit, but after complaining to billing, they removed it.)

This is the best obgyn I have EVER received care from. I had a life threatening ectopic pregnancy…read morethat was handled with unbelievable care and support.

As both a patient and a nurse, my labor and delivery experience with Dr. Salasche was extremely…read moretraumatic. It has taken me one year to work up the courage to write this. I arrived in spontaneous labor and was having strong, regular contractions on my own. My labor was progressing normally and was not prolonged. Around 5 cm dilated, my daughter experienced her first heart rate deceleration. Rather than taking a more cautious approach after that change, Dr. Salasche told me she wanted to start Pitocin and manually break my water. I questioned why these interventions were necessary. As a nurse, I understood that Pitocin would intensify my contractions and that breaking my water would remove the protective cushion of amniotic fluid surrounding my baby. Given that she had already experienced a heart rate deceleration, I was deeply concerned that these interventions could place her under even more stress. My labor was already progressing naturally, and my contractions were strong and effective without augmentation. I specifically told Dr. Salasche that I did not want my water broken or Pitocin started at that point based on both my clinical knowledge as a nurse and my intuition as a mother. Despite making my wishes clear, she forcefully broke my water and told me I "didn't have a choice." They did not start Pitocin after I repeatedly refused. In that moment, I felt powerless. No one should ever be made to feel that informed consent no longer applies simply because she is in labor. What happened next was equally disturbing. My labor nurse advocated for me, asking that we respect my wishes and allow my daughter time to recover from her heart rate deceleration before proceeding with additional interventions like breaking my water or starting Pitocin. Rather than engaging in a thoughtful discussion, Dr. Salasche yelled at the nurse in front of me, stating that she had given her an order and instructing her not to undermine her. As both a patient and a nurse, witnessing a physician berate a nurse for advocating for her patient was heartbreaking. Instead of fostering teamwork during a critical moment, it created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. I will always be grateful to that nurse for having the courage to advocate for me and my daughter when I felt my own voice had been taken away. Nurses truly are the heart of healthcare. Throughout my labor, my daughter continued to experience episodes of heart rate decelerations, and at the time no one knew why. After delivery, we learned that she had a short and marginally inserted umbilical cord and cord compression. Looking back, I can't help but question whether attempting to augment my labor with Pitocin and manually breaking my water after those initial decelerations could have placed my daughter at even greater risk. While no one can know with certainty what would have happened, those decisions continue to weigh heavily on me given what we later learned. In fact, while under Dr. Norlin's care during my pregnancy our daughter's heart rate had dropped from 150/160 to 120 about a week prior to delivery. I thought it was clinically significant and also mentioned I felt really small being so close to my due date and that my sister had placenta issues so I was concerned. I asked for a scan and she said no. Now we know this: After delivery, pathology revealed multiple abnormal findings, including an extremely short 14 cm umbilical cord, a significantly small placenta, and circummarginate membranes. My labor was not prolonged. I received my epidural around 2:00 a.m., and my daughter was born vaginally just after 10:00 a.m - healthy and happy. I was progressing naturally, yet I was repeatedly pushed toward unnecessary interventions. I never felt heard, respected, or safe in Dr. Salasche's care. Every patient deserves informed consent and respect. I'm incredibly grateful that my daughter is healthy, but I cannot recommend this practice based on my experience. My hope is that no other woman leaves her birth feeling that her voice was taken away.

I truly don't have enough words to express my gratitude for Dr. Shashoua. He literally saved my…read morelife and has continued to go above and beyond for what has been a very complicated and emotional journey with stage 4 endometriosis and infertility. I first met Dr. Shashoua after a failed embryo transfer that left me septic, internally bleeding, and in critical condition. I was so sick that I didn't fully understand what was happening -- I was truly dying. Dr. Shashoua stepped in with the urgency, skill, and calm confidence that only an exceptional surgeon can bring. He performed the emergency operation that saved my life, and I will forever be grateful. After stabilizing me, he did something that shows how deeply he cares about his patients: he referred me to a far better fertility doctor because he knew I needed more specialized and attentive care than I had previously received. That referral changed everything for my fertility journey. A few months later, he performed my endometriosis excision surgery and removed my tubes. These were major, life-altering procedures, and he approached every decision with precision, empathy, and extraordinary expertise. I now see him regularly to monitor and manage my endometriosis and infertility, and he continues to provide the highest level of care. What sets him apart is how closely he works hand-in-hand with my fertility doctor, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is coordinated. My case is extremely complex and often overwhelming, but he has never once made me feel like a burden. He treats me with compassion, respect, and true dedication. If you have endometriosis, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or any complicated gynecologic or urologic condition, Dr. Shashoua is the doctor you want in your corner. He is an extraordinary surgeon, an exceptional physician, and someone who genuinely cares about his patients' lives and futures. I owe him mine.

Dr Belmonte performed an invasive surgery on me without numbing me in any way.

I asked if I could have a moment to think about it beforehand, she declined. This woman is cruel and in no way cares about her patients. Please, spare your wellbeing and don't see this doctor. I could cry just thinking about this experience. I don't understand how this was allowed to happen. And to top it all off, the surgery was ineffective.

While I appreciate Dr. Kafali's medical expertise, my overall experience with this office was very…read morenegative. The most difficult part was the handling of my colposcopy. I was extremely anxious about the procedure after an abnormal pap smear. During the colposcopy, I was crying due to past trauma, and the doctor seemed oblivious to my distress. When I apologized, her response was dismissive, putting the blame back on me. A doctor should prioritize making their patients feel comfortable, especially during sensitive procedures. Beyond that, the office's communication was a constant source of frustration. Results took far too long to be delivered, and I had to schedule virtual appointments just to get simple information (and was charged for 2 minute long phone calls). My last visit was a time that I was supposed to wait 5-10 business days for results and had to call after 3 weeks to get the results. Those results required an additional procedure (another coloposcopy) and medication for a yeast infection that had since resolved itself. When I called to schedule this additional procedure, I was told the doctor was on vacation and would have to wait several weeks to be seen again. This would have been avoided had the results been shared to me within the initial timeline. On another visit, I was left waiting half-dressed in the exam room for 30 minutes. The office also tried to charge a fee for me to get my own medical records. This office needs to focus on patient comfort, care, and communication to provide a better experience. I have never had such a negative experience with a doctor's office in my life. I HIGHLY recommend you go elsewhere!!
