WARNING!!!!
This is…read moremy personal review of the care I received from this provider.
Vivian Dearden, CNM is a Critical Care Medicine Specialist in Layton, UT. Vivian Dearden currently practices at Obstetrics & Gynecology Layton and is affiliated with CommonSpirit Holy Cross Hospital-Davis.
Vivian Dearden was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in my life, hands down, no contest! She has terrible communication skills, bedside manner, or empathy for her patients fears & concerns. I had two visits with her and I am currently looking for a new OBGYN because both of those appointments were awful. I saw her for post menopausal bleeding and she informed me I would need a complete pelvic ultrasound followed by a biopsy of my uterus. After she explained the biopsy I informed her of my MANY traumatic experiences with past doctors and procedures down there and requested sedation for the biopsy procedure, she refused.
I requested some pain medication prior to the procedure, and she refused. I then requested a Valium and again, she refused. She prescribed two pills that she told me to break into 4ths and insert in my vagina 4 hours prior to the procedure. When I asked if I could just take them orally she said no. When I asked what the pills do her response was soften my cervix for the procedure, that's it, that was her full explanation. She performed my Pap smear, gave me the prescription and sent me on my way. I had asked her to look at a spot on my skin I was concerned with and she never did. I called and they told me she will look at it when you come for your biopsy. So I got the runaround with common spirit's automated phone system and decided to use IHC to get my ultrasound instead, they got me in right away and got it done, which was fantastic because I'm worrying about getting this biopsy done & hearing the results right away! I wait weeks to hear back about the ultrasound results and scheduling of my biopsy and hear nothing. Finally I call IHC and ask what the hold up is, Rocky Mountain Women's Health, her facility, has the wrong fax number on it, hence why they still don't have my results. I provided IHC with the correct fax number, called Vivian's office and informed them of the error. So now finally after weeks of waiting I get in for my biopsy and discover these two pills she had me insert in my vagina have caused me severe cramping, diarrhea, and more bleeding. I would have at least worn underwear with a pad had she told me ANY of this, remember she just said they'd soften my cervix for it! The biopsy was the most painful procedure I've ever had and I highly recommend to any woman needing it to get sedated first!!! ! She made senseless chitchat toward my husband about men not knowing the appropriate time for humor, instead of helping me through this horrible procedure, even after I'd fully informed her of all of my past doctor associated pain traumas!!! The pain was so bad I nearly came of the table, I cussed and was in tears the whole time. Thank God my husband was there holding my hand, he also was almost in tears just watching me bless his heart. Again she forgot to look at the spot I was concerned about too. Oh yeah I looked into those pills and they're used for abortions and incomplete miscarriages, really would have been great to know how they'd affect me. SHE IS THE WORST!!!
