I switched OBGYNs to Dr. Davila's practice after having a terrible experience with my previous GYN and reading her reviews. At first, everything seemed fine. The office staff was pleasant, the wait times were decent and her attention to detail and my questions were on point. As my pregnancy went along, the office and visits with her deteriorated. The office seemed to get busier and busier and our visits seems shorter and shorter. She always burst in with an air of urgency. I get it, you're super busy and work in a very busy office. Even so, it never seemed like she had interest in the progression of my pregnancy or a complication that could have potentially caused a miscarriage.
They began rotating me to other staff, most of which I found to have a better beside manner than her. I understand that whoever's on call will deliver your baby if your dr is a part of a practice...and that's exactly what happened to me. A Nurse Practitioner (Barbara Peluso) delivered my baby. That wouldn't have been an issue for me except for the fact that while I was pushing, I was told to stop for 30 mins to wait for her to arrive. Because of this, it caused my baby to be distressed. Her heart rate dropped, I spiked a fever and she passed meconium in my womb. She wound up being in the NICU for 5 days all because of a lack of urgency during my labor.
Just to add insult to injury, instead of letting me know my insurance only covers a set number of prenatal visits, they didn't notify me and at a postpartum checkup told me I have a bill of almost $1000 that would need to be paid before I see the doctor. The first time I was ever told of unpaid visits.
I can absolutely not recommend her or the practice she works in (at Memorial Regional West in Hollywood, FL.)
Side note: they lost their malpractice license and made everyone sign a waiver stating that they aren't liable and patients can't sue for any reason. Not a good sign. read more
