I am always hesitant to write reviews on Yelp for a couple of reasons. 1, some people just use Yelp as a way to attack or sabotage certain businesses/people while sitting behind a computer screen with no sense of accountability or remorse. 2, I would hate to sound like one of those people, being mean or sounding crazy to anyone who reads my review.
That being said, this review is an absolute must, regardless of how it might make me look and feel. If it helps one person avoid my situation.
I highly recommend you search elsewhere if you are looking for a doctor to "care" for you throughout what should be a beautiful experience bringing a child into this world. Let me start off by saying I am almost 30 weeks pregnant with my second child. We moved here from out of state last May and I had to find a new OB when I became pregnant last Dec. Not knowing many people, I was recommended by a friend of a friend to Dr. Langdon. She seemed nice at first. After a couple visits I soon found out this was definitely not the Dr. I had hoped for. Waiting between 1-2 hours (I'm unfortunately not embellishing one bit) just to be called back to a room, every single time. Once in the room being rushed in and out, never acknowledging the wait. Should have been a red flag for her lack of concern for the patients there, but I continued to see her.
She then sent out incomplete paperwork and referral to a third party Dr. which stated that my baby had Down Syndrome and I was brought in for counseling. Which my baby NEVER even had. Talk about unwanted and warranted stress on an expectant mother. All because she filled out paperwork wrong/incomplete. No apologies or acknowledgement here.
Next she ordered my glucose testing to be done incorrectly. I fasted, got a babysitter, went in to the lab for testing, just to be turned away and asked to come back 4 weeks later when the test should be done. Once again, she never said a word to me.
Lastly, 2 weeks ago I received a call from her receptionist saying Dr. Langdon had ordered some more testing to be done by a third party Dr. Having experienced several mistakes with this Dr's office already, I called to ask her about the tests: what it was, if it was mandatory, what it entailed, etc. I never got a call back from her. I finally, after several attempts to reach her, I did receive a call back from her receptionist saying that the tests were "NOT mandatory". Once again, never even speaking to Dr. Langdon directly, I took the receptionist's word. 3 days later, I receive a certified letter being DISCHARGED as a patient for not taking these tests. Baffled and confused I call back to find out they are indeed, mandatory as her patient and was in fact discharged as her patient. STILL never speaking to Dr Langdon. Not once.
What kind of Dr doesn't even acknowledge her patients like that??
One that doesn't care. So, now left at 30 weeks pregnant with no Dr. ( apparently no Dr. in Nevada will take on a new patient this far along that is now considered high risk and been discharged), and (here's the kicker....) NO refund of $800 that my husband and I prepaid for Labor and Delivery already. "Dr" Langdon's practice should not be able to care for any expectant mothers. Or any other human being for that matter. I'm not sure how or if what she is doing is legal, but morally and ethically, it is so wrong. While I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, I can't imagine I'm the only one that has experienced such an awful nightmare for something that is supposed to be a wonderful time in a mother's life. I felt it necessary as a mother, to warn others about the potential dangers of choosing someone so careless to "care" for you and your little one:( read more
