This review is long over due as I gave birth almost 12 years ago but I felt that I needed to do it. I switched to this practice after having such a horrible experience with a different one. I will only say about that one here that I had a miscarriage and she was not very caring and would never get back to me, so I started seeing Dr. Diane Mainwold at the advice of my primary. She was wonderful. In October of 2007, I discussed going off of birth control because I was ready to get pregnant. In February I got pregnant and called to make an appointment with her. I went in, only to find out that she was no longer practicing OB, so they switched me to her husband, Dr. Foster. We didn't click very well as he teams up with the previous OB/GYN and I said that I would never let her touch me. He suggested that I find a new doctor. I decided that since I was pregnant, I would stay with him. My visits were short and I was misdiagnosed with placenta previa. For that, I understand because the ultrasound showed that it looked that way, but when I asked if it could change, I got a resounding NO. In my 5th month, the ultrasound showed that I didn't have it. Also, let me add in that 3 years earlier, I had cracked a rib and was in a lot of pain during my pregnancy. At my 8th month ultrasound, the tech told me that the baby looked to be about 7lbs. I did the calculations and figure that my baby would be about 9lbs, so at my next appointment, I asked Dr. Foster if it would be possible to go a week or two early, to which he responded yes. At that time, he stated that the baby wouldn't be that big. At my next appointment, he advised me that he was moving my due date forward a week instead of me going early. I pleaded with him to not do that and that is when he "stripped my lining" as I have come to understand. I screamed, that hurt and he just walked out of the room. I left that day, not knowing what he had done. The next day, I felt like the baby was kicking more but thought ok, we're just getting ready. The next morning after that, my water broke. I called the office and told them and at that time, I didn't realize that the "kicking" was contractions. They said that I could wait until noon when Dr. Foster came in, so I did. Come to find out they were contractions. I never dilated past 2cm. I was given Pitocin for about 8 hours, which did nothing, so they stopped and decided to wait until morning to do a C-section. The anesthesiologist couldn't get the spinal in and after the 6th try, they knocked me out! When my son was born, he was healthy and 10.3 lbs! I was cut hip to hip. When Dr. Foster came to check on me the next day in the hospital, my grandmother was there. Keep in mind that she birthed 6 children and thought that during the pregnancy I was overreacting to the treatment of the doctor. When Dr. Foster left the room, she said that "he had the worst bedside manner she had ever seen!" read more
