I was long overdue for a regular women's check-up, but until my experience with Dr Ringhoffer's…read moreoffice, I abhorred going to OB/GYNs. A friend of mine got fed up with her regular OB/GYN and she switched to Dr Ringhoffer. She told me what a wonderful doctor she is and how she listened to her, made suggestions as to a few treatment options, and within a couple of weeks, resolved medical problems her other doctor let linger for several months. I decided to make an appointment to go see her, and luckily, my friend was right about her. I had a great experience too. First of all, the staff is very efficient. They got me scheduled within a week, and I only waited about 3-5 minutes in the lobby after completing my paperwork. Shortly after being put in a room, Dr Ringhoffer came in and discussed my medical history, left while I changed, then came back in and completed my exam. She was the most gentle doctor I can ever recall seeing. Afterward, one of the nurses drew blood for a thyroid check. Now I'm not ashamed to admit that I panic like a five year old when I see a needle, but that nurse was a magic woman with that needle and I hardly felt it at all. When it was all said and done, I was in and out of her office within an hour. Today, a week later, they received all of my lab results and called to tell me everything looks good. When I say I was overdue, it had been over 8 years. That's never a good idea to wait that long, I know. I was exasperated. I'd spent years going to OB/GYNs and telling them what was going on, only to be given prescriptions for birth control pills and be sent on my way. I eventually solved those issues on my own by doing research and taking specific vitamins, and I don't have all the side effects that go along with birth control pills. My friend's prior doctor had been doing her the same way, and had her on two different kinds of birth control at the same time, and it still wasn't solving her problems. As I mentioned, Dr Ringhoffer was able to resolve it quickly. If you're searching for a new doctor for any reason, whether you're new in town, or you're tired of pill-pushing doctors and doctors that won't listen to you, I highly recommend going to see Dr Ringhoffer. She broke the stereotype I had about OB/GYNs, and if she can change MY mind, that says a lot about the quality and professionalism of her and her staff. In fact, I think I'll start going to see her annually like I'm supposed to do. One last thing - there are several buildings in that complex and her building is next door to the Emergency Room.

My experience with Dr. Gallaspy and his office was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I came…read morein with legitimate health concerns and asked for a simple referral to an endocrinologist so I could have a wrist bone age X-ray evaluated. This is a very standard medical request, yet the office repeatedly refused and gave confusing and incorrect explanations. I was told multiple times that "he doesn't do X-rays," even though I clearly explained that I was asking for a referral so a specialist could evaluate me and order imaging if necessary. Instead of listening, the staff kept repeating the same misunderstanding and dismissing my request. It felt like no one in the office was actually hearing what I was saying. My interaction with Latoya in the back office made the situation even worse. The tone was extremely condescending and dismissive, and it felt like my concerns were being brushed off rather than taken seriously. Dr. Gallaspy ultimately did the bare minimum by agreeing to check estrogen levels after I had to push for it, but refused the endocrinology referral I requested and said the wrist X-ray was "not indicated." Meanwhile, birth control was pushed during the visit despite my concerns being about hormonal and growth evaluation. Patients should not have to argue just to be heard or ask repeatedly for reasonable medical requests. After this experience, I will be finding a new primary care physician who is willing to actually listen to patients and help coordinate appropriate care.

After my exams with Dr. Self, I was sent to the back waiting area for bloodwork. After waiting 35-40 minutes, I had apologized to Husband via text that he was waiting on me for so long, but all I was waiting for was the lab tech to draw my blood which is a fast process. He mentioned this to the front desk for me, and they were super prompt on getting this addressed so I was seen right away. I would refer anyone to see Dr. Self!

But for me, she was very judgmental and not helpful at all. She laughed in my face when I told her I didn't want children (after she asked) and wanted to know what my husband wanted. Kind of insulting because obviously we are in agreement as a married couple and regardless, it is MY body and ultimately MY decision to have a baby or not. I also expressed concern that I could have endometriosis since I have family history and horrible, painful, heavy periods. She told me she could do nothing about it. For a Harvard educated doctor, that blew me away, because obviously you can do a lap to check for endo lesions and remove them. It's like she didn't care to help me. I switched over to Dr. Krueger at Azalea City, who told me upon first appointment that she would schedule the surgery for me whenever I wanted. That's how a doctor should be. Dr. Grinstead may be fine if you're having a baby or don't mind a doctor who tries to impose their more traditional values on you...but she had a horrible bedside manner to me. You shouldn't be laughing at patient's life decisions and you should care if they are in pain. Definitely don't go if you're worried about having endometriosis!

She also was the one to work with me through a plethora of tests to finally diagnose me with cervical cancer two years ago. My oncologist finally felt like my condition was at a point where I could add Dr. Trammell back into the rotation of my care again, and so today was my annual checkup for breast exam and Pap smear. She came into the room and immediately hugged me and asked how I was doing, like "really" doing. We talked about everything that's happened with me health (and family life, because she likes to build relationships with her patients) and talked about my cancer treatments - what they were like, how they felt, and their after effects. She is so genuinely caring. She sits and listens, asks questions and takes in the answers. She truly has your best interests in mind. She is gentle and explains what she's doing as she does the exams so that there are no surprises. Her staff is kind and caring. Wait times aren't long at all. The offices and patient exam rooms are clean and have been recently remodeled with new paint and decor. Artwork made by her kids at school and family photos hang proudly in each exam room and it just shows how down to earth and family oriented she is.

My HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH DR. FELICIA BETH STELLA:…read more DURING MY PREGNANCY, DR. FELICIA BETH STELLA ALLOWED MY UNBORN DAUGHTER'S FOOT TO HANG OUT OF MY AMNIOTIC SAC FOR 2-3 WEEKS, WHILE UNDER HER MEDICAL CARE, WITHOUT TELLING ME OR MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS SERIOUS CONDITION THAT HAD OCCURRED BEFORE DELIVERY. We found out later that my daughter had lost oxygen and was born blue, she barely survived. To this date Dr. Felicia Beth Stella never informed me or my family of this very serious medical occurrence, where my daughter was born blue. At that time, I trusted that her level of care would meet the standards of best practices for me. I still remember it just like it was yesterday, some years ago now. My personal horrible experience with Dr. Felicia Beth Stella turned out to be a nightmare. My daughter was born with LIFELONG NUEROLIGIAL DAMAGES, due to a lack of oxygen in her brain which caused her to be born blue. Dr. Felicia Beth Stella hospitalized me after multiple visits to the hospital, due to my suffering with Braxton-Hicks contractions. Subsequentially, I was finally hospitalized and in excruciating pain for approximately 2-3 weeks. Due to the pain and suffering that I endured during this pregnancy, a family member pleaded with Dr. Felicia Beth Stella to induce my labor; however, she ignored my family's request to give me a timely cesarean section. After my water broke, Dr. Felicia Beth Stella finally decided to perform a cesarean section. Dr. Felicia Beth Stella approached my family member in an antagonistic manner saying, "You got what you want" because she reluctantly had to proceed with the cesarean section because my water had broken. I strongly feel that instead of her being antagonistic with family members, she should have given me a timely cesarean section. My daughter would not have been born blue and facing lifelong neurological damages that she must endure every day. As a result of Dr. Felicia Beth Stella's negligence, my daughter was born blue and remained in the NICU for 4 weeks. It is unreal to me that Dr. Felicia Beth Stella, a medical professional, would allow an unborn baby to stay in the amniotic sac for a long period of time, where she knew that the amniotic sac had been broken. Her negligent actions have led to my daughter being born blue, having a lack of oxygen to her brain, and now suffering with lifelong neurological damage. This is barbaric and inhumane treatment to any unborn child. To date, Dr. Felicia Beth Stella harmed a child and never offered my family an apology for her negligence, and damage that she caused to my daughter's life. My life and my daughter's life were in danger at all times, while under Dr. Felicia Beth Stella's medical care. (LIFELONG HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE)
