DO NOT GO HERE FOR PRENATAL CARE!
Unfortunately I did NOT have a positive experience at this clinic. If you are not-athletic/slightly overweight, I would highly recommend seeking elsewhere for prenatal care. I came here for my first pregnancy and primarily saw Dr. Song. Per her recommendation I saw other doctors, and I happened to see Dr. Olsen. She was extremely condescending and downright hurtful in her comments about my weight. I am slightly overweight. I understand it is important to maintain a healthy weight, but she made me feel very uncomfortable and unhappy about my pregnancy body. I left the appointment in tears after she went on a 20-minute rant about how she "lost 80 pounds recently" and how I needed to stop eating fried foods (I'm gluten free, I don't eat fried foods). She also acted disgusted with my body when finding my baby's heartbeat, refusing to touch my belly. When she got the machine ready to hear my baby's heartbeat, she sighed and said, "Can you lift yourself?" and when I said, "What?" she rolled her eyes and said, "Your stomach." It was really embarrassing. When she found the baby's heartbeat she only let me listen to it for a few seconds. Her overall demeanor was shockingly unprofessional and hurtful. On multiple occasions nurses rolled their eyes at me and were also condescending at appointments. Every appointment felt rushed and doctors were constantly running late. It was impossible to attend appointments over my lunch break because they were never on time.
Dr. Song told me, when I was going to be induced, she would deliver my baby. I was induced due to my blood pressure getting higher, and I truly believe it was largely due to the fact that I had extreme nervousness and anxiety before every single appointment. Fast forward to my delivery. Dr. Olsen showed up to deliver my baby. I refused to be seen by her and asked for the other doctor on duty. This was advised to me by a hospital staff member who told me it was my right to do so. Thankfully Dr. Song was able to deliver my baby.
At my postpartum check up, Dr. Song told me the clinic requested I go somewhere else for my next pregnancy. She told me I'm not allowed to "choose who delivers" my baby. I was appalled and shocked that she had seemed to forget promising me she would be able to be at the hospital. I was also shocked that I was asked not to return to this clinic because I felt uncomfortable with a woman who essentially bullied me and called me fat delivering my child.
