I saw Dr. Oko and I was only five weeks pregnant...
Usually people have to wait and if they feel that there's a problem, and they're told to go to the emergency room.
But he had a beautiful open schedule and I saw him when I was seeing some concerning discharge and blood.
He is Young beautiful doctor. With beautiful caring eyes.
My experience with being pregnant in the past has not been pleasant.
I come to him after having three miscarriages in the past year; Therefore he is dealing with someone who is paranoid, extra cautious, and at this point I am doubtful.
Before him I had Dr. Wada... Who at every single appointment would only tell me that I really need to get a Covid shot for the greater good... he even told me this after my miscarriage.
At my five week appointment Dr. Oko never mentioned it. I was relieved. I was prepared and I had my guard up to hear the same push for Covid vaccines, but he did not do that to me.
He only patiently listened to each and every experience I had on every miscarriage.
Typically people do not get abdominal ultrasounds when they are so early along in a pregnancy. But I'm kind of scared to get a vaginal ultrasound, because my last miscarriage the baby measured out to the exact same weeks and day as the size when I discovered the baby was no longer living. Coincidence? Maybe... but like I said I am now paranoid.
Dr. Oko said he would try the abdominal first. He saw on the screen everything he needed to see including the heartbeat.
Because of you so small I told him I don't see the heartbeat how do you see it and his response was "I have trainEd eyes" he then made it so that the screen would show the heartbeat...
I cried happy tears.
(Again, comparing, Dr. Wada refused to do an abdominal when I was nine weeks pregnant... he wouldn't even try the abdominal first. )
I feel that Dr. Oko is a very caring, sincere, doctor.
He scheduled me to come back in two weeks.
That day is today.
And I am excited to now go to his office.
I am so glad that he's been assigned as my doctor.
He told me he's going to do his best to bring me my rainbow baby. As many of my rainbows have faded away.
He deserves this five star review.
I hope after everyone hears how great he is, his schedule does not fill up and become too busy, because I lived how available he was when I felt I needed to go to the office right then and there.
But if you have struggled with losses, and have felt that your doctor didn't truly feel sad for you, you are going to want your next pregnancy in the care of Dr. Oko. read more
