In reference to my experience with Dr.Knapp…read more It is important to note that no this is not my first time with her. I've been with her for almost a year. I wanna say if not a year or more and I won't say this has been building up, but I The final straw. This gynecologist normally she is similar to a roadrunner. She talks really really fast and she talks over you and you will have to let her know that she is doing it because sometimes it seems as though she is not acknowledging it or she's just in her train of thought so that kind of ticked me off when I first initially met her but ultimately This is the reason why I'm leaving this practice. I chose to share my story simply because I want minorities women of color and just women overall truthfully to make sure you're very conscious about what your physicians are saying to you or at you rather and pay attention to the signs. For some background, I am a woman that has been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen and back, experiencing ovarian cyst, some filled with blood, and some filled with fluid. Due to This constant issue there have beenan untold number of times I've been in pain in reference to gynecological issues, unsure if it is endometriosis ,pcos etc. But the doctor listed above stated that there is no way for her to figure out if it is endometriosis or just PCOS or if it if I just have adrenal cyst, the only solution that she offered me was to get on the IUD specifically morena. Now this is not been the only time that she has recommended using an IUD as it would best work with the medication's that I'm also currently on to handle other matters, but I was cautious about it due to the fact that my body seems to be one of those types of bodies that experiences the horrible side effects and if not most things don't work for me. So today when I knew she would probably re-approach it as I'm going in for probably the 15th vaginal ultrasound in her not seeing anything or her seeing too small assist for them to do anything about it XYNZ she goes about this the topic of choosing an IUD and so this time I indulge her and I ask more about it and I asked what her knowledge is about it in reference to me being an African-American female. What I thought was going to be an intellectual in-depth discussion and I was going to gain further knowledge from speaking with her mind you yes for a side note she is a Caucasian lady, but has treated me decently so I thought we were above what I just experienced. during this conversation, she is the type to cut you off if she has something to say and whatever and partially, I didn't mind it due to the fact that I can be like that too when I either don't take my medications or I'm stemming really bad at that current point in time but during this conversation, she obviously saw that I was .trying to make a very conscious decision about putting something inside of my body that I don't really have much faith in and you seem to only be able to do just that one thing to help subside the symptoms so yes, I'm going to ask more questions. so what should've been a conversation of gaining more knowledge so that I can make a better decision for myself. She goes on to say oh I'm not sure about the recent studies in it. It's been around for 40 years and it's been proven to be very effective and I'm asking her I said OK but what is the real statistics on African-American females at my age or maybe slightly older or even younger? Who get this IUD and what kind of problems do they have if they have symptoms like mine? She then proceeds to tell me that she doesn't know. She just knows that it's been around for about 40 years and so on and so forth and I said well that's not very comforting for me to even consider putting it inside of my body because I would think that you would keep up with the statistics for African-American females, and apparently that set her off. She felt insulted that I insulted her intelligence, and I questioned her as a doctor not that I stood up for myself, and I was trying to understand exactly what she was trying to get me to understand, but she felt undermined essentially. so when I was trying to continue the conversation, she kept trying to cut me off. She got up and she basically stormed out of the room because I said "wow that's rude of you to just walk off while we're talking " she responds : no, what's rude of you is to question and question my education and what I actually look at and things like that. Me:I said why wouldn't I if you just told me you have no idea about the statistics that that is you telling me that you do not understand or you don't know or not even a that's a good question. Hey, I'll get back to you on that. No, It was an immediate get come face to face with me and just ran the room but came back and to slam things on the countertop and then she just left and she slammed the door. Yes, I will admit I did call her a child for her antics and how she exited the exam room because I jus

My wait times were just five and ten minutes, respectively, and although I never felt rushed, I was able to complete both appointments in one hour. Dr. Freeman and her nurse were excellent listeners, and I found them to be genuinely friendly. When calling to schedule, expect a wait.

Although she explained each step, the procedure caused severe pain, and when I expressed discomfort, she said, "this shouldn't hurt," which felt dismissive. The pain lasted for days, and I was unable to work on May 8 due to significant discomfort. When I requested a doctor's note for both days, the office only issued one for May 7 and refused to provide one for the 8th, even though the pain was directly caused by the exam. To make matters worse, the billing department has repeatedly mishandled my insurance. As a veteran, my primary coverage is through Veterans insurance, but they billed my secondary insurance instead. I've been going back and forth between this clinic, LabCorp, and my insurance trying to fix their mistake, and it's been exhausting. This facility not only failed me medically but also administratively. Because of the painful exam, lack of support, and ongoing billing errors, I strongly advise others not to go to Women's Health of Central Virginia. They do not take responsibility for their errors or treat patients with the care and respect they deserve.

Bottom line: ob/gyn Edward Wolanski came pretty highly recommended to me, with the one caveat that…read morehe has an unhealthy, critical view of weight gain during pregnancy. It turns out that's true. But it also seems to be true that for other criteria like a low-intervention approach to birth, he's the best ob/gyn in Charlottesville (by default - he seems to be the only low-intervention ob/gyn here!). So, you have to pick your poison. Or maybe enough women telling him we don't like his unnecessarily strict, critical stance could influence the way he relates to patients? One can dare to hope. Context: I moved to Charlottesville about two months ago and began asking for recommendations for a good ob/gyn. Edward Wolanski was a name that kept coming up. Friends and friends-of-friends recommended him because they said he tends to be low intervention - he serves as the back-up for a midwife, which is rare and usually indicates an appreciation for a natural approach to childbirth. The one nuance to all the glowing reviews was that he could be brusque and unnecessarily strict about weight, having once told a patient, "We don't want a chubby Christa!" (Except he used her name, of course.) I took this info with a grain of salt, but sure enough, during our consultation visit, one of the first things Wolanski brought up was his recommendation that pregnant women should only gain 20-25 pounds during a pregnancy: this goes against the medically recognized guideline of 25-35 pounds for women who, like me, are in a healthy weight range at the start of pregnancy. I questioned whether his adapted guidelines set up potentially harmful expectations for women who have struggled with eating disorders, and he actually responded, "I've had many patients who have dealt with anorexia, and they tend to do quite well during pregnancy because they watch what they eat." Uh, yeah, that's what anorexics do, but I think our definition of "doing quite well" are not the same. That's the bad news. The worse news is that Wolanski may still be the best (only??) ob/gyn in Charlottesville for women like me, who value a low-intervention approach to childbirth. In the past week, I've researched ob/gyns in Cville like it's my job, and while Martha Jefferson Hospital is more advanced in terms of holistic care of mama + baby, I have yet to find another ob/gyn practice that is recommended for being accepting of a more natural approach to childbirth. I'll update this if/when I do (and if you have recommendations - message me!!)
