Steer clear. This practice lacks both competence & compassion.
In August 2023, I was seen here by Dr. Rona Ding & Dr. Reena Vasavada and had a horrible, traumatizing experience. In my opinion, Dr. Ding I particular was not qualified or ready to be seeing patients on her own as an OBGYN. However, both Drs. Ding & Vasavada were inept at performing a bedside ultrasound and should not be attempting these in-house due to that ineptitude. I spent an hour receiving alternating transvaginal and abdominal ultrasounds, both of which were extremely poor attempts to confirm my pregnancy. Dr. Ding spent at least 30min haphazardly switching between ultrasound methods and barely attempting the TV method, making it no surprise she couldn't find anything. When she FINALLY called Dr. Vasavada in to take another look, the latter did the same thing. Feeble TV attempt, feeble abdominal attempt, back and forth, until finally she declared (unsympathetically) that I probably had had a chemical pregnancy. She took one last look with the wand and casually said she might see something after all.
They discharged me and told me to go to the ER across the street. They didn't call over and give any context to the doctors there, so I spent 4hrs in limbo, explaining myself over and over and over again to multiple doctors, that Dr. Vasavada thought I may have an ectopic pregnancy. Several hundred dollars later, and much emotional trauma, the OB the ER EASILY confirmed a healthy, viable intrauterine pregnancy. He and other nurses/doctors in the ER were confused why'd id been sent over at all. Nothing was wrong. The pregnancy was clear.
Dr. Ding & Dr. Vasavada should not be performing ultrasounds. They clearly lack the skill to do so. Even the way they did it made no sense. They had me empty my bladder multiple times, even though a full bladder helps an abdominal ultrasound. The way that the TV ultrasound felt made it very clear they had no understanding of how to manipulate the wand to get a clear view / multiple angles. In fact, I feel very lucky that their negligence & incompetence did not itself cause a miscarriage for me.
To top it all off, neither doctor reached out after I was seen at the ER. Nor did they offer any condolences when initially telling me I was not pregnant. Nor any apologies when they found a potential sac.
I happily found a new OB and have an 8mo daughter now. I'm so grateful their red flags showed immediately and I didn't face consequences of their negligence that could have endangered either of us later on. read more
