I have had two very negative experiences here. I gave them a second chance-and I will never go here again. My first appointment was to put in an IUD. It was a nightmare!! The installation device malfunctioned and the strings got stuck in the device. The Nurse Practitioner then had to take the IUD back out. Yup. All in one session-i had to get one put in (extremely painful) and then taken right back out (also extremely painful). I almost passed out. Then she kept telling me how rare this is-as if that's going to make me feel any better! I couldn't get up, because of the pain, and she had zero empathy. She was pressuring me to get up and leave after lying down for only 5 minutes. IT WAS AWFUL!!!
My second visit was with a different doctor, and I was hoping it would be better. Sadly, this doctor was also terrible. He was rude and made me uncomfortable. I was there to talk to him about getting my tubes tied because I know I don't want kids, and I don't want anymore IUDs, nor any hormonal birth control. He didn't even introduce himself. He walked in and started with a snarky question-"so how many children do you have?" And seemed pleased with himself. WTF? I said none. I explained the nightmares I have had with IUDs, multiple serious risk factors for giving birth, plus my age (in my 40's), and being sick of negative side effects hormonal birth control. Getting tubes tied seems the best option to me. I also know my body can't handle having children. He told me that women who haven't had kids are likely to regret getting their tubes tied. And he wasn't telling me I couldn't do it-but that he didn't recommend it. Ugh. And then told me just to use a calendar and to plan to not have sex during my most fertile time of month. WTF??? That's your answer?? He was acting like it wouldn't be a big deal if I had a kid. ITS MY BODY AND MY LIFE BRO!!! This guy had a weird attitude with me, and was judgey about me wanting to get my tubes tied without having had children already?? I would not recommend this practice! read more
