I had my C-section with Dr. Vitale and hated her. I was 10 cm dilated and pushed for 4 hours and in those 4 hours Dr. Vitale came in one time for 2 minutes to examine me/check on me. The one time that she came, she started blaming me that I am not doing a good job pushing and if I don't push harder, she will take me for C-section. She was VERY rude and had a really bad attitude. I hated her the most because I told her pretty clearly that I wanted epidural during my pushing process and she refused to give me epidural towards the last one hour of my pushing because she said you will push more effectively without the epidural. I was in such a vulnerable and painful condition that I could not argue with her at that time. But I kept on telling the nurse that I need the epidural, but Dr. Vitale did not approve of giving me more epidural. After 4 hours of pushing and immense pain, I had to go for C-section, where she needed to give me more epidural anyways, so why did she not give it to me before. She has no sympathy for her patients, does not care if they are in pain and is extremely RUDE. If you don't want to be in pain, DO NOT go to this doctor. She SUCKS!!!! read more
