After following their advice for my first baby I ended up getting induced at 39 weeks and my body nor my baby was ready. Going off of the Bishop score I was at high risk for c section/medical intervention if I was induced (I had no idea at the time and trusted the Dr to make the best decision). Low and behold we needed medical intervention (vacuum 2) and now my son has calcification on his skull from it. For my second I decided I wanted to go natural and avoid induction as much as possible. The doctor used a lot of scare tactics and pressured me into getting induced at 41 weeks. He even said he has only had 4 women go over 41 weeks and they all ended up in complications. Luckily, the morning of my induction, I already started going into labor by myself. I went into the hospital at my appointed time and before even checking to see if I was dilated or anything they wanted to insert cytotec! WOMEN... DO YOUR RESEARCH. THIS IS NOT FDA APPROVED AND IS ACTUALLY A METHOD USED FOR ABORTION! I refused cytotec because of everything I read on it so then they wanted to try the balloon. I reluctantly agreed but asked to be checked first. Dr Pam "visually" checked and said it didn't look like I was dialated so she inserted the balloon. Upon inserting it and tugging at it, to provide the pressure, it came right out. I WAS 4CM DIALATED. She broke my water which I agreed to and my labor was very smooth and quick. When it came time to push (I was not medicated at all) doctor nick denson came in and had the nurses FORCE ME ON MY BACK. THEY GRABBED MY WRISTS AND ANKLES WHILE I WAS PUSHING, AND THEY FORCED ME ON MY BACK. The only reason for this was because "how am I suppose to catch the baby". Pushing on your back is not the best was to get baby out! Long story short. I don't trust them to have your best interest in mind. It's all on a schedule and they treat every women the same. I'm shocked at how I was treated, and I will only use a midwife from here on out.

I absolutely loved my time at Teton Women's Health! Dr. Pam Denson is amazing and was always willing to answer questions. I also have to say Brandi, the nurse I worked with, was phenomenal! Everyone there is so invested in you and your health. They all care so much and it's so apparent! I'd highly recommend Dr. Pam Denson and her office!

I would not recommend Dr. Pam to any women that have had experience with SA. I went in to recieve a pap smear and I was very nervous because of my history of SA. I explained this to her and was met with no emotion and a feeling of rushing me into it and out the door. It was very upsetting for me to go through and painful. I was left in tears and there was absolutely no bedside manner or aftercare and the doctor immediately left the room without saying anything. The nurses were very nice and informed me that I was good to leave. I wanted to talk to Dr. Pam about testing but she rushed off before I even got the chance. I am now left to find another doctor to do testing and exams. I understand you are not a therapist, but any kindness or patience would have been appreciated in a women's health clinic. 1 in 6 women go through what I did. I am left horrified with what I went through here and my fears have gotten worse. It felt like it happened again. I would not reccomend Dr. Pam to any woman. Especially those of us who have suffered with SA. [EDIT: I have recently been diagnosed with vaginismus. Which I had during this procedure and it worsened after]
