I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants their OB-GYN to pretend to care about you as a patient. I started bleeding early on in my pregnancy, and called to see if I could get an appointment in. The receptionists are cold and robotic, I feel like they are trained not to react, and not to show emotion. Cool, but being met with that attitude while potentially miscarrying is jarring to put it lightly. I could feel the receptionist rolling her eyes thought the phone as I begged her, in tears, to try to fit me in in the next few days to see if my baby was ok. She advised me to go to the emergency room if I thought it was that bad. Not sure if you have, but I have been to the emergency room for a miscarriage before, it's a horrific experience I don't wish on anyone - there for 9 hours in a waiting pattern and being told at every step of the way that a miscarriage isn't an emergency and I should have gone to my OB-GYN for it. Gee, wouldn't I have loved to do that, if my OB-GYN would factor in time for emergency situations, alas... anyways. I digress. I begged the receptionist for someone, anyone to see me in the next few days. She said, dryly, that she'd "put a note in to the doctors" I didn't end up hearing back from them for THREE WEEKS. Read that again... THREE WEEKS. Luckily I did some rage-searching after that disappointing phone call and found a new, wonderful OB-GYN in my network who, when I called, and I said "I'm bleeding" the receptionist said "oh no, we need to get you in right away." So, Silver linings. But moral of the story - Don't go here.
