Terrible doctor. Just wants his money and asks you to go back and do tests over and over for no reason. Stay away

Was sent to him by Dr vish office, had 2 ultrasounds , everything was fine, went in for my 3rd and they checked my cervix, apparently it was short, so Dr helm came in and said measure again in a week, so we did that , at this next visit he said it was normal ( keep things boring). And sent me for a preterm blood test to tell how likely it would be for preterm for me. ( Apparently test came back it's a very low chance)..Then on November 30th I had an echo done on my baby, the lady said everything looked fine but it still has to go to pediatric cardiology....long story short I went into labor 23 weeks and 3 days pregnant 12/4/23 at 4 am in the morning my water broke and everything. I live about 35 min away from the closest hospital, when I got there I was 5 cm dilated already contractions 2 min apart apparently my placenta detached and they had to rush me back to the O.R. for a c section.
Our precious Cyrus didn't make it...so ladies please ask extra questions when they check your cervix..don't be shy..ask all the questions I never would wish this pain on anybody... At 25 weeks now and I should be planning my baby shower not waiting for the funeral home to call me to pick him up..

Read reviews before going to his office and was nervous but he was great. He took his time and made me feel comfortable. He made sure to answer any questions I had and reassured me that baby and I were doing good. Definitely have nothing bad to say about Dr. Helm.

He is honest/knowledgeable , he says it how it is, which for me is great. Our baby girl had a syndrome and was told there are rare occurrences where the baby can live and for us it wasnt the case because her heart was failing and showed us on the ultrasound images why her heart was failing, was Very thorough. He reached out to my OB for me right away too and helped me out. Ultimately, He was right. Two weeks later her heart unfortunately was in the low 40s towards the end of her time with us. Also sonographers are great and front desk girls are really nice too! He said some suggestions too for next pregnancy that I took note of that Im extremely grateful for. Overall, was great!
