My Second "First" Appointment

I switched doctors. The appointment yesterday just left me feeling - uneasy - for several reasons - and I'm SHARING the place AND reasons - so that if you need an OB doctor in the future you can use this information.

There were a lot of things that just added up yesterday that made the whole appt. a horrible experience. I could have dealt with any ONE of these things - but all of them together is just not acceptable in my opinion.

**They called me an hour before my appt. and asked for me to be there half an hour early

**A nurse and the receptionist were fighting for about 5 minutes while the line grew and they weren't paying any attention to us

** I didn't even see a doctor or a nurse practitioner, but an LPN, which I thought was rude of my doctor to not even stop in

**The LPN left the door open the ENTIRE time she asked me all these personal questions

**She told me to write my questions down because if I called and left a message it could take her 2-3 days to respond

**....AND a couple other minor things, but they just add to the whole experience

This is with Capital Region OBGYN -- Dr. Nolla was my practicing doctor (who didn't, obviously, practice!)

I got a new doctor today - Dr. Jennifer Su - my first appointment is November 24th - and guess what - I GET AN ULTRASOUND that day - when, with my last doctor, I'd get one and only one in February! This is the same doctor my sister and several friends go/have went to - I'm excited!!

  1. That’s awesome!! I know a lot of people who see her. I used to go to Capitol Region OBGYN but after my first follow up doctors apt. my OBGYN retired which I thought was very rude, she should not have taken on a new patient if she was going to be retiring within the next 6 months. Hope everything goes well with your NEW doctor!! Dr. Su's dad (Dr. Felo-idk if that is spelled right) is my doctor now and when/if I get preggo they say I will see Sr. Su. Her dad delievered Chuck which is kinda weird thou!!
