Female OB/GYN in St. Mary's?

[HundP]

Thank you ladies very much ....after searching part threads it certainly looks like everyone recommends Polko. It was sad to read about Neal's past suits -- and present apparently.

After seeing what happened with my friend's wife, I think that I made the right choice.

I went to her once years ago(kind of a trial run to see if I liked her). She was snippy with me and seemed like I was bothering her. So that was my last time there.

I went to Dr Neal when I found out I was pregnant (EPT pee stick) with my first son. After going for a blood test to confirm it, she refused to tell me if I was pregnant or not. Umm..ok?? How was I supposed to find out then??? She called me up about a week or two later and told me that I was pregnant.

During the visits, she wouldn't give me any idea of what to expect between visits or what I needed to watch out for. It was my first kid so I had no idea what to expect to be normal vs not normal. She acted like I was supposed to know everything already.

When I delivered, she messed up my episiotomy and I couldn't sit without pain for almost a year. I had to laugh when my husband cut the baby's cord and spewed blood all over her. She treated me like I was an idiot.

For my second kid, I switched to Dr Polko. She was great.

Dr. polko's office is just good all around. They have two triage nurese so if you hvae questions, need a script, have an emergency etc they can work with you to get it taken care of. The wait isnt terrible, and all of the practioners are pleasant, and all are female except for dr. davis. And hes a little goofy, but I had no issues with him. They dont let you pick just dr. polko anymore, you have to see them all because they take turns on call for deliveries, but I was comfortable with each of them.

I absolutely love everyone there. Naru is who I see most of the time now. We have a special bond. We joke and carry on for a few minutes every visit. I have to be seen every 6 months so I've become quite familiar with everyone there.

I can see y'all calling the STD queens frequent flyers, but not so much the people that are there for other medical condition.
