I’m sorry, that’s some unwarranted extra stress. They should behave better being a doctor and all. I think that I would either not go back (get a new clinic,doctor) or complain to the manager but, then they’ll know you as the person that complained about so and so. Yea I would just request a new different doctor or just switch clinics. You don’t need to be stressed whenever you go in there.

Awww I am so sorry that your doctor visit turned out bad, luv. sending love and hugs

I would definitely call the hospital and ask to make a complaint about the doctor, as well as ask for a new one.

Take care of yourself and the bb - I'm pretty sure you can report incompetent doctors like this through your insurance (depending on your country).

I would go and file a written complaint or grievance with the hospital/clinic about that doctor. Who knows how many others he/she has done this to and got away with it. Then I would request to see a different provider. You have a right to be treated with dignity and respect.

I know some insurance companies require you to see certain people but if you keep a copy of the complaint and send it to them usually they will work with you on seeing someone else.

Ew what a jerk..... I would find a new doctor if possible __ I'm so sorry to hear that.

I sometimes make a note for the doc to read or one for myself about what I want to say, as I sometimes get anxious during appointments. :) You and also see about maybe finding a new doc or possibly talk to the head of the doc if there is one? Good luck! It sucks to be treated rudely, especially in a vulnerable position like this. :hugs:

I would look for a new doctor after filing a complaint. I would ask family, friends and anyone else you know that could recommend a better doctor. Better yet, when looking for a new doctor, I would look up reviews and ratings. No one should ever put up with a rude doctor like that. You could even post a rating and review of that doctor if you wanted to.

If you lived near Houston, I would recommend the ob-gyn clinic I went to that found treated my fibroids.

Well, that is a tricky situation. I would probably bring someone with me to all my appointments and ask them to be my advocate if anything like that should ever occur, if I think it might. You can't always predict when people will be rude. I am sorry that happened to you. :( I hope you can switch to a nicer doctor (that is the other thing I would do).

I'm so sorry this happened to you Evalynn. The last thing you need to deal with is a rude, unfeeling doctor. It sounds like this isn't your principal doctor but just one who does the blood work. If that's the case you should just tell your primary care or family doctor and let him/her report it or have a talk with the other doctor for you. (((hugs)))

Oh no! That's terrible!

Is there any way you can bring up your thoughts/complaints to a head doctor, or someone in charge of the facility, or some board of health somewhere? That's no way to treat anyone, full stop. Maybe there's another way to get the test still done, rather than waiting for the ultrasound.

Good luck!

I'm very sorry to hear what happened to you. Like the others said, you need to report this. Don't let this happen to another expecting mother. It's very stressful and unhealthy for you and your baby. I truly hope your future visits are more nurturing and stress-free!

- If you are comfortable addressing the individual in person the next time you see them, I would explain that the last visit wasn't acceptable, and explain the reasons why. They cannot change if they do not understand that they are not doing their job properly. If you are like me and avoid confrontation at all costs, then I would try not to see that person again and find an alternative you are comfortable with. lol I also find that I have much better luck e-mailing either the individual or a superior, because I can write what I am thinking and then read it back to see how it sounds and change it if necessary. There is no excuse for someone to treat you poorly - you are worth far more than that. :)

I am with the majority here. You may want to look into finding a way to rate the doctor. Many hospitals have websites that allow you to post a review of their staff. That also will help with anonymity, if that is something you want.

Number one, you should be comfortable with your doctor. They should be informative and encouraging. If this last doctor wasn't IT for you, switch! When you make your next appointment mention that you want a certain doctor and you are not comfortable with anyone else.

Thank you guys! really appreciate all the feedback so far :)

I agree with everyone else, change your doctor. Your pregnancy and the birth of your precious bundle should be the most magical experience of your life. I don’t understand how anyone employed in antenatal care can behave in this way ??‍♀️

You WHAT. What even happened, how could she refuse to do that? Is she a nutjob or what. Like everyone else has said, it's not late to switch doctors. If she was THAT rude, I would not have her being in charge of your life or your child's life. It's time for the good ol' switcheroo, don't you think? It would be nice for us to know what exactly happened tho, but I understand you not wanting to share such details.

what shitty treatment, but it kinda sounds like she's not your usual doctor, so hopefully you won't have to deal with her again? if that's the case you could still mention it to your main doc, or at least someone at the hospital/clinic where you went to. if you're not comfortable putting an official complaint in, you should be able to ask for it to be anonymous. if you have to see her again, as already mentioned taking someone with you might be a good idea, perhaps she won't behave so rudely with an audience (maybe she was just having a shitty day and for whatever reason decided to let her professionalism slip when you had your appointment? which sucks) and if it was me i'd take some notes of what i wanted to say, as i usually forget things in the moment, especially in stressful situations. but if you have the choice of seeing someone different next time, i'd definitely opt for that. you don't deserve to be treated rudely and not to have your requests granted, or at least reasons given respectfully as to why they can't be done as you've asked. i hope your next appointment is way better, and we will all wait a little longer for the gender reveal :-)

I don't like doctors like that. I'd report them. Flat out. If they're going to not give you a good reason why, fire them and report them. Doctors work FOR YOU. YOU pay their salaries.

Doctors with god complexes really make me mad, I'm sorry ^^;;

Good luck and I hope things work out better at your next appointment!

Sorry you had to go through this :/

Like others say, change while you can! Also tell the head of the doctors(?) about the situation so they can do something about it..

I'm very sorry to hear what happened to you. I'd report it and find a new doctor.
