Dr. Michael Lee Stack, MD

I saw Dr. Stack as my GYN for 2-3 years and had absolutely no issues. However, it was a totally different story once I got pregnant. I am a practitioner myself and am the MOST patient about long waits, change of plans, etc. because i have been there on the other side and totally get it. I'd also like to say that I have NEVER written a negative review on a physician in my life. However, I want to save a future momma from the headache, frustration, and overall sadness that I felt over the last year. The first issue arose when I was going in for my anatomy scan with my husband. His front staff rudely told me that my husband wasn't welcome because of COVID, which I totally understand but they couldn't be bothered to send a letter, email, or phone call to notify us of the change in their procedures (my husband came to every ultrasound previously). So my husband missed a day of work for no reason. No big deal. Then, I was in the hospital with COVID19 for one week (on oxygen, blood… thinners, signing emergency delivery papers at 26 weeks pregnant, etc). and both the high risk OBGYN at the hospital and myself were completely unable to reach Dr. Stack to ask medically necessary questions and ensure adequate follow up. I had to educate his RN and front desk staff on why it was imperative that I have my labs drawn (I was needing multiple electrolyte supplements that require prescriptions) when I was discharged. His staff kept trying to delay my appointment (even after the quarantine period recommended by CDC) and no one would let me actually speak to Dr. Stack. I was then admitted twice due to headaches and hypertension at the hospital Dr. Stack was to deliver my baby at... I only saw him one time and the rest of my care was completely performed by the hospital's internal medicine doctors. I never saw my doctor despite being 37 and 38 weeks pregnant experiencing complications. Dr. Stack didn't arrive until I made a huge fuss and complained up the chain to the director of nursing. During my delivery, my baby' heart rate was dropping during contractions, which I knew wasn't good from my own education. I pointed this out to Dr. Stack and to the nurse. I was ignored. Turns out, the cord was wrapped around my baby's neck and shoulder the whole time. Praise the Lord it didn't cause any issues besides very likely delaying my labor. Then Dr. Stack did my son's circumcision. Except he didn't. He cut my child but basically did nothing. My son's primary care pediatrician thought my child was uncircumcised by choice. And now we have to see a urologist at the hospital and my son has to get re circumcised because he's likely at risk for adhesions and therefore urinary tract infections. Oh and to do it at this age, my 4 month old son has to be completely sedated. The last thing I want to do in the middle of a pandemic. So I have to choose between risking painful adhesions and UTIs or putting my child to sleep when he turns 6 months old and we're in the middle of a pandemic. To just add insult to injury, I got the bill for my son's "circumcisions" and when I called the office and civilly explained the situation, I was told "it's basically cosmetic surgery, sorry if you don't like how it looks." Except it's not as simple as "liking how it looks" at this point, now it's medically necessary because it was already partially done. Front desk staff are unorganized and communication is terrible. I guarantee you see turn over 4 times during your pregnancy. And I think that alone should say something. Do NOT ever expect to talk to Dr. Stack unless you are seeing him in person on a scheduled visit. If you call to speak with him, even during normal business hours, even about an emergency where you are hospitalized on oxygen... the best thing you'll get is to chat with his nurse (and likely explain to her why your magnesium and other electrolytes are important while pregnant). Even if you think I am a crazy person, if even just one of the scenarios I described is true.... you are 100% better off seeking care elsewhere.

I have been going to him since a few years. But I didn't avail much of his services till I got pregnant. He was always very nice and friendly and answered all my questions. So I never had any issues with him. But his office people are very rude. I wanted to change the doc several times but I didn't thinking that the doc is really nice. I had the worst experience when after my baby was delivered, his office was closed for 2 weeks. My baby was born very close to Christmas. His office was closed whole of Christmas and New years week. I wanted prescriptions for pain killers but I couldn't get any coz their office was closed. By the time they opened, my pain had gone. I had a lot of pain in my arms and shoulders but I had to be cleared for exercising by him because I had a c section. I asked if I could come in earlier but they denied. On my appt day, I get a call from their office that my appt has to be postponed to next week as doc is out with the flu. I asked if I could come in to see the… nurse or a backup. He didn't have any. Then I receive a letter from him saying that they don't want to serve me as a patient and the reason given to me was he received several complaints and had to keep his employees happy. Have you ever seen a doc who would rather keep his employees happy than having patients? I know that wasn't the reason. He knew he had earned all the money possible from me as I was moving soon. I have learnt my lesson. Don't ever go to a doc who works alone. You would be stranded when you need him the most.

Dr.Stack is a great Dr! He has a great since of humor! I just love him! He a delivered 2 of my children via Csection. I am pregnant with my 3rd! I would recommend him to any woman to be their OBGYN.

Dr. Stack has been my doctor for 14 years and has always been very precise, compassionate, understanding, reliable and quick to providing the very best of service to best of his ability. I have never spent more than an hour in his office between the time I sign in, provide updated insurance information, be examined/treated and then released. He is the best GYN I have ever had that's why I have been with him this long. He makes time for his patients and their needs.

He is very nice, and makes you feel at ease
