Robert F. Fraser II

I went into his office after they saw a cystic hygroma on my first ultra sound. I didn't a second one in his office and the results were terrifying. He told me I had an 85-90% chance that I was not going to deliver a live baby and that I likely wouldn't make it to my 16 week appointment. It has almost been a year since I received this news and I am still tearing up when I am writing about it. I was petrified my entire pregnancy and almost felt like it was a waiting game. After trying to get pregnant for 5 years, this was terrible news and needless to say it ruined the entire experience. I felt as though he presented the information as matter of fact and I even felt as though I should contained my emotions. I was left in a room to cry about these results. In April, I delivered a baby boy...who is growing and meeting milestones as expected. He had an extra pinky on each hand, and a slight heart defect which is something he is capable of living just fine with. Aside from all… of these issues I had a seemingly easy pregnancy with minimal scares health wise and an extremely easy delivery.

When I was EIGHTEEN and pregnant with my first child, his staff proceeded to tell me that I was going to have a mentally retarded baby before I even got a chance to speak to the doctor himself. He refused to do any follow up with me to check and see if what he thought to be signs of this. Luckily, I got a different ultrasound done at a different place to ensure that what he thought was the problem was in fact cleared up. Every time I have known people to go to Fremont, I always recommend that they ask to go to a different place to do ultrasounds.
