Dr. Earl Fredrick Elowsky, MD

After spending nearly 90 minutes trying to convince me to take medicine that is contraindicated for a condition I have, he performed a Pap smear and exam. I have never before experienced pain, only discomfort, for this kind of exam. But he clearly used the wrong size speculum and injured my urethral opening. It hurts so bad to urinate now. I cry nearly every time since this exam. Also, I bled quite a bit from the pap. My husband was with me and couldn't believe how much blood was on doc's gloves when he was through. The nurse seemed trained to keep her back to me and stare at the counter. I now have to see another doctor to see how to repair my urethra. When I called to cancel my follow up appointment, the secretary didn't seem to care at all. She didn't seem surprised, either. I have a feeling Dr Elowsky loses many patients after a routine pap. No way will I take his "medical advice" on anything.

First thing he was saying was that he wasn't sure my pregnancy was viable. When I asked why he couldn't give me an answer. I'm getting a different doctor, he has no bedside manner.

The receptionist is not courteous to others. She gives off the vibe that she's a miserable person who hates her job. Dr. Elowsky, never spends enough time with me at our appointments. He has the "hand always on the door knob" feel. Due to my lifestyle, I steer clear from putting things into my body that are not of benefit. When I asked about an alternative to the Glucose drink because I'm not comfortable with putting that into my body or my baby's body, he basically told me that I had no idea what I was talking about and that I ingest that stuff anyway in the foods I eat. He made me feel like I was lesser than him and that my argument had no value. He proceeded to put in my chart that I want the Tdap vaccine when he knows that I don't agree with vaccinations. I'm switching doctors and I feel confident with that decision. No one should make me feel bullied and belittled especially the person who is going to be delivering my baby. I do not trust this man at all.
