Dr. Elissa Rose Hellman, MD

Nightmare full term birth with her. Baby Required nicu time due to low cord ph (metabolic acidosis). Baby was born at 8pm at night and she came in at 8am the next day to see me to discharge me. Basically insinuated that if I didn’t leave to be with my baby I was a bad mom and there’s nothing they can do for me at birth center that I can’t do at home. So I left the hospital 14h post delivery with a second degree tear. I wish I would have stayed, but felt kicked out. She didn’t even look at me before I was discharged. Ran to the nicu, Walked forever with pain all to not be allowed to feed or hold baby. She called me after and only asked how the baby was and not how I was doing a first time mom with a baby transferred to two nicus. I told her I was struggling with breastfeeding since baby was taken to nicu and she said I could always stop and go to formula and said “Been there, done that.” Very unsympathetic and could have at least said something like I’m sorry you have to go through… this.

Always in a huge rush, very unsympathetic

Always in a huge rush, very unsympathetic

She is very unsympathetic to any problems you may be having and is always in a huge rush. Didn't even introduce herself to my husband.

Every visit I feel like she is just waiting for me to finish, even if I only have one concern I want to address. She never remembers my medical history, and I feel like she couldn’t care less that she’s my doctor. I will be leaving to find a new OB GYN

After a few visits, she still only disregards anything I said and only spends brief moments talking to me each time, as if my visits are somehow an inconvenience in her day. Does not feel like she cares about me or what I am going through at all! Find another doctor!
