Dr. Fred Ferris Diegmann, MD

He delivered my Son Warren Lee Willard the 2nd 41 years ago , He was a wonderful Doctor , I Love him !!!

Dr Diegman has been my doctor for 34 years. He delivered my daughters and 4 grandchildren. He’s always been empathetic and professional. He even helped me get help for a personal problem. He’s the best and I’ve recommended him for years.

I was scheduled for a normal induction on a Thursday in 2017, I was given Cytotec that morning at Thomas Hospital. No progression. Given another.... no progression. We later started the Pitocin. Just like any other normal scheduled induction (this was my 3rd induction I was a pro by then). Unfortunately, that Thursday there was still no progression. By Friday we were still getting no where with this induction. I asked for a c-section when I was told "no this isn't possible" I begged and pleaded, I just didn't feel right. By Saturday we had broken my water, we had swept the membranes, we literally had done it all, but the baby was not dropping. I was anxious (who wouldn't be after 2 days). The Pitocin was causing contractions of every 60 seconds, I don't mean minor contractions, these were intense contractions, the contractions like baby is coming (but he wasn't) Diegmann kept saying, himself, that the baby wasn't dropping. He still insisted to give me an epidural and begin… pushing. I pushed and nothing happened. So, the Pitocin was increased, again. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS TO THE WORST PART Both Diegmann and the nurse begin to argue. He said he never told her to increase the Pitocin, he claims he told her to turn it off. She claims he said to increase the Pitocin. Regardless of who is right or wrong (keep in mind my husband and I know who was right and wrong), the Pitocin was increased. After, Diegmann realized it he had her turn it off, but it was too late..... those 60 second contractions propelled my baby boy clear through my uterus. Now, it was a race against time, to save me and my baby. The nurse knew it, Diegmann knew it, and the entire L&D knew it at Thomas Hospital. My little boy came out as the miricle baby, that day. Not because of Diegmann, not because of that nurse, BUT because of the prayers in that hospital (one specifically by a precious nurse who had God on speed dial) and by the quick acting anesthesiologist who helped saved his life. Diegmann, had to resort to getting emergency help outside of his office, fortunately, God put Dr. Shoemaker there at just the right time. I am very fortunate that he was there.

Dr Diegman has been my Dr for alot of yrs. He delivered both of my sons ages 14 & 12 now. Everybody I know has nothing but GREAT things to say about him and his wonderful staff! Besides how many other Drs have u seen wearing cowboy boots... ð???

If it weren't for this doctor my twin boys would never have been born. I was a high risk pregnancy and his handling of my pregnancy was excellent. My twins are 32 years old and although I have moved away, I am eternally grateful to Dr. Diegmann for the health of my sons. You won't go wrong with this doctor's care.

My husband is in the USCG so we move a lot. I got here when I was 30 weeks. From day one he has been very thorough and professional. He is a wonderful Dr with a great staff! He has a great sense of humor and has a way of making you feel at ease. From day one I felt like I had been his patient my whole life. He fights for his patients and his care is top notch! Couldn't be happier with his care and dedication to his patients.

Completely genuine, the kind of person you aren't afraid to ask questions. My husband put it best: "I'm glad he was the first one to touch our baby" : )

I LOVED my visit with Dr. Diegmann! I hate going to the drs. but I was spotting all the time so I was recommended to dr. diegmann. I was so nervous at first but his staff were SO nice, they made me feel really comfortable! Dr. Diegmann made me feel like I wasn't alone with this problem and he would help me as much as possible. He really wanted to get down to the bottom of my spotting so I got blood work, a vaginal ultrasound, and a pelvic exam. He found out that I wasn't ovulating & wants me to come back in three months. He is a good christian man (which I really liked) I don't know what people are talking about him not liking big people because I weigh 135 and i'm 5'1 so I am def. not skinny and he said NOTHING about my weight and never blamed my problem on anything I had done which made me feel great! I would def. recommend him to anyone. He does joke a lot so if you are not a laid back person you probably won't like him. But he was also so sweet and caring and I HATE going to the… drs. office. I told him that he would def. be delivering my kids and he said he would be HONORED! I LOVE dr. Diegmann & his staff! awesome experience!

Not a size friendly provider; if you are a person of size, whatever your problem may be, the diagnosis usually has something to do with your weight. Very disappointed with my visits.
