Dr. Miriah Beth Denbo, MD

I was treated worse than dirt by this doctor during the delivery of child. I had a failed epidural and as a result experiened significant trauma due to having flashbacks of a prior sexual assult. This was not my first delivery and I never experienced this pain during the birth of my other child. Dr. Denbo repeatedly denied my request for IV paint relief. In fact I was told they COULD NOT give me IV pain meds in conjunction with an epidural as it would be toxic. Something I have since learned after interviewing several anesthesiologists is a complete lie. She gave me a ridiculously low dose of anti anxiety medication instead and scolded me for being hysterical. I though we were past the stage where the medical establishment dismissed the concerns of women in such a manner but, I guess not. In addition to belittling my emotional pain, Dr. Denbo increased my physical pain by shoving her hand up into me with every push for no apparent reason. The doctor who delivered my other child… certainty did no such thing. When, after a lot of pushing, it became apparent the baby wasn't actually to come as soon as the doctor had said she left. When I finally did deliver she ran back into the room literally at the last second. The nurse was telling me to "stop pushing because I'll get in trouble if the doctor is not here". The nurses basically delivered my child. Dr. Denbo did nothing helpful to aid in the baby's delivery and her callous disregard increased my pain and emotional trauma significantly. I am now seeing a therapist to try and recover from the "care" I received from Dr. Denbo.

I recently met with Dr. Denbo as a new patient and was very impressed with the service that I received. She met with me before the exam in her office and listened to any concerns that I had. From there she did a very thorough examination, taking a biopsy based on concerns that she developed from my symptoms. (Everything was fine.) Her bedside manner was great, the staff was very courteous as well.
