This Dr. is of the old school mentality- he's been doing this for years and he's going to do it his way. I felt that little attention was paid to my birth preferences, and he even seemed annoyed that I voiced them. He was in a rush during my child's birth; pushing numerous interventions on me, including a c-section which was not ultimately needed. His bedside manner is extremely lacking. Worst of all, I believe his hurried manner contributed to his failure to recognize a life-threatening postpartum complication. I will not set foot into this Dr.'s office again, and would not recommend him to any friend or loved one.
