Dr. Sharon Marie Desmarais, MD

The amount of micro aggressions I experienced at my last visit made me leave this practice over a year ago. I loved my original gynecologist and was open to Dr. Desmarias when I was assigned to her after my original doctor retired. But all it took was two visits to realize that her bedside manner and sensitivity was subpar. In one visit she had told me I was old (at 30 years old), stated “oh you’re not a “real Principal” when I responded to her inquiries about my job, and felt the need to share she’d never had an abnormal pap when giving me my results. I’ve honestly never taken into consideration the race of my gynecologist until my interactions with her. I’ve since transferred to a different doctor outside of this facility and have had nothing but positive experiences. I would not recommend.

Dr. Desmarais was very nice to me and she explained everything as she did the procedure!

She mandated a repeat c section after one high BP reading and another one 5 minutes later- not even enough to dx hypertension. It was due to a panic attack, but she didn't listen. Didn't offer alternatives- like monitoring- as there was no swelling, protein in urine, etc. Within 30 minutes back to 100/50 but I never saw her again until in the OR hours later. She never once came to check on me until it was too late and the spinal was in place. Then I found out she fabricated a dx of pre-eclampsia to justify it.

Dr. Desmarais, has put my life in danger because of imposing her personal opinions about my choice of care as unimportant. Because I refused a type of treatment that made me uncomfortable. I am forced to delay a much needed surgery because of being on Medicaid, not wanting to accept blood. She has left me bleeding inside and I am under severe distress. From not having a proper referral. Especially when she is associated with a hospital that was equipped to take care of my needs before I was released from the hospital to fend for myself. I left the hospital in tears no, I would not recommend that anyone go through that type of treatment ever. To this date I have been unable to receive the treatment I need.

I love Dr. Desmarais! She and her nurse are wonderful. However, the woman at the front desk is quite insensitive. When I went for my appointment, I asked her to give me an estimate of the cost and she said, Well, whats the problem, dont you have an HSA?. Whether I have an HSA or not isnt the point. I have a right to know what my estimated costs will be. In today's times, especially, I thought her comment was extremely rude and insensitive. We make choices of where to go for medical care. That women should have been glad I chose that office.
