  Doesn't listen. When I asked around about this group, multiple people told me about negative experiences they had with this doctor and the first thing out of his mouth set up a negative experience for me. I was in for my fourth baby and he introduced himself by saying, "You know what causes this, right?" I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he thinks he's being funny, but it's not. He also said this to a friend of mine when she started her care on her eighth baby. He wouldn't listen to me and my knowledge of my own body and moved up my due date almost a whole week based on an ultrasound at 12 weeks. Many second opinions have verified that 12 weeks is well past a point when ultrasounds should be used for dating a pregnancy (my doctor for my first pregnancy--out of state or I wouldn't have left her--wouldn't change my date based on a larger discrepancy at 10 weeks). I was shocked that he was so authoritative about it--as if I needed to be a doctor to understand my basic fertility. I KNOW when I ovulated, I chart and use OPKs and have tracked every cycle I've had for years. He completely blew me off. And I know this is nit-picky, but he's way too handsy for my comfort level. At my first appointment with him, he did a routine breast exam and took well over twice as long as any other doctor who performed this procedure. I also have inverted nipples, and he is the only one who has ever completely spread them out to examine them, to the point of actual pain. The second time I saw him, he pulled my pants down to my thighs to measure my belly. This is my fourth pregnancy and no one has ever done more than nudge my waistband down just as much as they needed to in order to get the measurement and I was at a group practice for two of my other pregnancies and saw a number of providers throughout them. He had my entire pubic region exposed to measure my belly. I almost cried, I felt so violated. While I had many experiences that moved me to get the hell out of that practice for my care, these were some of the top. I would not recommend this man to any woman.
