Not thrilled about my last appt

I met with a new doc (still have another 4 to cycle through out of the 8 doc practice...) and wasn't thrilled with him.  I was told last appt I would be getting bloodwork this one. He listened on the doppler for about 15 second then did and u/s because I have a slightly tilted  uterus (they have to do this each time so far).  Well this doc just was straight to the point.  Looked at the chest said the heart is beating not even sure how fast it was...took a quick peak btween legs and said the baby is too tiny yet to tell and that was it.  I was hoping just to see what the baby looks like now like they let me last time.  couldn't tell if the baby was even moving.  I get that I was his last patient before lunch but gz.  I didn't even get measured to see if I was growing on track.  He was in such a hurry he filled out the anatomy scan wrong and actually put on there that I am not supposed to get one.  They had to hunt him down and have him fill out a new one and then it took them another 10 min to find a slot for me for the u/s. It was just and awkward 3-5 minutes!

    Oh that is terrible I am so sorry.

    I would request to never get him again. Thats a terrible feeling to not feel like you are cared about or taken the time to ask questions. My son'd pedi was like this when we saw a new doc there and I left in tears. Just awful.

    I'm so sorry!!

    That really sucks! People like that should change careers - no way he should be a doctor. GL finding a better one!

    Oh my gosh, that is SO NOT ok. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.  Not only do I think you should request to never deal with him again I would demand another appointment asap to get some actual information- and it should be free of charge. 

    It sounds like he didn't even try with the doppler and was being lazy, at this point he could have found it.  I have a very tilted uterus and the doppler works just fine, they say it straightens itself out around the 12th week.  Since he went to the trouble of doing an u/s he should have taken a moment to measure the baby and the hb.  This guy sounds like a jerk.

    I think they should bring you in for an ACTUAL appointment and give you some reassurance.

    I'm so sorry that happened.
