Just a warning for any ladies looking for a doctor. Before I was prego I was seeing Dr. Jones at WP OBGYN and out of my 5 visits - 4 times she was called out for a delivery and I was stuck with another doctor or forced to reschdule. When reschedule I asked to switch doctors and the first available was Dr. Lincourt.
To make a long story short - I had seen Dr. Lincourt twice with issues menstrating/conceiving and she even met my husband multiple times.
As I explained to her I had some unusal hair growth, her response was "Your Italian, I'm sure you have a hairy Aunt somewhere in your family." When I returned a week later for a follow-up visit, her first question was "Are you sexual active?" Umm DUH - trying to get prego here! Then she asked "Are you married?" At that point I left the office and didn't feel comfortable with her even touching me since she couldn't take 5 mins to read the file and even pretend she remembered me.
I later saw Dr. Loy at the Center for Reproductive Med and was diagnosed with PCOS, Endo. and toxic free fluid. All things WP OBGYN never even tested for. Wasted a year trying to conceive with a horrible doctor!
Re: Winter Park OBGYN - worst practice ever!
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Dr. Lincourt delievered DS and she was wonderful when it came to the most important part, delivering. She created a very calming affect in the delivery room. She talked to me about what was happening as I was delivering, to keep my mind off the pain and it helped me to focus on the job at hand.
WP OBGYN is a VERY busy practice though. The have 4 locations and a TON of patients.
I hope that things will work out for you. Good luck!
Have you tried Physicians Associates? I would recommend them a million times over- especially Dr. Peppy at their Sandlake office, who is one of the highest rated ob/gyns in the state. Dr. Santiago did my emergency c-section, and did such a fantastic job that I am a prime candidate for a VBAC- which doesn't often happen with an emergency c.
Good luck!!
I had the same horrible experience with them. I was diagnosed with the wrong infertility issue and treated for nearly a year by them for this misdiagnosis. The doctor said to me, "We can definitely get you pregnant." He lied. He equated my ovaries to swiss cheese (I was so insulted and upset that i cried for a week and stopped eating swiss cheese). I finally went to CRM and saw Dr. Loy. He found the problem immediately it it turns out that all the treatments I had at Winter Park OBGYN never had a chance of working. I wasted a year for nothing with them. I finally got pregnant at CRM (CRM is AWESOME). I went back to WP Obgyn thinking that maybe they might not be good at infertility, but they might be good at obstetrics. NOT AT ALL! The doc told me that no form of Down's is genetic (which is wrong, 1 out of 3 forms is hereditary), he didn't listen to my concerns, the ultrasound technician tried to make it out that it was my fault i was misdiagnosed, and I just waked out of there feeling scared for my pregnancy. Needless to say, i have an appointment with a different OB GYN now... DO NOT USE winter park obgyn for infertility. Go to a specialist. They don't know what they are doing. I wouldn't suggest them for obstetrics either.
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. However, I have been going to WP OBGYN for almost a year now. Dr. Dukes helped me through the loss of my first pregnancy. I have never before felt so comfortable with a doctor. He allowed my husband and I to sit with him in his office until I was able to compose myself and stop crying. Then he made me feel like his top priority. When we found out we were pregnant again, he was just as excited for us as we were! Every time I go in for an appointment, the office staff is so friendly. Yes, sometimes I may have to wait a while to see a doctor, but I do understand they are very busy, and if they are busy helping another patient with something important (such as delivering their child!), I know I can be more patient!! I have never felt mistreated or lost in the shuffle. I am excited for one of the wonderful doctor's there to deliver my baby in April!
