If I could, I would give it 0 stars. I'm from another country. And I've always needed my husband to accompany me to all my appointments. That's never been a problem. I had the experience of having my first daughter with them. They are horrible, from the staff at the first counter to the doctors. They are uneducated and don't show any interest in your problem. Yesterday I had a horrible experience... finding a parking lot was a long journey to the office. I was having trouble carrying my baby. I arrived a few minutes late, which is not my fault. But the attendant was completely rude. I've been waiting for this appointment for 5 months. I called from the parking lot to let them know I was going to be late, and they didn't answer, they just forwarded me to the electronics... Anyway, they showed no sympathy and sent me to the hospital, which has now been waiting for over a month... I'm in a lot of pain because of my IUD. They simply said: if you're in a lot of pain, go to the hospital. So now I'm going to look for another clinic, in fact no obstetric clinic here in Winchester has 5 stars but this one only has 2, so please it's worth reading the comments, believe me this is the worst experience a pregnant mother can have with them...
This place was WAYYY better when Dr Nashed was there! You guys don't even have 3 stars!!???????????? Going down hill!! I'm GLAD you guys told me you wouldn't see me anymore!!
A few nurses were cool but MOST were in the way!! I see you guys changed your name as well!! Did someone sue?!! ???? I guarantee this place won't be up and running in the next 36 months!!???????? Or it will have another name change!!#happywithmynewdoctors
I've had a wonderful experience so far with Britney Pitcock, FNP-C, MSN. After a traumatic third trimester and negligent birth experience under the care of Dr. Hayes and Winchester OBGYN, I am SO thankful to be cared for by a new team. During my first visit Britney thoughtfully listened to my health history, asked appropriate questions and was overall empathetic towards my past pregnancy situation. The office is clean and looks to be recently renovated. I'm so glad I switched!
I moved to Winchester a couple years ago when I was pregnant with my 2nd child and was happy that they were able to get me in, so I stayed, despite not really vibing with Dr Kattal. At the time, they had various drs that you would see each visit, so I just hoped I got one of them. In my appt with her, I had expressed my desire to be induced at 39 weeks, and she said they didn't do that- which would I would accept, but every other dr I saw at that practice said I could. Fast forward to my final check ups and I get Kattal again, who still insists that I can't be induced early. They finally agree to induce me a couple days after my due date, and Kattal is my Dr....I asked repeatedly for an epidural, but kept being told I needed to wait and there was "no reason yet". I was trying to be understanding, but I had given birth in a different hospital for my first child and I was never made to wait, so I brought this up gently, and she seemed offended. I finally get the epidural much later, give birth, only to find out as it wore off that I had a "wet tap" and was leaking spinal fluid because it took the anesthesiologist a couple tries to place it. I was in terrible pain all night long (unless I laid flat) and could barely hold my baby much less try to feed him- but thanks to an eagle eyed nurse at the hospital it was identified and other drs fixed it easily in the morning with a blood patch. I can't say, but I have to wonder if getting the epi earlier would have made a difference. I'll say that my post-partum check up was normal, got an iud placed quickly, no additional friction there. Fast forward to more recently, I've been avoiding going to get my yearly check up because I don't love it there. I end up getting a TERRIBLE yeast infection from some antibiotics I was on, and I call them to see if I could be seen. I also had my period (that can trigger YIs, so should be fairly normal). The nurses were very nice but tell me that Kattal (all the other drs are gone now) won't see me to test for a YI until my period is over (a week later) because she can't test me on my period (even though I barely bleed due to my IUD), and won't prescribe me anything without seeing me (literally no risk in prescribing some diflucan). Frankly, this was my last straw. I declined an appointment and took myself to urgent care, where they had no problem testing me and helped me right away. I've switched doctors now and I will not be looking back. I don't feel like I should need to constantly advocate for myself in order to receive routine medical care, and I don't care to see a Dr that would let me live in pain for that long without helping.
Kattal is literally the worst doctor I've ever had. She's always booked out 3 months. Even when other staff assures you that she'll approve prescription requests until your appointment she continuously denies them. She rushes you out the door, even after detrimental news of a miscarriage, which she breezed right through and then immediately asked if i wanted surgery or the pill just to get me out and move onto the next bill.. i mean patient. She brushes off every single concern. She's almost impossible to understand because she refuses to slow down and annunciate properly. You can feel that she doesn't actually care about her patients, for her it's clearly all about the money. The rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating, which is the only reason i have given 1 star. If it weren't for her supporting staff she wouldn't have a practice. Pretty sad.
I had a miscarriage and ER referred me to the OB Doctor for evaluation, ultrasound and referral to a high risk OBGYN moving forward. They also found a large ovarian cyst. This is my fourth miscarriage which is why the ER doctor was adamant I be evaluated. Office refused and would only do bloodwork.
If you are a woman and you care about your health you should definitely read this. I went in for a visit this morning regarding my IUD, the appointment has been scheduled for a month because that’s the earliest they could see me, even for emergency’s. I went to the emergency room the other night because half of my IUD fell out.. so I get to my appointment late this morning so I had to reschedule, automatically the nurse was very rude and nasty about me being late, everytime I spoke about my IUD being removed at the next appointment she talked over me repeating the fact that I was late and that she read my notes from the ER; she claimed they said it was “in tact” and I’m fine. So I rescheduled, rode around the hospital and got my X-ray results and notes stating my IUD is in fact broken and needs to be removed. I took it back to the nurse, in tears, and explained there had to be a mix up earlier because here’s my papers, I presented the papers, she continued to read the paragraph and STILL said I’m just not reading it right and im fine, she TOSSED my X-ray disk back at me and said “we can’t view this anyway so here” then she proceeded to call SECURITY on me because I was trying to explain what the ER doctor said and when she kept being extremely rude I wrote her name down and she screamed “DONT LOOK AT MY NAME TAG” and instructed the other nurse to call security.
The way I’m explaining it sounds so much nicer than the way the interaction went and yes I called her boss and requested she view the video footage from the office. I’ve NEVER had an experience like that from a doctors office. Even as I’m in tears begging to notate my appointment so next time it gets taken care of, this woman is screaming at me about being late.
I even told her I’m not demanding an appointment today! I told her I just wanted to make sure my next appointment goes correctly.
Angela is her name, and I hope to the good lord there is a camera in that office because that was absolutely humiliating and unprofessional. Completely lacks empathy and basic respect.
Delivered both of my babies with Dr. Leonard and Dr. Kattal. Such an enjoyable experience and highly recommend them.
