Brannon & Rogers Ob Gyn: Ronald G Rogers, MD

I completely agree with the others who have reviewed this practice. While I have found that the nursing staff is courteous and friendly, Dr. Brannon is out of the room before he steps foot in the room. While this makes the yearly exam quick and painless, it is not what you want for your OB. He has not yet asked me how I am feeling although he did ask me if I had any questions. When I asked him my question, he answered me with a sarcastic question. What really pushed me to look for another OB, he told me that if I didn't like his ways, I would be finding another Dr. Well guess what, that is exactly what I am doing. I will not go through my pregnancy knowing that my physician is only thinking about getting to the next person. I cannot speak about any of the other physicians in the practice but I would not recommend Dr. Brannon to anyone. As an afterthought, I have waited in the waiting room from 35 minutes to 1 hour each time. Find someone else. Pros: Quick yearly exams Cons: No bedside manner, impatient, unprofessional, rude more

I've been a patient of this practice for 11 years. I've had a baby delivered by Dr. Brannon, Dr. Rogers and Dr. Z! I trust them completley, and am looking forward to seeing them again with my new pregnancy. I have always found them to be very open to my questions, and very knowledgable. Often the wait is long, but I know they are giving each patient the care they need. Pros: Knowledgable, Caring Cons: High Wait Time (but they have WiFi) more

This practice cancels and reschedules appts at this last min way too much!!! They have called me to reschedule because the doctors were going on vacation! I have gone to my appts twice in the last couple of months only to learn when I get there, the doc had an emergency and had left for the day. This is not a way to run a practice. You can not rely on these doctors to even be there when you show up for your appt. It also feels like they try to rush through to get to the next appt. I don't even feel like I can ask a question about my pregnancy. Pros: Friendly staff Cons: Appts are canceled and rescheduled alot, You are rushed in and out more

I was refered to this practice by a friend, Apparently we have had opposite expiernces. I started off seeing Dr. Brannon, He is a very funny DR. who makes u feel comfortable... but he is the reason why i cry everytime i leave there... He has canceled MANY of my apts, the latest one they canceled 5 min before i was supposed to be there. ( I was in the Parking Lot) ... I then made another apt for the following day and ended up waiting there for over 2 hours for them to tell me to reschedule again... I REFUSED... I have never been there less then an hour and a half... All the time i spend there is Waiting....When the Dr finally sees you checks the babys heartbeat, measures your belly, (doesnt tell you either the heart rate or measurment) And your out... You have no time to ask questions concerning your pregnancy and or baby because they are in such a hurry to catch up for the day... since they are always so behind... I would love to switch Drs, but its too late now i am due in a couple of weeks. Pros: Delivers at Wake Med Cary Cons: Could care less about the health of you and your baby more

After visiting many offices in the area (inc. Triangle OBGYN), I finally found a place I felt at ease. The wait time for a new patient appointment was only 2 weeks (very reasonable in comparison to over a month for some places), and I only spent about 10-15 minutes in the waiting room. They are in a newer building so everything is done up nicely, and front desk and nursing staff were very friendly! Dr. Rogers met with me for an interview about my health history (and future plans for more children) first, then did my exam. He was thorough but had a casual sense of humor at the same time, making me feel more relaxed. Definitely a change from where I've gone before! I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a new OBGYN in this area. I really felt like I was a patient and not a number in this office, and I look forward to working with both doctors when we are ready for our second baby. Pros: great staff, knowledgable and caring doctors, easy to get to, no long waits Cons: none so far! more

I am a patient of Dr.Brannon. Dr.Rogers delivered my first child. I was induced due to pre-eclampsia. My son did not tolerate high rates of pitocin. I was delivered by c section and then was started on mag sulfate (so my son never had to suffer the consequences of my being on mag). My only issue is that he kept having the nurse increase the pitocin because I wasn't making a ""labor face"". Had I not worked the night before, I would have gotten a wee bit verbal with him. \r Second pregnancy delivered by repeat section by Dr.Brannon. When I was spotting at 10 weeks, the nurse said it was not an issue. I got a call back within minutes saying that Dr.Brannon wanted me to come in for a quick ultrasound just to make sure because he didn't want me to worry.\r Both time both docs inquired about how I was coping post-partum. Sure, wait times can be long, but you can't stop babies from coming when they do. If you advocate for yourself and ask questions you will definitely get the attention you are looking for.\r As a NICU nurse, I definitely recommend this practice. Pros: great staff, highly skilled Cons: busy practice more

I was with them for quite a while during my first pregnancy. I finally wised up at 35 weeks! Dr. Brannon was my primary doctor and it was nearly impossible to meet Dr. Rogers because of the hours that they keep. I saw Rogers once and that was a fluke because Brannon canceled his appointments that day and I showed up anyway-- I didn't get the voice mail. I unexpectedly saw Dr. Zilavy early in my pregnancy when I had an appointment with Brannon. They are awful about canceling appointments at the last minute.. also some days (too many for my taste) they are only open from 9am until noon. Some days they close at noon with less than 24 hours notice to their patients who have afternoon appointments. The 2 doctors are rarely if ever there at the same time. They will also call you less than 24 hours before an appointment to try to get you to reschedule at a more convenient time for them. All have happened to me!\r \r Since I have almost no experience with Rogers, I will stick with Brannon while I discuss the issues. My smallest issue is with his dress. A crumpled t-shirt and shorts does not scream ""professional""! This is typical dress for him. Now on to bigger issues... \r \r He does not let you finish a question before trying to answer it. He won't let you get past 41weeks without inducing -even though 41-42 weeks is not considered overdue for a first baby according to ABOG. He is very rushed and makes you feel as if you are wasting his time with silly questions about your care. He does not like information that you have gained from reading. He does not feel the baby at all during the late week appointments... it's on your back, measure the belly, hear the heart and up. He uses fear of having a large baby to get you to agree to interventions that you may not need. He has one of the highest induction and c-section rates in the triangle area. He is impatient and disorganized and may forget that you are in a room waiting for him.\r \r That is all I will say now. Pros: None that I can think of Cons: Disorganized, impatient, appointments not honored, VERY interventive!! more

Dr. Brannon is WONDERFUL!! When I was having lots of trouble finding a doctor while I was having a miscarriage at 6wks, Dr. Brannon's office got me an appt the same day and welcomed me to their practice. Dr. Brannon was so kind and sincere. He was the first doctor that has talked to me like real person (with actual feeling and questions) since all of this started. His compassionate service today will make me a patient forever and one who will always recommend his services. Couldn't find a nicer doc!! more

Dr. Brannon delivered both of my kids. With my first I had a birth plan and everything. Dr. Brannon talked to me about it. Honestly Dr. Brannon was right, I ended up having to have an epiderul because I could not really relax and let the baby come. With my second a friend gave me hypnobirthing CD's which were a life saver. I was very skeptical, but just listened to one of the cd's every night for 30 minutes in the last 6 weeks before the birth. When I got to the hospital, it turns out my bp skyrocketed, but because I was listening to the hypo-birthing cd's, the baby came very quickly (in an hour after checking into the hospital). I didn't have to have a C-section with either child. I totally trust Dr. Brannon and am grateful he delivered my 2 kids. I will agree there have been times where I went for an appointment, and he was delivering another baby or something, and I had to wait too long. For the competency of Dr. Brannon, he's great. I also had severe post partum depression with my first child. Dr. Brannon recommended that I go on the anti-depressant a few weeks before my second child was born. This was also wonderful because I was able to enjoy the second birth so much more. more

I would advise any pregnant woman to find another practice. Both men have zero bedside manners and discourage you from participating in your own care. Examples: I asked Dr. Rogers if stretching was the best way to avoid a tear (I tore with my first child), he said that stretching would not prevent a tear and I would end up with up floppy down there and would need surgery to correct it. When I said that I was told to do stretching at the birthing class I took at WakeMed, he said that the nurse who taught that class has probably never even assisted in an actual delivery and that both those classes and the internet do nothing but ""perpetuate ignorance."" Wow, so much for trying to understand what's going on with your pregnancy! So I thought that at least Dr. Brannon was good, but my 38 week appointment today changed my view. The nurse takes me back to a room, tells me to undress from the waist down, that he's going to check my cervix. An hour later and still no doctor, so I get dressed and go back to ask where the doctor is. Turns out he just skipped my room. So I go back to my room, get undressed again, and when he does come in, the first thing he says is ""Why are your pants off?"" Not sorry I'm late, sorry I skipped your room, but ""why are your pants off?"" I tell him that the nurse told me to do so, that I'm 38 weeks and she said you would check my cervix. He did, although he said he doesn't normally until 39 weeks. And to make me even more mad, after waiting there for an hour he spent less than two minutes with me, talked like he was on speed, made snide comments about HIPPA, Clinton, and that's the future of socialized medicine ladies and gentlemen. Both of them make me regret asking any questions or saying anything. As a result, I'm going to try to find someone else to deliver my baby, even though I'm so close to my due date. I just can't stomach the idea of either of these arrogant you know whats delivering my baby. Pros: They are doctors Cons: Too many to list more

I will not waste my time seeing them. They have terrible staffs and the doctor just come in for hi and bye, will not spent time for questions, always in a hurry for the next patient. This is a money mill that do not have time for care. \r I will NOT recommend. more

Dr. Rogers is a very competent, approachable doctor with a good bedside manner. Dr. Zilavey is much the same. Dr. Brannon, however, is antagonistic to questions and relevant medical information that counter induction and c-sections. I left this practice after my first child was induced and had to be delivered via c-section. The nurses at the hospital told me that Dr. Brannon had the highest c-section rate of any doctor there!! I wish I had known this info before. Please ask any ob/gyn you are interested in their views on induction and their c-section rate as a good practice. Honestly, if Dr. Rogers had his own practice, I would go there instead. Pros: office staff, 2 of 3 doctors Cons: high c-section rate more

dr. brannon and rogers are the best ever.dr. brannon delivered my last 2 kids and he was the best. he helped me get though it without any problems. i don't think that i could ever go to any other drs. they have great family atmosphere,the staff always makes you feel at home.i can bring my kids to my appointments if need to and they are always welcome Pros: waiting room,lots of space Cons: non more

I've known Dr. Brannon since 2002 . I was blessed to have had him as my doctor. I suffered 2 miscarriages with him and he was very compassionate. He delivered my 4th and final baby girl. Anytime I needed him he was always right there for me. He ' s sincere in the way he talks with you and he's got a fun great sense of humor about him that I love. He knows his stuff as well ,I totally trusted him. Dr. Rodgers is excellant too. He was very courteous towards me. And finally Dr Zillavey . Very professional sincere doctor. \r \r I would highly recommend all 3 doctors. \r The practice was like a family to me. The nurses are great . They always returned my messages in a timely matter. Unfortunately, My family and I moved to San Diego. I will miss everyone. Pros: compassinate caring and very smart doc. more

Drs Brannon and Rogers are fantastic! I've been seeing Dr Brannon for over 10 years and love him. He makes those girlie doc appointments go quickly because of his talkative bedside manner, but he doesn't miss a thing! Both doctors were great during my pregnancies and Dr Brannon delivered both of my children. Both doctors each have children and are very family oriented. I continually recommend them! Pros: Great doctors!! more

Dr. Rogers is an angel in disguise. Not only is he an excellent doctor with incredible expertise in his field but he is a kind and caring physician. As a first time mother with a difficult pregnancy he made the entire experience enjoyable. He has delivered every baby in our family. Two were a challenge and would not be here without him. The waiting room times can be long but he is well worth the wait! I am a huge advocate of this practice....his staff is a pleasant added bonus! more

I am a huge fan of this physician. Despite the very busy practice, he always gives me the time and attention that I need. There have been several times where I called and needed to be seen the same day, the staff fit me into his schedule. He not only provides medical advice...he also gives advice from a Christian perspective. He always gives credit to the Lord. I would highly recommend Dr. Brannon. Pros: Christian, Kind more
