Valdosta Women's Health Center: Charlene Blache, MD

I don't know what is wrong with all of these people but from the moment I walked through the door I've had nothing but problems coming from them. My first pregnancy has been horrible because each time I am scheduled for a visit they never take me in on time, though you're supposed to be in there to pee in a cup get your blood pressure taken and weight taken within twenty minutes, I'm there for more than 45 minutes AFTER my scheduled appointment. Anytime I'm having an emergency there is no one to answer the phone and if I needed an emergency visit they made me wait two hours both times!! I went to their emergency room at Smith Northview ONCE and was midhandled by the doctors and nurses were curt and unfriendly. In the waiting rooms at the ER I was told by a doctor that "there was nothing he could do to prevent a miscarriage", he sounded as if he was judging me and assuming it was my fault! This is my first pregnancy and I was three months along! \r Not to mention the two sarcastic, uninf more

What is most unique about the VWHC is that all of the staff members are female. I like this since I feel that this makes them more understanding of the health problems women encounter. The wait time here is usually not too bad--I have rarely had to wait longer than an hour, and usually have to wait less than 30 minutes. Dr. Courson and Dr. Wynn are both mothers, and they are kind and caring to their patients. more
