I found out I was pregnant, yeah and decided to call Bayview. A friend of mine had her babies with nurse midwife Lucy Bosley AT A DIFFERENT PRACTICE years ago and loved her.Before my first appointment I had some spotting so I called. They first didn't even want me to come in, or wanted me to wait a week. Having this be my first pregnancy I was trying not to react however I was scared like any mother would be. Glenda the nurse told me to wait 2 HOURS and she would call me back when Lucy came in to see what I should do. 3 HOURS went by and NO CALL. I called her back when GLENDA sternly said to me, I TOLD YOU I WOULD CALL YOU BACK WHEN LUCY GETS HERE. I apologized and kindly reminded her that she said she would call me back in 2 HOURS and that I was just trying to figure out what to do. I finally went in 2 days later...they did not do anything except the ultrasound. They didn't do anything, not even a bloodtest. 3 days later when I started bleeding RED, I went to the emergency room. They took my HCG levels, however I had nothing to compare this with because BAYVIEW did not do anything before. I called them the next day and told them what happened and they told me to go back to the EMERGENCY ROOM and get my levels retaken. I WAS LIKE WHAT??? SHe did not want me to go there obviously. GLenda always took hours to call me back and I only called 3 times in a peroid of 3 weeks. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and they never even asked me any questions like...Are you taking prenatal vitamins? You would think they would have given them to me when I first went in. I have switched doctors now. To be perfectly honest when I was talking to other offices before choosing them they told me to ""STAY AWAY FROM BAYVIEW OBGYN."" Two different offices in the Pinellas county actually said that. I only went with them for Lucy, but no one person is worth that much headache. DO NOT GO HERE.
