If you want a doctor that pretends everything is great and perfect, then afterwards blames all potential risks and problems on you, then choose Dr. Lewis. Dr. Michelle Lewis's basic communication is very poor. She was my doctor for 3 years, but after my recent experience under her care with my first pregnancy, it became very evident how poor the communication really is. She is very, very nice lady. Always ""buttering"" you up by saying ""sweetie,"" ""You look great!"", etc. My prenatal appointments were very easy, quick, right to the point. I liked that. I always came out feeling like a million bucks. It wasn't until a follow-up appointment after the successful delivery of my baby that I lost all trust in Dr. Lewis. She told me she knew I was having a large baby and I should have not refused induction. The truth is (with my husband as my witness at our final prenatal appointments prior to delivery), there was NO talk of large baby. Not only that, but I SPECIFICALLY asked Dr. Lewis at 39 weeks if there was ANY reason I needed to induce this baby. She simply said, ""No."" , and recommended that we think about induction if we were to reach 41 weeks. The fact is: My husband and I NEVER refused induction. We electively induced at 40 weeks 4 days, and induction that we set up on our own by calling Dr . Lewis's office the day before the induction. When I confronted Dr. Lewis and told her she NEVER communicated to me that she thought my baby was large, she answered, ""Honey I could tell by just looking at you."" It would have been nice if she would have communicated all of the information that she claimed to have known BEFORE the delivery. Instead, she gave it to me after the delivery in a bery ""back-handed ""way. Although no harm was done in the end, serious complications and harm could have occured by her not communicating things to me.
