ANOTHER UPDATE:
Just had my March appointment on the 12th. I have to say I've had fantastic service -every- single time so far. They even let my 5 and 3 year old look into the microscope and see what a 'cold' looks like on the inside of the cheek. They also let my kids come into the back room where they draw blood and watch! When they couldn't find the heart beat of my baby at 13 weeks they sent me in for an ultrasound right away which made me smile. I was happy to see my baby was healthy. They give my kids stickers every time and I just really enjoy my appointments.
But here's the kicker. At my 17 week appointment on the 12th they said I could schedule my anatomy ultrasound now. I asked if I could get in on the 30th because that was Hubby's day off,and the day his parents just happened to be visiting from Washington State. I'm going to give the U/S a HUGE thank you for sneaking me in cause I know they are busy but they cared enough to help with making this a family event :).
Anyway, still haven't a clue why everyone else is so upset : /

UPDATE:
They were WONDERFUL! I was sort of dreading the appointment, but everything was great!
I arrived 15 minutes early. They mailed me my paperwork which i had all filled out when I arrived. Probably sat there for maybe ten minutes before I was called back for my Ultrasound. The nurses and doctors smiled and played with my kids. Made them balloon gloves, gave them stickers.
It was a great experience and I can't wait for my next appointment next month!
I seriously have no idea (Other than the Nurse on the phone that was short with me) why anyone wouldn't love this clinic.
---------------------
My first experience with them so far was just scheduling an appointment and having the nurse call me back.
The Nurse was short with me. I'm generally a very tough cookie, but she actually managed to make me feel so stupid for calling about bleeding, cramping, and pain that I actually got teary eyed and had to call my hubby.
Who knows. Maybe she was right and the bleeding is nothing (Worried about Ectopic here) but I felt like there was a lack of care in her tone and information provided. Although she -did- seem confident that I was just being 'whiny'...so we'll see.
Needless to say...I will be watching them -very- carefully when I walk into the clinic this week. I'll let you guys know how the appointment goes.
