am writing in review of the Newport News office....I was referred to this office by a family member and I wish I had shopped around before making the decision to see any doctor at this practice. First, when I had Pap testing done with abnormal results, it was suggested that I had a colpo done. So they did that, which came back okay but they IMMEDIATELY suggested that I have a LEEP procedure done after I explained to them that ive been through this before and as long as there wasnt any change, I wasnt planning on having anything of that nature done. They received my records from my doctor out of state which showed that there was NO progression of this issue that I was having and how my past doctor monitored me for 3 years. FYI: These conditions does have the ability to revert back to normal. So, over the past year, I felt like the nurses were hounding me to have this procedure and time after time I refused. My husband and I decided to have another baby this year, which we are pregnant now, so that was another main reason I refused to have my cervix scraped away. \r

This year, Nov 2011 returned to the office for an annual visit and guess what?? The pap came back NORMAL, which I figured it would. Instead of monitoring me, this office wanted to perform a procedure that would affect me heavily in the future. So yes, it does seem as if they are really pushy when it comes for an opportunity to make money and I have made the decision to choose another doctor for the care of my pregnancy. Ive also had issues of being charged for services that were not rendered on two occasions! The only trip I will be making back to the Center for Women's Health will be to pick up my medical records so I can get my prenatal care started in another doctors' office.\r
