I wish I could give this place less than one star,...

I wish I could give this place less than one star, honestly. My first pregnancy in 2011 with my son was through the midwives, being my 1st pregnancy I didn't know what to expect. My mother started to come with me towards the end of my pregnancy (she has had 5 children and thought she had seen it all). First off I had a very very healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. My mother became increasingly alarmed by the behavior of the midwives the more she came with me. Let me be clear I only dealt with 2 truly horrible midwives. One of which informed me if I hit 42 weeks pregnant I would have to sign a "Dead baby letter!". Needless to say I was horrified, as was my mom. We opted for my being induced that Friday, let's just say that began a 3 day nightmare that nearly killed me and jeopardized my son's life greatly.
Fast forward to present 2016 my husband and I are expecting! I try a few places in Cortland and after issue after issue I decided to try this place again. Thinking I would give the doctors a try and thinking they could only have improved over the last 4 or so years. The staff is hit or miss. The nurses are all pleasant but it can be hit or miss at the reception desk. On several occasions it was very plain to see private conversations amongst themselves were the priority. I could deal with this, I am always friendly as a rule. I try not to let the behavior of others dictate my behavior. Then there are the doctors. By far the worst physician I have ever seen is Dr.Gelber (I believe this is the correct spelling of his name) Avoid him like spilled salt, a broken mirror or walking under a ladder! Farm animals have been given more compassionate thorough care/examinations. Dr.Milner is wonderful, thorough, pleasant and genuinely seems to care about her patients. I would also recommend Dr.Silva, he also seems to be a genuine physician that cares for his patients.
Just be wise, GO SOMEWHERE/ANY WHERE ELSE or be prepared to be very diligent! I have always been understanding if a doctor is what may seem condescending because I understand it must me exhausting explaining things to people like me day in and day out.
