I have so many issues with this facility and it s doctors I don t even know where to begin.
Doctor Barton is NEVER on time to his appointments. You d think after a while you d change your scheduling so you aren t an hour or more behind all the time.
He scared me into being induced with my first baby because he was going out of town. He didn t care to tell me until 2 days before my due date he was going on vacation. He lied about my blood pressure to the Labor and Delivery unit so they had a reason to induce me early.
His bedside manner is lacking. He says everything that comes into his head, which should be a good thing, but isn t.
I was pregnant with my second child, unsure how far along I was, and wanted an ultrasound. I called to schedule an appointment, and the nurse told me I couldn t get an ultrasound until I was at least 12 weeks. Her listening skills were off because I had just told her I didn t know how far along I was. I let them know if they wouldn t do the ultrasound id take my business elsewhere. They got me in that day, and couldn t find anything. I was told it was too early to see anything. I scheduled an ultrasound elsewhere and was 10 weeks pregnant. Saw my little bean no problem. I lost my confidence in Dr. Barton as my OB.
I have used the walk-in urgent care on a few occasions, and always regret it. I love Doctor Chamberlain as a person, but Doctors need to be careful how they present information. I had just had my first baby two weeks before and was struggling with a lot of things. He gave me advice, which was his personal opinion, that was presented as medical knowledge. Thankfully I sought out other help because I didn t feel right about what he was telling me. Had I listened to him I would not have been able to continue nursing my first baby.
Jay Lot did the same thing. I have no problem with Doctors sharing personal opinions, but it needs to be presented as such, and not as fact. It would be even better if they could refer patients to someone who is an expert on certain things, like infant sleep, infant nutrition, and breastfeeding.
You would have thought I learned my lesson, but the other day I had an issue and needed to see a Doctor. I had already decided I didn t want to see Doctor Barton again, but I hadn t yet found a new one, so I used the walk in clinic, hoping a different doctor was on call. It was Doctor Barton. The board said the wait time would be 30 minutes. I was told by staff that just one person was in front of me, but the wait would be 30-45 minutes. Sounded about right for Doctor Barton. I waited an hour and a half. I talked to him for less than 5 minutes. I had paid $120 as a self pay at the reception desk, and just got billed an additional $75.
