I came to MacArthur OB/GYN specifically to get a Paraguard IUD.
The Pros:
I picked them because I was nervous about the insertion and really wanted to find a doctor that does many insertions and has a lot of experience with it. Dr Dominique did mine and I feel like she did a great job. Yes it hurt, but it was over quickly - maybe 8 seconds of bad pain 3 times during the 5 minute procedure. I felt like she was a gentle as possible though. They use a sonogram to place the IUD and check it with sono again in a month for proper placement which really reassured me.
The Cons:
A lot of business makes for a very busy office, obviously! Don't expect to make it out in less than 2 hours. Schedule as early in the day as you can to avoid long waits. Expect lots of screaming toddlers. Take snacks and ignore the no food sign if you're prone to getting hangry as staff members walk by with plates of food from some taco party (ha ha). With as busy as they are don't expect a lot of chit chat. Take a list of any questions you have for the doctor. Also be prepared for billing confusion. After my initial well-woman an outside lab billed me for routine diagnostics that weren't covered by my insurance. MacArthur OB/GYN called before the 2nd visit to let me know how much it would cost, but then billed me less when I arrived. At the 3rd visit they had me pay for the sono from the previous visit, saying it had been denied by the insurance. All very confusing, definitely room for improvement. I do realize that some of this could be the fault of my super crappy Molina Marketplace Insurance though.
