Review of North Austin Maternal Fetal Me...

Avoid like the plague. If you're a first-time mom,...

Avoid like the plague. If you're a first-time mom, they will take advantage of you by way of numerous unnecessary ultrasounds and scares, and then pillage your bank account.

I was so disappointed not being able to continue my prenatal care with Dr. Mollie McDonnald, as she was with child and needed to deliver around the time my husband and I started coming here. We were switched to the care of Dr. Jabir Singh, who used me as practice for nervous ultrasound technicians in training (and on the verge of tears), then - lacking completely in bedside manner - tried to convince my husband and I to continue coming back for more ultrasounds because he thought our baby's weight was being dangerously hindered by IUGR. This nonsensical prognosis affected our attempts to switch to a birthing center, and we were turned down by two local birthing centers merely for ASSOCIATING with NAMFM.

We managed to switch from Lonestar Circle of Care (who referred us to this hell hole in the first place) to Capital OB/GYN, who graciously accepted us at the last minute; they found by their own ultrasound that everything was FINE. Our baby girl was born on 02/09/2016 weighing 8lbs 7oz. So dangerously underweight, right? It's almost like ultrasounds aren't an exact science worth scaring your patients over!

If you want a pregnancy free of stress and condescending quacks, I beg you to go to Capital ObGyn - and do NOT let them schedule your ultrasounds here.
