I recently had a baby. I was two weeks past my due date, and stuck at 1 cm dilated most of that time, when my doctor, Kris Citty, had me come in for overnight medication to help me dilate. Three hours later, contractions intense and 1 minute apart, I was given my requested epidural. Fine and dandy afterwards. Except that they waited for the epidural to just about knock me out before coming in to go over paperwork with me. I was currently separated from my husband and he was not the father of my child, so there was quite a bit to sort out; it was confusing enough with a clear head, let alone under anesthesia. At around ten the next morning, I was at a full 10, ready to push, when I was finally told by the sole nurse in attendance that they don't call the doctor until they can see the head. That information would have been better known sooner so I could've braced for it. My baby was in a slight diagonal position so she wouldn't come out without some help, but instead of trying to maneuver her into position first, they decide to go straight into Cesarean, something my doctor and I had discussed that we both wanted to avoid. He had reassured me that they would do everything they could before having to cut me open, and that did not happen. Afterwards, when they removed the epidural, I had to cough and wasn't warned to brace myself. My C section hurt almost as bad as contractions when I sneezed, coughed, or even laughed, and was only told after the fact, "Yeah, when you cough, you need to sit upright and put a pillow under your belly." Thanks for that useful information now... And finally, my baby was brought to me to nurse. A couple feedings later, a 'breastfeeding expert' provided by the hospital was sent to me because I was concerned my baby was only feeding from one breast and I asked the lady about a breast pump. She rudely interjects with, "Your baby is all you need to feed." She gave me helpful info, but the way she had talked to me lacked severely in bedside manner. My main issue was in the delayed giving of information. Kris Citty is a good OBGYN, and I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future, but I wish the hospital he worked for would streamline their process and make themselves more patient-oriented rather than a bureaucratic nightmare. Oh, and...

I was seeing on doctor and my husband was also. My husband dad passed away this doctor told him to get over it then the doctor wife passed away and he left his patients and moved away and opened another office. So my husband told the one that took his place what he did and he had no response so my husband said you doctors say one thing and do something else. When I was going there a doctor gave me a pill it made me twitch. When I went back he said why did they give you that no you did now fix it but he couldn't. Same as the doctors in dr Davison office. I didn't feel good for a long time . Had test run and all he would say is your vitamins D is low everytime. I want to little rock and took some test they came in and said I. Have daily headache and migraines that I would have to see my regular doctor when I told them he wouldn't. So I went back and he said nothing about any test or results. I got my records then it turned into what the hell. 7 test came back red flagged and one said if patient takes anymore Tylenol he could go into a coma. And I was 25 percent black. And I have double DNA that makes it own antibodies. I told my insurance company witch called and ask him he said he got the best care possible. Is that why I had to spend 42 days in the hospital for the surgeon cutting my intestines in three places and my liver. Gave me 2 percent chance to come off the table a live. I went to Dr Davidson 3 times and the unit health hospital 3 times the surgeon said he didn't have time and that when a lady from the front office came and ask me why I keep coming back. I told her because the doctors won't do they job. He said you look like your doing better. Yes you gave me a pain shoot then it was right back. So between the unity health hospital and doctor Davidson not do right by there patient it cost me not them. Then doctor Davidson put something in my records I can't see. I found that he put i wason drugs. He never done a drug test on me and yes I smoke pot because there's no doctors that will treat pain because the doctors lie on patients charts. That's why they don't let you see them. The doctor that wouldn't listen when I came out of surgery causing me to almost die. I will never go to unity health...
