I love her, when I have gone to see her but she seems like a busy doctor who doesn't have a lot of time for micromanaging results with patients. I wish I knew of others sorry I can't help you, just wanted to say I'm one of her patients too. I actually really like her.  |
Hi Diablita!
I love Dr.Laredo too, she is so supportive and reassuring, and really seems to know her stuff. I have also never had a Dr. that responds to emails, we often correspond that way and it is great.
My problem is more with the other supports I get through the hospital....we have recently had difficulty getting my ultrasound results from almost 4 weeks ago! Still don't have them! If I weren't getting side effects (cysts) from the Clomid I probably wouldn't care but now that this has happened, if I go back on Clomid after the cysts are gone I will be worried about that happening again. And I could go for ultrasounds at Women's College Hospital, but sometimes you have difficulty getting in there, the ultrasound techs are not particularly nice, and this problem getting results in a timely fashion is concerning. Pre-TTC it wasn't so much an issue.
Dr.Laredo recommends Dr.Greenblatt over at Mount Sinai hospital. Problem is that you wait 6-8 weeks minimum to see her. I looked into another clinic, the CReATe clinic at Bay/College and they seem quite good. May only take 2-3 weeks to get in to see one of their newer Dr's and they have ultrasound and blood labs right on site...open daily. I have heard good things about them.
I guess for me, months are going by and I don't want to waste any more time if I don't have to, especially if there are other factors at play for me in my TTC efforts. But I don't want to lose Dr.Laredo as a Dr.....I am so torn!!!
Am waiting to hear back from her today or tomorrow and will make a decision then I guess.
