Love Dr. Oday. She is an incredible Dr. caring, educated, and easy to talk to. Love her staff all professional and efficient. Especially love her NP DeDe (Delia) for my well woman checks. All make you feel comfortable and watched over.

My last appointment I felt so rushed and didn't feel I was given the chance to ask any additional questions. I was given a short answer when I asked one question but the entire appointment with the DR was less than 5 minutes and she was standing near the door for most of it, making me feel like an inconvenience. I had called and left a message three weeks ago and the staff returned my call today to make sure it had gotten handled at the appointment and I feel I'm on hold for at least 20 minutes every time I need to leave a message or speak to the nurse. The staff was fine and never had any issues with them but I am thinking about changing providers as I feel my needs are not always addressed completely and my anxiety is never calmed when things arise.

It’s taken me nearly 10 years to write this, partly because I take no joy in writing negative reviews that can harm a person’s reputation, and partly because it took the expertise of other doctors to validate how terribly I was treated during the birth of my first child. But I’m writing this because I hope other women, especially first time moms, will be spared of the maltreatment I experienced. I was so disappointed with my experience, especially because Dr. O’Day’s father delivered me into the world, he is a wonderful man who I greatly admire, and I had such high hopes for my experience with his daughter. During the birthing process, Dr. O’Day abruptly stopped my epidural without any warning. I asked her why I was feeling so much pain, and she said, “our monitors aren’t picking up your contractions, so we need you to feel them.” I later found out when having my subsequent children that stopping an epidural is not protocol in a scenario in which monitors fail. I was really unprepared for giving birth without an epidural because I just figured I would have one, and I was in so much agony and screaming and she literally laughed at some of my screams. Then, because I had tore during birth she was going to give me stiches, but she literally started stiching me up without any anesthetic and without any warning! As I felt the needle going in, I said, “aren’t you going to numb it?!” And she responded, visibly annoyed, “oh, you want something?” As if my request to not feel a needle stiching up my ripped vagina was a huge inconvenience to her. Dr. O’Day delivered my first child so I had no basis of comparison to know what normal was, but I have since had 2 natural childbirths from different doctors and it was a night and day experience- now that I know what a positive and supportive birthing experience is like, it has made me realize how abusive and wrong my first experience was. Again, I do not like writing negative reviews and it was a hard decision to share this, especially because I respect her dad and adore her Nurse Practitioner who is a genuinely caring professional, but I felt my experience was nothing short of abusive. I just hope that she has improved as an empathetic professional over the past decade and has treated other women better than she felt the need to treat me.
