I had some big problems with Chouchani. He is ONLY good if you
1. Do not mind religious nurses who do not understand how contraception works, and emergency contraception in particular 2. Have little to no problems, and only go in for yearly checkups or the occasional infection. 3. If you get pregnant, you are a mind reader, or can decide all your options without his input, as he refuses to give any opinions, to the point of not even giving you what options you have... and expecting informed decisions by you from the information given on one page pamphlets. I'm not even talking about abortion here, I'm talking about testing options for the fetus. 4. Do not mind being lied to. Or in the alternative, do not mind being given false information because he doesn't know any better. 5. Don't care if someone listens to your problems in a considerate and thoughtful manner 6. Enjoy being told what to do in a superior and final manner.. even up to a quote on the wall telling you to do what the doctor says and not question him.
I switched, quite late in my pregnancy, to Doctor Stephen Mechtler, and I have not been happier. The atmosphere is accepting and open, and the nursing staff is intelligent and supportive. He is the only doctor, so it takes a while to see HIM, but otherwise it is good. I'm sad I didn't have him from the beginning.
I had some real concerns during my pregnancy (which is not over yet), but Chouchani was unable to answer any of them. I had some serious risk issues early in when I didn't know I was pregnant, and instead of looking up the answer, he gave me a phone number to call to get them myself. He's uncommunicative, and when I press him on things, he blames all his communication faults on me. Not. Good.
Chouchani was not good. I liked his associates better, but only for GYN care, and not if you want questions answered. I would not use any of them for OB care, unless you enjoy archaic methods. (Nice to be told while IN labor at the hospital that your doctor is the only in the area that still REQUIRES a shave and an enema. No thanks!)
Holy crap!!! I am glad I moved!!!! I would have told that man in no uncertain terms that I was not getting a shave and an enema, and he could shove it. Glad I didn't have to have that conflict.
