Re: annoyed and upset
 That is not uncommon not to be able to tell at the ultrasound. If you don't like you Dr. then you should look to switch. I don't know anything about H.I.P. though. Just wanted to send some

Re: annoyed and upset
I go to Suffolk OBGYN and so far the 2 girls I saw for sono's were great. I wish I had their names to refer you. I hope I don't get the nasty one next time for my Level II. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Re: annoyed and upset
I go to Suffolk Obgyn in Port Jeff and I've met 2 different techs for the sonos. Both were very nice. I wouldn't switch practices just because of that one person, most likely you will not even see them again. The best thing you can do, is call up and say something about her bedside manner and put it in your record not to see that tech ever again.

Really? I've liked all the doctors i've seen so far. They don't really do much, just come in and talk to you quickly. I've seen Richter, Lee and Patraco so far. All three were very nice.
You have to see all of them, bc you don't know who will be on call when you go into labor. It's so you feel comfortable with all of them.
I really don't care who is the doctor on call at this point, they are not in there for that long anyway, the nurses do most of the work during labor. That will be the least of my worries.

Hang in there..I had to switch doctors at 32 weeks. The doctors that I switched too were through a recommendation from a LIF member. They were great....Not HIP though.

Re: annoyed and upset
Our baby wouldn't cooperate at our 20 week sonogram either. So much so that they couldn't even get all the measurements they needed for the full anatomical scan. My doctor's office sent me to another place to get a sono and even then the baby was being extremely diffucult. The tech made me get up and walk around and empty my bladder. In the end she wasn't able to get all the measurements either, but we were able to find out the gender. We were so disappointed the 1st time when we couldn't find out.
If you are not comfortable with the practice or the doctors then I would switch. I do not have HIP so I can't help you with that.

Re: annoyed and upset
I used HIP years ago in Brooklyn (not for pregnancy though), and I really would not recommend switching to HIP at all, based upon my experience.
I almost always had at least an hour wait before I saw the doctor, often longer, at the time if you needed to see a specialist it was a real hassle to set up the appointment. You couldn't just do it yourself--someone called you after you trotted across town with the referral slip. The final straw for me was when I went to see the doctor for an ear infection (I'm prone to them and I'm pretty good at diagnosing myself), and he said nothing was wrong with my ear at all. This as pus is draining out of it! After that I left, and went to a different doctor who said my ear was absolutely infected. After that I switched to GHI.
Maybe they have improved, but I had pretty bad experiences just getting them to treat normal, day-to-day issues. I wouldn't want to go to them pregnant.

Re: annoyed and upset
I go to the PJ office Suffolk OBGYN. I like them- but I did get a little 'tude from our last sono tech- she was an older lady with a CRAZY poofy hair thing happening. I served her right back. She yelled at me for not having a full bladder, then said "That tells me you don't drink enough water", but with this snarky attitude- I wa slike- ummm NO- I drink tons of water, and you are seeing me 30 minutes early- thats why my bladder isn't full.
Served.
But the first sono tech was GREAT. She was younger- and brunette.
There is a beeyotch at the billing desk that I would like to punch in the face though.
So far, Dr. Richter is my fave.

Re: annoyed and upset
I would not switch doctors because of a sono tech unless there was a huge issue. Finding out the sex is just icing on the cake and to them it is not as important as the information they need to look for when performing these sonograms. I would steer clear of anything related to HIP. I have had too many clients who had problems dealing with HIP.

Re: annoyed and upset
I go to the Patchogue office and have had 4 different sono techs. Out of the 4 of them, there was one that I didn't care for, esp. bc it was at the beginning of my pregnancy and I was bleeding and she just wasn't warm. The other 3 have been AMAZING! They are great, make you feel so comfortable and are very warm and caring.

Do not switch to a HIP group if you don't have to. I used to work in med mal law and they are a nightmare.
I am sorry the baby didn't cooperate, my sono tech at both my level II and my growth sono were royal biatches and hurt my belly too
