Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
I cannot BELIEVE this place....I just got back from there, and was so upset I almost threw up in the car. They told me at my 20 week sono last week that I had to come back in one week bc they said they couldn't see the heart right ....when I get there, the tech says, there were a few things in the brain the couldn't see either. She spent like 20 minutes looking at the brain, so my husband asks if everything is alright. The lady says, the doctor is going to have to tell you the results - I'll be right back. 20 minutes later, she comes back and says ok, you're all done. The doctor says he doesn't need to see you again, he already told you everything LAST WEEK!! I never even saw a doctor last week, the tech just told me the doctor said to come back in a week. I insisted on seeing the doctor, and waited another 30 minutes in the waiting room until I finally left crying. Are they kidding me?? How can they let a pregnant woman have all this anxiety - obviously something isn't right, and me and my husband are the only two that don't know what. I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow morning, but I don't even know if he'll have the sono report by then? I just CANNOT believe the unprofessionalism of this place!

I am so sorry you are going through this, it is sooooo uncalled for! continue to be aggressive to get the answers you need and the attention of the doctors. Im sure everything will be alright Its obvious they have a big miscommunication in their office.

Sorry you had to go through this.
The tech definately handled the situation wrong. My cousin is a ultrasound tech and she told me that even if she notices something wrong during an ultrasound she is NOT legally able to say anything bc she's not a doctor. They basically just take the pictures and then let the doctor interpret.

Re: Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
Oh no, I am SO sorry! That place is horrible! I would go back and demand to speak with a doctor. Also, you need to make sure your doctor had the results from your tests...they may not if you had the tests done at another office.
I'm sorry

That is so unbelieveable!!! I would complain!!! You demand as much as you have to to get answers. Anybody would do the same in that position.

Re: Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
Sorry you had such a bad experience.
Can I ask which one did you go to? I had been to two in my pregnancy and had a different opinion on each - curious if it was the same one.

Re: Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
I can believe that they would do this. I went to them once and did not like the way they treated me. I'm sorry you had to go through that!!!

Re: Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
I go there too, I had the tech also tell me she can not give me any results and the Dr. Had to tell me. It upset me, then the Dr. told me everything was fine. Next time you should stay and insist on talking to the Dr., at least then you would have answers. Actually you should call now and try to get someone on the phone. Good luck!

Re: Madonna Perinetal nightmare!!
it was the one in mineola.... the tech pretty much didn't give me any results, the main thing was she told me the reason why they were repeating it is because there were parts of the brain they haven't been able to see. That was the first I was hearing about that. I was already upset, because I had just found out the day before about the cysts on the babies brain. And when she said, the doctor said he already explained everything to you last week, and I had never even met the man, I just lost it! I see my OB tomorrow morning, so I'll update then....

I can't believe they put you through that! I had a problem with one of their locations, but it wasn't Mineola.

Madonna Perinatal story - w/ Update at bottom
the appt. went fine, there was nothing new to report aside from the cysts on the brain....the sono tech yesterday could have saved me a lot of heartache, but whatever. My doctor wanted me to have an amnio today, and although I always said I wouldn't have one, he talked me into it and I went BACK to Madonna and had it done. This time the techs name was PAM, she was so phenomenal. She finally explained everything to me, showed me what the cysts looked like, showed me a bunch of other things that were normal and really made me feel better. The amnio was stressful, I was very afraid of the sac not resealing, bc I have heard horror stories. It was a little more painful than I thought it would be, but not terrible. Now I am home and exhausted. I should have a preliminary report by monday or tuesday. What a long week!!
