If I could give her 0 stars I would. Has horrible bed side maners and the whole visit was horrific

I had my son while in my nursing program. In my classes I was studying OB and I was high anxiety about the birth of my first child. I wrote out a 16 page birth plan! Now as a nurse I would have a lot more faith in the medical staff. I would probably laugh a little at my small book. Instead of acting too busy or laughing at my plan MD Duncan took time to listen to me. However silly she may have found my insecurities to be… she kept her own thoughts to herself and respected each of my wishes to the best of her abilities. I was shocked at how good the nursing care was at Fairchild, and I was really pleased with the bedside manner of my doctor.

Her nurse also kept dropping the blood pressure cuffs on the floor, sanitizing them with one ungloved hand and one gloved hand and placing them on my arm afterwards. Then, I noticed she was less than a centimeter away from all of the surgical implements that were to be used on me .To say that I was dissatisfied is an understatement...
