At Patch, we don’t take shortcuts. That’s why we hire professional
editors and contributors in each of our towns and personally visit
every business in our Directory at least once a year.
Despite our best efforts, sometimes a personal visit is not possible
— a business might be run out of a home or the owner may be too busy.
In this case, we list the business on Patch with as much information as
we have. And because we believe in full disclosure, we include our
verification disclaimer.
We are always looking for feedback on our listings and the verification
process, so if you see incorrect information or have an opinion, please
send us your thoughts. If you are the owner or manager of a business or
organization, you can claim a listing and help determine what
information is displayed on Patch.
I was extremely disappointed and upset with the poor medical treatment I received at this facility. I was 15 weeks pregnant and starting cramping with extreme pain. I went into the office for an emergency visit; I was seen promptly. However, once I was medically observed by Dr. McDermott she stated that there was a high probability that my body aborted the fetus; that I would have to go get blood work to confirm fetus status. I asked if something could be prescribed for the pain because it was becoming unbearable and what to expect over the course of the next few days. She said to go home and take a hot shower; they would call with the results. I called repeatedly for 3 days with no answer; I was in so much pain and now I was bleeding heavily (it was scary the things that were coming out of me). I had a prenatal appointment prior to this incident that was scheduled two days later and figured I would still keep the appointment to seek aftercare advice and treatment. I showed up to the office and they CANCELED my appointment without my knowledge (because they assumed since I lost the baby I would not be attending my appointment). I was so emotionally upset and confused and still in so much pain ... I wanted answers and the receptionist said "sorry" but your appointment was canceled. POOR medical care and the emotional neglect of someone who lost her child is inexcusable!!!! I still have not received a call from the office regarding my blood work
