I was a patient at Advantia OB-GYN Shady Grove throughout my pregnancy and delivered my baby this…read morepast July. Unfortunately, my experience at this clinic was consistently negative and created unnecessary stress during what should have been an exciting time. During my second appointment which was on a Friday at 3 p.m., I waited almost 50 minutes to see the doctor, who only spent a few minutes with me. When I went to get my blood drawn afterward, the lab technician told me they were closed -- even though it was only 3:55 p.m. and their hours are until 4 p.m. After I insisted that I needed the bloodwork done, she reluctantly agreed but was very rude about it. At my next appointment, which was also on a Friday at 3 p.m., I needed bloodwork again. This time, I told the tech taking my vitals if I could have my blood drawn before seeing the doctor. She assured me it would be fine to do it after. Once my appointment ended around 3:55 p.m., I went to the lab, where the same technician and her colleague refused to take my blood and said I could go to the hospital tomorrow to get it done. My husband had to step in and remind them that we both took off work for this appointment before they finally agreed to do it. Around my 25th week appointment, I mentioned to the covering doctor that I was experiencing pelvic pain and difficulty walking. Her response was, "It's only going to get worse, that's pregnancy." When I brought up that I had read about physical therapy, massage, or acupuncture helping, she agreed those were options but told me to "Google it" when I asked for recommendations. The lack of support and empathy was disappointing. Later in my pregnancy, the practice announced they were moving deliveries from Shady Grove to Holy Cross Silver Spring. I looked up reviews for the Silver Spring hospital and also discussed it with my doula, who shared that she had really negative experiences there. I reached out to the clinic to ask if I could deliver at Holy Cross Germantown instead and was told that was acceptable so I registered at Germantown. At my next appointment, I mentioned in passing to Dr. Prosper that I was registered at Germantown. She responded abruptly and told me I was "not allowed" to deliver there. When I explained my reasoning and mentioned that I had already paid for my doula, she was dismissive and unkind. That conversation was the final straw for me. I had already been uncomfortable with the practice but had to stay because I was so far along and couldn't find another provider. I went on to deliver at Holy Cross Germantown, where I had a wonderful experience with my doula and the hospital staff. Unfortunately, I experienced postpartum complications and scheduled a follow-up with Dr. Prosper. During that appointment, she told me she "couldn't help" and reminded me that I "chose to deliver somewhere else,". I ended up going to the ER for help. About a week later, I received a call saying that Dr. Prosper had canceled my 6-week postpartum appointment because I delivered at Germantown. As a new mom still recovering from complications, this was extremely upsetting and unprofessional. I then called the Silver Spring location, where I was met with empathy, professionalism, and understanding. They immediately scheduled me for my 6-week checkup and assured me that what happened was unacceptable. They also confirmed that they already had all my medical records, meaning Dr. Prosper's lied when she said she couldn't help me and she had no records of my delivery. I would strongly caution anyone considering the Rockville location to think twice. No patient should have to experience the level of disrespect and lack of care that I did during such an important time.

I have been visiting Maternal-Fetal Medicine Associates of Maryland for about two months now. I am…read morecurrently 37 weeks with gestational diabetes and also had a few other issues with my pregnancy, so I had appointments weekly there. I would like to start off with what I like about this office: front desk staff are friendly, all of my ultrasound techs have been great, and Dr. Hamersley is kind and informative, though she may digress here and there. They also have pretty good appointment availability. They tend to have a longer wait time, especially waiting for the doctor. You usually don't wait long for the ultrasound portion. I am usually there for 1 hour, but once I was there for almost 2 hours. Though this was frustrating, it is not the reason why I refuse to go back there. I've seen Dr. Hamersley, Dr. Shaddeau (covering for Dr. Hamersley), and Dr. Hickey there. I've been working really hard monitoring my blood sugar, exercising regularly, and eating well and have done a great job thus far. It is by no means easy and is frustrating at times. This last visit, I had another great ultrasound and met with Dr. Hickey afterwards. A few of my fasting blood sugar numbers were high. They should be under 90 and they were between 90 and 94. I immediately felt like a child being scolded in a principal's office. She asked me what I was doing differently and if I was still on my low dosage of medication. I said everything has been the same. Then she started asking if I work out and I said yes, usually after work before dinner. Being 37 weeks and pregnant and working out regularly is not easy, but I'm still doing it. She asked why I would do it before dinner and not after and how that wouldn't help me. She said I should workout after dinner and I asked for how long. She said I just answered that question, for 10 minutes. She continued to speak very rudely to me while closely examining my blood sugar log. She had zero empathy and respect. At first, she didn't even offer any solutions but just continued to critique my entire routine after work asking what time I go to bed and what time I was asleep at and what time I ate dinner. I told her the time I ate dinner usually and she asked why I was checking my blood sugar so late. Before I could even explain that my schedule is not the same every day, she was scolding me for something else. I checked my sugar that late one day because I worked out and had a late reservation at a restaurant to celebrate my anniversary. I wanted to make sure I got a workout in before going out to eat. She treated me like I was a child lying to her. Another doctor told me that as I got closer to the end of my pregnancy that my fasting numbers would get higher for no particular reason, but not to get upset because it's normal. I couldn't even tell her this because she was not listening to anything I was saying. I've never felt so looked down upon and disrespected at a doctor's office before. I read another review stating that if you see Dr. Hickey, you'll end up having a panic attack. That is exactly what happened the moment I got into my car. Complete panic attack. My husband had to come get me and I demanded him to go up to the office and cancel all of my appointments (he didn't even know what happened at this point). There is no reason to ever treat anyone like that. Everyone here is just trying their best. I value my mental health (as everyone should) more than anything else and because of that I will never step foot into that office again.

Clear Symptoms Completely Dismissed: No Diagnosis, No Treatment…read more I saw Dr. Monica Mannan when I was 19 in college for primary amenorrhea -- I had never had a period in my life -- along with insulin resistance, and other classic pcos symptoms. I was worried and didn't know what was wrong, and I paid privately because insurance would not cover the visits. Dr. Mannan ordered extensive testing, including large blood panels (around 10 vials in one draw), urine tests, screening for Cushing's, a pelvic ultrasound, and more. After all of that, she told me my hormones were "normal," said she didn't know what was wrong, and suggested the NIH. No clear referral was provided, no diagnosis was made, and no treatment options were offered. For a young patient with obvious symptoms, the lack of follow-through or basic clinical care was shocking. A few years later an OB-GYN diagnosed PCOS almost immediately and started treatment that finally initiated my first menstrual cycle. That was medically important because going many years without menstruation increases endometrial cancer risk, something that was never addressed during my care with Dr. Mannan. I am now older and still upset about this experience and the lack of PCOS awareness from an endocrinologist. I lost years dealing with symptoms that should have been treated much earlier. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this doctor.
