Recently, my daughter gave birth to my gorgeous grandson. While the birth of her child should have…read morebeen a positive and empowering experience, it was deeply overshadowed by the conduct of Dr. Siegel from Oceanside OB, who attended the delivery at Shore Medical Center. From the outset--and throughout her prenatal care--Dr. Siegel was rude, dismissive, and condescending. On multiple occasions, my daughter left her prenatal appointments visibly upset and would call me crying due to his inappropriate remarks and dismissive attitude toward her questions, concerns, and preferences. Her hope was that he would not be the delivering provider. This pattern of behavior continued into her labor and delivery. My daughter went into labor spontaneously, yet the doctor's first interaction with her during labor was to enter the room with an unprofessional attitude and state that she would "never be able to do this naturally." He showed little regard for her wishes or birth plan, particularly her desire for an unmedicated, natural labor--an experience she had successfully achieved with her first child. The only reason my daughter chose Oceanside OB and Shore Medical Center was due to proximity to her new home, as it was closer than the birthing center where she delivered her first child. At one point during labor, my daughter expressed that being there felt "like being in prison," which was heartbreaking to hear. As a registered nurse with nearly 20 years of experience--much of it in labor and delivery--I was profoundly disturbed by Dr. Siegel's behavior. What further compounded this negative experience was the conduct of the assigned nurse, Meaghan, who was also rude and unprofessional. She failed to provide compassionate care and made no effort to advocate for my daughter during labor. This experience fell far short of the standard of care that any patient, particularly a laboring mother, deserves. I am grateful that I was there along with my daughter's significant other, who supported her every step of the way, leading to her goal of a beautiful natural labor and delivery.

I went for my annual exam and had what I thought was some kind of infection. The doc prescribed…read moremedication and also ordered lab tests. The tests came back negative, which I found out about through my Quest portal, not through the doc's office, and the office never called me to follow up on what the infection might be. I let it go. After 2 weeks I was still experiencing problems so I went back, had another sample taken, and was sent home with medication. Once again I got notified by Quest that my results were negative, and once again, the doc's office never called me to further investigate. When I called the office, they said I'd have to come in for a third time. This is very poor practice in my opinion, and I will not go back. I want a doctor who's more responsive.

You will not be seeen by a doctor, you will be seen only by wanna be doctors. The doctor hires young girls in their 20's and charges you as if you were seen by an MD but you weren't!. All the staff are rude and ask questions like "What is your s*xual orientation?" I said, "I'm married." The answer was "Well, if you were to have s*x with someone else, which gender would you choose?" Horrible! The receptionist called me and said I have to be back in 6 weeks. I said I'll call back later. Katelyn(the one with the Glamour photo on the website - Hah!) then called me all angry screaming, "You must come back every 6 weeks. It's not safe." I don't expect anyone to raise their voice with me. I'll find a real MD who sees patients. Goodbye.

Had to complete new patient paperwork with call preferences to my cell phone. Saw the dr, was told that I had no copay (even though I know full well I have a $50 copay). Was told meds were called to the pharmacy. It took 6 phone calls, 2 days and 3 trips to the pharmacy to get the 2 meds I was supposed to get in the first place. Oh, and the office left a voicemail on my home number when I specifically asked for a call to my cell. A voicemail that was heard by 3 people. Violate my privacy much?? They push using their "secure patient portal" but can't follow simple instructions on making a phone call to the right number? Then today.. I got to speak with Karen, the most rude office manager I've ever had the displeasure to speak with. Her tone is nasty, her disposition is nasty. I also recently got a bill in the mail for $50 from my 2/25 appointment (where the front desk told me there was no copay, and acknowledged my annual visit scheduled for a week or 2 from that date). Karen insulted my intelligence by telling me in a rude manner that I should be aware that I have a copay. (Hello?! I am well aware and told your office person that, but she insisted that I didn't.) I'll be making $5 monthly payments on that $50 bill I got in the mail. Just for fun. Don't go to this office. Their staff is grossly incompetent and it's honestly a joke how awful their office manager is. You've been warned!!
