Because of my medical history, I was told that it would be difficult and possibly high risk. I am currently pregnant with our first child. When I called the Dr's office to schedule an appointment I was told someone would call me back. I called back the next day and spoke to a receptionist who didn't give her name but said she had been their for 15 years. This woman proceeded to tell me that they will not be able to see me due to the Dr not taking any more New pregnant patients. And then proceeded to try and wrap up the phone call with zero help and information (saying ok.. well.. that's all we have for now.. ok.. interrupting me several times to the point where I had to tell her to let me finish and stop interrupting) After stating that I am an established patient and that they are refusing to see me with no proper due cause, no referral to another physician, no information at all other than "we aren't officially dropping you as a patient but we just cant see you while your pregnant" How DARE YOU! How can you treat someone like that who is equally excited and terrified during her first pregnancy which took almost 3.5 years of actively trying. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Will NEVER go back

Justine was just the kind of person I imagined to support us anticipating our first son's birth. We…read moreinstantly respected her when we first met and then enjoyed every prenatal visit after. She was never rushed but very compassionate and open to our feelings. She was easy-going and extremely encouraging, without making light of any concerns we had. In the middle of the night when I was in labor, I trusted her greatly and absolutely loved my first birth experience, at home in a kiddie pool as I hoped. Her sincere care only got better (if possible) after he was born. So many of the things she told us will stay with us and be gratefully used. I would love to have Justine help us again with many more babies!

Dr. Storrer has delivered my last two babies. She is wonderful. I have been a patient of hers for…read morethe past 10 years. In reading some of the previous reviews mostly negative and from years past I thought in should give mine. One of the things I love is when I was pregnant Dr. Storrer sees her own patients at every visit unlike some other OB's home have their nurse practitioners see their patients. She always addresses every question I have and asked me if there are any concerns or questions. I never feel rushed or unimportant, when I call the office knows me by name and who I am they make it feel like a more personal experience. Iesha has been working the front desk for at least the past 10 years and she is wonderful. During my pregnancy they always addressed any illnesses I had or concerns right away via telephone if need be. I always felt that they had my health in their best interest even when I wanted to work sick , I would strongly encouraged to stay home and rest since that is what my baby and I needed to get well. The delivery went well Dr store really listens to her patients as far as how they feel and what they want for their birthday plans. She is straight and to the point and won't just tell you what you want to hear but give you options at the same time. I had my baby in the early morning hours and she was in a perfectly acceptable mood. I think our physicians are human and have their good and bad days, granted we don't want them to help us on their bad ones. All that really matters is that you're and your baby's health on that special day were addressed and you weren't put in harm's way. I work with physicians and let me just say some of their bedside manners are terrible but that doesn't change the fact that they know what they're talking about and practice medicine well. I personally have never had an issue with Dr Storrer's bedside manner, she is fabulous. I recommend Dr. Storrer because I was treated exceptionally well and I think her office staff is really nice and efficient that was my experience over the last 10 years. During my last visit I asked Dr. Storrer why it seemed there was a bunch of new staff. She kindly explained what had been going on and she did not have to do that she didn't seem annoyed that I asked the question she just seemed happy to answer and gave me an honest answer. There are times where I have had to wait for her, but let's be real people these are physicians and their schedules don't always go as planned.. We just must be patient and hopefully when we need our physicians they will give us the same preferred treatment that they had given others in their time of need. These offices also have a schedule to keep therefore if we are late they are late. I I know this may seem one sided but its how it is in most offices when they only have 10 minute appointment slots and you're 5 minutes late for your 10 minute appointment that can be an issue.

It has been over 11 years and I still feel traumatized by my experience with this doctor. I left…read moreher exam room and her office crying hysterically and no one bothered to call me to follow up or check up on me ever. I was an existing patient and they never checked in with me to see how I was or why I never schedule my follow up appointment. She had delivered my first baby and that had gone some ok but in retrospect I now see that there were issues with that experience that I just didn't realize or understand as a first time pregnancy. This doctor has no empathy and no compassion and offers no support or education for the mother.

I've never written a negative review before, but my experience with Dr. Sungurlu was so upsetting,…read moreI feel obligated to warn others -- especially first-time moms. This was my very first ultrasound, a moment I had dreamed about. Instead, it turned into one of the most heartbreaking, cold, and confusing experiences I've ever had with a medical professional. Dr. Sungurlu was shockingly rude and dismissive from the moment she walked in. No warmth, no introduction, no effort to make me feel seen or safe. She barely acknowledged me, rushed through everything, and made zero effort to explain what was happening. Her attitude made it very clear she had no intention of continuing care with me -- though she never said it outright. She simply walked out of the room mid-appointment, without a single word of goodbye or any indication that the visit was over. My partner and I were left sitting there in silence, confused and hurt. We had to track down a nurse just to ask for the ultrasound photos -- something that should have been handed to us with care, not treated like an afterthought. I left that appointment in tears. What should have been one of the most joyful days of early pregnancy felt like a cold rejection. No one deserves to feel that way during such a vulnerable and important time. I don't know what kind of day she was having -- but if you can't show basic human decency to someone carrying life for the first time, you should not be in prenatal care. Do better.

They were shocked and furious when I told them about the care of been receiving. They looked at my sugar logs and said they looked fine.

Which she couldn't relay that information, she had another staff member call me the next day to say its their "protocol" to receive the transfer papers BEFORE even checking to see if they have enough availability to take another patient.

Oh, there is so much to say about my birthing experience. I'll keep it short…read more 1) THE CLASSES: the birthing class series led by Marina was awesome. It was educational and fun. The classes really helped put my anxiety about childbirth to rest. They cost a mere $20 per couple for the whole series. There are snacks provided at every session so the fee basically covers the cookies. Definitely recommended for all first time parents! 2) THE NURSES: Majority of the nurses at Birthing Unit were amazing. Special shout out to Jill (visiting nurse), Amy, and Christina (usually in mother baby) & Kim in Mother/baby. These women took great care of me. 3) HOSPITAL ADMIN: This is where the 3 stars come from (instead of 4-5) Lack of available anesthesiologist!! I planned to get an epidural from early in my pregnancy. It was in my birth plan. I notified the nurse once I was admitted so there were no surprises. I was hooked up to an IV at 2:30 am and I didn't get my epidural until 7:15 am. That's right, I WAITED OVER FIVE (5) HOURS FOR EPIDURAL! When I say waited, I mean labored naturally in agonizing pain when I could be resting in preparation for the pushing... My poor nurse kept telling me that the epidural would be coming soon the whole night to no avail. The ONLY anesthesiologist in the entire hospital (what?!) was tied up in a surgery. I had to wait for another one to start the morning shift... I don't know about you, but for women who want the epidural (statistically its the majority), this is quite a big issue. I was really disappointed in Sierra Vista for making me suffer unnecessarily. As one of the two major birthing hospitals in the area, you'd think they'd be able to call someone in. Note: all the tours and classes tell expectant mothers that the wait for an epidural is usually 30-45 minutes. I'm letting y'all know, this is not true. Not in my case. Mind you, there were 5 of us who were all needing epidurals that morning and all of us were waiting for the morning shift anesthesiologist to come in. All in all, I'm going to think long and hard if I want to deliver at SV again unless I decide on an unmedicated birth. Could this happen at French? Maybe...so far I've only just had the "SV pain special". Note: if you're pregnant and reading this - don't freak out. Im sure my situation is rare and hopefully it won't happen to you.

I was induced in the afternoon and ended up pushing around 5 am, and then had a c section at 7am. The staff here was amazing. I don't say that lightly - they were incredible. I wish I remembered everyone's names, but they were so helpful. Nicole was so kind and amazing. She helped me with my breastfeeding issues. I remember being so excited to tell her when my milk was slightly coming in. John was SO amazing as well. Kind and sweet, sharing stories with us about his own kids - just a true gem. My husband told me that he wished he expressed to John how grateful he was, but he was so emotional that he couldn't get the words out. Dr sungurlu is a special kind of dr, so confident and direct- two things I needed to get through all the unexpected things I experience during my birthing journey. Niki was great and was my nurse during the contractions/ water breaking. She made sure to keep checking in on me, and she made sure to let me know that if I wanted the epidural, it would take about an hour for the anesthesiologist to arrive. The anesthesiologist was so sweet, I wish I remembered her name. I had another anesthesiologist the next morning for my c section, Dr Jenkins. He was incredible. He stood behind me the entire process, making jokes and distracting me. He kept asking if I was ok, and helped me when I started throwing up after the surgery. He even took pictures of my husband and I when we met our baby. Basically, all in all, I could not have gotten through my birthing journey without Sierra vista. If I have another kid, I'll most definitely be back to this hospital.
