Had surgery with Dr. Vulgaropolis. First he was several hours late to the surgery and they couldn't get ahold of him. Then I was having severe pain after the surgery and complications. I called the next two days and only midwives were in and they could not help me. They would not have the doctor call me. They told me if I was in pain to go to the ER. I ended up having to do that and there was definitely complications going on. I ended up having to pay for the hospital visit out of pocket. I called to speak to the practice manager about how rude the nurses and midwives were, that they refused to leave a message for the doctor to call me back, and they caused me to run up a huge bill at the ER. The practice manager was the rudest of all and told me her staff told her about me calling the past two days and that they wouldn't have me any longer as a patient. Can you believe that?! I didn't even get a follow up appointment I was required to have! The doctor didn't call and check up or anything. Horrible practice that just cares about money more than patients. Glad I wasn't pregnant! read more

I visited triangle womens center in morrisville today and left in tears. I am sharing my experience today so maybe other ladies won't have to deal with the same experience (with the exception of the doctor's assistant, who was so sweet to me I wish it could make up for the terrible experience but I just can't return) To begin with, when i scheduled my appointment, the receptionist I spoke with was extremely rude over the phone. I am a waitress, and I really try to let it go when people have a bad day and can't censor it. I did let it go ,and still scheduled. I was also told over the phone they accepted the kind of insurance I have, Coventry. I arrived. When it came time for me to see the doctor, the doctor's assistant spoke to me and asked me about the nature of my visit. She was extremely professional and nice. I thought surely this must be a wonderful office. When I got into the room with my doctor, she did not smile, she was extremely hostile. She criticized me for the list of supplements I had taken in with me (which i had brought to make sure would NOT interact with the birth control I wished to obtain that day, as you all know for example St Johns Wort can definitely mess up your birth control hormones), saying I didnt need to take all these supplements (which is simply a list of vitamins such as melatonin, vitamin b, d, etc.) I asked her what birth control she would recommend for me that wouldn't make me gain weight (as some of them do) and she said (again, quite hostile) "if you don't want to gain weight maybe you should eat right and exercise." OK. again, condescending as all get-out. She then went over the different methods extremely quickly and said maybe I should do the pills. She did not discuss brands of pills (in the past I've always seen my gynos actually go over the brands and discuss pros/cons. The fact that she didnt made me feel perhaps there would be side effects happening that were quite undesirable and NOT told to me previously) Good enough, I guess. I stepped out of the room when I was finished with my doctor and went to pay. I was told I would be billed for my visit. I have Coventry insurance, and it's 25 for a visit to the gynecologist. I explained this to the young lady at the desk, and she called the doctor over (ten minutes later). I asked her before then, "Can you ask the other young lady working at the desk? " She responded, "Oh she wont know either". I was under the impression you had to have a degree of some kind to work at the front desk of a doctor's office. My bad. The doctor came over and said "I've never seen this kind of insurance before." I told her it was obtained through Obamacare and there came the massive freakout from her. "Oh my God! We do not accept Obamacare!! " She then began to chastise the front desk staff IN FRONT OF ME. They did accept Coventry as well. But was she really freaking out over accepting Obamacare ? Oh yeah. So not only was my doctor rude to me, short with me, judgmental to me, she also treated her staff like crap. She never went over the different brands of the Pill with me, and she treated me like a number basically. She gave me three or four different pieces of advice on things in her office that I quite honestly did not ask her opinion on. It came off extremely rude and judgmental. I felt at that some point she inferred my husband may have an STD, she judged me for taking vitamins (??), and she also gave me a long winded lecture about the dangers of intercourse during your cycle. I understand maybe in her culture, intercourse during your cycle is frowned upon... but um.... doc we are in America. I left in tears today from this place and dont want anyone else to have the kind of experience that I had today. I was called fat and I was criticized and rushed. I can't believe that I overlooked the front desk being rude to me when I was first booking my appointment, but believe me I will never make that mistake again. I do want to say that the doctor's assistant was an absolute angel and I hope she finds a better company to represent because she was absolutely terrific. read more

I don't know what happened to the other ladies when they were in labor, but I had a great experience. Sometimes I did have to wait for a bit to be seen, but that to me is the nature of this sort of medicine, it happens. They were always very attentive and wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues or questions. My biggest (and really only) complaint is that at the end when I was having to attend weekly and biweekly appointments I had a hard time getting in anytime that would work for me, but there is only so much they can do about that as well. read more

I went to Triangle physicians when I was 10 weeks pregnant because I was refer to them from my fertility doctor (that also works at this practice a couple days a week). My first appointment took longer than normal because even I fill out all the history online as they asked you to do before your appointment, they had a problem and the person with the info could not send it to the nurse so that took 2 hours. Then they put me in the ultrasound room to check on babies heart and everything and waited for about 30 minutes or more in the coldest room ever! Never saw a doctor just a nurse and a midwife. I decided to stay with the practice because my nutritionist as well as the fertility doctor were link to them so I thought there will be a good communication and my history will be shared in between my care takers...WRONG! When I started my pregnancy I had my glucose a little high 0.1 above normal, so the nutritionist indicated me to start checking my glucose twice a day. Because my readings were in range but a little high in the mornings she wanted me to do it 4 times a day. In the mean time, when I went for my next monthly appointment I was supposed to see doctor S. Oh surprised just saw a midwife after waiting about 25 min. Well then when the insurance didn't want to pay for more glucose test strips, the nutritionist pushed me to make an appointment with the doctor. So I schedule and appointment and asked them to count it as my regular visit because I was already paying according to the plan and I wasn't about to pay extra. So the day of the appointment who shows up... a nurse and midwife, well I put my foot down and told them how upset I was with the course of things that I felt like a beach ball been tossed around from one to another... so Doctor V. came into the picture as my doctor now. We talked and by now my sugar level was in complete normal range. I left relieve and happy, the doctor gave me peace of mind and everything and I schedule my next visit after the special ultrasound and genetic consultation that they do not do but they ask Duke perinatal to do it for them. During my next appointment with doctor V, everything went well however OH SURPRISED! he has not even read the results from my consultation with Duke! I have to tell him and then he looked and read it while I was there! Well I have a very rare condition that only happen in 1 of 2000 women and it can be fatal for the baby if he is not born by 35 weeks!!!!! and it is called VASA PREVIA (not placenta is different) and what his reaction was oh that is not good... duh! Anyway results are that I will not be able to deliver with them at Wake med Cary because I needed to go to a hospital with an advanced NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) because my baby needs to be premature and I needed to continue having follow ups with Duke. So if I am not going to deliver with them, then why I will continue paying the monthly plan??? So I did what everyone probably will do in this case and change practices, and I did. However I had over paid them according to the visits I had and I had a balance. Last time I saw doctor V. was in October 2015. It is February 2016 and the practice has not refund my money yet!. I talked with the financial person (Christie) and she said they need to fill out the claim first with the insurance for the amount of visits and then they will give me a call. GUESS WHAT NO ONE HAS CALL ME TO TELL ME I HAD A BALANCE. So when I went for my follow up in Duke every 15 days (right across their practice I always stopped by the front desk and asked about my refund ( I have done this about 3 times, and each time they said they will call me... GUESS WHAT I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE CALL. on the 4th time I went they said the check was on the way (January 4th, 2016) I have call several times in between visits and still nothing. It is FEBRUARY 4TH 2016 AND I STILL DO NOT RECEIVE A CHECK. I am at bed rest at the hospital since January 12th and my c section is this coming Monday! I have call them twice, today is the second one and left a message with Christie, NO CHECK NO CALL BACK NO NO NOTHING! I understand a refund takes time, maybe a month but 3 months??? How long will it take for the mail to come in a month inside Raleigh area or any where in the USA? unless their bank accounts are out of the country??? I am reporting them to the Best Business Bureau, because this is non sense! read more

If everything went fine in pregnancy I am sure I would be fine with the clinic. Everyone wants a healthy baby and if that had been the outcome I would of been happy. That was not the case for me. I found out at 18 weeks that my baby girl did not have a heartbeat. The staff was very nice about it and I was in total shock. I decided to have a D&E right then (if I could go back I would have chosen to be induced and deliver.) Because things did not go as planned (having a healthy baby girl) I have a few things that make me give this clinic a poor review: 1.) I had never had a missed miscarriage before. They did not explain it to me. I did not know exactly what a D&E was...I did not realize at this late in the game I would need stitches, that I would bleed for two and a half weeks, that my milk would come in just like I had a baby, or that the hormone stays in your system and makes you more sad than you already are....they never told me any of this. 2.) They did not give me antibiotics after the procedure and I got an infection that I feel could of been prevented. 3,) They never called and checked up on me after the procedure. I called and left a message saying I did not feel well and needed a follow up appointment and they did not call me back. 4.) The last, and maybe most important, there was one day when my girl was still alive that I tried to call them. I could not get through...it did not go to voicemail nor did anyone pick up. I tried twice because I was right by the clinic and thought maybe I could pop in. Since no one answered I did not go in. I did not want to be rude. I have had four children and everything I was experiencing was something I had experienced before and when I Googled it, it was normal. I chalked it up to round ligament pain. Was it? I don't know, but in retrospect, I wish they had answered the phone or that I popped in anyway. Basically, if I had a healthy baby I would of been happy. My problem is that I feel the clinic could of made me more informed about my choices being that my baby did not live and they could of prepared me for the weeks after the procedure or birth. read more

Waste of time going there. They make pregnant and injured and other patients with complicated issues wait for over an hour cos they triple book and if they get delayed by one case then everyone else ends up waiting. They are just into making a good profit and nothing else. They don't read up the history of the patients before coming in and we have to repeat everything every time and they just see you for barely 2-5 mins with one leg in the door to run to the next one. One of the midwives literally made me cry on the table by not being gentle and yelled for coming in with an issue and so am the one forcing her to be rough. She was so mad from the time she got in and kept cribbing about everything around and made some wierd faces while I was explaining the symptoms like I was making it up. Some of the mid wives and doctors are compassionate and nice but you will never know who you will end up with in the hospital which is so scary. read more

If this review was about Vijay Sheshadri - it would be 5 stars. He is a smart and laid-back doctor who delivered my first son 4 years ago. However, in the time since then (and the merger with the larger practice), things have obviously changed. The staff is not as friendly and punctuality is not a concern. You can always expect to wait at least 20-25 minutes for your appointments. I was recently told to come at 9:15 to complete some paperwork before my first major OB appt and wasn't taken back until 9:55. As someone who works, this is difficult. I have to agree with previous reviews that the front staff is 'horrid'. Completely unhelpful and shows no interest in doing their job. My husband continues to question why we are having our second child here but in the end, if Dr. Sheshadri delivers, it will be worth it. read more
