My name is Malika Orazymbetova, and I am writing to formally express my deep concern and…read moredisappointment regarding the care I received from Dr. Jennifer Briscoe during my recent delivery and postpartum period. I gave birth naturally on May 12, 2025, under Dr. Briscoe's care. This was my second pregnancy, and I was determined and hopeful to have a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Throughout my prenatal visits, multiple doctors reassured me that I was an excellent candidate for vaginal delivery given my age (32) and good health with no medical history. However, Dr. Briscoe was the only physician who strongly discouraged me from trying for a vaginal birth and insisted that she would not "take any risk," even though other medical professionals assessed my risks as minimal. To be honest, I found Dr. Briscoe's attitude and communication style during my care to be discouraging and dismissive. Her demeanor made me feel uncomfortable and anxious about continuing my delivery under her supervision. Unfortunately, my labor began on a day when she was on duty, leaving me with no choice but to proceed under her care. During labor, I experienced prolonged contractions and extended pushing, but Dr. Briscoe informed me that my delivery would be "hands-off" -- a term I did not fully understand at the time. Throughout my labor, my husband and sister-in-law were present to support me. My sister-in-law, who wears a head covering, was quietly praying for me in the delivery room, as my family was extremely worried about my prolonged labor. However, Dr. Briscoe's gestures and demeanor made us feel unwelcome and judged, which added unnecessary emotional stress during an already vulnerable moment. Dr. Briscoe did not monitor me as frequently as expected during the delivery. As a result, I suffered a severe third-degree tear, which, based on my research and medical consultations since, might have been preventable or at least anticipatedgiven my prolonged contractions and pushing time. Had I been informed of this heightened risk, I could have chosen to proceed with a cesarean section to avoid such a traumatic outcome. The aftermath has been devastating. I have endured intense pain and severe physical complications, including fecal and urinary incontinence, which have lasted for months. I could not sit comfortably for nearly 15 weeks postpartum. These physical challenges have been compounded by emotional distress and postpartum depression, as I struggled to care for my newborn and older twins while coping with pain and loss of dignity. Adding to this hardship, I requested Dr. Briscoe's assistance in completing necessary medical forms for my employer to process short-term disability leave. Despite providing written authorization for the release of my medical information, Dr. Briscoe refused to include my diagnosis of a third-degree tear. I spent several exhausting weeks exchanging messages with Dr. Briscoe and her assistant, Karen, trying to obtain a properly completed form -- to no avail. When I later requested another medical form to support a remote work accommodation, the same dismissive and negligent pattern continued. I have had to chase after them repeatedly, often feeling humiliated and ignored, while managing my health and caring for my children. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of empathy, professionalism, and support I received from Dr. Briscoe and her team. No patient, especially a new mother in pain, should have to fight for basic medical documentation or feel disregarded by the very professionals entrusted with her care. I kindly request that this matter be reviewed thoroughly. I also ask that appropriate actions be taken to ensure that other patients do not endure the same experience. I am available to provide any supporting documentation or to discuss my case further if needed. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for your attention to this deeply personal and painful matter. Sincerely,Malika Orazymbetova

I don't write reviews, but I feel this is very important for those who are seeking a new OBGYN as I…read morehave never in my life experienced such unprofessionalism level of care. Called in April to schedule my annual appointment that includes an ultrasound. 1st appnt -2 front desk receptionist and no acknowledgment. I stood there for over 10 min until Finally, the person at the checkout in the back calls to check me in and then she tells me that they never booked my ultrasound. I finally get called in, Dr. says, "oh you are not due for an exam, but we will check anyways" WHAT! does a quick check and advise for a biopsy on an area. I advised about the ultrasound and if it's possible to get that done today. She says "no, just book another appointment and we can do the biopsy then too" The 2nd appointment - I check in, and they tell me its $80 copay now as only the first visit is covered, I just paid it and moved on. The Biopsy was a bloody mess, and I had to talk to convince the Dr to stitch. she was sending referral to UNC based on the ultrasound. Never even got a call and I don't think she ever sent that referral in. I wake up on Saturday to find the stitches came off and there was blood everywhere. I sent a message over the portal and call the on-call number. The on-call Dr. asks if I had controlled the bleeding, I tell him yes, he says "well just wait until Monday and you will need to call the office first thing so they can get you in to re-stitch it" I was in pain all weekend and bleeding on and off. The 3rd visit - I call Monday, and they tell me to come in at 11:20. I get there at 11 and check in. I am waiting, it's almost noon, waiting room is empty, and office is quiet, I check with the person sitting at the back what is the status, she looks in the system and realizes that they NEVER CHECKED ME IN are you serious!!!! Finally, they call me. The Dr. comes in and it looked like they called her from lunch, she apologizes and says "I am sorry, I guess they forgot to check you in" she takes a quick look and decided to use Silver Nitrate. Appnt took 5 min. She writes a dr. note for me that the receptionist will print at check out. I go to check out and the person can't find the note in the system, calls another employee and they finally find it but cant figure out how to print it, they couldn't even find a letterhead document to put the note on. I was then told that the office manager had to do it. I wait, standing in pain as I cant sit. I had to call my husband to come up to help me as he was waiting in the parking deck. He checked with front desk regarding note dela. Finally, 1PM now and the manager comes out with the note only for it to have the wrong information A few days later, I get a message that I owe another $80 for the visit. Why do I owe again when the first procedure didn't go well, and I was asked to go in so it can be corrected. I called billing and the lady was not helpful. I ask to talk to the manager. I leave a VM for Rachel (manager). Days go by and nothing, call again and again. I message the Dr. through portal and ask her to call me. The nurse calls me asking me what it is regarding, I tell her, she says she will pass it on and hangs up in my face. Over 20 calls and 3 messages through the portal and nothing. OVER 2 MONTHs now and not a single person has called me back. I don't ever want to see anyone experience what I had experienced.

Second time coming physically to Carolina Conceptions, but it will not be my last. All of the staff…read morefrom the front to the back are very nice and patient. They made me feel at ease with every step. This was the same with Dr. Park that I saw virtually twice for my consultation and follow up. Everyone wants to care and you can feel it. Minus one star for the blood pressure machine fiasco. I told one of the medical assistants to use a manual cuff as I always run high on the automatic cuff. And I was high and in some pain, so next time I will ask them to give me some time and take it manually. Also, I hope they upgrade their water fountain in the lobby--it kept spraying me in the face--smile.

After 11 separate visits to the clinic over a year, I NEVER met the practitioner who I had selected…read moreto be my doctor - and I drove 2+ hours to get to the clinic each time. I had a healthy, successful pregnancy from my very first IVF and 3 remaining genetically normal embryos remaining after I moved to the state. At my first implantation, the doctor asked about the gender (we had 2 males and 1 female remaining. We implanted the female). The doctor said "another girl? What are you going to tell your son one day?" Doctor, that's none of your business. That implantation ended in a miscarriage. For the next two [failed] implantations, my doctor added different medications saying "at this point, the studies are all voodoo, so why not try." She knows more than me so I trusted her, which I shouldn't have done. She tested my thyroid and gave me medication but never told me how important it is to take thyroid medication separate from other medicines. I realize she's not an endocrinologist, but if you prescribe it, you should give the warning. At one point I was taking over 11 pills and a shot. She also assumed that adding more estrogen was the answer and my levels were skyrocketing. Again, I'm not the doctor. As I said, both my implantations failed. I know that IVF is never a guarantee. And I don't completely fault the facility, however, in my journey to expand my family I feel like I wasted a year at Carolina Conceptions. New to the area, I thought it was my only option. It's not.

If I could give him 10 stars I would and I have never said that on Yelp for any business, let alone…read morea Dr. I first started going to Dr. Brannon after listening to others tell their stories of how good they felt after going. After 7 months of seeing him, he is the first Dr. in 38 years who knew exactly what to do for me to make me feel not just great, but whole. What I have realized is that I have spent my 20's, 30's & 40's never feeling good and missing out. I missed out on a good life. It took finding Dr. Brannon to discover energy, better increased mental clarity, weight loss, good skin, better overall healthiness and what a sex life actually can be like. I am very angry at my past physicians that I was robbed of these things, especially for so many years. I went through countless (I mean many dozens) of Dr's in 38 years, none of them capable of understanding hormones, thyroid, etc. Dr. Brannon understands it and in the first 3 months I felt the changes and today I have had weight loss, inflammation reduction, more energy than I have ever had and I have a wonderful sex life with my husband of 40 years. I wish I could have met him 40 years ago. My husband is now also going to Dr. Brannon. I have never trusted a Dr. more than I do him and I leave Florida to go to NC to my appts, hoping he will soon be in Naples. I highly recommend Dr. Brannon.

I've been seeing him for nine years, had my ups and downs and he ALWAYS comes through for me.

We trust each other and that has taken me through many great years with him... My big beef however is not with him but his rude staff!

My blood pressure was a little high, but no dangerously so, and I was told they "didn't have time" to see me and that I should wait at home until my blood pressure was at a dangerous level and then go to the hospital. They flat-out refused to provide me with any preventative care. I am 30 weeks pregnant and sitting around waiting to have a stroke because they won't let me talk to a doctor.

I want to share a clear case of unprofessionalism involving a staff member of Dr. Tatarchuk,…read morespecifically the manager Susan. About two months ago, I had an appointment scheduled for November 7th. However, on November 7th, as I was getting ready to leave for the appointment, manager Susan called me. Without offering an apology and in a very rude manner, she informed me that the doctor did not want to see me as a patient. When I questioned why I wasn't informed about this in advance, manager Susan explained that she couldn't reach me by phone. I had been receiving appointment reminders via email, so there was an alternative way to notify me about the cancellation. I had to adjust my work schedule for this appointment, and the company president had to handle it during the holiday season. However, Susan did not show any willingness to address my concerns and abruptly ended the call in the middle of my sentence. I was also disappointed that my doctor did not stand up for me. I find the actions of Dr. Tatarchuk's staff to be highly unprofessional, their manner of communication offensive, and their attitude towards the patient entirely inappropriate.
