Dr. Badell was wonderful. She walked me through the entire process, telling me what to expect. When she saw how nervous I was, she asked if I wanted to listen to music. She was thorough and responsive. I felt like I was in very good hands.

I've been getting the impression that the physicians are getting pressure to push for me to be on insulin for my gestational diabetes when I don't need it. Everyone has mentioned it every single time I've gone. It's rubbing me the wrong way.

Very Good..

Wonderful explanation and pictures. The ultrasound tech couldn't get all of the images because the baby wouldn't turn and the doctor came in and got all of the pictures so I wouldn't have to come back. She was super nice with wonderful bedside manner.
