Delisa Skeete Henry, MD

First, the hold time just to schedule an appointment was about 7 minutes, I had to call back twice. Once scheduled, they don’t call to remind you… but those are minor compared to what I’m about to get into. My appointment was at 9 am, since I was a new patient, I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out all the paperwork. There was only one other woman when I arrived. I signed in and completed the paperwork in under 5 minutes and I waited… as I waited, several women walked in, signed in, were called in, and even completed their appointments, as I waited, there was even another new patient that arrived way after me. So I approached the desk (at 9:45 am), they were very nice and told me I was next. So I sat back down, two women were called after that, so I approached them to cancel my appointment altogether, it was 10 am now. They said they are now cleaning the room for me. Since I’ve come this far already and was overdue for an exam, I decided to suck it up and wait. at 10:05 am they called me in. Completed the initial steps (blood pressure, weight etc.) sat me down and told me the Doc will be in right away (zero apologies for the wait, however). 10:25…nobody…10:30 I stormed out, went to the check out desk, asked them to cancel and not charge me for this visit. During my rant, the doctor finally emerges from the back saying she was never told I was there waiting. I received zero apologies from the staff and instead was met with snarky attitudes, rude glances and smirks which was beyond irritating and extremely unprofessional. Again, since it is extremely difficult to schedule these appointments, and I was long overdue, and had some pressing questions, and already nearly 2 hours into my wait, I went through with the appointment. The Doctor was really sweet and apologized profusely. But once I receive my results I’m NEVER going back. The unprofessionalism there is appalling, the wait times are beyond anything I have ever experienced. And although the doctor was nice, I’m not sure if she was all there… she asked me the same questions about 3 – 4 times… back to back…

I was not happy with the lack of knowledge I felt the staff had.
I don’t really know who is a nurse, trained professional or just a staff member in scrubs.
I would not recommend this office based on my feel of it and experience with the front end and how they explain pricing for self pay.

Miracle workers. I’ve had many clients and co workers tell me about Dr. Skeet-​Henry. So I changed to this office. I see the ARNP Yolanta Booker. Seriously the nicest lady in the world. She helped me through a very serious issue when a different doctor at anther office that I won’t name, treated me horribly and scared me from getting treatment for 2 years. As if these types of visits aren’t already a headache for us. But Yolanta really took the time to calm me down and help me. I was told that Dr Skeet-​Henry only sees patients with complications and that need surgery. So I was a little upset when I couldn’t get her. But Yolanta is amazing. And I’m not pregnant so I can’t speak on any of those experiences here, but I have a pregnant co worker that comes here and loves them. It’s her first child and she said that she feels so comfortable with these ladies. I would recommend this office to anyone.

So far I’ve only met Shelia Love, Dr. Skeete’s certified-​nurse-​midwife for our first appointment. What I’m most impressed with is the fact that the whole doctor’s office seems to exude «pregnancy is natural and does not mean you’re sick.» For example did you know Dr. Skeete is the one responsible for starting the water birth program at Broward Health? Which means all the nurses there supposedly know her expectations and how to treat her patients. She is all about all-​natural solutions (laughing gas anyone?) but also know and do all the most updated and evidence-​based tests prenatally too. All of the office staff are helpful and relatable, the office itself is pretty clean and well-​decorated, and they take blood right there in the office (and do a good job of it). My only quips so far are that even though we came 20 minutes early for our appointment, we still waited more than a half hour after our appointment time, but the other side of this is that I never felt rushed at any point of my appointment — and we had a lot of questions! So I guess just prepare for this if you make an appointment. The other suggestion I might have is for Ms Shelia to be a little more gentle with the pelvic exam :} or maybe I can view it as a practice run for the baby itself? hehe, it wasn’t that bad anyway. Go here!

This woman is a healer — not just a doctor. I was desperate for a different experience for the birth of my last baby. My last three experiences with big ob/​gyn practices had left me so disappointed in the medical profession that I was willing to try any and everything including home birth not to have to go through that experience again. I thank God that I found Dr. Skeete and went against the idiot prejudice that «Jewish doctors are the best». Going to her for my prenatal care was like visiting a friend once a month. She talked to me like a human being, never made me feel «old» at 39 or treated my pregnancy like an emergency or an illness. I was never judged or reprimanded for how much weight I gained, and most importantly to me, knew Dr. Skeete would be there to deliver my baby instead of getting whoever was on call (which is what happens in a large practice). Oh and p. s. — she also happens to be an excellent doctor. A friend of mine whose husband is an ER doctor, who could have had any doctor care for his wife, recommended Dr. Skeete to her. She successfully delivered this woman’s twins — without a c-​section. As for me, she helped me deliver a 9 lb baby vaginally, without a stupid episiotomy because that’s the way I wanted it. If you want your birth experience to be YOUR WAY and you want to be treated like a real human being… Call Dr. Skeete. You won’t be sorry.

Dr. Skeete is the best OB/​GYN. She has the best bedside manner and is an amazing physician. I could not have made it through 8 weeks on hospital bedrest without her. She has delivered our two beautiful daughters, now 9 and 7 ½. You will be in the best hands with her.
