Hudson Physicians

I was very pleased with my visit here. They were able to schedule a timely appointment. They wee professional and friendly. I also was not as intimidated or frightened at this facility as I have been in others as the décor is soothing and relaxing. It is quiet and clean. Nice large spaces to wait in so you don’t have to sit on top of others sick people and spread germs there are a nice current selection of magazines. My doctor was wonderful as she gave me every option for treatment and let me choose what direction I wanted to go. I totally appreciate how I was treated like an individual with my own concerns and ideas even if they are irrational. She listened and communicated and was present in the moment with Jr. She also anticipated my needs and fears

This practice seems to be headed down hill. In the last couple of years they have become very political and policy, rather than patient centered.
They used to have top-​notch OB/​GYN care. They were even able to offer vaginal breech delivery, vaginal birth after cesarean, and a low intervention approach. My doctor even used to boast that women came clear across the country to have their baby there. She even proudly announced that she doesn’t require an automatic hep lock insertion for her laboring patients. Well now the tide has turned. First they did away with vaginal breech because not all the providers were trained in it. So lack of training justifies unnecessary major abdominal surgery and a limiting of options for some mothers? That doesn’t make sense to me.
Then the hospital this physician group is affiliated with, banned all VBACs with little notice, leaving many VBAC moms scrambling to find care in their third trimaster. What is far more telling is in the same letter they announced the cessation of evidence based VBACs, they allotted equal time to saying that laboring women would now be forced to comply with their hospital centered «policies» and submit to medically unnecessary hep-​lock insertions and other procedures. Their topnotch OB/​GYN had to leave the practice in order to stay true to his oath to first do no harm. And although there are still some individual doctors there that are great, the leadership of the practice seems to not understand the importance of patient-​centered care.
