Women’s Care

I would like to warn potential patients who are considering Women’s Care in Pawtucket, RI to seriously reconsider. I would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone. I moved to RI from another state with a life threatening illness. After being seen at RI hospital in the ER I inquired about primary care physicians seeing as mine was 3 hours away. Women’s Care was where they suggested I go. These people could not even get my demographic information correct & have me listed as living in Crossroads House when in fact I live in a residential neighborhood with my boyfriend & our dog.
I was also described as being aggressive & argumentative for wanting a referral to see an Endocrinologist. Now to be clear, I was being followed by an Endocrinologist in NH with the blessing of my primary care at the time. Is it wrong to expect the same level of care with my new provider? Apparently it is. I was told and I quote“we don’t like our patients coming in with preconceived notions.” How is that a preconceived notion to expect that my care be continued in a manner in which I’m accustomed to? By advocating for myself & my best interest I’ve been labeled aggressive. If you are looking for quality healthcare where you will be not only heard but listened to with compassion steer clear! I have worked in healthcare both in a hospital & in an OB/​GYN office and I have never in all my life seen such a lack of professionalism. It’s staggering.
While under their care I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago for about a week. They made no attempt to inquire on how I was doing or even a follow up phone call once I returned home. They of course knew I was admitted & they also knew when I was discharged as they were listed as my primary care. What blew my mind is that my NH Gastro Dr. called while I was in the hospital to check in & see how I was doing. Now that speaks volumes! That is a Dr. who truly cares for his patients. I take my health & well being very seriously. If you do as well. Do not make the same mistake that I did. Stay as far away as possible.
