UCSF Women’s Health Obstetrics Services

Not great, but not bad.
One of the midwives read my TB test wrong and she was the one who told me to take it.
Some of the staff are nice and very competent. Some are not too competent.
The whole system is overloaded with patients. Always had to wait an hour per visit, if not 1.5 hours. The longer the wait, the less time the doctor has with you. One time I wait 1.5 hours just to get seen for 10 minutes.
Patient care is in my opinion very mediocre… You’re just a number… Different nurses, doctors, and midwives give me different information about my health. For example, I have been told at least 4 – 5 different expected due dates… It’s weird… All the techs keep on asking me when my due date is, because the due date on my record was crossed off many times and corrected… I’m like. I thought you guys should tell me when it is…
Hopefully the birthing center experience is better. But my experience with the UCSF OB practice made me really consider hiring a doula. I can be a number when I’m pregnant and not in pain, always reminding staff there of who I am. etc…but not sure if I’m in labor…
