Washington, Sharon D MD FACOG

I saw Dr Washington for an annual exam today and I had a good experience in her office. I had no problems scheduling an appointment and once I arrived for my appointment, I found the front desk and Medical Assistant were both very friendly and professional. I did not have too long of a wait, as others have commented, and when Dr. Washington came In to the room, she was upbeat, very personable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. Another reviewer commented that she takes time with her patients and this may be the reason other reviewers complain of long wait times. I personally appreciate a doctor who is engaging and takes their time with me and that is something a I don’t mind waiting a little longer for.

I love Dr Washington and her staff. I’ve been seeing her since 2011 and she delivered my 2^nd son. She’s knowledgeable and takes time to answer your questions. If anything seems even a little off, she would err on the side of caution and send you to a specialist for a more detailed check up. I delivered both my son’s without the epidural and I can say that my experience with Dr Washington was 1000 times better than the first gynae I went to for my 1^st son. She could see that by gritting my teeth and making the mmmmpppphhh sound gave my body the extra strength to push my son out and totally didn’t mind me making noise. I’m not very noisy but you’ll be surprised that other OBs would expect you to make zero noise at all. She even came to the hospital at night, a couple of hours before I delivered and sat around and waited for me to deliver. I don’t think I’ve seen a doctor do that before. Most just wait to be paged before they would come. The only deduction is that there were a couple of times I came by to pick up lab slips during regular business hours but the office was closed so call before you come just to be on the safe side.

If I could give Dr. Washington more stars I would. She delivered my daughter last month and I couldn’t be happier with her bedside manner. She is kind, compassionate and extremely intelligent. She is not your everyday run of the mill OBGYN.
While many other reviewers commented on her office wait, it was my experience that she takes her time with her patients. My husband and I would definitely recommend her. On a final note — she also has an amazing staff!

I have been seeing Dr. Washington for almost 5 years. She is awesome and so is her staff! She has always been attentive and listens to my concerns. I have had 2 babies (both c-​sections) & post partum depression after both babies while under her care. She was so caring through the whole process. As others have mentioned, the wait time can be long, but I don’t mind when I’m getting good care.

This «Doctor’s» office is an effing joke, plain and simple. Washington views patients as nothing more than dollar signs and could care less about actually providing care. Listen to the reviews and STAY AWAY!!!

Very disappointed with this doctor. She says that she is accepting new patients, but after opening my medical record I received a call from her office saying that she would not accept me as a patient. It had nothing to do with my insurance and I tried to get a reason and all I was told was that she does not give a reason. This to me is very unprofessional and upsetting especially when there are a limited amount of OBGYNs in this town.

Prior to my visit to Dr. Washington office I had been seeing the same OB/​GYN for 20+ years. It took a couple of Doctors in my previous state before settling with him. My move to California is the only reason I changed. I went in for the annual check up.
EVERY Doctor I have been too ran a urine test, blood work, and the usual pelvic exam with PAP. So as usual I arrive with a full bladder ready to tackle the events ahead. To my surprise they only do a pelvic exam and PAP at your yearly. Upon inquiring about doing the other tests I received a look of utter confusion as why I would be asking for them. Sorry… this what I know as «normal» operating procedure during this exam and frankly its odd that you don’t. With a little more conversation she agrees to order the tests but now I have to book two more appointments at different facilities to have them done. A doctors office that doesn’t draw blood??? Bizarre!
I had specific concerns going into this appointment and basically was told that I just need to go to my family physician. The concerns I have are related to my reproductive system. You’re the specialist. Why would I go back to my FP?
Frustrated with the responses I received I stopped asking questions. Left the appointment and will never go back. Complete waste of time. My insurance only covers one check up per year and I still need things addressed. So I either wait and hope what I am experiencing gets better or fork out a ton of money to get the service I should have received at this appointment.
The office services are inadequate for anyone with a real concern or problem. I just wish I would have done a little more research before booking this appointment. For me, I will be booking appointments with my previous doctor when I am back in town. Luckily we are go back there a couple of times a year. I don’t know what to say for the rest of you other than look for an office that can handle «normal» doctor office functions. This isn’t one of those office’s.
The only reason I am giving this review two stars because the staff was friendly.

I have Only been to this doctor once and didnt Have a chance to actually meet her due to the CRAZY LONG wait! My appointment for an annual check up was at 10:40am after waiting until 12pm (1 hr 20min) I figured I Could not wait any longer so decided to leave. When I told the receptionist I was leaving she informed me that I was next, so she recommended I waited. When I asked her how much longer it would take for me to actually see the doctor she replied «about 30– 45 minutes» I continued to ask her «does she always take this long?» She replied back,” the average wait time is 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.“
So if you have the time to wait around, then maybe this is the doctor for you. Oh how I wish I would of read the previous reviews before I went to waste 1 hour and a half of my time! Don’t they realize that most people work or are on some sort of busy schedule!
WASTE OF TIME!

Never again. Brand new patient left waiting in the lobby for an hour. Led back to room where I was told the doctor was in a hurry and we needed to be quick. told to undress an d the doctor would be right in. 10 minutes more, waiting in the robe, nurse came back in and said the doctor had left. Then she proceeded to try and reschedule my appointment. Yeah, no way. Saw the doc pulling out as I was walking back to my car. Seems her hurry was lunch. Should have listened to the reviews I read here. Wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. Lesson learned.

I agree with Jamie… I had an appointment with Dr. Washington on February 28,2011 in which my experience was horrible! I’m in my early 30’s and was hoping for some guidance since I have Thyroid Issues. Unfortunately, Dr. Washington didn’t seem to care about my concerns not able to get pregnat. My husband and I definetly thought she was cold, and rude. I had the same experice as Jaime were my husband I experience when Dr. Washington actually let out a huge sigh and said «what?». Just so rude and unprofessional. What a let down after reading her webpage… I will definetly be trying Dr. Tsang next time…

Dr. Washington was horrible! There are not many OBs in Tracy to choose from, especially if you want a woman. When I was pregnant with my first baby she was cold to me, rushed, and actually put her hand on the door trying to leave my room quickly when I said «actually, I have a couple questions» (being my very first appointment with my very first baby). She actually let out a huge sigh and said «what?». Just so rude and unprofessional. I tried one more time a few weeks later and still as unfriendly as possible. Her patients are not her passion, they are her paycheck. I would reccomend Dr. Tsang… but I don’t want him to be overbooked and not be able to see me! (He’s the BEST).

I’m sure Dr. Washington is an excellent OB/​GYN but when it comes to bed side manner she needs to go back to charm school. My wife was pregnant with our first son and Dr. Washington was not accommodating to this very uneasy time in our lives it was our first child and we felt like the subject matter expert was with holding information.
She also seemed rushed and as if she didn’t have time for our questions. I have worked in the medical field for the past ten years and have met my share of doctors with god complexes but she by far holds top ranking. Soon after we switched OB’s to Dr Tsang and all our questions were were answered thoroughly in a relaxed and friendly environment not a rushed and hostile one. If she wanted to be an Army Doc she should have stayed in the military.

Former Army doc. Excellent reputation. A nice person who cares.
