Thank you Marshall Allen for writing this article.
I was a patient of Drs. Burns and Docasar when they practiced at Women's Specialty Care. (used to be Women's Wellness Center). The doctor that delivered my baby, Dr. Kenneth Jones, from the same practice, has now apparently joined forces with A Woman's Place although their website does not mention him. Nonetheless, I am pregnant again and scared. Finding good doctors in Vegas is like climbing Mt. Everest in high heels.
When I first called A Woman's Place, I was directed to their website to read about this Platinum Mommies program. I asked the receptionist if joining the program determined my acceptance as a new patient. She answered yes. When I asked the cost, she failed to answer. Instead, she told me a coordinator would call me back with the details. It's 24 hours later and I haven't received a return call. Through this article I see the cost is $3500. Thanks for the info.
So what do we patients do? I understand the insurance nightmares and can sympathize with the doctors. Dr. Burn's quote regarding long waits and the inaccessibility of doctors are true. Women's Wellness did in fact fit that bill. However, even if I can afford the cost of their new program, I am not sure I want to. It feels like extortion.
At the same time, returning to Women's Wellness or Specialty Care, whatever they call themselves these days, doesn't seem like a good option either. Their new website sites 14! providers. Where is the service there? Patients undoubtedly are cycled through like cattle.
So my question is this, does anyone know of a good option? Where can we go where we will be treated well and not be personally condemned because of national insurance policies or tort reform? Does anyone have any recommendations for a good OB?
Thanks, Kim
