Posted on: For extra bucks, some get perks

Dr. Docasar was my doctor for a couple of years before she moved up to their new office. I followed her up to the new office and had been seeing her there for a couple of years at the new office. I became pregnant and went to their office all through my pregnancy and Dr. Docasar and Dr. Keller had delivered my daughter in Oct. of 07. When I became pregnant again less than a year later I had gone a couple of times for regular visits before I was informed of the "Platnium Mommies" I was told someone would get a hold of me and tell me what it was. Never did anyone tell me I found out on line. I didn't know the cost I thought one penny over what my insurance covered that I work hard for through my employer was too much. (3500.00 is insane!) I am a high risk patient and was at the end of my first trimester and needed to find a new doctor soon. I was highly offend that these three women only had dollar signs in their heads instead of the welfare of fellow women carrying another life. When I emailed to have my records forwarded so I could see another doctor(a lot of docotors wont see you until you get your records) I thought they would actually help in that process since they were pretty much turning me away because I didn't have or wouldn't pay the extra money. I was wrong a week and a half later I called to inform them that I would come to their office in 2 days to pick them up they said they didn't have them ready or have my request and that I would have to refile for my records and it would take 10 business days. Anyway after back and fourth I finally got my records to my new doctor 3 weeks later! I don't need a limo ride. I don't need endless ultrasound picutes. Your spouse or family member takes you to the hospital anyway what are you going to do leave your car there so you can take a limo ride. I have never heard of something so absurd in my life. I want healthcare my unborn baby deserves not a greedy group of women trying to make more money. I thought I had found a special group of women that I was happy to see and comfortable with. I was very wrong.
