OB-Gyn Group of Attleboro

the nurses brenda and trish are so totally uncaring! they are very judgemental and opinionated!

I love this place. They gave me my two beautiful children. I had 2 C-​sections with complications with my second one which they did an amazing job keeping me calm and delivering me a healthy baby. I had Dr. Dejesus and still have her as my OBGYN but the pressure the nurse and he her put on me about losing weight and hitting a gym cause I eat to much sweets was a bit much. I have psoriatic arthritis and am at the point were I am almost immobile. I am on a steroid to keep me being able to take my kids to school and go shopping etc. I was told to stay away from gyms but she did tell me about the Y for swimming classes I can take which was a big help. But she was heavy on the gym still. She told me 3 times «don’t tell yourself „oh I’m I am fat I want to eat cake so it doesn’t matter“ tell yourself oh no I do not need that cake» … Ya that was a bit much and hurt my feelings. I never said I ate cake lol. But anyway it is good that they mention my weight issue but that was over doing it. … Other then that they are great and have never had any issues with them. I have 2 amazing healthy kids and I have them to thank for that.
About the waiting time … I wouldn’t complain. A good place and or doctor … Ya you will be waiting to see them. You want something fast go to a place where there aren’t many patients which means… They are not where you want to be.

I am confused by the negative reviews of this office, as I have only had very positive experiences here so far. I am pregnant with my first child and have been seeing Dr. DeJesus, I cannot say enough great things about her! She is so friendly and cheerful but is also straight-​to-​the-​point and honest, which I appreciate. Her assistant is also wonderful and makes me feel very comfortable with each visit. I have never experienced the long wait times, but I always make my appointments very early in the morning so perhaps that’s why.
It is also worth mentioning that I have had 3 bladder infections (which are incredibly painful and require immediate attention) during this pregnancy and each time the nurse practitioner Carolyn Lipsky has seen me either the same day or the day after I call. My only negative experience has been with Dr. Digiovanni who, upon me describing my severe UTI pain (I know the pain and symptoms well as I have had many experiences over the years) basically brushed me off and said there was nothing he could do if I wasn’t responding to the antibiotics. I had to basically beg him to write me another prescription.
Other than one isolated incident, my experience with this office has been wonderful and I will most certainly see Dr. DeJesus for all pregnancies in the future

Where do I start? My first appointment with this OBGYN group «got lost» and they had no record of me or any of my information that I had given over the phone to them over 2 months before when I had called to make the appointment. My re-​scheduled appointment was at 3pm (6 weeks later) and I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out new patient paperwork. At 3:40, I asked if I was going to be waiting much longer and the person at the desk said that «the board was never updated… so we overlooked you. Shouldn’t be more than 15 minutes.». At 4:15 I was called into the examination room for my 6 minute pap. Four weeks later I found out that I was pregnant (my first) and called to get the confirmation blood work done and book a follow up with my new OBGYN doc. I was told that the lab would call me by the end of the day to book and the doc would book within the month. Never heard from them. This was right around Thanksgiving, and things were a bit busy at my house, so I decided I would call them the following week after the holiday. Well, I miscarried the night before Thanksgiving and went to the ER. The ER doc asked me to come back for blood work the day after thanksgiving and told me that the results would be communicated to me by the ON-​CALL doctor at Attleboro OBGYN. I never heard from anyone. I called the ER and asked for the Doctor that helped me and he was shocked and embarrassed that no one had called me from this office. He apologized for them and gave me my results which confirmed my miscarriage. I don’t think it could get any worse than this in regards to lack of professionalism and care for a patient. Just found out that I’m pregnant again and I’m searching for a new OBGYN that isn’t remotely associated with this group. If I could have given them a 0, I would have.

Ok, I would have given 5 stars, but have been frustrated by the long wait at times… that said, through 2 pregnancies I have witnessed patients arrive LATE and still be accommodated. I would find it hard to believe that this doesn’t impact the wait time for those of us who arrive on time. The practice really ought to address that. I mean, I have never been to a doctor that had anything less than a 15 – 20 minute wait. On one or two occasions I waited much longer than that and was peeved, but us pregnant gals to tend to be a little less patient to begin with.
As far as cleanliness, I have never experienced the filth mentioned by at least one other reviewer. In fact, it has always been very clean. The practice has undergone at least 2 renovations in the time I have been going to them. The ONLY time I saw «black handprints» was when the new floors were being laid and the HALLWAY walls had handprints, from the CONTRACTORS.
Dr. Llewellyn and her assistant Gail have always been very attentive and caring. I have been with them for 7 years, through two pregnancies and c-​sections and now I will continue to stay with them with my current pregnancy. In fact, after my first, I moved an hour away and STILL stayed with them. THAT’S how strongly I feel about my experiences with the practice and Sturdy Memorial. I have complete trust in and respect for the medical care provided by the doctors at the practice. (Exept «Dr. MumblyOldMan», as one reviewer described who could only be Dr. Shroff) He is decidedly «old school» and his assumption that my weight gain was due to «too many sweets» was offensive. I laughed it off with the ultrasound tech, who informed me that Dr. Shroff (thick in the middle himself!) has a rather large sweet tooth.
As far as the receptionists go, I have never been dissatisfied with their personalities whatsoever… upstairs OR downstairs… and I can only assume that the fishy smell described by another reviewer was perhaps left over from someone’s lunch.
Wow — this review is certainly longer than I intended, but when I went to look up their hours this morning I was SHOCKED to see a 2 star Unilocal rating a few results down on the page. I don’t think this place is getting a fair rating.

My wife and I bailed out of this practice about three months into the pregnancy. The first doctor, Dr. MumblyOldMan, was unintelligible. Dr. DeJesus was better, but she was pretty rough on my wife during a speculum procedure. Nurse doing the ultrasound was adequate. Reception staff was abhorrent. Give it up and open a fruit stand, guys.

Great services, caring doctors but awful timeliness. Expect to always be running behind on appointments by at least 30 minutes. I still love my doc and how often do you really have a baby?
