Waits Kevin A DO

I’ve lived in five different states and seven different counties –I’ve had a lot of doctors– and Dr. Waits isn’t just the worst gynecologist I’ve ever been to, but the worst doctor I’ve ever been seen by (PERIOD).
My husband and I are having a baby soon and are very excited about it– but it was an unexpected pregnancy. I drank alcohol a couple times and took a painkiller in the first three weeks of my pregnancy, and was really worried about the damage it might have caused to my baby. When I showed up to my appointment with Dr. Waits I explained to him my concerns and wanted to know– A: how much damage I could have caused, and B: if there was any extra steps I could be taking to ensure the health of my unborn baby. Not only was he very rude and judgemental about my concerns, but he answered none of my questions and sent me away immediately with a lab order which turned out to be a drug test. When I returned a week later with my lab results (NEGATIVE on all drugs), I was still concerned and wanted to get some answers about the health of my baby. He told me I might have, and probably did cause serious damage to my baby (such an encouraging doctor). I asked him if there was anything I shouldn’t be eating– his answer: «Yeah don’t eat any drugs» (DUH!!!). Our house was still under construction at the time and I wanted to know if it was unhealthy that I didn’t have air conditioning or hot water– all he had to say was that pregnant women have dealt with worse. Then when I was checking out with the receptionist, he told me in front of all the other patients waiting there that I needed to bathe more (I had showered that morning– I simply had dirty clothes on due to my muddy-​pawed dog jumping all over me in the car).
The bottom line is Dr. Waits does not care about his patients whatsoever. He has no sympathy or understanding for what I know are very common circumstances (i.e. drinking before I knew about the pregnancy), he actually tries NOT to answer his patients’ questions, preferring to leave them in the dark during a very emotional and scary time in a woman’s life, and he assumes that every woman who has an unexpected pregnancy is a drug addict who doesn’t care about the health of their baby.
I have an excellent midwife now (Nora in Redding) who sat down and talked to me for TWO hours about good nutrition and what to expect when I go into labor– I don’t think any doctor, ESPECIALLY Kevin Waits, would do that for a patient. And my pregnancy has been a very healthy one. I feel so sorry for any woman that ever has or will be touched by Kevin Waits’ filthy hands.
