Winchester OB Gyn Associates

Dr Curiale has the worst bedside manner. When I went into labour, she was on call and she was my doctor. By the time i got in the hospital, she had an emergency c-​section but after she her shift was over, she didn’t even bother coming by to just tell me she is leaving for the day. And no doctor came to check on me for several hours!
Even the next 2 days after my delivery she didn’t bother stopping by to see her own patient and I know from the nurses that she was in the hospital.
She also didn’t read my previous medical report about my c-​section which alerted another doctor about not trying vbac. She never pointed this out when talking about delivery this second time.
I also didn’t care about the practice. It’s impossible to talk to someone. You have to leave a message and then they’ll call you back.

I have mixed feelings about the office, but love my doctor.
I see Dr. Fullerton, and I love her. Very personable, not pushy, a great balance between cautious and laid-​back. She has great bedside manner, and I never once doubted the quality of care I got from her.
That said… they have a MAJOR problem with canceling appointments at the last-​minute. The problem is that, even the day a doctor is on-​call at the hospital, they still schedule office appointments. So they very frequently get called away with little warning. It was enormously frustrating to rearrange my own schedule for an appointment, only to have it changed mere hours before hand.
The only other doctor I have experience with in the office is Dr. Druga. He’s a very competent doctor and did a great job with my c-​section (he was the doc on call when I went into labor — definitely no guarantee you’ll have your own doctor that day). But I saw him for an office visit and he has AWFUL bedside manner. Not only did he criticize my weight (which Dr. Fullerton and my high-​risk OB said were just fine, PLUS I was having twins), but then he remarked, «boy, got a lot of stretch marks, huh?» Yeah, like you needed to tell me that. Charming.
So, I have reservations about the office, but I adore Dr. Fullerton and will continue going there.
