I am 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I went to my third appointment with Dr Andrew Gellens yesterday afternoon. It was honestly the worst experience of my life! He was supposed to be my OB GYN for the last 3 months yet I had NO ultra sound scheduled with him during this whole time! (I ended up using an independent company to get my own ultrasound and paid for them out of pocket cause I really wanted to see my baby and know the sex!)

I went to get blood work and urine done for Dr Gellens and after results came back he found that he had missed checking off certain tests which were required to be completed so he had to send me BACK to blood work for MORE blood and MORE urine because of HIS mistake! In our appointments he straight out told me that these "mistakes" (which he had made) were my fault and that we only have a couple months till my sons birth and that we will be lucky to get these tests done in time. He made me cry BOTH of my last visits. The nurses were really nice and even one admin who worked there referred me to a different office with a different OB GYN and definitely was hinting to me that she knew he was a jerk! He's just a really harsh person and not personable or happy at all! I NEVER got eye contact and he NEVER smiled once. He was like a robot each time he walked into the room.

I scheduled this last appointment with Dr. Gellens to discuss my ongoing anxiety and panic attacks I've been experiencing and he literally said, "maybe if you took your pregnancy more seriously and were more proactive, you wouldn't have so much anxiety"!!!

It has been a rough pregnancy for me this round, but after switching from Dr Gellens to my current OB GYN, I realize that the only reason it has been rough is because I chose the wrong doctor from the start. Save yourself valuable time, unneeded stress and chose yourself a doctor who actually enjoys his job and making his patients feel comfortable.

Another thing that really upset me and brought me down was the fact that Dr Gellens INSISTED I get my tubes tied. Now I am only 24 years old and it is MY decision whether I want this procedure and each time I visited him he kept pressuring and pressuring for me to sign documentation for my tubes to be tied at the same time as my c-section. Any woman can understand that if I requested this information, that would be one thing, but for him just to bring it up and keep pushing it felt very uncomfortable and put me in an even more awkward position with him.

One more instance that made me feel eery and the only positive thing that EVER came out of Dr Gellens mouth was that I had a very nice C-section scar from my last pregnancy and whoever did my surgery did a really good job, and he would say this every single visit... And honestly this didn't make me feel any better, because he is supposed to be delivering my son via c-section this time.... Please reassure me that you are going to give me just as small a scar as my last! HA!

Worse experience of my life. Us woman deserve to be treated with respect, comfort, peace of mind, and should NEVER feel pressured, judged, mistreated, and looked down upon during this delicate and important time in our life. Choose a doctor who will be honest, give you a smile and reassure you that everything is going to be okay. Don't waste your time going to Dr Gellens.

The restrooms at this provider's office were clean and well-maintained. You could tell that they cleaned them regularly. The one thing that I really enjoy about this place is their high level of customer service. Their full attention is always on me and they never take personal calls during my appointment. Not only do my appointments never get canceled last minute, they take time out of their day to send me a reminder so I don't forget. They are extremely reliable. The waiting area here is extremely spacious. There is never overcrowding and everything is spaced appropriately. The wait is never too bad.
