Please read carefully! This has taken me many months to have the courage to tell my story. My initial meeting with Dr A was very pleasant. Her staff was helpful. I went to every appointment and as I continued to go I saw how they began to slack with their concern for me. Dr A herself has her favorite patients who she genuinely takes time for. I became more and more aware of her fake persona. It was not until I was ready to deliver that I noticed how little regard she has for her patients. She is all about the Natural Child birth and thrives on how she has many vaginal deliveries. Here is when it all went completely down hill. At 34 weeks Dr A was very aware that my child was not going to fit through successfully. She scheduled me to be induced at 38 weeks. There was nothing natural about the chain of events that occurred A balloon had to be placed inside me to help me dilate this involved a nurse laying on top of me and pushing her whole hand inside of me it took my husband my mother and an attending nurse to hold me down during that process. After that was over I cried so hard and asked my husband if we can go home and come back tomorrow. Twenty hours later after only dilating 6cm Dr A came in my room for the first time and asked if I would like to labor longer. She knew at 34 weeks my child would not fit 26 hours of labor I was forced to make the decision to have a c section. My son swallowed so much merconiam and was jolted so much that it took a few minutes to finally hear his first cry. While lying there he shook across my chest so bad and I couldnt hold him from all the drugs I had in my system. Upon closing me they noted that I bled 3 times more than the average person. Dr A had the audacity to tell my mom I made a great decision because my child would never have come out vaginally. That evening I came to find out I was not the only patient that was induced after being told their child would not fit three woman that evening delivered Csections by Dr A had their child placed in the NICU My son spent 18 days in the NICU to this day many months later he still has health issues. I feel she makes terrible decisions She wants everyone to deliver naturally regardless of their situation. She has no bedside manner. I would never send anyone to her. I want more than anything to have another child But I see the fear and pain in a flashback every time I think about it.

moved in from another state towards 3rd semester of my pregnancy and I choose Dr. Aristizabel based on Google-ing reviews. I loved her the first time I saw her and I wanted to write a good review immediately but I said to myself: OK wait until you give birth and do it than. Well, it's been 6 months and I've been a little busy:), but it is never too late for a good word. Dr. Aristizabel is an excellent doctor. The first time I met her she gave me her cell phone number for- in case of emergency (not all doctors do that) and talked to me with no rush about all questions I had . Delivery went great, I called her late in the night and she gave me instructions, met me on the hospital, walked me trough everything and delivered safely my beautiful baby. I am happy that the first face my baby saw was Dr. Aristizabel
