Sturgeon Women’s Health Clinic

I have been going to see Dr. McCauley for a little under a year now and I felt comfortable with him and his staff, from day 1. Some doctors you just click with right away, and to me that's a good sign that they are meant to be your doctor. He gave information, but made sure that you understood what was being told to you. And made sure to ask if I had any questions, and never had any issue with any questions or concerns. Nothing but good things to say about Dr. McCauley, he's the best.

I attended this Clinic for my first child, and the OB I saw I felt did not listen to my needs or concerns. Things went wrong because I wasn’t listened too, 10 days over due, I was induced by my OB and it turned into an emergency C section where I was put to sleep, and delivered a baby that was over 10 lbs, recovery, blood transfusions and lots of complications later I felt like this could have been avoided had my doctor actually listened to my concerns about the pain I was having; instead my ultrasound was basically ignored and I was told she would be a right on track for a normal sized baby. So now after losses, I am finally pregnant again it was time to look for a new OB, because I def wasn’t going back to my last one. I requested Dr. LaCasse, as she met with me during my blood transfusions and chatted with me about things that could have been done differently and how we will approach things next time, she comforted me and I felt great after that personal experience to have her as my REQUESTED OBGYN. Perfect, my family doctor sent the referral and I get a call from the clinic only to be told I was booked for an appointment with my previous Doctor. Why? I specifically requested someone else, why would you book with my the previous Doctor even though it’s been over 2 years since I’ve seen her? Oh it’s policy, they don’t allow patients to switch doctors to “avoid the confusion”. Umm what? I don’t really care about policy so of course I challenged it, only to be told I can’t see the doctor IM REQUESTING because she’s in the same office as my previous OB? What kind of policy is that? You’re denying patients the right to their preferred MD? I would never recommend this office because if you feel like you’re not being listened to by your OB, then you won’t be able to switch within that office, and you may not be able to deliver at the sturgeon hospital if that’s the case!
