The only doctor I can strongly recommend from this practice is Dr. Zimmerman. But if you are considering pregnancy he will probably not be the doctor during your delivery as there is several doctors at Atrium OB and they are on schedule. I wished I had him but the day of my delivery it was Dr. Henderson and I had a bad experience. Dr. Henderson is very impersonal, albeit skilled but impersonal and I had a horrible nurse in the delivery unit at Rex and he didn't do anything to help, not even asked how I was feeling. The nurse I had on REx treated me poorly, she was totally uncaring and I felt she just wanted to rush me out of there. She shut down the epidural when I fully dilated and I was in excruciating pain for the 3 hours I was pushing it was the most horrible thing ever. All the way she forced me to push when evidently my body was not ready. This is appalling medical practice an shame for the Rex hospital and Dr. Henderson for allowing this to happen. I'm so traumatized by this experience I'm not going to this place ever again, nor I will ever deliver again in REX.
