I went to Allyson Patronella at the Katy West Houston Ob-Gyn Association and had a positive first time experience. Dr. Patronella listned to my history and realized that she was going to be in for a hard time as I have struggled with regular periods throughout my life, and once again the birth control I was on wasn't working. She prescribed a new birth control for me to try.
Well after 3 months the new birth control was horrible and so I called to see her again. When I went in, she said that there was nothing else she could do and I should just live with the problem. Sorry but I had a few health problems associated with doing that. She was very short with me and made me feel this was just soemthing wrong with me. I also was given the feeling that she just wanted to deal with delivering babies and not helping everyone.
So I began to request my files. I made 3 written requests and several phone calls all of which I was made to feel like a bother. They never did send my files to my new doctor to this day, three years later. I think Dr. Patronella might be a great doctor if you were pregnant, but I would not recommend her.
