Not the best when you're pregnant 5/8/2009

I started going to Dr. Korman the summer before I got married because my mom had been using their office for years. I loved Dr. Korman before I got pregnant. OB-Gyn appointments are awkward so I really didn't care that he was fast and didn't talk much. Although, I really wasn't fond of him trying to push the Gardasil vaccine on me when I've only ever been with my husband and that's the only man I ever intend on being with! When I got pregnant, I wanted to ask lots of questions and there were many, many times that he went so fast that I couldn't remember what I wanted to ask! (As a side note, the brunette who does the ultrasounds is very rude but the black-haired one is really sweet.) So then we get to delivery day. My labor was only 3 hours long. So I didn't get any pain meds. Dr. Korman had told me a couple of weeks earlier that he thought my son was going to be over 8 pounds based on the ultrasound. So when I was pushing he gave me a 3rd degree episiotomy for... get this... a 7 lb, 1 oz baby. I cannot tell you how many times my sister-in-law has told me how completely unecessary this was. My SIL is a nurse in labor and delivery at the hospital where I delivered. So, I was in ridiculous amounts of pain for about 4 weeks after. I was told in the month leading up to and several months after that Dr. Korman does episiotomies routinely. I even talked with him about it and he lied straight to my face about when he thought it was necessary to do one. So overall, I'd say he's a great doctor when you're not pregnant and horrible when you are. I switched docs after my 6 week post-partum appt. Oh, and the waits at their office can be ridiculous sometimes. Pros: He makes you feel comfortable Cons: Rushes through appointments, likes to cut more
