I unfortunately will never be able to experience the greatness of Dr. Schlechter, but I still wanted to warn people new to her practice or considering it...some of the office staff really is as unhelpful and rude as others have said. To make a really long story short, I had checked weeks before moving from out of state if she could take me on and what steps I needed to take. I was diligent but her office called me 2 weeks later than when I was told (I repeatedly called to check in during this time), and then proceeded to tell me the Dr would be on vacation and couldn't see me for another few weeks and then would be on vacation for my delivery. Then someone rudely told me I didn't have to just see Dr. Schlecter because she had good reviews, they had plenty of other qualified staff. I repeated to her for a second time that I chose this Dr. because the one person I knew in this town recommended her and this was my first pregnancy so I was nervous and new to it all and wanted to go to a referred Dr., it had nothing to do with the reviews. But then she 'warned' me that if I did choose another Dr. there I had to stay with them through the pregnancy, no changing. Anyways, that's just a bit of what I experienced, and she only became more rude when I started crying because she wasn't helping me even though I kept telling her this was my first pregnancy and I didn't even know when I should be coming in. Needless to say I went with another Dr. in a completely different practice and I am so glad I did. Try Dr. Carl Wingo if you want to have a good experience right from the beginning. Though I will emphasize this is all based on Dr. Schlechter's office staff, not her. Just wanted to give a heads up to mothers-to-be.
