Susquehanna Obstetrics & Gynecology & Nurse Midwifery

I have been a patient here for 4 years. I had my 3rd child with this practice and loved the midwives. I am sitting here now for an annual appointment. I showed up exactly 10 mins late for my appointment. I understand it’s my fault I was late but I have never been to a doctors that didn’t have a grace period for an appointment. They tell me I can wait and if they have time they will squeeze me in. I literally sat here for 17 mins before anyone came in for an appointment. I was literally the only one in the waiting room and they never came and got me. Now two women come in for appointments and they take them back right away. I can’t get over this. It’s like they are punishing me for being late. The girls at the front desk have no personality and have attitudes. I went to hand her a paper and she opened the glass didn’t make eye contact and was talking to someone else, just ripped it out of my hand. This place has really gone down hill since I started coming here.

Dr. Barakat and Staff were awesome. From start to finish. I admit i was nervous after reading some of the reviews. But I have experienced nothing but professionalism and kindness.

Awful! I went for a gyn checkup once and the midwife I saw had the personality of sandpaper. Nurse told me I wouldn’t need a screening test. Midwife came in and told me opposite. Midwife checked my blood pressure twice which I had already explained goes up when I go to the doctor and was only border line high. She then spent 10 minutes explaining the affects of high blood pressure to me like I was a 5 year old. I won’t be back. I would never have used this practice when I was pregnant. I can only imagine how awful they would have been. Don’t waste your time!!

3 years I told Nell I was in pain and I thought it was my Mirena and she just kept telling me I was making it up. One day after I came in with horrible, unbearable pain she caused me to leave her office sobbing because she said I need to see a psychiatrist and yelled at me for shaving of any kind. Her exact words were “if you continue to shave then I refuse to treat you at all.” I demanded to see a new doctor I got Dr. Bellantoni and he fixed the issue in one month. I wasn’t making it up, my Mirena was causing the issues and it could have been fixed 3 years ago if Nell would have actually listen to what I was saying instead of blaming it all on me and pushing her own beliefs. Other than the one PA the staff is incredibly helpful. Susan who I always talked to on the phone is so nice and always goes out of her way to try to give the best help she can and Dr. Bellantoni takes the time to listen, looks into your history and comes up with real, effective long term solutions.

Wonderful care with the midwives through 2 pregnancies. I was respected with my wishes for an all natural pregnancy and birth. Highly recommend this practice.
