I felt like Dr. Steffan was Orestes that I was inquiring about birth options and when I asked for clarification on the estimated timeline of my twins arrival since our fertility clinic had a different view instead Ed answering she said she'd refer me to a high risk doctor and I'd want to talk to them. It felt like my questions were wasting her time..

We are an IVF pregnancy and Dr. Steffan tried to tell us a different due date from the clinic. I realized she didn't have the information that we transferred a day 6 embryo though. She's very kind.

I saw the practitioner in the summer about an oopherectomy to assist with prophylactic treatment for my breast cancer. Provider suggested coordinating with my neuro about effects to my migraines and then wanted to do a pap, did not want to accept that I did not want that done that day, was leaving on vacation. Provider made comments that given my breast cancer it was important to keep up with screenings. I agreed that I needed the pap but did not want it that day. The appointment this survey covers was for the pap that I scheduled as a follow up. Provider still made comments about me not getting the pap at my previous appointment. It felt as though I was inconveniencing the provider and there was lack of consideration for the trauma that routine screenings come with after my breast cancer diagnosis. Having a pap the day I leave on vacation and spending my vacation hoping the results were clear was not something I was prepared for. The comment that my paps have always been normal doesn't help, my mammograms had always been normal too. If a patient is reticent to have a procedure day of but is willing to schedule and return there may be something there that deserves flexibility and empathy.

Dr. Steffens is very nice, but I don't feel like I get any info at the appointments to help me during my pregnancy. I'd love more details on what to expect at the next appointment, what tests mean, and how to prepare for them. This is my first pregnancy so I'm trying to bring lots of questions, but there are some things I just don't know to ask. I was very disappointed in not being prepared for my 1-hour diabetes test and the lack of insights into how the 3-hour test works (the nurses response to my extreme anxiety to "bring a book" was not the answer I was looking for). Just overall I feel like I'm going into pregnancy "blind." Again, she is very nice and this could all be due to the hospital being short staffed.

The doctor was really great - My last two IUD experiences were really unpleasant and I told her I was a little nervous because of this. She made sure I felt really comfortable and explained every single step and her reasoning for doing things the way she did them. She went over risks really thoroughly without making the new IUD seem scary. I really appreciated that she assured me that if I needed to come in at a later time because of any issues, she would be available (really assuring after how crazy getting the appointment was)

Really took the time to dive deeply into my options with me. Treated me like I was a priority and listened very well. Knowledgable and lovely doctor. I typically really struggle to make it to the doctor but I don't think I'd even be nervous going here again :)
