I fell pregnant in August 2011 and being on Discovery Keycare, only certain hospitals, drs etc can be chosen.Due to this being a first time experience and pregnancy we were recommended by friends to see Dr Green at Roseacres. Firstly when we went,we had to pay cash for the visits and claim back from the medical aid, it took about 4 - 6 weeks for us to receive statements to send through to medical aids but anyway we saw her the first time at 20 weeks, she then decided that i am to have a papsmear done which at the time i didnt realise it was dangerous so i agreed. Luckily nothing went wrong thereafter. She then does the scans but it is all done so quickly, you don't actually know what you are looking at. When asked if she can show us what is on screen, we get an answer "oh i don't know why you can't make it out" and that was it.
Then i was advised to do the down syndrome blood test which my husband and I had decided against as we feel that it is still our child regardless. When we told her this, she continued to lecture us like school children and advised that it should be done (I was 25 years old and no history in either family) and if comes positive we are to think of long term consequences etc. When we still stuck by our decision she made us complete and sign some document to confirm that should the baby be born down syndrome we are not to hold her liable... i couldn't believe it.
I also advised her that i wanted a natural birth but with epidural only to be told that Roseacres do not offer epidurals... WHAT??????
Needless to say I never went back to her, changed to Dr Bilankulu and she was excellent, professional and so understanding.
Dr Green couldn't be bothered to phone then to find out where her patient was...
