Dont like my OBGYN!!

[ss712]

I have been getting scheduled with only 1 doc at the practice I am going to( maybe noone wants to see her!!)although I fought to get appointments with other 3docs in my upcoming appointments. This particular doc whom I dont like---she was very rough with internal exam (twice) , wasnt compassionate...things I overlooked initially but last time i was bleeding heavily and again was seen by her.......she started with internal exam right away and when was about to leave said"alright since u r here lets check ur FHT as well!!!" I was shocked( am aware of medicine esp OB), the protocol is usually to check heart beat first to make sure if baby is alive or not and then do internal!!..........couldnt get over thta experience. And other thing was I had to tell her that  I would need rhogam since I am RH negative!!........This practice also doesnt have a US machine!!...........but before jumping onto next practice I thought maybe I should try other docs at practice who seems more professional.........
Any opinions?

Thanks megan and jrobertson for your inputs, I will keep those things in mind while making other appts...

When you call an schedule your appointments you should be able to try to get into a different dr. At my clinic they try to schedule each appt with all the dr.s so when it comes time for delivery we know all the dr who could be delivering our babies. You might have to wait longer to see different dr.s because other patients feel the same way about her. I would let someone know at the practice the way you were treated.

You are right, I thought of that. But there is no guarantee that 'all' docs in other practice would be nice! So thought if other 3 are good enough then will take a chance that she might be the one delivering me at the end.....

Well here is just something that comes to mind.   You can probably see somebody else at the practice but what if she is the one on call when you deliver your baby?  Would you be happy to see her walking in?  Not to play devils advocate but it's just something to think about.  It may not hurt to try other doctors there but may in the end be best just to out right switch.  Good luck and I hope you can find one you like and feel comfortable with.
