Dr. Pranita Nirgudkar

"If I could leave negative stars for this doctor I would. I was a high risk pregnancy and was currently having heart rate spikes, breathing difficulties, near fainting episodes, and extreme pelvic pain. I was also on beta blockers and the baby’s growth was suppose to be monitored throughout the pregnancy. My current doctors wanted me to get an ultrasound but there were no openings in the Atlanta office so they sent me to Forsyth. This doctor came in and asked why I was there and that she was NOT my doctor. She elated to the fact that my symptoms were in my head and not affecting the health of me or my baby. She did not take or check my vitals nor did she perform the ultrasound. She made me feel so bad about myself that my mother and I left the appointment crying. I was depressed, hopeless, and scared because I knew in my gut that something was terribly wrong. This doctor made the experience so traumatizing and made me feel so alone. A couple days later I went into preterm labor and they ended up doing a c section. They discovered a uterine window and that my uterus was close to rupturing and would have if I had tried to deliver vaginally. Those doctors saved my life along with the life of my baby that day. ALWAYS TRUST TOUR INSTINCTS. I wish this doctor had taken me seriously that day. I am so traumatized that I unfortunately am not going to have any more children. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did with this doctor. The gross negligence is scary and a glimpse at pregnancy care in America today. Never let anyone make you feel so low and terrible about yourself. Stay true to your gut and stay away from this doctor."
