I was referred to Dr. DeUgarte by my OB GYN after suffering through 3 miscarriages.  I was very nervous and I didn't know if it was ever going to work for us but I wanted to try every possible thing before calling it quits.
 
I must say, this was easily one of the best experiences I have had in any medical setting.  Dr. D and her staff are amazing.  From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like you are part of the family.  Every time I walked in I was always greeted with my first name and a friendly hello.  From the receptionist to the nurses, everyone seemed to know my name and that made me feel very welcome.

Dr. D is very easy to talk to and she had no problems answering all my questions.  Unlike most doctors I never felt rushed.  I felt she was truly there for me.  She took the time to look over all my info and made sure that every test was done so we could rule things out.  

When I finally did get pregnant, she was sweet enough to have me come to get ultrasounds weekly so that by the time I was 10 weeks pregnant I had already had 4 ultrasounds.  Let me say that for someone who has a high risk pregnancy and has had miscarriages in the past, it is the most wonderful and reassuring thing to do.  Those ultrasounds were what kept my mind at ease and seeing the baby grow made me so happy.  

When it was time to move on to my regular OBGYN, Dr. D gave me a big hug and wished me the best.  It was kinda hard to say good bye to someone who helped me so much.

I will forever be grateful to her and her staff who treated me with such kindness and respect.  I would recommend Dr. D to anyone who is having any issues getting or staying pregnant.  I can't wait until my baby is here so that I can drop by and say hello.
