Keith A Aqua's Online Review Report Card

Stay away. Especially if you want a VBac. I made it very clear that’s what I wanted and he assured me he would let me try. He told me my baby was in the perfect birthing position leading up to my delivery and there wasn’t one concern the whole pregnancy. Then he just had me come in for a c section. Didn’t let me try naturally for one second. He also did a terrible job on my c section. After my first one (different doctor) my stomach was back to normal 5 months later. I’m almost 10 months out and my stomach is so messed up. My scar isn’t a straight even line like my first one either. He’s a joke of a doctor and has zero care for what’s best for you and your baby. My neighbor recommended him and I’m so upset with myself I went with him. After reading these reviews I’m shocked he hasn’t been investigated and shut down. If you’re considering him- please don’t make the same mistake I did. If there was a time machine I could go back and get a different doctor I 1000000% would.

If I could give zero stars I would. He sent me to ultrasound and he said he would be there. He wasn’t. Ultrasound was in a different location and he charged me a co-pay. Insurance covered everything. One hour later was another appointment at his other office to discuss results. He charged for his services again and insurance paid the claim. I paid only one of the two co-pays. He turned me into the collection for the other unpaid co-pay. $70. I am not paying. He wanted to cut me open for a hysterectomy. He said laparoscopic surgery was not a good option. Only open surgery was good! I had a vaginal hysterectomy elsewhere later on. I couldn’t have hoped for anything better. No external cuts and I feel better than ever now. If you care about your well-being, go find another surgeon.

If I could give zero stars I would. I am not one to write reviews the only other review I wrote was the hospital this office told me I had to go too. I am so disappointed in this place. They are so unorganized, you never can get the on the phone, you'll wait on hold 30-40 minutes. Dr. Aqua, was my OB throughout my pregnancy and every visit I had with him, he spent a WHOLE minute and a half with me before he rushed out the door and on to the next patient. Now I have been waiting for 3 months for birth control. I call every couple of weeks to see what in the world is going on, just to get some phony story and I have to say, "that is not what I was told last time, each time it's a different story" then you get told you'll get a call back and you never do. The best thing you can do, if you truly care about your pregnancy and birth control, is find yourself a different OBGYN. Find one that actually checks you out and cares about your baby and you. DO NOT GO HERE!

Dr Aqua is a great listener. He makes you feel like he honestly cares and it's genuine. His team is awesome too! Keep up the great job Dr Aqua and team!😊👍

When I first started seeing Dr. Aqua he seemed caring and concerning for my different needs. Over time, that begins to dwindle as I feel it is all a show just to get you hooked into coming to his clinic (as do others that have seen him feel the same that I have spoken to.) Each session you begin to feel more and more rushed by him. I went in for an IUD one day and my IUD placement ended up not being correct (after having to go to get another appointment for an ultrasound a week or so later). The ultrasound tech that day ended up leaking to me that it wasn’t in place (which she wasn’t suppose to do) and I was an absolute mess until I finally received a call from Aqua’s office confirming that it indeed, wasn’t in place. I decided the Non-hormonal copper IUD was the best option for me so I decided to give it another try. After numerous visits and multiple co-payments it was confirmed that it was in place. In these months of this entire process I went off hormonal bc permanently that I had been on from age 18-28. I had never really gotten in touch with my body and “in tune” with my natural cycle before so I wanted to start to since hormonal bc gave me nasty side effects that I could no longer handle. I began tracking my cycle and tracking my waking temp to see if I had begun ovulating yet since I had read literature in the naturopathic community on “post birth control syndrome” and how it can take time for your body to start ovulation again. So it had appeared I had begun ovulation and having “real periods” again but I wanted to know for sure. So I bought an ovulation predictor kit to try out. My result appeared I had begun ovulating but I wasn’t 100% sure, so in my follow-up one month IUD placement check I figured I’d ask Dr. Aqua about it. First, he seemed to be so distracted by something (what was going on in his head I guess) that he didn’t even appear to listen to what I was asking. Then he goes “wait, what are you talking about?” Then I proceed to explain to him the ovulation test (again) which he seemed totally unfamiliar with (which I wish he would’ve just admitted instead of acting above me and all-knowing) and asked why I was even doing that. I explained to him that in the naturopathic community, a woman feels optimally her best when she is ovulating and producing all the hormones she needs (hence why I was suffering from anxiety on the pill because I was not ovulating) and I was simply trying to get more “in tune” with my natural cycle for the first time in my life and get better at understanding my feelings and emotions at different times of the month. He simply dismissed and invalidated me and said “Well a woman doesn’t always ovulate every single month and you’re not going to ovulate every month.” As if I didn’t already know that (insert eye roll here). He finally answered my original question and said “Well, you probably did ovulate” then followed up with the most shaming comment I have ever heard from a doctor in my life and said “Those kits are really just a waste of money and it’s not important to be ovulating if you’re not trying to get pregnant. How much do those those even cost, like $30? You should just take that money you spent on one of those and go buy yourself a nice bottle of wine or something.” I was appalled at how unprofessional that was. Essentially shaming a woman for simply wanting to understand her own body. Needless to say, I didn’t go back there for my follow up IUD check appointment a year later. The new office I went to the nurse practitioner was very respectful and listened and validated my concerns. She wasn’t able to view my IUD strings through a physical exam and was able to get me in for an ultrasound check in it THE SAME DAY. Then the Dr. She works under confirmed that the pregnancy coverage seemed to be “undetermined” because my IUD was in between the upper and lower segment of the uterus (optimal protection coverage is in the upper segment). Was this Dr. Aqua’s doing or simply my uterus rejecting the device? We will not know until I go in for a 3rd attempt with a new doctor. Also, it was determined that my IUD strings were cut to short and will need to be removed through ultrasound guidance or possibly hysteroscopic surgery. My friend also had the same issue with her IUD from Aqua, had to be removed surgically under anesthesia because her strings were cut too short. And unlike Aqua’s office that requires ANOTHER paid visit to check placement a week later, I’ll be able to get my placement checked right after the visit, same day.

Having been with Dr. Aqua for over one year, and not very satisfied; I finally became so angry at his negligent behaviors that I switched to another doctor in the practice. Dr. Aqua came into my last appointment not knowing what medications were prescribed to me by the doctor I last saw for an emergency visit. I ended up informing him of the medications; forgetting one. He obviously didn't have my medical chart with him and expected me to inform him. That is unethical and professional. During that visit, he said he would prescribe medication until the results from the culture were returned. He never prescribed the first medication nor the second. He is rushed and not able to discuss my concerns. Also, getting treatment for my low hormones he did not explain the different options to receiving them. I am seeing a psychiatrist and am on medication; yet, he wants to promote his CBD. He is delving into psychotropic pharmacology; which is not his expertise.

I was seeing Dr. Aqua for about a year and a half every 6 months because of abnormal pap smears. He was great in the beginning and he comforted my worries of my abnormal results. The last two visits I had with him, he didn't really answer my questions and when I asked about why I keep getting abnormal results he immediately jumped to the conclusion that either I or my husband have had a new partner (obviously didn't make me feel good).

Great doctor and staff.

Dr. Aqua is a great listener! Having an awful experience with a previous OBGYN, I was very hesitant to find another. On a recommendation I went to see Dr. Aqua and the ladies in his office and my visits and care have been smooth ever since! Often doctors and other medical professionals tend to not listen to the details that mean most to the patient but Dr. Aqua is attentive and thorough. Highly recommended

Dr. Aqua is not just an amazing obgyn and a brilliant surgeon, but also a kind and compassionate human being! The girls at the fron desk are very nice and efficient, they make a great team. Highly recommend!!
