Whitney Sigala's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Sigala is amazing! She is so patient and kind! She truly takes the time to understand, listen to your concerns and ask questions to get a clear picture. The best OBGYN I have had. UPDATE: I will warn... the reception desk is super unfriendly, short and sarcastic. I simply returned the phone call of a nurse who wanted me to schedule a follow-up and the receptionist I spoke to was very sarcastic and condescending. If you hate dealing with people find another job for goodness sake! Such a shame for a great Dr. to have such a nasty front desk.

This review isn’t for the doctor as I have never been seen by her. I was referred to her by many friends . However , when I called to make an apt, the receptionist was mean and sounded nothing near professional.she sounded frustrated from work load but put that frustration on callers who are just trying to make an apt. The VERY first question was what is your insurance ? She said we don’t accept that.. I told her I have checked, and the doc is on the list of my approved providers she still “needed” to check and came back with “I don’t think we accept that” (which isn’t even an answer) although I had told her that I was certain. I can’t deal with office faculty who don’t treat their patients with compassion and professionalism.

So this review isn’t solely based on the Dr. herself but her staff. When I first called the receptionist seemed a little rude when I tried to make an appointment after getting a positive pregnancy test. Whatever still made an appointment. She must not know first appt is typically 10 weeks but she scheduled me for 6 weeks. Went in everything was fine even though I didn’t need to come in that early. (This is my second so I thought it was early but maybe different drs different rules) Second appointment it goes downhill. Apparently it’s impossible to see the Dr and have an ultrasound on the same day so I had to have two seperate appts a day apart. Waited over an hour to see the Dr. for a whole 2 mins. Ultrasound next day went fine no complaints. I complained about sever nausea each appt. doctor doesn’t really believe in prescriptions during first trimester but told me to call in a week if nothing improved. So I did as I was terriblly sick.(and last few days of first tri) Called nurse told her Dr. said I could get a prescription. Nurse says” ok I’ll call you back” never got a call. Called later that day and got voicemail. Called again the following day, same thing left a voicemail and still nothing. Day three of trying to get something to help me and no response. I’ve been so sick I can not sleep or go to work. Now I must suffer through until my next appointment. Thanks for no help what so ever! Already regretting my choice of dr for this baby!

I wouldnt want any other doctor to deliver my next baby. Dr. Sigala is awesome, very friendly, and thorough!

First of all, I would like to say that Dr. Sigala herself is a very nice individual and I believe she is a kind and compassionate doctor. However, this was my first pregnancy and in my initial ultrasound there was a fetal heart beat but it was apparently very slow. I did not find out about the slow heart beat until I was in the hospital for a D&C following a missed miscarriage. I wish I would have been informed by my doctor or the staff at OB/GYN Health Associates about the concern over the ultrasound and I also wish I would have been given a copy of my lab results. Will be looking for another doctor for any future pregnancies.
