This was a basic laparoscopic procedure performed by Julie Clark. She also left me with a 15 cm hematoma across my abdomen which is most likely related to blunt trauma. Not only was I left in horrific pain, but I woke up to a puddle of my blood on the floor with a golf ball like mass sticking out of my incision. She opened me back up in the recovery room while the nurse gave me Valium and morphine, what seemed like triple of what they should have been giving me. My friends watched in horror. After the procedure I needed paperwork in order to withdrawal from classes for the semester as I couldn't even walk from the amount of pain I was in. Julie wrote "no complications. Lost less than 100 mL of blood". After I reviewed my blood work, I discovered that I lost almost a liter of blood. I almost needed a transfusion. This woman should never be allowed I touch another human being. Oh and before all of this, she made me wait in pre op for 10 hours before she canceled my surgery because "she had to watch her niece". The hospital gave me a $25 gift card for the inconvenience. If you're ever needing medical attention, go elsewhere!

Dr. Clark was my OB but Dr. Kosinski delivered my daughter.  Up until my delivery, I had a great experience with them both.  Dr. Clark assured me that they do not engage in interventions unless absolutely necessary, and with talking through the options with patients (unless an emergency, of course).  We talked about all sorts of potential interventions -- whether pitocin, episiotomies, c-sections, etc.  I felt confident in her practice and that they'd let nature take its course unless something went wrong.I had a pretty normal birth -- 10 hours after my water broke, 7 hours after real contractions started.  My problem is that Dr. Kosinski performed an unconsented and undisclosed episiotomy on me when there were absolutely no reasons to do so (baby was not in distress whatsoever).  He only told me about it after the fact because he thought she'd "been in there long enough".  I pushed for about an hour, and later learned from Dr. Clark that they let women push for 4 hours until discussing interventions.  To this day, I have no idea why he did this.  My only guess is that it was because he was tired (it was nearly 1 am) and wanted to go home.  So he performed the episiotomy to hurry the process.I spoke with Dr. Clark about this the next time I saw her (which was the next day or two) and thought she'd discuss with Dr. K.  As far as I know, she never did.  When I later got pregnant again, I decided I couldn't go back to them because I couldn't trust them.  What else would they do without my knowledge or consent?  What if it was something bigger than an episiotomy?  What if my baby was injured as a result?  What else would they substitute their judgment for instead of mine in a non-emergency situation?  I just couldn't take the risk.  So, I had to leave the practice.  I would not recommend them to others because I don't feel that they have integrity -- in what happened or how they failed to address it after the fact.

Dr. Julie Clark is amazing. The care she has provided for my wife has been above and beyond, I can't say enough great things about her - or this practice. Dr. Anthony Kosinski is also top notch. It gets no better.
