I was grateful that the Doctor shared about his experiences with health weight loss. It helped me open up and feel like I could actually lose weight.

I do wish there had been a better explanation of next steps. As a first time mom, I do not know what I do not know. When I called the next day to set up my appointment for a dating scan and genetic testing, I had to talk to multiple offices and reschedule appointments as I found out that the genetic testing couldn't be done without the dating scan. In addition, I wish the consent papers would have been offered to me at my first appointment. I had to drive back out to the Bellevue office from Hermitage the next week just to sign consent to have genetic testing.

Again, no bedside manner. Extremely rude and short. Didn't acknowledge my questions and was very quick to get us out of his hair

Dr Thigpen was excellent! I was very awkward (probably the adhd or autism or just overall nervousness due to be naked around a doctor lol) and he just rolled with it and even complimented my socks! He made the visit less awkward and seemed to care which definitely makes me feel better as a patient.
