  This is by far the worst doctor’s office I have ever had to get care from. Avoid this place and save yourself time and heartache. Go to Lawton or OU where they have more competent staff.

  I have had 6 pregnancies, 3 miscarriages, an easy pregnancy, and a severely complicated pregnancy. This pregnancy is my last, not the most complicated, and I have NEVER been treated with this much neglect and lack of compassion. I knew I was high risk to begin this pregnancy, but chose to do the majority of my visits local at JCMH, and my high risk review at OU. As soon as a few slight complications arose, the carelessness with my concerns turned into rude behavior by Dr. Rivera. The time spent with Dr. Sanchez and NP Stout were average and pleasant, but Dr. Rivera is the head of OB and has all final say. 3 weeks of pre-eclampsia symptoms and worsening hemorrhoids were brushed off because my blood pressure was not high and I denied surgery for the hemorrhoids. At my 30 week appointment my blood pressure was elevated, but not extreme. I was sent to labor and delivery for monitoring. My blood pressure was able to come back to normal after laying down. The nurses were great, they checked me and I was a fingertip dilated and not changing after hours of intermittent contractions, and I was negative for preterm labor (fetal fibronectin). Dr. Rivera asked me to stay for 24 hours to do a urine collection. I said if there are no other concerns I would like to do the urine collection at home like I did in early pregnancy and she said that was okay. My urine results were on the patient portal for nearly 24 hours before I received a call. When I called the office with my concerns and asking for notification, Dr. Rivera lied to her nurse saying I flat out denied staying at the hospital the day prior, and that she checked me and I'm fine. She did not check my cervix once, and did not raise any concerns with me wanting to do the urine collection from home. When she finally called, Dr. Rivera repeated that I needed no change in activity levels even though my protein was twice the maximum of the reference range, because my blood pressure was not too high once I laid down. Preventing pre-eclampsia at 30 weeks with the closest NICU being 1.5 hours away seemed stupid to her. Not to mention she never checked the severity of my hemorrhoids, for which I had surgery during my last pregnancy with no pain meds and had the worst experience of my life. Recovery from that surgery took over 6 months of painful bowel movements. Pushing a baby out 3 weeks after surgery with stitches still pulling in such a soft area was not ideal. Not once did she offer another solution except for surgery, which I denied due to my past experience. I also did not want to have surgery when my body was already stressed out. This isn't my first rodeo with these complications and my past doctors took these matters seriously, worked toward prevention with half days at work and bed rest and I still ended up with surgery and being induced at 36 weeks. I am showing worse signs much earlier this pregnancy and have been completely ignored and LIED TO by a "professional." Needless to say, I have switched OBs to someone taking me seriously. My request to fax my records to the new doctor was denied, so I drove my printed copies to the new office in Lawton. The new doctor wanted to see me NEXT DAY due to the seriousness. When my husband asked Dr. Rivera's office for the JCMH patient advocate they denied knowing who that person is. He had to walk over to the pediatric clinic to get the contact info which they said they are required to know. The patient advocate is aware and hopefully ignoring cases with such history and worsening symptoms is resolved soon. However I ABSOLUTELY, do NOT recommend Dr. Rivera or her office.
