Cynthia Vanata was my doctor from 4-9 months pregnant, and delivered my son. I did like the comfortable office atmosphere (it smelled a bit like fresh cinnamon) and the staff was very good about giving me all the diaper bags I could ever need and formula too!

HOWEVER, Dr. Vanata was pushy, inappropriate, and just plain mean at times. She scolded me once because she thought I was a high school girl in trouble. I look a lot younger than I am... but she had my chart in her hands. When she was ...erm.... examining my area, she would make very inappropriate comments such as it's very soft in here! She kept pushing me to take delivery classes when I insisted my husband and I trusted that we could manage without classes.

In the delivery room, she phoned the nurse to put me on sleeping pills when I had already insisted against drugs. I'm sure I could have objected but it's difficult to get angry with the nurse who is just following orders. 20 hours later when she was finally in the office, my husband was telling her that I was in intense pain and felt like I had to push (that means baby time!), but she wouldn't come see me. By the time she came in, my baby's head was already crowning. Whoops! was her response. When I was finally pushing, she gave me an episiotomy without warning. Seriously, no warning at all.

As if all this wasn't enough, I called her two days after my baby's birth to schedule my postpartum visit and when SHE answered (I'm still not sure why the receptionist didn't answer), it took me forever to remind her who I was. You'd think my first and last name would suffice. Then she scolded me over the phone for not finding a pediatrician already (when actually I had, he was at the hospital the day after the birth, and we had an appointment for the next day). I was pretty upset about it, so I decided not to have my postpartum exam with her. I would never

Dr. Vanata was such a GREAT person, she kept my husband and I up to date on all that was going on in our pregnancy and with all the new technology that was going on. My daughter Jennelle Alexis was born a month early on March 12, 2007 but Dr. Vanata was so awesome. When I decide to have another child I will make sure I go back to Dr. Vanata again!!

Dr. Vanata delivered by daughter 7/04. She always has this calm friendly manner about her that allows you to keep your mind straight. She is very caring and takes the time to listen. Delivery at Doctors Hospital was great, especially for someone who had never previously been in a hospital.

She is a really good doctor. She delivered my daughter and did a great job. She checked for every thing she needed to through out the pregnancy. She was friendly and supportive. The Doctors office is really nice and very clean. The nurses assistant was so nice she even came to visit me in the hospital after.
