Dr. Barbara Newman, DO

Dr. Newman was my provider for my firdt baby. I regret this decision. She was not easy to talk to. I always felt like I was being judged. She talked at me, not to me. She made me feel like I wasnt smart enough to have a say in my own care and laughed at me when I told her I wanted to try without an epidural. I had a traumatizing birth experience in which she was incredibly rude to me and continually tried to rush me through my labor by saying she was going to perform unnecessary, non medically indicated procedures to move things along. At one point she even told me she was leaving on vacation the next day and if i didnt consent that she was going to leave and not come back. She does know her stuff and my baby and I survived the experience... but that really is the only positives I have to say about her.

She was amazing! She was so helpful and so funny. She always made me feel at ease. When I had to be induced early because of Cholestasis, she was very reassuring and so excited for me. She was wonderful and I will be going back to her even though I moved half an hour away.

As a first time mother I had many questions and Dr Newman usually seemed anoyed or irritated or even irrationally mad at me for asking. Half the time I was there I felt like leaving. She scared me into doing a cervial sweep to induce (twice). She was very unprofessional for my second miscarriage with extreme pain which had been ectopic (I found out 2 years later) and instead misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst at the time! I am only now realizing how lucky I am to have survived her. Unprofessional.

Dr. Newman delivered my first baby, during the actual labor she was fine, but monthly checkups would be a roller coaster. As this was my first pregnancy I did have questions, often I found her to be extremely impatience & condensing. I would leave the appointment telling myself to find another OB, alas I would stay & the following appointment she would be patient and friendly. Don't stick around like I did, find someone you feel comfortable with 100% of the time.

Dr. Newman her office staff have been awesome to work with. While I have already had my children I was having female issues. Took us a few months to figure out what was going on. Her and her staff were always professional and understanding. thank you all so much. R. Matthews

Dr. Newman and her whole office were amazing while I was a patient when I was pregnant. It was my first baby so I was really nervous and scared all the time but she made me feel at ease in her care. While I was in labor and when it came time to deliver my daughter Dr. Newman was calm, professional, yet compassionate and caring. I love her and recommend all of my girl friends to her for their OB and women's health needs.
