Did Dr. Gindoff leave GW?

Greg, the ultrasound tech, just had a baby but because he's a man, you wouldn't know.

To me, it doesn't matter if you like a nurse or not...but to comment on the fact that one can get pregnant (and, honestly, you don't know HOW she got pregnant just like any other woman you see walking on the street) is pretty unfair.

We all have our battles even if you can't see them.

I couldn't agree more with this. I get it that it's hard to see her pregnant, but I just think it's so toxic to start begrudging other people their pregnancies and babies. It's not a competition. Her being pregnant doesn't mean you won't ever be pregnant. And I'm a long-term IVFer who has struggled.

Also agree that Dr. Gindoff is a slime ball and GW is better off without him. They'll get through this rough patch and thrive.

Gosh, why does everything think Dr. Gindoff was a slimeball? I had him and thought he was nice. (?)

If you ever overheard him interact with the staff (and you can hear everything when you get a procedure done there), you'd get a pretty quick sense that he wasn't well liked by the staff. The difference between hearing him and the other docs (Dr. F and Dr. D when she was there) was notable. That to me is telling. These are the people that are with him day in and day out.

As for my own interactions with him, they were always rushed and felt very canned -- from the "I'm relating to my patient" playbook that clearly someone had told him to say because he's awkward. He just didn't seem genuine to me at all.

But I do think everyone has a different interaction and he clearly was a good fit for some people.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Gindoff at WFC because he was recommended to me by my primary care doctor when I asked for advice. I was able to make an appointment for this week, but when I just called to reschedule it, I was told that he would no longer be with WFC after April 8. So that was a short tenure. She wasn't able to tell me if he would be moving to another clinic. Now I'm back to square one on finding a doctor. This is overwhelming!

Dr Gindoff did not leave GW by his own choice. Wonder if it's the same story at the other place.

Find another doctor, for sure.

I would love to know the reason!!!

I think slime ball sums it up.

I don't know why he is not liked. I personally think he is a no nonsense person. Not very warm and fuzzy but who needs it? Aren't we all tired of getting unwanted sympathies? I think he gives honest opinion about the case whether you like to hear it or not.

There may be things you do not know, though (behind the scenes)

Heard Dr.G is going to accept patients in DC and Rockville only for WFC

Because he was - he was a slime. If he stayed I would have stopped going there. He made me feel dirty. His comments while doing procedures were crude. Asking if I felt the other doctors were better between my legs and walking out during procedures when he felt insulted. I question if he washed his hands too. I also think Gindoff is posting here as patients because posts read like he used to talk to me. I am glad he is gone and I will not follow him. I would love to contact one of the many nurses I bet he drove away and see what he did to them. He made me feel dirty. I used to hear him when he thought patients could not hear. I should have gone to a supervisor and regret never doing so.

If this is true, I absolutely cannot imagine not reporting this!!!!
