Did Dr. Gindoff leave GW?

[Anonymous]

It was the worst thing I ever did but when you are seeing a doctor for such emotional things you fear hurting your relationship. I will never make that mistake again with a doctor. Since he is gone, I feel better and safer.

What did your partner say when you told him? (or are you single? I did ART as a single person.)

I was a patient of Gindoffs for 6 months. I don't think he was a slime ball. What I do feel is that he let my case fall through the cracks. My nurse was Sandra and she wasn't all that impressive either so the combination of the two of them didn't help. I ended up leaving GWU and going to sgfc due to frustration! In the end I must admit I don't think his approach on my case was wrong - however the emotional toll it took due to what I felt was wasting my time and doing the same thing over and over was grueling. I did have another doctor in jersey (cooper clinic) somewhat agree with his approach but by then I was emotionally spent and moved on to another clinic.

Change doctors.

I didn't have the slimeball experience (not casting doubt at all, just adding my experience to the pile). DH and I both noticed that he was much more respectful of my DH in conversation when we were both present, and he tended to address DH and not me. Our issues weren't male factor, so I chalked it up to his being an ass. We had success elsewhere.

DH was not with me for all the work. He could not be due to work. I do wonder if G was different when there were men present than just woman. I also heard how he treated staff and it was scary. I wonder why many left? Could it have been him? Now I wonder how long he will last at Wash.

He didn't last at Washington Fertility, he was dismissed.

He can't work someplace else after this, right??

At what point does he lose his medical license?

Scary that this man once performed a procedure on me. Ugh.

If you're really concerned about this, you should complain to the licensing board.

You know this for a fact or you're speculating? Seems a bit odd that he would be continuing to work through April if he was fired.

Agree on the speculation.....perhaps there are many trolls out there who are very interested in what Dr. Gindoff is doing these days.

Physician's are contracted, it's hard to break a contract. It's not a cooperation where you can be fired when you're an independent practioner/provider.

My primary physician recommended him for my infertility issues. I read some horrible reviews online and was very unsure about consulting him. As there are always good and bad reviews about each doctor, I decided to see him anyway. My experience has been very good so far. He treats me and my husband with respect, and it doesn't matter if I go for monitoring on my own or with husband. It's hard to believe what you guys are talking about!

I am shocked at all these posts. Dr Gindoff was my doctor and he was the most supportive, available, caring, and knowledgable doctor ever. Melissa was my nurse and she was caring, available and patient. Katherine is warm, professional and caring, and has endured health and pregnancy ordeals of her own, you just don't know about it. I went to 3 other practices, and I felt lucky I found GW, where the interest is to help you succeed not their stats.

Both Catherine and Melissa no longer work at GW though. Such a HUGE loss for the practice, especially Catherine. I LOVED her!
