[quote=Anonymous]I'm very sorry for your loss and the treatment you experienced.

I've had 3 miscarriages- all at Reiter & Hill- and definitely experienced this kind of insensitivity from them. The worst was when I found out about my most recent loss at a 14 week sonogram. The sonographer knew about my miscarriage history (at this point, 2 previous in the same year) and knew I was nervous. But when she didn't see a heartbeat she was very cold and her exact words were,"there is no heartbeat, the baby is dead. Looks like it died a few days ago. Better luck next time". Then left the room. When she came back I was of course balling. She looked at me like I was a crazy lady - literally did a double take as if she were saying to herself, I can't believe this woman is crying and then said flippantly, "oh right, ya, I guess these can be hard" then went about her paperwork.

Needless to say we will never be going back to them again for pregnancies. So if you are looking for a more compassionate doctor's office, def don't consider Reiter & Hill. (Not to mention they do not know anything about recurrent pregnancy loss, what to test for or how to treat common problems).
