NEVER USE DR GREEN!!!!

I found out I was pregnant on 09 June 2021, I called to make an appointment with Dr Green on 02 July 2021 as she was fully booked. When we went for my first appointment she asked when the first day of my last period was and I said the 05 May 2021. We then went into the next room to do a scan(Which I have a video of). She picked up that I was having twins but she said that there was a concern as the scan is showing I am about 4-5 weeks pregnant(Just a ball of cells still). She sent me for blood tests on Friday 02 July 2021 and then again on Sunday 04 July 2021 to determine whether the babies are growing. She then got her receptionist to call me on Monday morning, 05 July 2021, to come in for the results Monday afternoon which I agreed to. When we arrived for the visit she was on lunch and had to wait (Why make an appointment during her lunchtime) there were about 5 different people waiting for her. As we went in the room we didn't even have time to close the door and she was already bombarding us with the blood results which she said that the hormone levels went up a little bit but not as much as it should and that the Progesterone had gone down. She then said lets do another scan which we did and she picked up one baby measuring 3mm and she said that this one was 6 weeks (a little bean) and then the second baby was measuring 2.7mm and she said this one was 5 weeks and 4 days. She then said I need to go for more blood tests. While I was in the other room changing my boyfriend asked her "so it is still too early to say whether it is good news or bad news" and she rep**** "Yes, unfortunately" when I came out the other room there was only enough time to ask one question and I asked "should we expect bad news" and she rep**** "Yes, Unfortunately" and she said "She will call me with the results tomorrow" Tuesday 06 July 2021 came and that afternoon I received a phone call from Dr Green's Receptionist advising "Dr Green would like you come in tomorrow 07 July 2021 for a D&C" and I asked "Why?" and she rep**** "Dr said that she told you to expect this" so I said I would like to wait. I Then called another doctor at a different hospital as I wanted a second opinion. I had my appointment yesterday with the same bad outcome but he was thorough, did not rush anything, Explain every little thing in detail to me and I was able to ask what ever I needed to and my questions were answered fully. Yes it is the correct outcome but it could have been handled a lot different instead of leaving me so confused with the whole thing. Today 08 July 2021 I receive a phone call from Dr Greens accountant advising me that my medical aid did not pay for the first consultation and asking me if I registered on the maternity program on my medical aid and I responded "I am no longer pregnant" and her response was "Oh Shame, What happened" and I rep**** "I am actually not really happy with the way that Dr Green handled this situation" and she rep**** "Oh well you still have to pay the account" ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! I do not even want to pay the account because it was more a traumatic experience than anything else. I will NEVER recommend Dr Green to anyone. Everyone in that office are very cold towards patients, we are just dollar signs and not human beings to them.
