"This doctor almost killed me back in 2014. I was having classic signs of heart failure when I was pregnant and kept dismissing me, telling me it was normal. I ended up delivering my baby 6 weeks premature. A week later after having my follow up at his clinic, my swelling and shortness of breath got worse. His nurse, Sylvia, told me to take some lasix and eat some bananas and drink lots of water, and the swelling will go away. Mind you, if I would have done this, I would of died from fluid overload. I ended up going to the ER and they rushed me in. I needed a blood transfusion, IV lasix, and had an echocardiogram done. They found that my left ventricle of my heart was only working at 15%. I lost roughly 40lbs of fluid in the week they put me in the CICU. I missed the first two weeks of my babies life because of Dr. Lampkin not listening to his patient, when I specifically stated “I can’t breath” “I can barely walk without gasping for air” “my swelling is at 3+ pitting edema.” Total disregard to my symptoms. Oh and he’s had like 2-3 other patients in the past that had this. You’d think he’d know the signs of peripartum cardiomyopathy. I hope he loses his practice. "

This jackass just abandon his patient who was dialated to 8 cm after 4 hours because she and her husband expressed a desire to not be induced... Such an unprofessional Dr. This should have all been covered prior to this point and should not have been a surprise at all! After reading several of these reviews it's really not a surprise. What a scumbag

I'm so sorry that some people have such a low opinion! I have been with Dr. Lampkin for over 18 years now... working with us through the difficulties of getting pregnant in the first place, he has delivered all 3 of my beautiful children.... with a loving, kind and truly caring heart!! I have felt comfortable with him from the beginning and my husband didn't miss one visit during all 3 pregnancies. He and Dr. Lampkin had a great relationship as well. He has always been open, honest, and to the point. His staff have always been warm, easy to work with and caring. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! Thank You Dr. Lampkin!

Dr. Lampshade is a pathetic joke. He was on call for Hatton (my fiancé's OBGYN) and made nothing short of a complete jackass of himself. I had an electronic cigarette on my person when he walked through the door and before he even introduced himself he threw out accusations that I was smoking marijuana in the room! His ignorance to technology and his complete lack of care and sympathy for the situation of our first newborn in general were absolutely amazing. I've never been so insulted in my life. Furthermore, when I went outside to address the situation with him, he calls security. According to everyone I spoke with after the fact, he is considered a complete joke to the staff. This man should be stripped of his title, and his clothes for that matter, and made to run backwards through a cornfield. For God's sake someone please do this dog a favor and put him down.

I read through some of these about Dr. Lampkin and I completely disagree. First - he doesn't care what kind of delivery you want to do. He will let you decide. He doesn't persuade either way, he just tells you how it is. I never felt any sort of pressure to deliver my kids how he wanted, he always did what I wanted. I don't think he is judgmental either, as I don't think he cares how the baby got in you, just that hes the one responsible for you getting it out safely. But anyway, he's great. I recommend him to everyone. He is funny and his staff is always there to help. LOVE Dr. Lampkin, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Staff is super friendly and is always there to help! Dr. Lampkin delivered my first baby and will deliver my second. He is thorough, listens to his patients and takes time to explain whatever you need explained. He's actually pretty funny which is calming when you are in labor!

I feel like the last comment, given on 5/30 was taken a little far. Dr. Lampkin is a great OBGYN. I am originally from Houston where there a tons of choices for healthcare, this is my third gyno and I finally feel comfortable and like we have an understanding. Lampkin's office and staff are both very nice, his staff is great at relaying info! Huge bonus! My first visit was maybe a 10-15 minute wait, whereas this last visit I waited over an hour and a half... HOWEVER, this is because he sweet nurse squeezed me in for a next-day appointment so I could have my IUD placed. He is my first male gyno and I have never been so comfortable. Give Lamkin a try, ask him anything and don't be shy as he can be quite humorous.

I am not one to get on these boards and write reviews but I feel very strong about doing this and letting others know about my experience with Dr. Lampkin who was the on call Dr for my OB who was out of town. I was having a natural birth and apparently he thinks women aren't capable, healthy or strong enough to do such a thing! He didnt honor me as a woman and during my exam he swept my membranes w/out telling me and made me feel so vulnerable. He is the kind of Dr that makes a woman feel like she is health risk who wasn't made to deliver babies rather than a powerful creation of God who was made to not only create a life but also deliver it! He is the reason women have no confidence in there bodies and what they were made to do! I stood up for myself, fired him and used an attending Dr (Dr. Yeomans) @UMC who looked at me as powerful goddess, he honored me and LOVED that I was doing a natural birth! Women, if you want to know what you are truly capable of DO NOT go to Dr. Lampkin.
