This woman is a beast. She should be in jail. She performed a botched procedure and I should have sued her for medical malpractice

Never mind the staff. I go for Dr. Olah: simply the best. I have had Dr. Olah in my life for over 11 years and she is like my wise and wonderful and fun sister. She is leaving the Wilton office and I'm bound and determined to go with her, wherever she goes. I just have to count on the office to call me back and tell me where she went. If I don't hear back from them today, I am showing up at the office and will talk to Dr. Olah myself. I'm never sure she gets my message...Today is Dec. 1, 2016.

She is unconcerned with my sexual activity. My 1st visit 2 years ago was the last time I was asked if I was sexually active. My answer was No. The closest she has since come to asking about my sexual activity was, "Any boyfriends?" My answer has consistently been No--but I *am* sexually active. She has no idea.
As if that alone is not bad enough, in my most recent appointment with Dr. Olah, she felt the need to shame me for my sexual habits.
I tend to have anxiety about my health, and am overly cautious and nervous about my wellbeing. I believe it is part of a medical professional's job to be sensitive to this type of anxiety. I am also prone to yeast infections, and therefore constantly worry I have one. About one month ago, I went to Dr. Olah for an annual, and was diagnosed with a yeast infection (I was prescribed a diflucan pill and took it promptly) despite having no classic symptoms. My discharge was normal, and I experienced no itching or burning. The only abnormality I noticed at this point was sour discharge, which had been disturbing me for some time. Several partners of mine had pointed it out; I, too, had noticed the sour taste. I have been tasting my own discharge for as long as I've been producing it. Tasting is certainly not off-limits in my book--it is as genuine a manner of perception as looking at, smelling, or touching oneself. I should also point out my discharge has not always been like this. Anyway: others on the internet had complained about this symptom, saying partners were reluctant to perform due to the unpleasant taste. I point this out to prove it is normal to worry about the taste of one's vaginal discharge. Perhaps you see where this review is going.
Fast-forward: today. I meet with Dr. Olah, explaining I am seeing her due to my anxiety about having a yeast infection. The last time I was diagnosed with a yeast infection, I explain, I had no conventional symptoms, and was just there to confirm that my yeast infection had gone. At this point, she was hesitant to perform the simple, fast test, as to her, my peace of mind was not reason enough.
I'll take this chance to describe her tone, which struck me as rude and condescending, as though my being there was a burden to her, the doctor whom I had paid to see for the sake of my health. My mother, who also sees her, has noticed her consistently irritable mood as of late. Ultimately, however, the manner of her speaking is hardly important, and probably subjectively interpretable. The content of her words, in my opinion, speaks for itself.
So, as I sit exposed on her chair, I find myself having to defend my desire to receive a test I'd have performed on myself if I had the reliable tools to do so. I add, believing it to be relevant, that the only vaginal abnormality I've noticed is sour-tasting discharge, which I did not always have. This is an unacceptable observation, apparently, and not reason to perform the simple test, but rather, reason for her to look at me with what I perceived to be disgust and say, "That's not normal." I was pretty appalled at that. My sexual choices are none of her prerogative whatsoever, and what doctor doesn't understand the importance of maintaining trust with his or her patients? I simply replied that I did many abnormal things and felt that her saying that was not nice. Somehow, this spurred an argument between us, which was completely unnecessary. She told me it was not NOT a nice thing to say, as there were no studies about people tasting their vaginal discharge, and she didn't know what to do with that information. Here's an idea of what to do with that information, regardless of whether or not you know what it means: perform the test for which I had come in! Anyway, I told her it was not nice to make such negative comments about my own safe sexual choices, especially as my gynecologist, and that I thought it would be helpful to share my observations. I also added that other people had also noticed the taste. Was that normal? (Still no interest in my sexual activity.) At this, she said, "Fine, how about this: I don't know what to do with your observation." She performed the test and said she'd get it back to me my Monday. I thanked her and the meeting was over. I immediately told my mother about the experience, saying I would absolutely never return. This is when my mom told me that she, too, was looking for another doctor as Dr. Olah had inaccurately told my mother her UTI was bladder cancer.

I am both angry and disappointed with the events that transpired this morning. I cannot believe a gynecologist and a woman would handle an anxious young woman's genuine health concerns by attempting to shame her with the information she had provided in confidence and with the intent of helping diagnose a probable issue. Luckily, as I said, I am very comfortable with my own sexuality, or I imagine I would be feeling ashamed and humiliated right about now. I do not recommend anyone see Dr. Olah.

Love, love, love Dr. Olah. She couldn't be more helpful & friendly. She goes out of her way to make you feel more than comfortable. Also explains things clearly & always gives me free samples which is great... couldn't ask for a better gynecologist. She is a GEM!

I would never change doctors. I think Dr. Olah is wonderful. She makes you feel completely comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. The staff at the front desk is a little unfriendly and they never seem to want to be there, but Dr. Olah is always cheerful. If you ever have a problem she will sit and talk to you to explain what is going on. I never feel rushed when I'm with her, but sometime it is hard to get an appointment with her; probably because she is the most friendly doctor there and cares about her patients.

Rude staff,very difficult to get through on the phone,long waits for appts (up to an hour). Dr Olah is arrogant and has no compassion or bedside manner.Getting information was like pulling teeth. She became my Dr. after another Dr. left the practice.Impossible to get anyone to speak to you on the phone to answer questions or get medical information. I endured painful procedures when there were alternatives. I switched Dr's. after years of being unhappy with her manner and lack of respect and concern

No reminders sent for annual visit. When, and if, you remember, appt not available for a month. So the appt gets later and later. And there are problems with the billing. Overbilled twice.

OMG.. I have never waited on a phone to make an appt as long as this office. One half hour to be exact. I love Dr. Olah but when I called for an appt for an annual exam I was told the following month schedule was not out yet. It is impossible to get an appt in this office!
