Dr. Andrighetti was my OB and she also delivered my baby in 2021 via induction. Not only was she knowledgeable, down-to-earth and assuring but she was also pleasant to be around. She answered all my questions with care and mapped out a clear plan for me as I had gestational diabetes. I love my routine checkups to her office and enjoyed my birth experience with her and the crew. They care about your body, so much so to prevent tear and promote a healthy and safe delivery. I appreciate the time spent with her and would definitely recommend her practice to anyone who’s looking for an OB.

Dr Andrighetti delivered our son on October 23. She was not my OB- and I was very nervous since it was our first child, but she was the doctor on call. When she came in- I knew that I was appointed a professional who not only loved her job, but also respected and cared about her patients. Definitely an "OG". Before my son came out I was starting to feel like I wanted to give up- I was exhausted. But she was our champion and not to sound corny, but her words of encouragement at the end gave me the strength to do that last push. I will never forget the moment when she told me to look down, and handed me our son. I would definitely recommend her as her professionalism and bedside manner was outstanding.

I delivered my baby boy with this doctor 48 hours ago. As a woman of colour, i found her practice to be oppressive and dismissive. I am a highly qualified health care professional, and every time I communicated my birth plan and desires, she continued to dismiss me WHILE I AM IN ACTIVE LABOUR. So much so that when it was time to push, she told me to "stop vocalizing" - literally silencing me and coming out on top as a white woman with power. Overall, I am fortunate that I had an amazing medical team including labour and delivery nurses, an incredible doula, and amazing after care. But seriously, she needs some re training in cultural competence, bedside manner, and empathy. The CPSO will be hearing a written complaint from me as soon as I recover from the obstrectic violence this woman inflicted upon my body and my baby.

Dr A was my OB throughout my pregnancy and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is extremely knowledgeable and it is obvious that she cares about her patients and their babies. I had to be monitored a bit during the latter half of my pregnancy and I always felt super well cared for and was confident I was receiving the best care possible. When it came time for delivery, I chose an elective csection - Dr A was extremely supportive of my choice and even came in to the hospital when she wasnt working to perform the surgery herself. My husband and I felt really lucky to have had such a wonderful doctor for such an important part of our lives. I honestly miss going to appointments with her and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Andrighetti is my gynecologist and was my daughters OB. Not only is she super knowledgeable, but she is also very caring. She diagnosed a serious condition where I ultimately had to undergo a hysterectomy and was nothing but kind, caring and skillful. She certainly does have a bit of an unusual sense of humour and if you are not on the same page, you may not appreciate it at the time. I found her to be light-hearted and made me feel at ease. Again, I can understand that not everyone feels the same when it comes to humour, but lighten up ladies! I can only imagine the serious issues she has to deal with and if her bedside manner isn't what you're looking for, move on. There are a lot of very sad stories that have been shared and the brunt has been directed at Dr. Andrighetti and I understand that when devastating things happen, you look for someone to blame. I know that she gives her 100% every delivery and even refers to the babies as "her babies." Put yourselves in her shoes and maybe show some empathy. The world needs more physicians like her. I'm sorry to all the Mom's who shared a sad story and wish you nothing but peace.

I’m shocked with all the negative reviews. Dr A is one of the best doctors I’ve ever known. She delivered both my kids and I’ve had other procedures under her care. She is definitely straight forward and even sarcastic, but I prefer that over fakes.
I first met her when I was my gf birthing coach and we hit it off right away. Funny thing, all 3 of us where pregnant with only 2 months between each other due dates!!! Anyway, she ended up being the Dr on call when I went into labour with my first. I was only 34 weeks and she was so reassuring, compassionate and had me laughing the whole time. Made my labour much easier I tell you! As soon as I found out I was pregnant again, I made an appointment with her. Again, another premie and she kept me in great spirits with her sarcastic sense of humour. I was so impressed with her that I continued to see her for other reasons. After 5 yrs, I’ll be going to see her again so and look forward to it!
Let’s face it, some personality types just don’t mix well. She was never rude to me and I have referred many friends to her which all love her. I’m sorry that not everyone had a good experience with her but I have a difficult time believing that she treats people disrespectfully. It takes more than one person to effectively communicate. After the first appointment, why bother returning to her if you didn’t like her? Boggles my mind.

Dr. Angrighetti left me in labour for almost 22 hours. My baby was hitting my bladder and my urine bag was filling with blood. She went home fir dinner and then performed an emergency c-section. I have never been the same since.

I love Dr. Andrighetti
I had a phone consultation with her which was on time and she was extremely kind and answered all of my questions. I then had an in person appt on a day of a snow storm and again Dr. A was on time and had great bedside manners and a good sense of humour. She went over the procedure I wanted in detail with pictures and all of the risks involved. At the end if that appointment I had a surgery date booked 1 month from that day. My surgery went amazingly well with no complications and I am very happy and thankful for Dr. Andrighetti and her team!

Arrogant and judgmental! Forgetful too! She treats people in a way that makes them feel stupid or inadequate. Glad that she didn’t deliver my baby girl!
