O’sullivan Erin A MD

Dr. O’sullivan has been the on-​call doctor at Camelback Women’s Health on three occasions when I’ve called. My wife delivered two babies with this practice (which is amazing except for O’sullivan), and I’ve had to call the doctor on her behalf for various reasons. For some reason, I’ve been unfortunate enough to have her be the doctor on call every time I’ve needed to speak with someone. She’s slow to return pages (I’ve had to call back and have her re-​paged), and she’s not friendly at all. She would probably describe herself as direct. Most people on the receiving end of her directness would probably call her rude.
I’m not sure why her partners or patients put up with her. If it were possible to give no stars, I would.

I went to see O’Sullivan for a 2^nd opinion about other options before deciding on a hysterectomy. Next day, I get a nasty call from her instructing me to rush myself to Good Samaritan b-​cuz according to her lab result, I was chronically anemic, making it sound like I was dying; therefore I needed to undergo a blood transfusion ASAP. I was in shock & asked for time to see who can take me. She Insisted I drive myself (which didn’t make sense). She reported she has reserved a bed for me & my blood units have been waiting since 9am. I arrived the hospital @ 2pm & was sent to my room to WAIT for these blood units to arrive. In other words, an order wasn’t even placed until I arrived. Even worst, it didn’t arrive until 9pm. The whole while I was waiting in the «expensive» private room, the hospital team kept insisting O’Sullivan reported I was there for a hysterectomy. I was even threatened that if I don’t cooperate with the hysterectomy, I would die. I told them I thought I was there for a blood transfusion. After being interrogated for hours, I became to understand getting a hysterectomy would be a «financial convince» for O’Sullivan. I saw my PCP after the transfusion & was told I didn’t need the transfusion. All I needed was daily iron pills. When O’Sullivan’s office called me to «schedule» the hysterectomy, I informed them I no longer want services from O’Sullivan & will be seeking services elsewhere. They attempted 2 more times to schedule a hysterectomy.
Just last week, I received a certified letter from O’Sullivan stating she will no longer provide services for me because I refuse to follow her medical advice. What part of I no longer want her service did she not understand???
She didn’t care for me or about me, she just wanted to butcher me for her financial sake. As if she had a ballon payment due & I could’ve been her ticket. It’s been 5 months since she & her hospital team threatened I would die. Makes me wonder how many others she has victimized.

Dr. O’Sullivan delivered my daughter at Good Samaritan. I hadn’t had any problems with her (besides very long wait times for appointments) up until I was about 38 weeks along. She started pressuring me for an induction, telling me that I was too small and my baby was going to be HUGE. At my 39 week appointment, she convinced me that I «needed» to be induced ASAP and, lo and behold, she was going to be at the hospital that weekend anyway! Coincidence? No, more like convenience for her.
So, apparently my induced labor went much faster than she expected and she was woken up by my baby’s impending arrival and was vocally annoyed by that. I ended up pushing for a very long time and I said at one point, «man it’s so hot in here, I’m so hot!» To which she scoffed at me and retorted, «you think YOU’RE hot? Try wearing THIS (referring to her scrubs and gloves and mask) under these lights.» Um, excuse me? I’m pushing a HUMAN BEING out of my body and you have the gall to say that to me? She then proceeded to cut a HUGE episiotomy on me, which ended up requiring many, many stitches. The resident was assisting her in my repair afterwards, and Dr. O’Sullivan was very rude and condescending to this poor resident. It was very off-​putting and I hope that sweet resident went on to have a wonderful career despite Dr. O.
Needless to say, when I got pregnant with my second baby, I did NOT return to Dr. O.
