In patients' words
"She took her time speaking with me and was comforting and provided as much information as possible."
— Patient review of Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist"Extremely dismissive and condescending. Any questions felt like a burden, and bedside manner was awful. Left feeling unheard and frustrated, would not recommend."
— Patient review of Dr. Christian Litton"I had an extremely negative experience here with a Dr. Alexandria Betz. I was referred to Dr. Betz to confirm a suspected fetal issue... Dr. Betz was not only unable to diagnose the issue, but I found her to be oddly uninformative and completely unforthcoming."
