I will never go back to Dr. Coats. I could of been fixed 3 yrs ago and Im still going through hell because she didnt want to work with another doctor. So she gave me a Hysterectomy absolutely for nothing. Never did her job right. So disappointing!

Dr. Coates is dangerous. Please go somewhere else. Dont deliver your babies at St. Ritas or Lima Memorial because Womens Health for Life has an office/delivers babies at both. I went into the ER at St. Ritas in labor very early. My daughter was breech but 2 lbs and I had my son less than a year before. I was fully dilated. I could have delivered her normally. It was my right to refuse the c section, its called informed refusal. I knew the risks but also knew c sections were just as risky. They immediately wanted me to do a c section and chased my family out. I told the nurse I didnt want the c section and she yelled at me and said I didnt have a choice. Dr. Coates walks in and I say I dont want a c section. She smirks, says Ill be fine and rushes out of the room. The nurse yells at me. I start asking to leave, not allowed. Ask for my family to come back. They were blocked by security. I begged for them not to, yelled for help, and they yelled at me until I gave up. This is consent under duress. This is illegal. Then when I had the surgery my oxygen dropped to high 40s, I woke up and asked if thats normal and no. I passed back out. I hear later I bled a lot from the surgery. Dr. Coates told me. What she said was, I laughed at how much of your blood was on me. Are you kidding? What a psycho. How does she even still work there? And the rest of her coworkers back up what she did. We did our best, they say. They know what she did. I have a t shaped cut also so they did a bad job with the c section. Most doctors will refuse to let me try VBAC because of the way I was cut. Risk of rupture is way higher. I wasnt done having kids. This is cruel. My kids want a sibling but is it worth risking me dying from another botched c section or a rupture? Also they removed my ability to write Facebook reviews so I dont make them look bad. I was about to write this on their Facebook but I cant. Weird. Anyway. Please stay safe, dont use any of these doctors at Womens Health for Life.

Love Dr Coates! She is very thorough and takes time with you so you understand your diagnosis and what needs to be done.

Dr Coats is awesome
