I highly don’t recommend Dr. Pattmakom. It was my very first pregnancy and a difficult one from the very beginning. I spotted throughout my pregnancy. I hardly ever saw Dr. Pattamakom. It was usually the nurse practioners. I asked why I was bleeding, their response was, "it just happens." There is no explanation for it. One day I had to go see the Dr. because I was in a lot of pain. The doctor told me it's normal ligament pains. I was insisting on having an ultrasound done, I just didn't feel right. She tells me it's my first pregnancy and all these feelings are new to me and I should not be alarmed. "It's normal" So, what did I do? I listened to the doctor even though my pain got worse. I even went to work the next day. The pain was unbearable and it would come and go. I was thinking to myself, am I having contractions. Because the pain would come closer and closer from eachother. Before I knew it, my co-worker pointed out the pool of blood on the floor, not realizing it was me. They called the ambulance and since my work was close to St. John's hospital I was driven there. They did an ultrasound on me and my amniotic sac was pertruding out of my cervix. I was 5 cm dialated! I was 23 weeks pregnant and gave birth to a 1 lb 9 oz. baby boy. The next 4 months was heartwrenching. My son suffered sepsis, bowel obstruction, hernia, blood transfusions, PDA...the list goes on and on. We almost lost him twice because of the sepsis. My son is 7 now. He is doing well although he has low muscle tone and working on strengthening his core. I know, I know, he is alive and well, BUT he should have never gone through what he went through had Dr. Pattamakom listened to me on my last visit with her. The day after I gave birth, I got a call from Dr. Pattamakom. She told me she was sorry of what happened and she had the nerve to tell me, "From your chart it says that you have been having problems with your pregnancy from the very beginning." Well, duh! It's just now you realized that? Of course I did not say that to her, but I should have. For all the moms who have successful stories with her, consider yourself lucky. Unfortunately I wasn’t.

Dr. Pattamakom and Diesfeld are excellent doctors. They truly care about their patients However, the office staff is very unfriendly, incompetent, rude, and inefficient, and this is the reason why I'm hesitant to recommend these doctors to friends and family. I remember one rude office staff, Patti, calling in my prescription medication at the wrong pharmacy. I was completley frustrated after waiting for hours at the pharmacy where I specifically asked her to order my pescription, the same pharmacy where I always pick up all prescriptions from Pattamakom. After a few hours of waiting, I was told by the pharmacy tech that my prescription was never ordered and to perhaps check another pharmacy in town. It was late at night and I was on my first trimester of my very first pregnancy, and I really needed my medicine. Starving, tired from work, and desperate to get my medicine before heading home, I drove to another pharmacy in town. Sure enough, Patti carelessly called it in at another drug store. No apologies or nothing from the office staff, and I never really made a big deal out of it because I wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with the office since I had no choice but see them during my doctor visits. She did this twice to me (and perhaps to other patients as well) and never once apologized to me. In fact, when I confronted her on the phone, she sounded impatient and angry at me.
Months later, I had to ask help from Catherine with medical records. I requested for her to send my medical records to another doctor. She misinformed me and stated that there was a fee and a 2-week turn-around-time, which surprised me because the last time I requested for this to be done, it was handled on the same day by another staff, Katie. I was later told by Erin that Catherine was misinformed and apologized on her behalf. I was very understanding and asked Erin to follow up with Catherine to make sure this was done ASAP before I see my new doctor in 3 days. A day before my scheduled appointment with the new doctor, I was informed by his office at 4:30 PM that they still have not received my medical records. I called Pattamakom/Diesfeld's office and tried to speak with Catherine, but instead of apologizing and helping me out, she placed me on hold for about 5 minutes, which to me was long time, especially since the other office was about to close and I wanted to make sure they receive my records before my early morning appointment tomorrow. I had to beg another impatient office staff, Julie to help me.
There were more frustrating incidents but these two were the most disappointing encounters I had. I have no complaints about the doctors, but my advice to you if if you're pregnant and looking for an excellent prenatal care, go somewhere else. The office is too busy and rude. You literally have to be on your toes and on their faces to get anything done the right way. They're not sympathetic, patient, and efficient. I personally believe that the office/admin staff is the backbone of any business and it can either break or make the business.
