Nagel Mindy MD

Absolute. Misery.
I saw Beth, an ultrasound tech when I was 9.5 weeks along in my pregnancy.
Instead of asking how I’m feeling, working, eating, exercising, etc… the entire office marched me from room to room signing that I’ll be able to pay, won’t go on medicaid, etc.
There was NO time that actually was spent answering questions I may have had.
Instead, the ultrasound tech spent 20 minutes with my husband and I trying to convince us to do a series of optional tests that would tell us if there’s any genetic problem with the baby — even though I explained that I’m NOT comfortable with that.
Then when my husband left and I waited to get blood tests — the tech beth had the audacity to tell me to go against my husband if I want to, that it’s, «my decision».
This woman can’t be married… or at least not happily. Why would she try to pit my husband and I against one another?
I wrote the office to express my concern and Beth emailed me saying to go find somebody else — that she would recommend somebody — and that she did her ‘job’. If you have medical questions, we gave you plenty of magazines, she coldly replied.
I called the office and spoke to several people, BEGGING for a doctor to call me to answer my questions. I literally sat and begged on the phone. I’m new to this valley and there’s NO other OBG at Aspen hospital besides the two in this clinic, so I’m told.
It got worse. For FOUR WEEKS I tried to get Dr. Nagel or SOMEBODY from the office to call me.
Beth never sent me recommendations on other doctors.
She’s clearly NOT interested in helping patients, but narcissistically defending her abhorrent behavior.
It’s been over four weeks.
If something does happen during this pregnancy and I just sat here for a month not able to get a response from my Obgyn, I can’t wait to bring this practice down.
I’m appalled. I’ve never in my life seen an office PUSH AWAY a patient and say, «go elsewhere, we gave you magazines.»
What’s more — they know that I’ve had miscarriages before and a high risk pregnancy.
They decided NOT to give me the chance to talk to a doctor — and if something happens they’re going to be legally and ethically held accountable as my doctor of record for the past four weeks.
Up until a few days ago I was trying to get an appointment at this god-​forsaken clinic in Basalt. And then I received an email from Shannon indicating that they’ve «FIRED» me as a patient. What’s really lame is that the document they attached said, «patient firing».
This has been a nightmare for four weeks. I’ve tried to get appointments, tried to get the doctor to call me.
I put my trust in Mindy Nagel and her staff told me to F*&K off in no uncertain terms.
Please, PLEASE do not put yourself in this situation with this backwoods bunch of pigs in Basalt.
The pain that Mindy Nagel’s office put me through has literally caused me to consider moving out of the valley to have this baby.
Choices are very limited — but nobody deserves for their pregnancy doctor to refuse to see them or answer their questions.
Please please message me if you know of a quality doctor in the area.
This has been a living nightmare.
