Corona Life Services

My husband and I found out we were pregnant just a month before my insurance kicked in, in August. I called and got an appt right away. Even though I was married and in a stable home to bring a child, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous. It’s my first baby. When I walked in everyone was very nice. I was feeling a little sick and lightheaded but Jodi made me feel better. We thought I was 10 weeks but when the nurse did the ultrasound, it turned out I was only six weeks. I got to hear my baby’s heartbeat for the first time here. I am now 24 weeks with a healthy baby boy, due in March. Thank you, all, for your services and the peace of mind you gave me while I could get my prenatal care started. I will visit when I have my baby in arms.

I had such a great experience here. Jodi was the nurse that worked with me and she made me feel so comfortable, more comfortable than my dr now! From the second I walked in the door I felt like I was well respected and in good hands. It’s a great place and I recommend it to all!

1 star for the nice RN that assisted me today. TODAY WAS A WASTE OF TIME driving all the way there after a long day’s work, expecting to get some answers on how far along i really am after a positive pregnancy test and irregular periods. I explained my situation over the phone and i could hear the person on the phone ask the nurse named Nancy if she would be able to give me an ultrasound today. They said YES IF i get there by 4:30 and i did get there at 4:15. First of all the lady working there has this b*tchy attitude and not nearly the sweetest person on earth to be working at a pregnancy clinic aiming to help women going through this anxious time of their lives called pregnancy. She doesnt let you finish and talks over you. No matter how polite or courteous i was to her! The RN who spoke to me and asked me about my symptoms was really nice, sweet, smiled a lot, unlike the other lady.
Now on to the real problem, in the end i didnt get what i drove all the way there for, WHICH IS AN ULTRASOUND TO SEE HOW FAR ALONG I REALLY AM. Despite the fact that i have already explained that i bled through 2 cycles with my first child, and that my insurance wont cover my first prenatal visit until 3 more weeks from today which is a lot of time for me to be experiencing this anxiety. The whole point of me coming here was to get rid of that anxiety and now i regret not calling other places prior to going here.
They just made me pee on a cup and used a stick pregnancy test. Which i could have done at home without wasting my precious time driving here after work and leaving my child at the sitter for extra hours. They said they couldnt do an ultrasound because im only about less than 6 weeks, and i told them that LMP date that i wrote was a very light spotting which im afraid is the same thing that happened when i was pregnant with my daughter. I was already pregnant longer than i thought but did not know because i still bled through the first couple of months.
Their explanation was «the person who told you over the phone that you can have an ultrasound if you get here by 4:30 was probably assuming that you were within our strict parameters for an ultrasound which is between 8 – 13 weeks.» DUMB LADY, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO DONT KNOW HOW FAR ALONG WE REALLY ARE BECAUSE OUR PERIODS ARE IRREGULAR AND WE HAV A HISTORY OF BLEEDING THROUGH PREGNANCY??? Thats what i came there for, adjusted my busy schedule for, only for me to end up dealing with an unpleasant, unwelcoming clinic who couldnt understand my situation.
If i were you, a pregnant woman seeking for answers and help, i would go somewhere else. There is assure pregnancy clinic in fontana, pregnancy and family resources in san bernardino, etc! And if you could afford to pay out of pocket while your insurance doesnt cover your first prenatal visit until you are between 8 – 10 weeks then go somewhere else and pay out of pocket. Do not trust this free clinic called Corona Life Services.
I can see in the caucasian lady’s eyes right when i walked in and as she was talking to me that she doesnt have the real heart to be dealing with young pregnant women, let alone show compassion towards her job.
I wouldnt count the nice RN though among the things and people i dislike about this place. She really wanted to help and i could tell her heart is really into helping women, with the way she talks, looks at you with care, and the way she smiles tells you she is meant to be where God wanted her to be which is in healthcare.
