Dr. Shannon H Mcgranahan, MD

She is not a good doctor for young, healthy women to see.

I should have gotten that vibe in my first 3 hours o...f waiting to see her. But I figured I should give her a chance, I'd already wasted half of my afternoon in her office.

I went to get a Pap-smear as well as some treatment for a problem I was having. Her professional advice? "Take one of those products they have over-the-counter, like Monistat." She said acidophilus was the only other option. When I asked her about prescription treatment, because I didn't think acidophilus would help, she said there were no prescription treatments available. I work in a pharmacy, and I know for a fact there are at least 3 different medication she could have prescribed.

Not only that, I have atrocious period pains. I explained that to her, and told her I had also taken everything over the counter available. I asked her if there were any prescription medications which would help, and lo and behold, she actually wrote a script. For a drug that I've never seen before. When I asked her if there was a generic available, she said "No, but it's only $68 a month", and gave me some samples. I'm a college student, I don't have that kind of money to spend on medication. I told her that, and once again, she told me that was the only drug she could prescribe.

All in all, although this doctor has great reviews, which is why I went to her, she turned out to be a horrible excuse for an Ob-Gyn. I was disgusted when I left her office. The 3 hour waiting time was enough to get this review, but her actions as a doctor fully warrant this. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. more details
