I scheduled this appointment specifically to see Dr. Slaughter, but the experience felt misleading and unprofessional. Before the visit, the nurse asked if I was okay with Dr. Slaughter bringing in a student—I clearly said no. Instead, a different provider, Addison Zaya (not a psychiatrist), came in without explaining her role or informing me that Dr. Slaughter would not be present. She began asking very personal questions, and I initially assumed Dr. Slaughter would join, but that never happened. I did not consent to being seen by someone else, especially without transparency about their credentials. When I raised concerns, she dismissed them and claimed the nurse never mentioned a name, which my husband confirmed was untrue. As someone in my third trimester, I left feeling misled, disrespected, and emotionally distressed. I would not recommend this practice.
