Dr. K.

Rick was always wonderful and supportive about the adoption.  To this day, he has never said a negative word about me or my choice, instead he is my biggest champion.  I know that I don't tell him enough, but I love him deeply and he is just who I  need in my life.

I knew that I was pregnant really quickly, because the morning sickness hit in a voracious way.  As soon as the home test said yes, I started freaking out about finding a doctor that knew about RSD and could help me through my pregnancy.  I looked in the phone book and there was one female OB/GYN in Pleasanton, and I figured that I would give her a call and interview her.  When I called I spoke to a wonderful M.A. named Lauren and I asked her if she happened to know if Dr. K. knew anything about RSD.  Her answer shocked me.  "Her mom has RSD, so she is really familiar with it, may I ask why?"  I explained my situation and she wanted me to come in immediately.

The moment that I met Dr. K. I fell in love with her.  She was in her mid thirties and was what I would call an old country doctor.  Down to Earth, easy to talk to and very laid back.  I knew that she was the doctor for me.  We discussed my condition and she said that she would look further into RSD and pregnancy and possible complication, so she knew what to expect and watch out for.

Awesome.
