Kimberly R Faucher

Not an obstetrician!!! I repeat, Kimberly Faucher is NOT AN OBSTETRICS!!!! Know the difference (I didn't)! Dr. Faucher removed my IUD and actively discouraged me from replacing it. (Ostensibly because of the cost. I have Medi-Cal, not to mention my COVID stimulus $$ would have covered the out-of-pocket cost of getting an IUD even if I didn't have any insurance. I rebutted "if I took the pill every day for 10-years it would cost me the same as getting an IUD." The pill makes me a little crazy but I've taken them for at least a year over the course of my life and NEVER paid one cent for any of it.) I have heard that Kimberly is a very skilled gynecologist, she actually saved a friend's life and that is why this friend insisted that I see her when I had a massive cyst on my ovary (which cycled out without medical/surgical intervention). I'd had my IUD 9-10 years, so it seemed reasonable to remove it. I believe that her choice to not practice obstetrics has to do with her religios beliefs, which is totally fine (references to "His beauty all over her office. I might also mention my visits to her office were at the height of COVID ~February 2021 and she NEVER wore a mask in her office. I figured it was fine because she was a private practice and there were never more than three people in the office, but still I was surprised at this because she is a doctor). I am a young woman in need of birth control, and my experience here contributed to an unplanned pregnancy. I miscarried and a source at Howard Memorial asked if I had an OB/GYN. I said I had seen Dr. Faucher, and at this time the ER nurse informed me that Kimberly Faucher does not practice Obstetrics and I should follow up with Care For Her because of this crucial detail. I wish I had understood sooner. Time and time again the doctors orders go against my intuition and aggravate problems while my body is trying to heal itself. Be it antibiotics that mess up my body chemistry, or faulty medical advice, I'm so turned off from doctors it is difficult for me to believe that even basic care is worth pursuing. I haven't had a "primary care provider" since I was a child and I wish I could have more faith in the system so I don't end up going to the ER for basic, preventable medical issues. Bless ????????

Very nice Dr. Very competent.

The worst . Judgemental gives no information didn't even have the curdacy to call back with lab results.

I love Dr. Faucher. She’s very approachable and has lovely bedside manner. I had a complete hysterectomy done by her and had a very easy recovery in record breaking time. With only one day post surgery where I needed assistance and pain meds. She’s an excellent surgeon as there’s no visible scar line across my abdomen. She’s easy to talk to, personable, compassionate/caring and very patient. I had to cancel my surgery several times and she hung in there with me through the multiple re-schedules. She’s very informative regarding everything to do with her care of you. I really like her and feel I’m in excellent hands with her providing my care. Plus she’s an animal person so that’s a wonderful extra plus in her favor. I love Dr. Faucher. She’s very approachable and has lovely bedside manner.
