I find it offensive that she appears to think that apologies and a payment might be "enough" and that she is undermining all her patients' credibility. (Although I do realise that these quotes may have been deliberately selected to make her look bad.)
Vasu Iyengar was my gynaecologist until she:
a) diagnosed an incurable condition missing that I actually had eczema (optional gynaecological detail),Thanks to Vasu I endured months of unnecessary discomfort. I would not recommend her to anyone.
b) referred me to the person who specialises in that condition in Wellington without telling me that the person's role was as a counsellor,
c) wanted to treat my PCOS following a recipe that ignored my particular symptoms.

I am glad that there are many women who have had positive experiences with Vasu Iyengar. Sadly it does not change the reality of what I experienced.
I quite liked Vasu when I met her.
The only problem is that she was wrong about what was wrong with me and very confidently said the only solution was a surgical procedure I didn't really want.
Fortunately the non-gynae specialist who'd referred me for a second opinion altered my medication by one half pill a day while we were waiting for the procedure and the whole problem went away.
I think that if I was _sure_ I needed a surgical procedure (which would be predicated on it being recommended by someone other than her) she might be a good choice for me, as I liked the way she explained things.
But, as my doctor said at the time, "she's a surgeon" :)
all this is making me very worried about having to go to a gynaecologist in september!
