About Amy French, MD
I first approached women's health care as a counselor for rape and domestic violence survivors, as well as working with women with eating disorders. After deciding to pursue medicine, the choice of obstetrics and gynecology was obvious. The birth of a child is the most important day of a woman's life and I still thrill in every birth that I attend. I am also interested in minimally-invasive surgical techniques that offer women more choices in their reproductive health and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. I received my bachelor of arts from Emory University, with a double major in psychology and religion. I completed post-baccalaureate science courses at the University of California, Berkeley. After medical school at the University of Louisville, I completed my residency at the University of Florida. During my residency, I was awarded teaching awards all four years and the Alfred P. Gold Humanism in Medicine Award during my final year. I also won first place at the residency research symposium for my original research on methods of labor induction. I love spending time with my twin boys outside of work.

I am glad you reached out to me about Dr. Amy French. She was very informative about my potential miscarriage of my baby, however the comments she made about my age and what I should do in the meantime before scheduling a D & C were very insensitive. When she gave me and my husband the news of my baby not growing past 6 weeks, we were not expecting this type of news. She made a comment that this should come to no surprise, especially at my age, meaning this could be expected, and although this may be true in a way, this should never be said to a woman at any age. And when I asked her what I should do in the meantime before scheduling a D&C, she said "relax, go home and have a glass of wine". As if finding out about my baby no longer having a life that was inside of me, was something to celebrate about. I have never experienced a miscarriage, and this pregnancy was such great news to our family and we were not expecting to hear that I was soon going to miscarriage. I work in healthcare with physicians, and these type of comments from a healthcare professional are very inappropriate, especially as it relates to a pregnancy. This experience has been unexpected, filled with lots of emotions. After this encounter, I called your other office and had my procedure done with another MD and I had great care. I will never schedule a future OB appointment in your La Mesa office and especially not with Dr. French.

I regrettably do not remember the name of the care provider that inserted my IUD on 8-16-24, but she is the best! She made me feel so comfortable and answered all of my questions. Definitely an improved experience, as this is my 2nd IUD. It was not as painful and I was less anxious.
