Dr. Shilpa Patil, MD

She lied to me about all the malpractice that occurred on my very low birth weight baby at the Oakland Children's hospital. She would tell me that all my research that I did on the importance of nutrition was silly and that my preemie was fine, even though her z-score went from -.18 at birth (30 weeks) to -1.8 in 8 weeks, at 38 weeks. My baby's head circumference went down substantially too, which indicated her brain was affected since she simply did not have nutrition. All the neonatologists in the East Bay area lie for each other and just keep the baby alive. They don't care because it's not their baby but when we find out, they should tell us the truth. People do better with hard facts than uncertainty.
