17 weeks pregnant and looking for a new OB/GYN

Nov30Bride

I am looking for a new Obstetrician. The one I have is good, but she is so busy now. Her practice has tripled. She birthed my 2nd child. I just want someone that can give me their undivided attention for the say 5 minutes they actually see me. I usually have to wait anywhere from 35 minutes to 1.5 hours just to move into the exam room.

I am not sure if doctors are willing to take on new clients at this point in a pregnancy. My present doctor is female. I do prefer a female, but I am not at a point to discriminate this late on. Also, I am hoping whomever I find would be willing to do a VBAC after 2 c-sections or at least let me have have a trial of labor first. Another issue is that I am 37, so I will need someone that is a high-risk specialist or that works in conjunction with one.

I live in Metairie, but have no problem with seeing a doctor in New Orleans (east bank).

I see Dr. Deck at Lakeside. He is very friendly and always takes time to listen to me and my concerns. His staff is very professional and nice as well.

I saw Dr. Thomas Kennedy at EJ...his practice was pretty big, they may have a female there.

I've never been pregnant but I see Dr. Ellen Krueger at Ochsner on Jefferson Hwy.  I love her.  She is very busy, but she is really great.  She delivered my niece and my brother and SIL love her too.  My SIL had a very complicated pregnancy, it was always something, but Dr. Krueger was so helpful.  My niece is now two and doing great.  Anyway, I got off track, but there are many doctors at Ochsner that are wonderful.

Dr. Rebecca Perret delivered my son and I delivered naturally (no medication) and she was totally + completely supportive. I think she is very open-minded, so you might want to try her. She is at Touro.

Dr. Carriere on the Clearview I-10 Service Rd., right next to Lakeside Hosp. He delivered my son in April and I absolutely loved him! He is the only one in the practice, but if I had a problem (say when I had a UTI about 25 weeks into preg) they got me in that day. He has late office hours on some days, which worked for me since I was teaching on the W. Bank. Anywho, let me know if you want more info!

Dr. George Morris, IV is Awesome!!!!  He's at Oschner.  His dad is there, too, so make sure you get the "IV".  A bunch of my friends go to him, as well as my sister in law.  He is so personable.  I have been to several OBGYN and he is my favorite by far.

I also have friends that go to Dr. Wild at EJ.  They love her, too.

My sister was high risk due to her age and saw Rebecca Parret and loved her.
