Rec Obgyn and Reg. Dr. please
Time for a change from both of mine I think.
Re: Rec Obgyn and Reg. Dr. please
Where do you go now? I see Dr. Farhart at NE OBGYN and I reallly like him-?http://www.ne-obgyn.com/
I've also heard very good things about Dr. Murdock if you're more comfortable w/ a female.
I don't have a reg dr. ?
Well I don't really have a regular doctor and I don't know who your OB is currently... but I recommend Dr Elizabeth King at Northeast OBGYN. I go to the Stone Oak office and have no complaints...
She delivers at Northeast Baptist if that makes a difference.

Since Lauren brought up some other docs in the same practice, I have heard great things about the practice as a whole, which is great to hear considering you get whoever is on call for delivery.
Apparently someone I know has seen all of the doctors between having two kids and the second pregnancy having a lot of issues.
My OB/GYN is Dr. Kuhl in the Med Center - priveleges at St Luke's and I"m not sure where else. I've only been with him since Jan when I had an ectopic pregnancy, no OB and 2 crappy ER visits. But i. love him. He's been amazing and didn't hesitate. He's part of the Lone Star OBGYN/midwives. He's older but very up to date and super nice
I planned a homebirth with #1 (and hope to should I have #2) with a midwife - Holly Manzanera who is wonderful. Dr Kuhl was recommended to me by other homebirth moms and midwives as "midwife friendly."
My prior OB/Gyn is Dr. Mary Chang, who works out of Methodist. I really liked her, but she wasn't too thrilled about my going back to my midwife, so I didn't really want to go to her again. but if you're planning a hospital birth, I'd highly recommend her.
I see Dr. Blake Ofobike with the South Texas Women's Heath Center. All the doctors there are faculty at UTHSCSA. Dr. Ofobike is great - but I've only seen her for regular check ups, so I don't know much about how she is with pregnancies. Though I have heard very good things about all of the doctors in the practice, and obviously they're top-notch since they're faculty.
The office is in the Med Center @ Fredericksburg & Datapoint. I'm not sure all of the hospitals that they can deliver at...I know they can deliver at Methodist and University, but other than that I don't know if they can deliver at Baptist, Christus, etc.?
My doc seems to hold back his knowledge or is too passive. The meds I am taking, he just asked the names and said they were fine. He never heard of one of them and said he would look it up. Never heard back from him. Turns out the drug is a level C and I don't need to be taking it while pg. My other idiot regular doctor told me it was a level A but MIL just informed me otherwise! So, both docs I am unhappy with for not catching it or informing me. This OB tells me the bare minimum. For the big u/s, I was not told weight, length, just told she is healthy. I should have thought to ask these things, but he should have told me.
Basically, my gut says it is not enough.
Go with your gut!
Remember, your doctor works FOR YOU. If you're not happy with the service they're providing, find another. You should be 100% happy with your doctor.
So many people are a little afraid to be frank with their doctors, or are easily swayed by the degree and do something they may not feel 100% about. A good doctor will be open to suggestions, new information, and by willing to work WITH you. If you don't feel right about it, find another. Doesn't mean the doctor's a bad doctor for everyone, as different people have different expectations/requirements. Just make sure you go with your gut feelings on this.
