Help choosing OB...Health Net HMO... 28 weeks pregnant!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and had a TERRIBLE experience with my current OB... now need to find a new one and am limited by Health Net HMO doctors. Does anyone have any knowledge of any of these doctors? 

Agnew, Richard; Barber, James; Clayton, W; Deyan, Alex; DiRocco, Gregory; Marralle, Tonia; Moniak, Charles; Podlas, Jeffrey; Wheeler, Jonathan; White, Jody

I prefer Newport Beach, but am open to other cities if you know someone really good!

Re: Help choosing OB...Health Net HMO... 28 weeks pregnant!

  • I used Dr. Moniak and really liked him.  He's in Newport and delivers at Hoag and Fountain Valley
  • Also Wheeler was on call in the Hospital.  He saw me one day and I really didn't like him.  Seemed like a jerk to me.
  • You might have better luck with this on the OC Babies board. Can you go to any of the doctors in Newport Beach OB/GYN?
  • I made an appt to see Dr Barber in December and the recs from the OC baby board and online seemed pretty positive about him.

    I initially had planned to see Dr Wheeler but I called twice to make an appt and both times was put on hold for 5+ min before I hung up. After that I decided he wasnt worth seeing, sorry but if your office cant get it together to schedule an appt in a timely fashion I'm not setting myself up for that. 

  • I know of a couple of people who have delivered with Dr. DiRocco and have had a great experience.

    This is the impression I got of him when he was oc for my delivery. My nurse highly recommended him though.

    I go to Dr. Clayton and love him. He just delivered my LO.
