Kaiser OB recommendations?

foggycity

hello, new to thisboard!

We are looking for a OB GYN ideally in: Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Castle Rock areas.  Also interested in any Aurora Kaiser experiences.

We'd like someone ideally with IVF pregnancy experience, and "older" 40+ experience to guide us through testing, etc.

 Thank you!

I am not much help with the areas and experience you are looking for.  We went to Aurora Centerpoint for my pregnancy and had a great experience but for the most part it was a "normal" pregnancy.

Dr. Sharmin Reed was my OB and I really liked her.  She is knowledgable and listens to and addresses concerns.  She use to be the department head for quality, but I don't know if that is still the case. My DH, however, was not a huge fan and I think we will be using a different OB if my DH can convince me to have another child.

I had a miscarriage prior to my last pregnancy and saw Dr. Kronbach and really liked him but it was an isolated visit so I'm not sure how ongoing care would go.  I also really liked Dr. Camp when I saw her at the end of my pregnancy and started having blood pressure problems.   

If you cannot find someone with the experience you are looking for, I would try picking whatever office is convenient to you.  Call the 4545 number on your card, select prompts for OB and when you get to someone - ask to talk to the clinic you chose.  Then ask them what docs have that experience.  I don't think the people at the call center know what docs have what specialties. 

Good luck!

I've seen all the OB's at the Highlands Ranch Kaiser and I liked them all. Jodi Gibson was my primary OB for my last pregnancy, so she's who I'm most familiar with. She's very warm, caring, and knowledgeable. I don't know what her level of experience is with IVF or AMA patients though. Both the NP's and other nurses are great at that office too. That location is where my PCP and our pediatrician is too. I can not say enough good things about it. The lab tech's are great, and so are the pharmacy tech's. With Kaiser, I delivered DD1 at St. Joe's and had DD2 at Sky Ridge. I had great experiences at both hospitals. I've only been to the Aurora Kaiser clinic once, to see the chiropractor. So I can't tell you much about that particular location. Are you new to Kaiser? I've had it since I got married and my hubby and I both love it. We've had wonderful care through them and I love the online features they have, like scheduling appt's and emailing your dr. HTH!

Shotzie, wow.  Thank you so much!  Yes, I am new to learning the Kaiser system.  I am glad to hear of both the hospitals too.   We will definitely check Dr. Gibson out.  The whole practice sounds good.

I absolutely, hands down, would recommend Dr. Reed at Aurora Centerpoint.  Both myself and my DH love her.  When we had DD, she working at St. Joe, but not in labor/delivery.  She saw my name on the board and came up and delivered DD.  In fact, I liked most of the Drs. at Aurora Centerpoint.

I am up north, so don't have specific recommendations, but I can say I *love* Kaiser. The online stuff is AMAZING and I love being able to email my doctor about non-urgent things and get answers quickly. I also love, love, love the electronic medical records (EMR) because it means that all of your doctors have access to all of your information, no matter where you go. I had a complex pregnancy and it was a godsend when I was dealing with literally every OB at St Joe's. Good luck!
