Dayton girls-- need an OB rec
I am looking to switch practices before my next pregnancy. I currently go to Dayton OB-GYN and am not happy with something that came up recently.
I would like a practice that has midwives (if anyone knows of any) and a practice that has delivering privileges at Kettering. Any ideas?

At Kettering, I saw Dr. Altman and switched midway through pregnancy because I didn't care for him. He is in the practice that Rachel mentioned. Everything with him seemed very impersonal, and except when my husband came to a couple of appts, he literally backed out the door while asking if I had any questions, and made it feel like he didnt want to deal with it, just wanted in and out. I have heard good things though about the doctor Rachel mentioned. I now go to MVH and use Dr. Horlacher, but you're looking for Kettering so that won't help you much! I hope you find someone you like!
ETA: The Midewin Center in Vandalia has midwives, and I think an OB (Dr. Guy I think). I don't know where they deliver, but it might be somewhere to check out.
Shoot, my doctor is at MVH and I'm not sure if they have midwives or not. Still interested in hearing about the midwifes though!
I have no idea, but the office staff probably can tell you. I really can't say enough good things about him.
I actually had 2 bad experiences (as did my friend who saw her) with Dr. Reddy....she just seemed to talk down to me like I was an idiot and was just not very friendly all around.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Altman at the same practice. LOVED him. I had him from the very beginning of my pregnancy and he delivered DD (an induction) and he was wonderful. I have several friends who all go to him as well and all love him as well.
Huh, that is interesting about Dr. Altman. I liked him well enough personality-wise, but every time I went in there during my pregnancy, he really rushed me to get out and acted like I was holding him up when I 'd ask a question. My appointments were rarely ever more than a few minutes long too, so it's not like I was asking a million questions. I'm glad though that you like him!
