east metro ob/gyn recs

A friend of mine and I are both looking for a new ob/gyn. We both live in the east metro (Woodbury) and it's important to both of us to have a doctor and/or midwife that would be knowledgeable of and supportive of natural family planning. Any recommendations?? TIA!!

Re: east metro ob/gyn recs

  • Have you tried using the resources at the Planned Parenthood on Valley Creek? I bet they could provide a lot of advice for you.

  • I see Dr. Eric English at Metro Ob/Gyn in Woodbury and really like him.  He was my OB with both kids and is very down to earth.  I know him and his wife through church as well.  I haven't talked to him about natural family planning so I couldn't speak to that.

  • I saw Dr Kelly through Metropolitan OBGYN in Maplewood with DS and both DH and I really liked her. I'm not sure about the NFP though.

    Although I had a great experience with Dr Kelly, I decided to switch practices with our 2nd, who we then lost. On AJplusKev's recommendation, great IRL friend, we started with Fern Aspen a CNM through Stillwater Medical Group. I have yet to meet her in person, but based on what AJ has told me and my conversations with Fern post-mc I am ecstatic to work with her. I think she would be open to NFP.

  • I've used Partners Obstertics & Gynecology in Maplewood on Beam Ave. www.partnersobgyn.com. I've only been there once, but I was very happy with them. I can't speak to NFP as I'm done having kids (tubes tied) but I'm sure they are knowledgeable in that area. I believe all the doctors are female too, which I liked.

    I used to see Dr. Kelly too.  However, I switched to seeing a NP in the clinic because I just was there for an annual exam and it seemed like overkill to see the Dr. (and it was getting difficult to get an appointment with her)  and had a HORRIBLE experience with one of them at the clinic.  It was bad enough that I changed clinics entirely.  I currently see the NP at Comprehensive Healthcare for Women just North of the High school and have liked it so far.  DH and I will be TTC in the next few months and I'm leaning towards finding a midwife because I feel like that may be a better fit for me. Good luck finding someone you like!

    I go there too.  I've had almost all the doctors there between both of my pregnancies and liked them all.  They were very supportive of my charting to TTC.

  • I see Dr. Jennifer Flynn from Metro Ob/gyn. She see's patients in Woodbury and St. Paul. I really like her. Super smart and cares about what her patients need and want. Really can't speak of the NFP, but she was very receptive to my charting.
  • It's always fun to see the east metro recs as I work with many of these docs pretty frequently. I worked with Dr Flynn last night actually, found out we grew up in neighboring towns.

    There isn't really anyone at Metro OBGYN that I wouldn't recommend from what I have seen in the operating rooms with them. That is one really awesome group.

    I have seen Joan and Ann, the NPs in St Paul and Woodbury. Both were great.
