Help me choose a gyno
So, here's the deal: I've always just seen my PCP for my annual appts, but now that DH and I are close to TTC, I've realized that she's pretty clueless when it comes to that kind of stuff. Because we are close to TTC, I want to see a gyno that delivers at either Baptist Downtown or Baptist South, so that I don't have to change when I do get pregnant. I think that after researching and looking back at prior posts on this subject, I have narrowed it down to either North FL OBGYN at Baptist Downtown (Barnes, Boyd, McIntyre, etc) and North FL OBGYN at Baptist South (VanBennekom, Connor, etc).
Do you go to either one of these? Have you heard anything about either one of them? Anything else you think I should consider?
TIA!

Re: Help me choose a gyno
I have been going to Dr. Brock too and love her. I don't know where she delivers, but if lucky is right, than she is a good choice!
I'm with NFL ob/gyn at Baptist Downtown (Banes, Boyd, McIntyre, Foutz) and I've had great experiences with them so far. I didn't talk about it much on here, but I've been extremely sick with this pregnancy, and they have been wonderful. I was at the point where I was vomiting everything, water included, and they immediately called in Zofran for me. Then when my insurance wouldn't cover Zofran for 30 days (only 21...idk why) they called in a sub and called to check up on me.
Dr. Foutz is new to the practice, she's about 30 and that's who I had for my 1st u/s appt. She was really nice, helpful, and answered all my questions - and there have been many with how ill I've been. I do wish they were at Baptist South just because parking is easier and it's newer, but we're about equi-distance from both places so it's not a huge problem. I just hope I don't go into labor during rush hour
I went/go to VanBennekom's group et al...in fact he ended up delivering James. I liked all the doctors in the group and have been very happy with them. I credit VanBennekom and his time and efforts during my labor of the like I've heard other docs haven't given to me being able to deliver James the way I did...even if it was almost 3 hours of pushing.
I was considering them and I have heard really good things about Dr. Brock but not great things about Dr. Sekine and since whoever is on call would be the dr delivering, I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with that.
I don't know if gender is an issue for you, but I have a friend who's whole familey adores Rasner.
They're pretty much the exact same distance from our house too, which is why I don't care which one I go to. That sucks you've been so sick, but good that you have good doctors! My mom works at Baptist Downtown and has said that Dr. Barnes is really good.

Really? That's interesting to hear about Dr. Sekine. I'll have to remember that in the future. My friend's mom worked with him as an L & D nurse for years and said the whole practice was great but that's coming from the perspective of a nurse and not the patient.
I have used N.FL downtown since 2004. McIntyre delivered Luke. They were wonderful during pregnancy. I had to go in to L&D on a saturday for a NST and Dr. Boyd meet us at the registration desk at 7am. Most physicians would have just had the nurse call with the results.
I really like that they are able to do everything in their office, including ultrasounds.
