Midwife

Does anyone have experience with a Midwife.  Since we will be ttc this summer, I am starting to look into a new obgyn.  i like my current practice, just not all the Drs.  the one i dislike the most happened to be the one who delivered L.  I am looking into a smaller practice and the thought of a midwife came up. i really like the idea of one, but im not sure that i can just see a midwife. i would like to see a dr with a midwife on staff.  and if anyone has any recs for a westchester/putnam one, even better!     thoughts?

Re: Midwife

  • MHMG has a Putnam division that works out of an office in PHC.  There are 3 MDs and 2 CNMs (midwives).  I have never met such a wonderful group of OBs.  I'm an employee but I recently became a patient because it was just a perfect match after "doctor shopping".  Good luck in your search and TTC!  If you'd like names and numbers, I can PM them to you. 
  • I have the name of a Dr, he is a solo practice so no midwife.  He delivers at Putnam and is AMAZING!!!!  I have been going to him since I was 15.  His office is in Mahopac.  If you want the number, let me know.

  • nic let me know what you find out.  i am in the same boat- ttc again in summer time and would love a midwife.  (same doc delivered sue and i have the same feeling about her.)   i know phelps in sleepy hollow has a lot of midwives, but my issue with phelps is no nicu, so heaven forbid you need one- baby is carted off to another hospital.  but it would be so nice for me to go to phelps- right down the road!

  • I have no recomendation but wanted to let you know ive seen a midwife in my practice for prob the last 10 years.  I honestly didn't know at first when I was younger.  But she was wonderful. She basically told me that when it came to delivery she could do everything but surgery. She was very down to earth and not the crunchy/granola type that doesnt believe in pain meds, etc..... She didn't end up delivering A (which I was ok with).

    I just found out that she left the practice I was with so Im still debating following her or not.  GL with your search!

  • I delivered VBAC at Phelps 2 yrs ago and had a good experience with a midwife. I specifically didnt look into having a midwife present and was apprehensive about it. But I have to say that it was a very good experience and the midwife who attended on me was Ingrid D.Garcia with the sleepy hollow medical Group. Incidentally my OBGYN was on vacation right around the time of my L&D but the nurses and the midwife were awesome! The OB on duty wasnt even present (and actually on hindsight the OB's presence wasnt really needed as the nurses/midwife knew what they were doing) when I delivered my DD. I am due in another 6 weeks and hoping to have Ingrid on duty during my second L & D :))

    All the best on TTC and finding the right OBGYN!
