ob/gyn recs

My GP recommended 2 ob/gyn's as I am considering switching. I want to stay with someone affiliated with White Plains Hospital (for when we start ttc) and I want a woman. The names she gave me are

Dr. Ainsworth in Scarsdale and

Dr. Mcgovern in White Plains

Does anyone have any experience, positive/negative with either doctor? And if you have other recs in that area I'd be happy to hear about them :)

    I saw Dr. Ainsworth as a gyno one time before I moved from Westchester to Rockland, and had a great feeling about her.  She seemed very organized, professional, and attentive.  I would have continued seeing her if I didn't move, although I found a great one in Rockland, too.
  • I think Dr. Ainsworth is part of the westmed group and I can tell you that I do not like that group and am switching after my appt today.

    Tessajd- whos the ob you love in Rockland?

  • Both of them are part of the westmed group (different locations). Can I ask, why you don't like them? You can PM me if you want.

    I'm also considering going back to Dr. Bavaro whom I had liked in the past, but haven't been using.

  • my cousin used Dr. Bavaro and likes her. As for westmed I am just not a fan of feeling like a # in a medical group and not like a person. I havent been able to meet with the doctor yet (only physicians asst.) and to get to speak to a doctor when you call is next to impossible. PAs or nurses call back and that could be 24-48hrs later. They dont know who you are, your forever giving them the same info over and over to verify your identity. I also find that they do not ever seem to run on time.

  • I go to and love Dr. Bavaro.  I do have to say I'm considering switching because I really can't stand that I wait over an hour after my appointment to be seen.  I know that office books multiple appointments in the same time slot. Sad because I really really like her.
  • That sucks Kate. I go to a LARGE group.. MKMG and have never been a number, in fact at today' emergency appointment the nurse who normally works with my doctor stopped into say hi, and check how Jack is.  I also go to 2 different offices and get the same treatment at both.

  • I go to WestMed and I don't have any complaints. I started seeing Dr. McGovern and she was very nice. She makes you wait though. I met some of the other doctors since we don't know who will be on call that day.  I'm very satisfied with the group.
  • I love ainsworth.  I've been going to them since i was 16, so about 1/2 my life.  Sadly she wasn't on call when I went into labor with MJ but Dr. Meyer was great as well.  I've had nothing but good experiences with them, which is why I stayed with them even after moving to Orange County,

  • I see Dr Bavaro in WP. She is pretty good IMO not as great as a Dr I had in the Bronx but I am not traveling down there for OB/GYN

    And yea I hate waiting for my appt there. It takes WAY too long. It's ridiculous when she looks at me for what 5 minutes and leaves in a rush.

    Dr. Peter Simonson, who is affiliated with Good Sam.  I chose him because he had great online reviews, and I know there are other nesties who love him as well.  I am just started my second tri and am very pleased with his care.
