Hi! Not sure if I can recommend this doc or not becuase my first appointment isn't until tomorrow, but Dr. Mostello is supposed to be fantastic.  I have type 1 diabetes and my endocrinologist and diabetes clinical educator referred me to her and said she was the best.  She's listed as one of the  "Best Doctors in 2008".  I will let you know as soon as I get back from the appt tomorrow!  They set me up for a consult at 9, ultrasound at 10, and something else at 10:30.

Hi!  Dr. Mostello was great!  My appt was 4 hours long today....nurse, High-Risk OB, ultrasound, Clinical Diabetes Educator, Nutritionist.  Everyone was great and made me feel like I was the most important part of "our" team.  I have type 1 diabetes so I kinda require a lot of attention.  Ha!  I would highly recommend her!  I had an ultrasound today, no heartbeat yet because I'm not far enough along...so im going back in 2 weeks for another!  She's located right off of Clayton Road.

I love my high risk ob Dr. Bartlesmeyer. He works in a group practice at St. John's w/ 5 other docs i have met all but one and have only disliked one mostly because he really wasn't that compassionate (low people skills he knew what he was talking about though)

I saw the same group that clotho! did while I was in the hospital.  I loved Dr. Sue something.  I'm blanking on her last name right now, but she was great.  She was on-call the night I found out I was having pre-term labor and really helped calm me down.
