Recommend YOUR dr

I'm looking to go to an OB or a regular dr for my annual appts. I went to a midwife for the birth of my son, and I don't think they do regular checkups (correct me if I'm wrong on that one). I do have PCOS and Endo, so I'd like a dr somewhat versed in infertility and possibly more natural treatments to both as we'll be TTC within the next year or two again. Any recommendations?

Re: Recommend YOUR dr

  • Midwives actually do generally do regular check-ups.  I would check into it.

  • I just switched to a new OB clinic as my previous dr was just an internal medicine dr and I wanted to get in with an OB clinic as we'll likely be TTC in the near future.  In any case, I saw a mid-wife for my annual exam.

  • I don't have any OB recommendations, but just wanted to say I also delivered with a midwife and I will be seeing them for my annual appointments as well. If you are okay going that route I would check with whoever was there for the birth of your son. I would highly recommend my midwife clinic if you are interested!

  • I would highly recommend Dr. Lisa Baker with OGI (Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility) 

    I've been a patient of her's for a few years now, and see her for my regular annual exams and physicals, as well as while we were TTC, through my m/c, and a high risk twin pg.  She has been fantastic in all capacities, and many other doctors have spoke very highly of her. 

    While in the hospital on bed rest, I had the opportunity to meet all of the other docs while they rounded, and they were all fantastic as well.  I didn't care for some of Dr. Czerniecki's, philosophies or bedside manner, but maybe we just didn't click personally.

    I see Elizabeth Eckhardt at Fairview Riverside Women's Clinic/Fairview Highland Park.  I really like her.  I treated for PCOS/anovulation with her before getting pregnant.  She went through fertility treatments herself, so it's nice to have someone who is sympathetic.  I like having an OB who spends the time to address my questions, educate me about options, etc. and who respects my choices.  I have also heard great things about the midwives at Fairview Riverside. 

    Good luck!

  • Thanks all. Preg amy & schmood - now I feel silly :) I don't know why I thought they didn't. You'd think they'd say something after you had your baby.

    steph - I am interested, especially if it's close, and your baby is ADORABLE.

     Alisha - Thanks for the rec - I'm fairly certain they don't take my insurance, but I'll look into it again.

    Kate - thanks to you too! That's nearby and sounds almost perfect.

  • I have an OB that I love, but it depends on where you are located.

    He works out of Blaine and Brooklyn Park clinics.  I don't know if that is out of your way or not.

  • I sent you a PM. And thank you, that is one of my favorite pictures of him! It's hard to believe he was only about 5 lbs in that photo:)
