VBAC supportive Doctors in the area?

Hello all I just recently found out I was expecting and immediately went on a search to find a doctor who would support my decision to have a VBACK. I've heard so many great things about Dr.Bowen but when I called I was told they did not accept my insurance:-( I've also heard about Dr. Caligaris but seen that he won't induce and you have to deliver at Christ. Anyone ever been to him to have a VBACK? I really do not want another cesarean section this time around so any info would greatly be appreciated! Thanks everyone in advance!

Never have been to Dr. Caligaris.  However, just FYI, Seven HIlls Womens Health Center supports VBAC.  My doctor told me at my six week check up (and I wasn't even pregnant!) that I would be fine with a VBAC for my next delivery.  They also induce.  They have several offices so you may want to check to see which deliver where.  I know the ones I see in Milford and Anderson deliver at Mercy Anderson.

A lot of drs won't induce with a VBAC because it greatly increases the risk of uterine rupture.

I went to the clinic at Bethesda North and saw the OB on the floor to deliver. I was induced and they also used the Foley Cathedar to ripen my cervix. I had my VBAC in 8 hours!
