New and need advice

KaRmaIsTrue

Hello All I've been lurking the past few weeks and I was shocked to find out last week that we are expecting!!!!! Hubby and I currently have a 3 year old named Chace and are ready to begin the journey of parenthood again. I currently live in Maplewood and I was looking for a Dr that delivered out of Morristown Memorial. After I searched and searched online, I found that Dr. Bissinger seemed to have great reviews and I was excited to find out he was accepting new patients. Well today I got my registration paperwork in the mail and I've been assigned to Dr. Metz. I can't find any info on her and I'm a little sad I didn't get assigned to Dr. B. Should I continue to look or just go with it?

Hi!

I absolutely think that you should continue to look until you find the right fit.  IMO, the single most important decision you can make to influence your birth experience and outcome is your care provider.  I think it is important to interview your OB/Midwife and think of yourself as the client or customer, not the patient.  If you'd like a list of questions to ask, PM me, and I can message it to you. There are many fantastic practitioners working out of Morristown:

Dr. Judy Banks

Avalon Midwives

Hackettstown Midwives

Dr. Garfinkel

are some names that might get you started in your search.  Your local ICAN group is a great resource for learning about practitioners in your area.  www.icanofnj.com can help you locate the group nearest to you. 

 

Good Luck!
