Help! Moving to Akron/Cleveland area need OBGYN

Hi Ladies, I'll be moving to Akron in July.

I'm looking for an OB that supports a drug free natural childbirth in Akron. I will travel for the right doc. 

Also, in your experience what hospitals supports natural childbirth?  

Thanks in advance!

    Ditto to Paragon. I've used them for all three if my viable pregnancies and they've seen me through a miscarriage as well. I love the midwives and Alice delivered both of mine and was supportive of all my birth plans (and was super excited about us donating our cord blood).

    Depending on where you'll be living, they have several different offices:

    I've read on other boards to stay away from all things Paragon. Were they just being elitist hippies?

    What other boards? I only know from my personal experience and that of my friends. It could be the offices? Between my three pregnancies, I've gone to the Kent, Green and Ellet offices and loved all of them.

    I'm not a big fan of their male OBs AT ALL. But I love the midwives. They are very supportive of whatever you choose. Maybe that's why some "crunchier" moms may not be impressed with them? They're not going to push natural child birth on you, but they are also in full support of it if that's what you choose.

    I have had a positive experience at OBGYN Associates of Akron so far. I've been going there for a few years now since I've moved to the area. I have not experienced pregnancy yet, but I feel confident with Dr. Ellis there when it's time.
