Dr. Laura Baalmann is my OBGYN. She is with Balanced Care for Women. She delivers at St. John's and MOBap. She works with another doctor, Holly Kodner. I absolutely love their practice! It is all women and they all are so nice!
I love my Dr she is alwase avilable to answer questions and will see me if a sistuation arrises. Im high risk pregnacy and have had 6 misscarreges. She is verry good at calming my nerves. Even if its just come in for a quick sonogram to make sure everything is ok. I was hospitalised wt a GI block and she called a spicallest to come in and see me.Her bed side mannor is amazing wonderfull personality.She delivered my granddaughter and has been the gyno for my Doughter in law and my 17yr old daughter as well as my daughter who is Devolmently disabled.I highly recomend Dr Carry cunningham.
I go to Dr. Misty Day. She delivers at St. John's, but I'm not sure if she goes anywhere else. I decided midway through my pregnancy that I want to try to go med-free, and she has been supportive of me in every conversation we've had about it. If I had been specifically looking for a doctor supportive of natural births I'm not sure I would have landed on her, but I AM very happy with how accepting she is of my preferences and I don't have any qualms about staying with her. Really, I don't have anything negative at all to say about Dr. Day. I always come in with my notebook chock full of a million questions, and she really listens and answers each one thoughtfully. I never feel rushed. The office staff and nurses are kind and helpful too.

Dr. Cherese Collins. This is a fabulous practice who supports a woman's wants. They deliver at St. Anthony's and St. John's.
There's a great conversation happening at MomsLikeMe in the Natural Childbirth Group about supportive providers. Worth checking out for more opinions:
