Dr. G was my OB with Austin and I was less than impressed. She was ok at best but I really don't like her staff. I transferred my care last fall to Dr. R. When I got my BFP I called Dr. R and was told he doesn't deliver babies anymore. So I said I would go back to Dr. G because I don't want to search. I have been feeing crappy so I attempted to call Dr. G's office, after being on hold forever I just walked up to her office. I work on the 1st fore she is on the 3rd. The front desk wasn't even on the phone, so I left a message for the nurse. 2 hours later I get a call back and was told too bad so sad about my symptoms. So I am super irritated and now I really think I should switch now. Problem is she convienent, but is that a really good reason to stay?

Re: OB WWYD
You have to see her monthly, then biweekly, then weekly. In between, you'll have a hundred questions (or only maybe 50 since this is the second time around). How convenient is it really to go through this irritation and frustration each time?
ETA: I should have signed this, "someone who wished she had switched"

Switch!
I ended up switching providers at 32 weeks because the original provider I had chosen & I didn't see eye to eye & I was no longer happy with the care I was receiving from her (she is a GP). I switched to a high risk OB (I was a high risk pregnancy due to HTN) at the UW & was so much happier. I wish I had switched long before I did. Switching was the best decision I made.
I think you should switch, too! This person is supposed to help support you in your health, baby's health and your best interests. And the fact that you didn't like this person the first time around speaks a lot about how you will likely feel again. Listen to your gut and switch.
I love my OB and feel very confident in his care. You should have the same feeling when you see or talk with your Dr.

Definitely switch. Associated Valley OBGYN is great. I had Dr. Channell but the other docs there are awesome too. Convenience is great but if you are going to wind up irritated after each visit that's not really worth it either.

I have an appointment on the 30th for an ultrasound and an RN visit, and then I see Dr. Kovacs on April 6th. Huge relief. Thanks again for confirming what I knew all along
