Hi everyone!

I have been searching for a good OBGYN or Certified Nurse/Midwife to start going to now that I am TTC.I would like to be in the care of a good one for when it happens. I live in the Coral Gables area, not far from South Miami... Would love to hear abour your experiences, good or bad...even on the hospitals as well- South Miami vs Baptist?? so I know who to try or who to avoid :)

Main problems for me would be a practice that is way too busy and makes you wait forever for an appt, and then rush you out; or doctors that are just "cold"-- I need someone that actually cares. As per above, I am not set on a OBGYN, started also considering a certified nurse/midwife as I know they can be fantastic and give you more options during labor than doctors.

Thank you in advance for any experiences you can share!!

    If you are open to Mercy Hospital, I loved my experience with Miami OBGYN... specifically with Dr Guell.  He's not my main doctor, but happened to be on call each time I went in to L&D, and his bedside manners are superb!  He def takes the time to talk to you and make sure all your questions are answered.  There are 5 doctors in the practice, so not guaranteed to be at your delivery, but they are all great IMO.  I usually had the first appt in the AM, and my wait was minimal (even with afternoon appts, I never waited over 20 min).  

    I also very much loved Mercy Hospital.  The attention received by all nurses (L&D, Maternity and NICU) was great. 

    I will say though, for the GYN side, the wait is longer.

    GL!

    Dr. Henry Glick, he's amazing.  He's the only dr in his practice and he is always on call, always on time, and very supportive!  Never a wait time in his office (never more than about 10 min) and the girl at the front is always incredibly polite.  They do most of the u/s in office (except for the NT scan, they send you to a different location.) He delivers at Baptist and at South Miami and even called me after delivery between room visits to make sure i was feeling ok.

    Myself and a couple of other ladies here see Dr. Kellogg @ Personal Physician's out of Baptist. I absolutely LOVE Dr. K. I think I only had a really long wait about twice during pregnancy. Both times he was coming otut of a surgery/delivery so he was running late. Otherwise, he was awesome. He's hilarious and pretty laid back. I never wanted a male OB but once I met him I decided to change that. He always remembered our names and once we found out we were having a boy he took note of what we were naming him and always referred to him as that.

    He was there to deliver my son and I will be going back to him for my next one.

    There's another Dr. there Dr. Bestard who I had to see when Dr. K was away and he was really great as well very nice nad super attentive.

    I'm using the big group in South Miami  and they are wonderful. No wait times, 6 doctors ( all of them are great) and ive been sick the entire time and they are always available. Dr. Vizoso and Dr. Hirsh are my favorites!!

    i am pregnant with my first child so i can not comment on my hospital experience but from everyone i talk to south miami is great. the obgyn group that i am seeing is great. the group is called south miami obgyn and is located right next to south miami hospital which i love because you love they will be able to get there quickly when you are in labor. everyone in the group is really sweet and takes the time to answer your questions. the doctor i see the most there is dr thomas horst. hope this helps (:
