Hi everyone pretty new to all of this but just thought I would give it a shot.
I had my beautiful daughter 3 years ago at Mission Hospital my OB was Dr. Sara Ramirez. The whole experience was great and so was she. So the time has come again to see her for some issues and I am SO disappointed with the whole practice Ob and Ped. groups at Mission. When I called they told me the next appt. is in 2 1/2 months are you kidding, anyways I have been looking into other hospitals in the area and have been trying to find a new OBGYN just there are sooo many.
So please if you have any recomendations for either Mission Hospital or Hoag please let me know. Preferably I would like Hoag as it is a little closer to me.
Re: HELP!Need new OBGYN!!
I see Dr. O'Toole at Orange Coast Women's Medical Group. She is AWESOME. I waited nearly 3 months to get in for an annual exam and feel like that was well worth the wait. She's now my OB and is an incredible woman. I had a scare last week and ended up in L&D. They were about to release me, but said I should wait a couple more minutes. I then heard her coming down the hall and felt the reassurance that she truly had my health at the forefront. I was very pleased with the L&D at Saddleback last week.
I have four friends who see her as well, which is how I found out about her. Honestly, she is totally worth waiting for an appointment.
Several bumpies, myself included, are in love with Dr Gigi Kroll in NB. www.Newportcenterwomenshealth.com is her Web site. She takes PPO and delivers at Hoag.
I have also heard awesome things about Flora. The nurses at Hoag claim to like these two best, too.
Ditto cstw on Dr. Kroll. I just switched to her with this pregnancy and am so happy I did. She is so awesome. This pregnancy has had issues and her staff, not just her are always available and very unstanding. I seriously cannot say enough great stuff about her. I almost don't want to recommend her anymore because I don't want her to become popular. She only takes PPO.
I have heard great stuff about Dr.Flora as well. I have had experiences with other dr. at Hoag that I cannot recommend.
