I can recommend one to not go to (I figure that is just as helpful in your search).

Not a big fan of Women First. I went there on a recommendation from two people and I hate it. I should have switched, but I had so many issues in the beginning and thus so many appointments, I felt like I never got a chance to "get away". They have about three doctors I acutally like and about 10 more I can't stand (bad bedside manor). You don't get one doctor, you have to rotate through them all, so it isn't like you can pick the one you like the most.

I have heard good things about Woodward Associates (I think that is correct, hopefully a fellow bumpie can back me up or correct me) they are in Middletown and supposed to be fantastic.

I went to Women's Health in Hershey and LOVED them. They seemed to trip over themselves to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed and had all my questions answered, of course I was high risk, so that may have made a difference.

I go to the center for women's health in Camp Hill. It's the same parking lot as Holy Spirit Hospital. They're great. I love them and I have had many friends who have had great experience with this practice as well.

I go to "Women's Health Specialties" on Nyes Road and love them. They were recommended to me when I moved here by several friends/co-workers, and I can see why. They are in correlation with Hershey Med Center.

Doctor Carp on Linglestown Road near Sheetz. He's great!! Very small office and the only doctor there (which I really like). Most doctors won't let you take pictures of the birth, I had a c-section and he told my boyfriend "OK Matt, stand up and take some pictures!!" They were AMAZING!!! I cried for weeks because I wanted a natural birth (probably more so post pardum), but I'm thankful I can hold on to these pictures since I couldn't hold her for 3 or so hours after birth. I didn't get to see her until she was all cleaned and wrapped up.

If I could figure out how to load pictures agian I would post the one picture (not so graphic one).

I have heard wonderful things about Woodward and Associates. Many friends who go there, and have had babies with them, and loved them.

I second this recommendation! We switched to Dr. Carp when I got PG with DS because his son is one of DH's very best friends and we knew we wanted him to provide our prenatal care/deliver our child(ren). He's awesome! I also like that he's a solo doc, so you don't have to wonder who's going to be on call and delivering you.

I highly recommend Woodward Associates. There is not one doctor there with whom I've had a bad experience....I love them all! The office is nice and if I call in with a question/problem, they get right back to me. You should check them out.

Woodward and Associates!! I have been going there since I was a teenager! Everyone I know also goes ther and it is literally like visiting family each time I go. I have three besties and one of my bestie's mom works there and another of my besties MIL works there. Everyone is so warm and friendly there, Althought I will say that on occasion they have had a nurse or two not so warm and fuzzy (they are no longer there), but everyone else is! I highly recommend them as do everyone I know!! HTH!!!

I used Women's First for both of my pregnancies, and I liked them. However, you have to be willing to meet with all of the doctors, and you won't know who is going to deliver your baby. Of course I had my preferred doctors, but I didn't dislike any of the doctors. They also work with another practice (I believe Woodward & Associates) to make sure all delivery times are covered.
