Looking for OB who delivers at Everett Swedish

So I'm thinking about switching to a better OB, and someone who is more "middle of the road" - ok with natural/alternative stuff a bit, and who delivers at Swedish in Everett. Any recommendations???

 My current OB was kind of offensive and unprofessional the other day when I said no to a flu shot, I don't want to get any vaccinations while pregnant. This is a strong belief of mine and I just want to be respected, but she really was intrusive and rude about it. I understand she doesn't want anything to happen to me, I will willingly sign a waiver that I refused it, that's fine with me.

And the other thing is, when I asked her questions about some of my symptoms she just seemed annoyed and gave me a look and she wasn't truly listening or giving me helpful answers. I want an OB that cares and can be helpful, especially because this is all new to me, its our first baby.

    I don't believe there is a Swedish in Everett.  Providence Womens & Children is in Everett, or Swedish in Edmonds.

    This is what I thought to. And I think providence is way nicer than Edmonds. I've had two great (non-birth) experiences with the Edmonds hospital, but it is pretty old. Was at Providence a few years back and it was super nice and fancy.

    Yes, Swedish Edmonds is the old Stevens. I had 2 friends have not so great birth experiences there, and I agree about the age.  I had both my boys at Pavillion, as have a lot of other girls here with great experiences. Nice, clean, newer and I like all they do is women/children it is also a level 3 nicu, which is nice incase you need it.

    I don't think there is a Swedish campus in Everett but I just delivered at Providence Medical Center in Everett three weeks ago and the maternity rooms were awesome as well as the nursing staff.  I had my OB care at Millcreek Ob/Gyn and Dr. Welcome and Dr. Steinberg were great.  They always answered my questions and I never felt rushed.  Maybe you could check out there website.

    The nearest Swedish center to Everett is Swedish Mill Creek (although it has an Everett address, off exit 186, used to be a drive in movie theater) and it is only a 24 hour ER as far as I'm aware, otherwise I could have walked there to give birth it's so close. Anyway, I went to Eastside OB and delivered at Evergreen and it was really happy with my experience.

    Thank you all for the suggestions! I didn't know the Swedish we'd seen in Everett/Mill Creek was ER only, that's a bummer. :(

    So I guess now I'm just trying to find an OB that people rave about & love, that is somewhere near our area, and is somewhat "middle of the road" and will be respectful when there's something I'm not comfortable with.

    I assume your located in the Everett/Mill Creek area?  I use Everett Clinic, and see Dr. Jordan but also loved Dr. Banfield who delivered #2.  I am seeing them again this time.  I have never felt doctors or nurses at the Pavillion were unrespectful in my wishes, and I know acouple girls on here had natural births there.  They also do ob at the Mill creek offices, other wise you see them at the Pavillion.
