OB/GYN Recommendations

Hello!

I recently found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant (first time mother). I am hoping for some recommendations for a great OB/GYN in the Seattle area (near capitol hill would be ideal). 

Re: OB/GYN Recommendations

  • I'm with Group Health for insurance, so I elected to work with the midwife group at GH Capitol Hill.  I've met most of them now and so far have enjoyed them all.  I have a couple of favorites, but no one that I dislike. :)

  • You can use the Neighborcare midwives and deliver at Group Health even if you aren't insured through them. They have the lowest C Section rate in the area.
  • I got to Seattle OBGYN in Capitol Hill and the doctors there are wonderful.
    BFP #1 5/16/11 - M/C 5/20/11 BFP #2 7/26/11 - Chemical Pregnancy 7/28/11 BFP #3 8/31/11 - Chemical Pregnancy 9/10/11 (Worst Birthday Ever!!) BFP #4 12/3/11 DD born 8/13 Perfect in every way!! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • When I delivered I was with GH insurance and chose to deliver at their Cap Hill Family Beginnings. I LOVED them. My birth experience wasn't ideal, but it was by no means the Dr or facility's fault. I have heard fabulous things about their midwife group, Dr Deemer delivered my son while joking and talking with me in my panic moments and Dr Flum was fabulous when I had to be evaluated in triage when falling.

    I did use a family practitioner for my maternity care and while I know that isn't always the norm, I loved my decision. He was there every step of the way and even held my hand while getting my spinal. He also was the first to evaluate my son and I loved that because he was going to be his dr anyway.

  • I delivered both of my babies at  Capital Hill GH Family Beginnings.  My main dr. was Dr. Cook, who I loved, but all of the doctors there are GREAT.  I think I saw all of them at least once.  Dr. Deimer delivered my first and Dr. Davenport my second.  Good luck!

  • Thanks for all the recommendations. Sounds like there are quite a few great doctors in my area!
  • The Central Seattle Clinic at Swedish Cherry Hill is great and in the Capitol Hill area. The OBs there are so nice and I love that I can email them non-urgent questions and get an answer either within the same working day or the next day.
  • I went through the midwives at Group Health. They were all super nice and full of very useful information. I loved Diane and Mallory!
