I'm looking for a good OB in Tucson, preferably one that delivers at TMC, since that's near my house.
My GYN recommended Crossroads and Ironwood OB, among others, but I've seen some mixed reviews. Anyone know anything about them?
Also let me know if you have experience with the TMC maternity department.
Thanks for your input!
Re: Looking for Tucson OB
I absolutely love my OB. Dr Ah-Nhi Tran of Adobe OBGYN. Her office is directly across the street from TMC. She delivered my first daughter last May and will be delivering my 2nd in October. Dr Tran listened to all my concerns and addressed every point on my birth plan. She even remembered major points of my birth plan when I called her at 2 in the morning with contractions.
Also I had a great experience at TMC. The newly remodeled maternity ward had opened just before DD#1 was born. I had my own private room which was large enough to accompany several visitors at once. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly I truly felt like I was the only patient they had.
I'm at Ironwood and I loved it, delivered a few weeks ago! My OB is Dr. Beheshti and I appreciate her laid-back, sincere style. This was very comforting to my very anxious-having-my-first-baby self.
I delivered at TMC because I also live very close. TMC encourages you to be with your baby as much as possible, helped my baby rest skin-to-skin on my while I rested, and had great lactation consultants.
One thing I would have done differently is hired a doula to help me with the first 48 hours. July 15 was a busy day, lots of babies, and it took 40 minutes to one hour to get staff attention. I didn't need staff for any emergency needs, I was a little frustrated with breastfeeding and other things that my husband really couldn't help me with.
Rebeccated - thanks for your reply and congrats on the new addition!!
If you don't mind giving a few more details on Ironwood - was your doc open to discussing birth plans and different options? Also did she do the delivery or did you have one of the others in the practice, and if so, had you met that doc before? I appreciate your input!
I also see Dr. Jennifer Hutchsion. She is amazing. I too was a patient of her husband's first, and the entire family does a great job of making you feel valued and important. I highly recommend her.
