  • Seeking recommendations on caring, competent Ob/gyn doctors

    I am currently trying to conceive (been trying for 4 months as of the date of this post) and am looking for recommendations on caring ob/gyn doctors. I am looking for a ob/gyn who has good bedside manner and is warm, patient, and experienced. Specialty in fertility and endometriosis is a plus, as I have endometriosis and had an ovarian cyst removed laparoscopically in January 2016. I have had a number of negative experiences with several ob/gyn docs and I'd like to find someone caring and competent soon. Thank you!

    Cheruba Prabakar.  BEST bedside manner I've ever had and an excellent doctor.

    It's a bit of a drive, but I can't recommend Dr. Brian DeMuth in Greenbrae highly enough (Marin County, so he works out of Marin General)!

    He is kind, competent, caring, professional, smart.

    I ended up with a C-section after 23 hours in labor and he came back to the hospital on his one night off in a week to be with me in the OR with the OB/GYN who was on call for him (also another great Doc, Gerry Wilner). 

    Dr. Demuth's nurse practitioner, Marlene, is also a gem.

    Not sure where you live, but thought I'd jump in with that recommendation.

    Good luck!

  • Looking for Kind and Compassionate Ob/Gyn MD, NP, or Midwife

    Hello,

    I recently switched from Kaiser to Anthem Blue Cross and am looking for an Ob/gyn located somewhere between Pinole and Berkeley. I am a very sensitive person (which can be both a strength and a challenge) who doesn't like going to the doctor/traditional medical facilities and I have some anxiety related to that. Does anyone know of any particularly kind, compassionate, supportive and understanding ob/gyns in a more relaxing setting nearby to work with during pregnancy and childbirth? Open to an MD, NP or midwife. Thank you in advance!

    I recommend the midwives at Pacifica Family Maternity Center (http://www.pacificamaternity.com/). Such a beautiful and calming place and I don't think you can get better prenatal, birth, and postpartum care than what they provide. http://www.pacificamaternity.com/

    I'd recommend Michelle Borok http://michelleborok.com/nourish/. She is an incredible midwife we used in the birth of our kid. She also works with a biller that might get you a reimbursement from Anthem. Best of luck!

    Dr Tracy White takes Blue Cross Anthem. She's fantastic!
