:: Who is your Ob/Gyn and why do you love them? ::
I see Dr. Laura Meritt and she is wonderful and thoughtful and caring. I also see Wendy McGuinty (nurse practitioner) and she is awesome!
Dr. Reuse was great! He was very to the point and wasn’t overly strict on thing you can and can’t do while pregnant. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Rush and Dr. Meadows are wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
I love Dr Schnider. She is very open to all the natural things I choose to do when it comes to my health. She was a wonderful dr throughout my first pregnancy and she is very pro natural birth and Bradley. Unfortionantly my daughter was breach and I had to have a csection she did an amazing job. She is my favorite at Hill Country OBGYN!
Wendy Cutler at North Austin Medical center. She is an amazing ob/gyn. I was blessed to have her during my pregnancy and delivery.
Dr. Kimberly Loar from Renaissance Women’s Group is Awesome, can’t believe she’s not on the list.
Dr. Thoppil is simply the most amazing doctor out there. He has delivered all three of my high risk pregnancies and helped us through many losses. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family. He is the best!
Love Dr Maunder! He is a very patient and calm guy, super laid back but still very professional. I have total faith in his opinion and his abilities.
Dr. Gooch is my hero! After years of suffering needlessly with fibroids, I found Dr. Gooch! He was very thorough and actually listened and my issues are now history.
Dr. Phillips is amazing! I had 1 easy pregnancy and 1 really tough one and he was so helpful and dependable no matter the issue. An added bonus is that he’s really good with the Dads! I’d recommend Dr. Phillips to anyone.
Does anyone have any personal recommendations for birth centers? I am currently trying to decide between OBGYN North’s birth center (I see their doctors on here) and Central Texas Birth Center in Georgetown. Any info would be great! Thanks!
Hi Caite. I can’t speak to those two centers but I can tell you that I had a great experience using the Austin Area Birth Center (I used the South location, but there is a North one as well.) Its run by midwives with a consulting MD, so it’s fairly crunchy granola. I liked it because it put all my prenatal care, classes, and birth in one bundle. It even included pre and post natal yoga, and baby classes for two years. It was a good fit for us, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a natural, health-focused path with lots and lots of education. The midwives don’t pull any punches, so it’s a good place for mamas who are ok with getting advice and instruction on things like nutrition, lifestyle etc. I hope this helps. Happy babying!
I would go to the south birthing center. In the off chance that the birthing center route doesn’t work, the Georgetown hospital is not a place I would wan to go to.
