I am 7 weeks pregnant and trying to decide on an ob. I have always gone to Triangle for gyn. My concern about them is that the primarily use midwives. So I am considering Cary OB gyn. I can't really find any reviews on them, and I'm nervous about trying a new place. Does anyone have opinions/experiences with either practice that they would share?
I highly recommend UNC Family Practice (http://www.med.unc.edu/fammed/for-patients/maternal-childcare - broken link). It's well worth the drive from Cary.
Here is a good link on how to choose a provider: Triangle Birth Network :: Choosing a Care Provider (http://www.trianglebirthnetwork.com/provider.html - broken link)
we had our 2nd baby a week ago. We had same concern about triangle ob/gyn
that only mid wives comes to see. But after the delivery we had to give best
rating compared to our 1st baby experience we had back in California.
Dr. V came for delivery. He is an amazing doctor. They had to use vaccum
assisted delivery device (same case with my 1st kid). Dr V. handled it
very well. I highly recommend him. We had never seen him during our
regular visits but heard good things about him. Now we can say he is
probably one of the best.
I also had both of my babies with triangle obgyn (at that time they only had 2 midwives). Dr. V delivered my first and he was fantastic, I had a 36 hour labor and I was a little stressed! Another doctor delivered my second (which was a very short labor) but she is no longer at the practice.
Anyhow, although I saw stephanie (a midwife) during my regular visits, I filled out on my form that I did not want a midwife to deliver the baby, and that was just my personal preference. I did like Jill, the midwife, but she left the practice while I was pregnant, and I didn't not feel comfortable with Stephanie delivering my first baby.
I chose triangle because the doctors deal with high risk pregnancies all of the time and I figured they would know what to do if something were to come up! I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. V stopped by just to say hello after I had my second baby.
Interesting.....I chose Triangle BECAUSE they have midwives. I have had two midwife assisted births and they went smooth as silk with no interventions.
I'm a Childbirth Educator and I often recommend Triangle for the midwives. Unc Family Practice, The midwives at UNC and the Women's Birth & Wellness Center. The doc's at Triangle are great too.
Good luck!
