Your Obstetrician Gynecologist Frequently asked questions:

8.  Who will be delivering me?

A current trend in obstetrics is the formation of large call groups.  This would allow the physician to see a large number of patients during the work hours and take some time off during the evening.  We do not think this is such a good idea for the patient-physician relationship.  From the patient's view, why would you invest nine months, your emotions, and your trust in a relationship with your physician only to be treated by a stranger at your most vulnerable time? 

We are proud of the fact that our patients here at the center, are delivered by their physician 95% of the time.  The other 5% (usually during out of town vacations or continuing medical education meetings) are delivered by one other assigned physician.
