Your Obstetrician Gynecologist Frequently asked questions:

9.  Where will I be delivered?

Another trend is for these large groups is to set up satellite clinics.  That way they can see a lot more patients each day than is available to them if they were at a single location.  Then when it comes time for delivery they send patients into the main hospital, often more than 60 minutes away, where one of their colleagues can jointly take care of all the patients in the group.  It is a clever way to increase business.  Just make sure you are willing to make that drive when you are in labor and that you are willing to be cared for by another physician in the group.

We deliver most of our patients at Sugar Land Methodist Hospital.  We do utilize Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital for over flow and higher risk patients.  We will not abandon your care to someone else.  We will take care of you in either hospital.
