I find it extremely odd what the other posters wrote and now wonder if it is the same person posting again and again. Just to address some of the main issues that were addressed by other commentators: First, he has only 4 children and not 5. Second, he has no partner and there is no large practice; Third, he does not administer the drugs that is an anesthesiologist at the hospital and not the ob. Fourth, he does have an NP on staff. Fifth, my husband and I visited other ob/gyns and he was the only one who did not speak to my husband and I as if we were clueless about the process of giving birth. In fact, he treated us as intellectual equals.
In regards to my birth experience, I was also induced and he let me labor in L&D for over 15 hours before he addressed the idea of c-section. We waited longer and then after almost one day had passed did my husband and I make the decision to go ahead with the surgery. It was a good choice considering the cord was wrapped around my child's neck. At no point, did we feel pressured by him to have a c-section or that we were on "his schedule." Like the other positive reviewers, he visited me and my child almost twice a day and provided very good care.
The only reason why I am giving him 4 stars versus 5 is that he doesn't take insurance and it is a lot of $ to pay up front.
I hope this addresses some of the issues that other people remarked about.
