When I found out I was pregnant I did a lot of research on top doctors in Austin, I was given the names of several well known practices in the Austin area and met with them to discuss their philosophy around pregnancy, delivery and labor. After my consultations, I was surprised that Austin had so few doctors that supported my hope of having a natural labor. After meeting Dr. Sebestyen, I felt so releaved to find someone who was open to allowing me to to do what felt right during my labor as long as my baby and I were healthy. I got to know everyone in the practice very well and felt releaved that they all share the same philosophy. Lisa Carlile delivered my baby this past January and I could not have been happier with the labor and delivery. I felt 100% supported and never felt pressured to use interventions, I was actually the one to request an epidural towards the end of the labor and Lisa and the staff at St. Davids North was very supportive of my decision and did not belittle me or make me feel bad about my decision. I am happy to say that this practice is for anyone who wants to feel in control of their bodies during delivery regardless if they are wanting a natural birth or have the help of medical intervetions.
Pros: Knowledgable, Compassionate Staff
