We would encourage you
to establish a primary relationship with one of the physicians
or with one of the midwives. In this way, we will get to know
you and your health care needs. In addition, we will become more
familiar to you, as well. Of course, we realize that this is not
always possible, and you may make appointments with any of us.
After office hours, a physician and midwife are always available
through our answering service for emergency questions and gynecologic
problems.
For our obstetrical patients,
a physician and midwife are always on call for emergency questions,
problems and to attend your labor and birth. In general, the midwife
on call will meet you at the hospital when you are admitted in
labor, and will provide care during labor and birth. The physician
is present if there are problems during labor, and both midwife
and physician are routinely present at the time of the birth.
In most cases, it is the midwife who is the primary birth attendant,
with the physician assisting. Please speak with any one of us
if you have questions regarding your care during pregnancy, labor
and birth. Our goal is for you to have a satisfying birth experience.
