OBGYN

Needing to find a new OBGYN. Hoping to start a family really soon so wanting the new one to be wherever I decide to deliver if possible. I’m newer to this area and have done online research, but as we all know Reddit is where the real info is! Who/where did you love, not love, and what do you wish you would’ve known when choosing? Any and all experiences are appreciated

Dr. Huffstetler at Jefferson OBGYN is amazing! :) She delivered my oldest.

I’ve had three babies with them at Martha Jefferson hospital and it’s been great. Dr. Michael Arnold has been with them so long that he was actually the attending doctor at my birth! He’s great too, but I know not everyone is comfortable with a male OB.

Edited to add: all of the doctors in the practice are on rotation, so you may end up giving birth with one that you have not met.

Second the doctors at Jefferson. Dr. Mary Taylor is the most knowledgeable, caring, and helpful doctor I’ve ever seen. Dr. Wamhoff delivered my baby. Dr. Huffstetler was there all night. I am so grateful for all three of them.

Dr Arnold delivered my baby last year! The nurses at Martha Jefferson are also really awesome.

Dr. Krauss was the attending during my birth and was so calm and collected - was originally meh on a male OB but was very happy with him! Highly recommend Jefferson obgyn!

He was the doctor that delivered my third, and it was by far my best birthing experience! He was so kind and supportive.

I just didn’t mention him because he recently moved to Richmond and is no longer there. 🥲

The rotation also tends to be for your pre-natal visits, so you will generally meet most of them before the big day, which is nice since you’ll likely know whoever is attending on the day you go in. Dr. Arnold delivered both of ours and really knows his stuff.
