Anyone Else Seen This OB?

Hi Everyone!!
I may be freaking out a little, but I wanted to see if anyone else had been a patient at St. John OB/GYN associates. I had my first two children with an OB who was in his own practice and has since retired;( Finding a new OB has been harder than I thought. The first one tried to prescribe me a medicine that when the pharmacist called said it would be unsafe to take this early in my pregnancy. So I talked to the OB and she just blew off my concerns (yep, so I immediately left that practice). I found this OB and the staff all seem friendly and caring, but I would feel better if I knew if others had had good experiences with this office:) Any info would be greatly appreciated:) The Doctors in this office are Hartzell, Kuzel, McReynolds, Chari, and White. (Two of them work part-time , I've not heard of this before so I'm not sure if I should be concerned about it).

Thank you so much:)

N.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my question:) I truly appreciate it! I'm going to meet all the doctors in the office and then make a final decision. Most people had positive feedback about these Doctors which puts my mind at ease:)
Thanks,

Nicola

If it is Chad White and Jennifer Kuzel, they are both excellent doctors. I work in the OB field and they have very good reputations. Good luck!

I can't speak for all of the Docs in the practice, but I used to see Jennifer Kuzel for GYN appointments. I found her to be quite distant and, frankly, more interested in the book I was reading than doing a thorough examination. I almost always waited close to an hour past my appointment to see the doctor. She is not someone I would recommend.
Good luck in your search!

I've been with that practice for about 5 years and love them. Hartzell delivered my daughter and Chari delivered my son. If you can see Chari, she's my favorite. Kuzel is okay, but kinda rough with her exams. Dr. White is really great too and Dr. McReynolds is really classy. They all take extra time to listen to my concerns. The nurses there rock too!! While I was pregnant they all learned my name and made sure to speak to me at every visit. I noticed they do that with all their patients. Sandy is Dr. Chari's nurse and is super sweet. You can't go wrong with this group of professionals.

I have used this office, sadly because of insurance I had to leave. Kuzel was my doc through three of my pregnancies and was great! I have also had experience with Hartzell and Chari, who were also great! The only thing is that YOUR doctor may not be the one who delivers your child, as one of them is always "on-call"...if you are able to deal with that then they are a great choice.

I use to go to Dr. White and I thought he was great. I have a lot of friends that also go that same office and nothing but good things. I currently go to Dr. Agosta due to insurance changes but I would recommend Dr. White to anyone. -Hope that helps - J.

I have used these OBs since 1997. Hartzell delivered my first son, Chari delivered my second son, and Kuzel delivered my daughter. Due to insurance issues, I haven't been to the office in about 2 years. I LOVED all of the doctors and nurses at this office. When I moved from Warren to Madison Heights, I still went to their St. Clair Shores office! It was a little drive, but I trust them that much. When I was pregnant with my daughter and closer to Beaumont, everyone thought I was crazy for going to these OBs and delivering at St. John's. I used to be OCampo's patient, but she stopped doing deliveries in 1998/1999. Don't know if she is still there, but she only sees gyno patients.

I have not heard of this OB ... but then again I work for a practice that works out of Beaumont Royal Oak. It is not unusual for dr's to work parttime. Questions you should ask: Do the parttime dr's deliver? Can I get in same day if I'm having a problem? What are your hours? Do your dr's do their own calls? When I go into labor will I have to see a resident on duty? Do I see every dr. during my pregnacy? And most important do you take my insurance? Hope this helps. If you have other questions you need to ask me feel free.

I work in a doctors office and we refer to that office alot. We refer to doctor McReynolds the most. If you want a smaller office we also refer to an office Dr.McCarren. I hope this helps.
