Best Hospital in the Area

My ob is in live oak. His name is Dr. Daniel Valdez. He is on Toepperwein road. He truely is concerned about the comfort and well being of you and your unborn child. My children's dr is Southwest center For Pediatric Care. They are located on Stone Oak. It is kind of a drive but well worth it! The best Drs there are Dr. Daniel Trevino and Dr. A. (don't know how to spell his name. Its something like Aschelmann. If you say Dr. A they know who you are talking about.) Dr. Trevino is an excellent Dr. and Dr. A explains everything to you and makes you feel very comfortable and informed! They both OB & Peds. go to St. Luke's Hospital. Its kinda far but all the rooms are private, the maternity ward if fairly new, your child stays with you the whole time of your stay instead of them taking them back to the nursery(unless thats what you want) and you can choose what and when you want your meals! I urge you to really take the time to take everyones suggestions and set up interviews with all the drs and hospitals. Pediatrician also goes to North Central Baptist. I have a friend who is a ped nurse there. They are good too.

Southwest Children's is a wonderful office. We go to Dr. Purnell, I also like Dr. Jones.
Seven Oaks Women's is the BEST if you are looking for an OB/GYN. I go to Dr. Hedges. All doctors in the practice come HIGHLY recommended. Dr. DelaGarza delivered our baby, she was early and she was the BEST!

Both practices have privilages to Methodist Hopsital in the Medical Center. The hospital is wonderful but the clientile is lacking, in my opinion. I had great care while there.

Lots of people love NorthCentral Baptist in Stone Oak as well as the new Methodist Hospital in Stone Oak.

I'd stay away from University (county hospital) Hospital and NorthEast Baptist Hospital.

I saw dr sauter. He is awesome! I also had some complications with my first son, moved to LV, and then surprisingly got pregnant again (with no dr, no knowledge of hospitals in the area). Dr sauter is awesome. I was soc worried that i would have the same complications in my second pregnacy. I told him about it, and he just said " let's just see what happens, and go from there". He was really good to talk to, answered all my questions, helped me thru postpartum, and other things. He has a calm, laid back demeanor.....and I think that really helped keep me calm. BTW, I had no issues with my second pregnancy, my son was born at 39.5 weeks perfectly healthy!!!!!

I delivered at North Central Baptist and LOVED it. Great staff and great hospital. My OB was Dr. Tammy Murdock, with NE OB/GYN. Their office is attached to the hospital - she was fantastic, and I know a lot of people highly recommend her.

Word of caution - Methodist Stone Oak is a new hospital and I personally know some of the OB staff that were hired on there. I would not deliver at that hospital - no way. It's evident that they don't do background checks.

I see Dr. Heck at 7 Oaks Womens center. You will love her, the only problem is the wait. I usually have to wait over a hour to see her. To me it is worth the wait. I've seen her for both of my pregnancies. I take my boys to ABCD pediatrics in Schertz. I have been very happy with them. I went to two other practices in town with my first son, before finding ABCD. They also have a office in Stone Oak. I think they are building a new office in Schertz. My second one was born over 8 weeks early, so I understand your concern. Best of Luck.

I wish I had an answer about the Dr. question, but my ob/gyn passed away last year- I can tell you that I have had a lot of friends who used Dr. DeLaGarza. I have met her when one of my friends gave birth and she has a fabulous bedside manner. She delivers at Methodist Medical center which is off of I-10 and medical center. I can tell you from experience (3 times to be specific) that they have the best NICU in the city!!!! Good Luck!
