Need a Good OBGYN Willing to Do V-bac

I need to find a new OBGYN. I have had four kids (the first three vaginally and the last by emergency C-section. I have never been happy with my OB's bedside manner, but the last birth just put me over the edge. She seemed to keep certain details from me until I really questioned her. I would love to find a new OB who would be willing to discuss V-Bac with me, who isn't going to push C-section just because I have had a previous one. Has anybody here had a successful V-Bac and/or have a great doctor that you can recommend?

What can I do next?

I had my first child via scheduled c-section (10+ pound baby, no traveling plans at due date), and was given the option to try a vaginal birth with my second (ended up the same as the first, 10+ pound baby, no progress toward birth at due date).

My doctors for the first and second were both members of the faculty practice at the OSU Medical Center. The second doc, in particular, was Linbee Sayat. I have had VERY positive experiences with this practice and with OSUMC. I highly recommend both.

I don't know about the V-Bac, but I love Dr. Uma Ananth. Her office is on Knightsbridge, which is behind the Kmart on Bethel.

First, oh my, 4 kids. I bow to you. :) I have trouble with 2. And, I saw on your profile, when they all start whining at once. I can only imagine since my 2 have done this.
Second, my OB with my first was Kingsdale Gynecologic. After all this time, I don't remember her last name. Stephanie was her 1st, I think. I don't know about vbacs, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Everyone I met at the clinic was great.

What about:
Dr. Frank Isabelle
155 Comers Park Dr
Women's Contemporary Hlth Care
Westerville, OH 43214

Most OB/GYN doctors will let you try a vbac but I will say I havent seen many successful ones in my years of OB nursing. I do wish you the best of luck if that's the route you choose to take.

I am not sure about the vbac part but I love my ob/gyn. Her name is Dr. Sabol. Now she is currently on maternity leave but I have dealt with 2 of the other doctors in the office, Dr. Russ and Dr. Sprague (SP?). They are part of Northeast Ob/Gyn and the number is ###-###-####. The office I go to is in Gahanna but I think they have another office, maybe in Grove City. Hope that helps.

I've been going to Comprehensive Women's Care at Olentangy/Knights Bridge Blvd. (location also at St. Anns) for the last 10 years and am very happy. I was given the choice after having my first one c-section. **this is where Dr. Anath is, someone mentioned below. I see Dr. Somani and love her!

I go to Dr. Olah at Columbus OB/GYN & love her. I had my first baby c-section & am now expecting #2 in Feb. She actually pushed for V-Bac, but we decided to go with scheduled c-section for many other reasons.

I also saw Professionals for Women's Health suggested. They were my doctor for the first pregnancy & I loved them as well. I only switched because we live out in Blacklick & their offices aren't convinient for that area. But I know they are supportive of v-bac as well.

Good luck!
