I am looking for a new OB/GYN, preferably one who supports natural childbirth and is willing to see you if you also have a midwife. Any suggestions?
You didn't mention where in the Metroplex you are, but my OB/GYN supports midwives as well as natural childbirth (IF you want it - I did). Her name is Dr Catherine Maxwell-Hees.
Dr Hees is part of a group out of Fort Worth that will be delivering at the new Andrews Women's Hospital over in Fort Worth. She has another office in NRH where I usually see her.
Dr. Fred Cummings in Denton would be a great choice. Also Dr. Douglas Decker in Fort Worth. Possibly Dr. Donna Kolar in Fort Worth as well.
We live in the center of FW, so this is quite a drive, but we believe it is worth it to see Dr Frederick Cummings in Denton. 5 of my children were born with the same midwife, and he allowed her to be present when I needed a second opinion with baby #7. Dr Cummings in not an alarmist and is willing to wait it out if there is a chance that homebirth is still a safe option for you or is available just to be consulted with. We have alot of respect for him. Hope that helps
Tania Lopez and Kathleen Donaldson are WONDERFUL midwives that practice at Harris Methodist Fort Worth. Their number is ###-###-####.
