Hi all,
I am 13 weeks pregnant with twins and am in need of a new OB/GYN. The staff and doctor blow me off and aren't a great help - I would really like to stay at Crieighton! Has anyone heard anything on Khandalavala or Fleming? Taggart or McFadden - even though they don't deliver at Creighton? I have never switched OB's before and am very uncomfortable with the situation - Help!!

What can I do next?

I have heard only great things about Dr. Khandalavala and also about Dr. Lisa Rice. The others I don't know about. Dr. Rice is a newer Dr. she came into the practice I believe about 2 years ago. She is a very nice and friendly person. I believe she delivers at Creighton too. I work in the imaging department at creighton so most of my knowledge is hear say, but I have had the opporunity to meet and talk with Dr. Rice. Patients of Khandalavala say nothing but nice things though.

McFadden was my doctor for my last baby who is one now! He is a great dr very smart and can also be a smart ass, but he is fun. It ended up that his partner Dr thatcher delivered me and she was Great too! I love the clinic and all the staff!
Good luck! I totally encourage you to get a dr who will give you the attention you need!!!

I went through so many OB/GYN's and finally by sheer luck I walked into McFadden's office when I was pregnant and didn't know it yet. Anyways, he was the best doctor. He's fun and silly but extremely smart. Took great care of me through two children and made it fun... yet secure. I also had some interaction with his wife/partner and she was wonderful as well. Again very knowledgeable and a great doctor. I would go to them both again in a heartbeat if I decide to have more children. So I recommend them both whole heartedly.

Hi W.,
I have seen many OB's in my time, but the one that impressed me the most, spent the most time with me and really respected my wishes as a woman and mother was the midwives at Methodist. Marilynn Lowe was beyond words and is an amazing woman. I would recommend that at your next appointment, just try them out and see for yourself. Each appointment you can always try someone new. I have never known anyone to have a midwife and then go back to an OB. the number is ###-###-####. I bet you could even ask to visit on the phone before you go in. I have hunted for years and now I would never ever change.

Kay Thatcher (McFadden's wife) has delivered my 2 girls. I have had Dr. McFadden check me when she has been gone and he is so funny. Thatcher and McFadden are both great doctor's...both very nice and thorough.

Hi there! I have had two friends that were the OB social workers there. Both of them swear by Dr. Khan... They rave about him. My best friend had twins and it was a high risk pregnancy and that was her dr along with a perinatologist and she loved him. I saw that some people recommended Dr. Bossert. Please do not use this man. I worked in a hopsital where he had privileges and he is a complete idiot and I would not send my dog to the chauvinist fool. I think you would be hard pressed to find a doc better then Khan...

I've not seen any drs at/affiliated with Creighton, my OB is through Methodist, but I've heard Taggart is good.

I am not sure if you need a normal OB or if it needs to be a high risk doctor since you are having twins, but if it is a normal one you are needing you HAVE to go to Dr. Robert Bossert!!! He is WONDERFUL!! I have referred a ton of my friends and family to him and everyone has nothing but good things to say. His bed side manner far exceeds any doctor I have ever been to and he genuinely cares about his patients. He has an office at Lakeside and also Immanuel. Good luck!

My doctor is Dr. Robert Bossert. He is in the group Kolbeck, Nabity, Bossert and Simmons. They have offices at Lakeside (West Omaha) and at Immanuel (around 72nd and Ames, I think??)He is with the Alegent Healthcare System, but I just love him and that whole group to pieces! The nurses are wonderful and Dr. Nabity ended up delivering my son. They all work together for all of their patients and I would go to any one of them in that group.
If you don't find someone to work with at Creighton, I urge you to go to them. Dr. Bossert & Co are very caring and make you feel like you are their favorite patient!

Dr. Flemming delivered my daughter 3 years ago. I continue to see her now for my yearly exam and pap. I really like her and had no problem with the nursing staff. They were wonderful as well.

I have had Dr. Taggart as my ob for over 5 years and love her. She is friendly and seems genuinely concerned about her patients. There are 2 other doctors in her office, but she tries very hard to deliver all of her patients. The only time I saw another doctor was when she was going on maternity leave. She has a set of twins that were delivered by one of the other doctors in her office.

The nurses are very friendly and actually remember your name. I would highly recommend her!!

If you have to see a specialist, she will probably refer you to Dr. Bonebreak. He is also wonderful. Very funny, friendly, puts you at ease.

Good luck!!

I see Dr. Taggart and LOVE her. The staff is wonderful and are always available if you have concerns or questions. I had to have a repeat c-section and was really nervous about it but Dr. Taggart really put my mind at ease, I really trust her and felt completely safe in her care.
