Oh my ob is a man and is in Brisbane.. Gentle soul that he is. That he is my ob is serendipitous. I had been seeing another gyn/ob but he stopped ob, so I had to hunt for someone else. I didn't really do too much research or caling around. I called a GF who'd just had a bub and used her ob. Even though another closer GF of mine had also just had a bub. Didn't get a sense about her ob ( although he is very popular). She got the recommendation from her SIL. My GF didn't really say too much about her ob during her pg or after, but I just got a sense about him and I am so glad, the dear man just seems to have the right demeanour for me. Guess you can tell from my posts about connections, it is very important for me to have a sense of connection with people. I suppose what strikes me the most is just how understanding of m/c he is, and how sensitive to his patients feelings he is. And it's a complete package - his staff are the same, they have never mistepped and put their fot in it, and have always know about my m/c and genuinely ask how I am. I read in another forum when I was searching for comments, that someone thought his reception staff were a bit gruff and unfriendly. Guess I have never found that. I suppose though I have had the chance to get to know them over the past 20 months or so. So to repeat myself, I honestly feel so blessed to have found an ob that suits me. I probably have a good old case of hero worship?
