High Risk OB/GYN
Once I am released from my RE, do I automatically have to go to a high risk OB because I am having twins?
I am thinking of seeing Dr Kofinas but I also need someone to deliver the babies. Any recommendations in Nassau County? I am on the North Shore.

High Risk OB/GYN
Congratulations! OMG so awesome that you're having twins!
Your RE will recommend you to the OB/MFM of your choice. Just express to them that you'd like to go to a high risk dr. (then state the reason).
I liked Dr. Klein's office in Great Neck (North Shore UH OB/Gyn Assocites). There are a few doctors you will meet there, and they all deliver at NSUH. I liked this practice because you go to them very often, and while I was pregnant with the girls, I was sent to NSUH to their Peri/OB for 4D scans and anatomy scans, etc. No particular reason, just the way it was! I was so lucky, I got to see the babies every 2 weeks or so, as it worked out.
Dr. Klein is a character- sometimes off color, but so so funny. Dr. Marti Gilbert is great, and Dr. Alkasab is friendly. Dr. Sternchos delivered my babies, and I got to know him well 
Good luck!

Depends on your insurance I think and your condition. My insurance didn't care if I saw a maternal fetal medicine specialist even though I wasn't high risk per say so I did just to be cautious and I was VERY happy with my decision.

I did not see a separate MFM, just a high risk OB (Great Neck OBGYN, delivered at NSUH)

Dr.Kofinas is fantastic but if you are going to see him, he will set you up with an ob he works with. You should see him ASAP.

.
No, that does not automatically make you high risk. It depends on other factors, but your obgyn could make the referral.
