need hospital rec and ob/gyn change!
i just had my oh-so-fun yearly gyn appt. we are not TTC yet, but since i only see her once a year, i asked a few questions. turns out, she doesn't do ob anymore
i don't have any friends in the area to ask for recommendations, so i'm turning to you guys!
i'm in lynbrook....what hospital should i look at?? i haven't heard wonderful things about mercy from patients (family members) that had nothing to do with their obstetrics.
so should i look at mercy? south nassau? any others??
and recommendations for doctors? i do NOT want to go to someone who is too popular because i refuse to wait months for an appt.
feel free to FM me if you don't want to post!

I had a positive experience at Mercy-infact my DD would not be here if not for the docs there. I see Dr. Robert Griggs in East meadow. He is AMAZING!Dr.GRIGGS

I agree about Mercy and South Nassau.
I like Winthrop and delivered my son there. Next I think I will try North Shore cause my ob gave up his practice. I have several names of good mds there. If you like them, FM me.

i don't want to call dr hanauer because from what i've read on here, it's hard to get an appointment. how booked up is she?

I would concentrate on the Doc first. having a good hospital is nice but the Doc is more important. I had a doc who was affiliated with well known hospital and he almost cost us our daughter.

I don't know, I think hospital is just as important as doc. YOu want to make sure they have good facilities incase there is a problem for you or baby. Winthrop has great nicu. N.S.U.H. Manhasset is all round good, except I heard there management is going downhill, so staff may not be too happy.

agreed. I would find a good doc and make sure he/she is affiliated with a good hospital as well . Doesnt matter if the hospital is good if the doc doesnt utilize the services the hospital offers .
So please make sure its a combination of doc and hospital not either or as everyone's experience is different.
Winthrop facilities I heard is great. I also heard good things about NSUH. LIJ I am not a fan-actually left them to go to Mercy and I was extremely high Risk.
another factor is insurance carrier-the quality of care can vary based upon your insurance plan.

agreed. my first [and awful] dr. had one thing going, he used SEVERAL hospitals...one of them being for high-risk pregnancies. my new dr. only uses the hospitals that support high risk so I actually feel reassured that things will move smoothly.
