Looking for Midwives or Great Ob/gyn's in Shreveport

We are using Kristi Michael w/ Pierremont OB-Gyn Specialists (in Willis Knighton Pierremont). She is WONDERFUL! Her staff is great, and you don’t have to wait forever to see the ultrasound tech. Whenever I have questions, she and her staff are just a call away. She will ask what your plans are, and make sure that you get all of your questions addressed. You will always know what to expect. My husband and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her!
All the best with your search

Are you looking for a midwife who works in a hospital or a homebirth setting? There are no midwifes who work in the hospital that I know of but I do know a few midwifes who do homebirths here in Shreveport. Let me know what you are looking for and maybe I can help more.

I reccomend Dr.Jacque LaBarre. I had a ton of gyno problems and went through many ( come to find out) uneccessary procedures. I had a string of bad Drs. I walked into his office unsure. He actually listened!! Throughly examined my records, did an exam, and had to schedule a surgery to save most of my reproductive system within 48 hrs thanks to the other Drs lack of attention. He has since seen me through a very hard battle with time pressed secondary infertility( it was him that found the magic combo rather than the specialist) a hard pregancy, and a hard hysterrectomy. All this at 26. He listened and even when he saw me almost every day for problems with my wound ( caused by the on call doc-my former ob) he was sweet and caring. He delivers at Wk pierremont or Schumpert Highland. His office is in pierrmont.
P.s. Mid- City Pediatrics ( DR. Robert Haynie) are the best pediatricians in town!!

I had dr popwell and he was great he ended up being out of town when i went into labor but i still had him at shumpert over near the state building (cant think the address) and they respected me on my wishes and they were really great and treated me like family.

I really liked my OB. His name is Dr. James Boyd and he is over at Christus Schumpert. He is the only OB in his practice so he has the time to develop a relationship with his patients. His RN is really good too. I felt like both took the time to listen to my questions and I never felt rushed out of the office.He also delivers all of the babies of his patients. I was never able to figure out how he was able to do that because he is the only docter but whatever. I did opt to have an epidural, but that was my choice. He didn't try and talk me into it nor did I feel like he would. I was induced, an idea I wasn't orignally wild about, but I was so uncomfortable (my baby was 23 inches long when he was born and I am not a big person) that I didn't debate him on it when he said how about we take this baby out on Wednesday. When I go to have my 2nd i'll probably try and go into labor naturally but we'll see. I also didn't have a birth plan, but Dr. Boyd is pretty laid back and I found him pretty accepting of any ideas that I had. He is a man of very few words which puts off some women, but I always felt like I was in good hands. Also he delivers at Schumpert, which was WONDERFUL. The nursery nurses were absolutly amazing. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
