I moved to Maryland from Austin, Texas a little more than a year ago. My OB GYN there was amazing and I was so fortunate to have such a great doctor for the birth of my first daughter. My husband and I are now planning on our second child, but I am still looking for an OB GYN here. My GP recommended a practice but I wasn't really pleased with them. Any suggestions of doctors in the Catonsville or Columbia areas? Anyone or any practice I should avoid?
Dr. Hundley has an office in Columbia, she is from Mercy Hospital. She has been my OB GYN for years. Her office is located just off Route 100.
If you'd like a fellow Texan and don't mind a drive to Pasadena (although he's right off of MD-100), Dr. George Williamson is great!
He's an Aggie and a Red Raider!
(I forgot to mention he works out of Harbor Hospital in Baltimore.)
I have a great one. This is the office I go to but I think he has another one in the Columbia area.

R.,
For my last pregnancy I went to Drs. Esposito, Mayer, Hogan & Associates in Columbia. I chose the mid-wives and couldn't have been happier!
I was extremely happy with my OB for my second child, Dr. Yadav, with Kaiser at the Columbia Gateway office. I don't know if he still (or solely) works for Kaiser, but would recommend him as well.
I was in the military for my first pregnancy, so I don't even remember than nameS of the doctors I saw.
Good luck,
K.
Hi there,
My dear sister in law lives in Austin & we LOVE it there. We go every spring for her bday. :) Anyway, I will get back to you on dr.s I use to go to a wonderful woman dr. in Columbia (near the hospital/ mall area) & I need to call my ex sister in law today & get her name. Also, my mother in law went to a Dr. Berger around Catonsville. I will check those & get back to you. Where do you live here? I have an absolutely WONDERFUL ob gyn in Glen Burnie who I would HIGHLY recommend if you are interested. Easy to find near hospital/ off Crain Hwy. Just let me know which route you prefer & I'll be in touch. How old is your daughter? We have a 3 yr old son & live in AA Co. Take care & best of luck. If you ever want to talk about Austin, let me know. We go to San Antonio every yr overnight as well. :) Take care, S.

Hi R., I live in Pikesville but I go to a great all womens practice in Columbia. My OB-BYN is Leslie Apgar of the Womens OB-GYN Group. There number is ###-###-####. There office is in Columbia but they work out of St. Agnes Hospital, which is located in Catonsville on Wilkens Ave. I highly recommend this practice.
I can recommend two practices in Columbia:
1) The St. Agnes Ob-Gyn Associates/The Women's Ob-Gyn Group (formerly Brandon, Emmerson & Hammond Ob-Gyn Associates)
http://www.beh-ob-gyn.com/
and
2) Drs. Esposito, Mayer, Hogan & Associates
http://www.drsemh.com/welcome.html
They are right across the street from each other, right by Howard County Hospital.
I've been with #1 for four or five years now, and have been very happy with them. Dr. Hammond is my Gyn, and she's fantastic. Had my son with them 12/2005 - you rotate through all OBs for prenatal care, and whoever is on call when you go in for delivery delivers - was Dr. Hammond for me. But I had a great prenatal experience with all of the OBs. A couple of my friends go to this practice too, and really like them. The switched their hospital affiliation from HoCo to St. Agnes in October 2005. I had a great delivery at St. Agnes.
A few other friends are at #2 and rave about that one as well. I believe their hospital affiliation is HoCo.
You might just want to check them both out.
I see Dr.Esposito at Drs.Esposito, Mayer, Hogan& Associates,P.A. I have been very happy there. During your pregnancy, they have in the past rotated the patient around for each monthly visit so that you see a different dr each month. I am not sure if they still do that. They have an office in Columbia and Eldersburg. If you becaome a patient at the Columbia office, you deliver at Howard County General. I have delivered three babies there and the last time I felt as if the care at the hospital had declined slightly but it was still very good. The phone number for the dr's office in columbia is ###-###-#### Good luck finding a doctor!!
