Need a New Ob\gyn-2nd Miscarriage in 3 Months and No Support from Dr's Office

I love my doctor. I am currently pregnant with our third. Our second child was born with a very rare heart defect and my OB was the greatest - very sensitive to listening to me and answering questions. She even hooked me up with another mom that was going through the same thing. She is in the West End - at St. Mary's Hospital. Dr. Karen Knapp. ###-###-#### is their number. I've never had a problem with her or atleast her nurse calling me back fairly quickly. However, I know that she is pretty popular and don't know if she's excepting new patients. Anyone in her practice though, I've heard from friends is LOVELY!! Good Luck.

I know you said you wanted to stay in the Westend but the doctor I go to is wonderful. Its James River OB\GYN. The doctor I see is Dr. Smith. My best friend went to him to (after me) and she loved him. He's very laid back and will tell you anything you want to know. I've seen 2 doctors at this office and they are all very nice and willing to help.
Hope this helps you.

First, I am so sorry for what you're going through! Second -- don't fear, there are great doctors in Richmond.

I am a huge proponent of my OB, who I consider one of the best in the city. Dr. Christine Isaacs ###-###-####) works for MCV. She used to be at West End OB at Henrico Doctors, but switched about two years ago to teach. In a word, she's AMAZING. Here are some examples:

--When I was 14 weeks, I was so constipated I couldn't move. She called me every day, called a GI, called her BROTHER, who's a GI, everything. We finally found a treatment that worked, but she was so awesome about tending to me.

--I had a 36-hour back labor that was hellish. I was trying to go natural, and would have had the baby not been sunny-side up. I got to the hospital 24 hours in after excruciating contractions that whole time and I was only 3 cm. Any other dr would have given me a C-section. She stayed at the hospital an extra 24 HOURS past her shift, tried everything, and finally found something that worked so I could deliver vaginally. Honestly, have you ever heard of that?

She sees patients at the Stony Point office Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it's not that far -- just down Parham over the river. I loved delivering at MCV. Parking is a pain, but it was worth it for the medical care. Also, the nurses call you that day.

I hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!

My OB is in Midlothian so I cannot really help you with a referral but I did want to say that I am so sorry you were treated so insensitively. The last few months have certainly been a trying time for you and I pray the coming months will bring you happier times. God bless. :-)
