Hi everyone! I was hoping that I could get some advise on where to go?! I go to the Allina clinic in Maplewood and I don't care to go there anymore. The staff has been VERY rude to me and I'm just tired of it. (to make a long story short, just because I'm on baby number 4, i guess it means I don't get much care?) any thoughts on where to go?

I went to Partners OB right next to Maplewood Mall for my second child. They were very conscientious. I would suggest Dr. Garalski, although all the doctors are women and very professional. Good luck!
Try Women's Health Consultants! They have offices downtown (which I won't lie is a little bit of a pain), but it is TOTALLY worth it! All of the doctor's are FANTASTIC!!
Take a look at Partners OBGYN (all female physicians) – also in Maplewood just down the street from the Allina Clinic. Dr. Patty Kohls is someone my husband knows by name (he works in the industry) and is a very good physician.

I go to Metro OB-GYN. They have an office in Maplewood, right next to St. John's.
I like my doctor a lot (Amy Kelly), the staff is friendly and accomodating - I just moved here last summer, and I'm due in July, so I haven't delivered yet . . . but so far, it's been a very good experience. This practice was recommended to me by my neighbor, who is an OB herself.
Good luck!
Hi J.,
Congrats on #4. We just found out we're due with #4 in January. I'm a little overwhelmed but trying to get excited. :)
I go to Partners OBGYN (all women's clinic) in Maplewood. You could check to see if your insurance is accepted there. I've been going there for 9 yrs. They helped me conceive when I was having trouble getting pg and then saw me through my 3 pregnancies so far. I'll be going back for this one. I've mostly seen Dr. Votel. Good luck!!
I had my baby in Stillwater and I would not going anywhere else! I had a great OB (and I have seen all of them there and love them all) They all have a great nurse staff and the actual labor staff was amazing. It is more of a hometown feel and they have an amazing womens center.
I've had good luck with Aspin in Maplewood. I've seen both Tori Washington (midwife) and Andrea Brockberg (Nurse Practioner). If you go here only the OBs will deliver your baby and you get the one on call the day you deliver. I've met all 3 OBs and they all seemed nice.
is brookdale too far? i loved the certified nurse midwives at park nicollet. their main location is in st. louis park, but i believe they have an office in brookdale.
you have to be a low risk pregnancy.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! My Ob/Gyn (but only in like a doctor way ;)Dr. Chou and Diamond Women's Center. He's fabulous! He is thourough. He is almost always the one who calls you back when you call with a question. He has called me on a Sunday, from his house just to check on me after I have had a procedure done. Seriuously, He is the best doctor I have ever had. ###-###-#### Tell him Noël sent you. ;)
Oh and he's in Edina.
I'm not familiar with your area, but look for a "womens" clinic. I was using Allina near Springbrook, but was having some isses and felt like they were just "herding" me in and out and not listening (or caring about my concerns). I switched to Allina Medical Women's clinic in Coon Rapids and am so much happier.
I LOVE Partners OB/GYN on Beam Ave in Maplewood. I see Dr. Votel, but Dr. Kohls delivered my first baby and Dr. Waschbusch (sp?) delivered my second. Every doctor I have seen there has been fantastic. The group delivers at St. John's hospital, which has also been great experience. Good luck!
J.,
Are you set on an OB? I see the midwives at Generations Women's Clinic in Shoreview and the office and staff are fantastic. There is also an OB named Dr. Laura France, but I have not seen her, but I am guessing she would be good since the clinic itself is so great. I'm pregnant with #3 and have had great care. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and I am pretty sure they take just about every kind of health insurance. The midwives deliver at St. Johns and St. Joe's... and may deliver at Woodwinds, I'm not sure...
At any rate, I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see the nurse (there are two, they are both great) and usually not more than a few minutes to see the midwife. They do all your labs on site, and have a Ultrasound Tech on site too, who is great (her name is Kim, and she is SO nice!).

I honestly could not recommend them more (I saw an OB in a big office the first time, and this is SO MUCH BETTER!).
