Seeking Good OB in Stillwater

I have gone to the Stillwater Medical Group all my life. They all devlier at Lakeview (which by the way has a BEAUTIFUL Women's Center). I don't know if you are interested in a midwife, but Fern Aspen is THE BEST! I have been seeing her for years, through 2 pregnancies and she is amazing. She isn't the "new age hippie" type that some people associate midwives with. She specializes in water births, but I was not interested in that, and I wanted drugs etc and she was totally understanding and non-judgmental (I guess some midwives push drug free labor) She is paired with Dr. Webber so if you need an OB for anything (ultrasound) or go high risk, he takes over. She is so compassionate and talks and talks with you about any concern. She delivered my son 2 years ago and made the experience wonderful. You will feel listened to and understood and love your pregnancy! I am hoping to have a reason (come on baby #3) to go in and see here again in a few months!!! If you want any other info, I'd be happy to email or chat. Good luck! Jennifer

Dr. Ulland is my doctor, and he is great. If she is more comfortable with a female I have heard that Dr. Dean is great too.

I agree with everything Rebecca said about Stillwater Medical Group and Lakeview Hospital. I've had both my daughters there and it was wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I went to Dr Weber for my overall Pre-natal care but I did see a couple others throughout my pregnancies and I've seen others during routine gyn visits. I couldn't have asked for a better dr than Dr. Weber. He was wonderful. Our personalities got along great. I've haven't used midwives there but I have friends that did and they have raved about all of them. Andrea Tipple is also a fantastic OB, lots of energy and excitement about pregnancy. And Ulland is great as well. I haven't seen him for OB care but for the general gyn visits I have gone to him when Dr Weber was on vacation. Anyhow, I think that all the providers at Stillwater Medical are wonderful and she'll enjoy the experience. I haven't heard one complaint from anyone!!!

My recommendation is Dr Bridget Ritter with Stillwater Medical Group. The number is ###-###-####. She is nice, caring, thorough and thoughtful. They're also attached to the hospital.

Good luck,

I've got two stellar recommendations, but first tell her that Stillwater Medical Group and Lakeview Hospital is absolutley fabulous- the Women's Center is amazing and the support staff is second-to-none. That said, Dr. Ulland has got to be one of the best OBs in the state (my opinion). He's been with Stillwater Medical Group for something like 28 years, but he is very up-to-date on everything and doesn't come off as "old." He is also very up on fertility issues and makes you feel very comfortable. I would have never thought I would go to a male OB, but I ended up seeing him when we were TTC #2 and stuck with him sicne I felt so comfortable and so well cared for.

If she is looking for a female, I would recommend any of the mid-wives in Stillwater, but especially Fern. They all have great reputations and really hold your hand (so to speak) through the whole process. They are all a great group of people and your friend will be in very good hands no matter which OB she chooses. Good luck!
