Does anyone go to a private practice OB?

Considering my frustration trying to get appts with a busy practice...I talked to a friend and she recommended her OB. It's a private practice and she recommends him very very highly. It was so much easier getting an appt with this office than the other with SIX doctors!Chat Icon Chat Icon

The downside to a private practice, from what I hear, is that he can cancel an appt at any time, and it happens often.

Anyone have experience with a private practice OB?

TIA!Chat Icon

Re: Does anyone go to a private practice OB?

I go to a practice with one doctor, so far I have seen him EVERY TIME, never have I been cancelled on..I adore him, they did say that I may see the nurse once, but he will not let you go two appts in a row without seeing him. He's very old school in his thoughts, isn't sono happy and is very traditional, but I loooove him, and will take time with you to answer any questions you have!!!!

I go to Dr. Trongone in Manhasset....

My OB is in a practice with another doctor who is only a GYN and does not deliver babies, so essentially she is a solo practitioner as far as OB is concerned. This is my second pregnancy with her and so far I have not been canceled on even once.

My dr is solo and I love him. With this pregnancy he has not canceled at all. With my first he cancelled once.

i prefer the solo doctor- less wait time, more of a feeling like the office knows you...

ive only had 1 cancellation- and i was rescheduled for the next day.

I go to a single practitioner and I LOVE HIM!! He has never cancelled an appt on me and I suspect that he wouldn't unless he had to deliver a baby. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an OB. If you want an awesome OB located in Islip, shoot me an FM! Chat Icon
