Just moved to Ocala, I just found out I'm pregnant, does anyone know who is the best obgyn, going to need a c-section. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Corina R. replied:
Dr Marquette has a lot too.thats why I didn't go him...and went with Nagda because he was so great with my mother my aunts and my sisters.and he was great with my and all 3 of my babies sucks so many other people had bad experiences. I guess everyone can't have good reviews I suppose:)
Kim E. replied:
Dr Nagda Also did her first emergency c-section... as he was on call that day...he did a great job..if it wasn't for him coming in her room that day and telling them she has to have a c-section..stat, because her blood pressure was sky high..and they allowed her to stay like that through the night. I believe my granddaughter and daughter would not be here..
Shannon G. replied:
I have been to the midwives, delcharco and Dr. Johnson. If I could have I would have gone back to Johnson. I love his practice and can't say enough good about them. Delcharco was awful never even met him and the midwives is under contract with a doctor who has a serious issue with heavy women and bases his opinion on your BMI. Never met him but he scheduled me for an induction based on my BMI score
Caitlyn M. replied:
Trisha Mitchell it's Dr. Botha at North Florida Women's Physicians. Amazing doctor and highly recommend and worth the drive to Gainesville. No OB comes close here in Ocala. I know from experience.
Amanda B. replied:
I delivered both my girls with Dr. Nagda, my sister delivered two of her kids and my mom delivered 3. He also delivered my best friend 30 something years ago and she was pronounced dead and he saved her. Love him!
Marauly P. replied:
Dr. Nagda's delivered both of my kids. Love him & his staff!
Simone T. replied:
Dr Johnson is the all around best
Velma B. replied:
Mrmc is horrible. They almost killed my sister's best friend when she delivered her daughter. Their mistakes put my son up to shands for 11 days. I just had my last baby in November at Seven Rivers in Crystal River with Dr. Sobel. They made this pregnancy and delivery the best experience I have ever had.
Jennifer H. replied:
The only doctor in Ocala I would go to would be Dr. Johnson.
Rachael R. replied:
I love dr Marquette and his midwives... Midwife Tisha is the happiest person alive! Marquette delivered all my nieces, nephews and my daughter. He's a specialist too. But it's a tough job. Anything could happen. I've heard only bad about Nagda plus my family having a lawsuit against him. But in the end it's whoever makes you comfortable, answers your questions and takes your insurance.
Trisha M. replied:
Brittney McKenney Stewart she commented with my name saying the drs name I just know the Dr and nurses before during and after were great
Trisha M. replied:
Caitlyn Gardiner Mitchell who was your dr in gv
Vicky R. replied:
Dr. Marquette but you have to wait too long in the waiting room.
Christiene M. replied:
Dr. Johnson, if he's seeing new patients. I know he's usually full.
Samantha R. replied:
I live in Ocala and go to the Women's Center at North FL in Gainesville.. Dr Carroccio. Love her!
Alexandria P. replied:
Dr. Nagda came within minutes if killing my oldest by inducing me too early, ended up with a c-section and found out 6 1/2 years later when sending my records to shands that her cord was wrapped and he never told me
Melissa S. replied:
Amy Reynolds at the Ocala birthing center she is a midwife and does everything natural.... Your also not in a hospital and when you have your baby she sees no other patients http://theocalabirthcenter.com
Local Mom Question~
Does anyone have recommendations for an OBGYN that accepts medicaid? Thank you.
Carolina B. replied:
Agree with above post Dr. Thompson delivered my two girls
Paula B. replied:
Dr. Thompson is great!
Julie B. replied:
Dr Thompson is awesome! Delivered both my children
Christina F. replied:
Dr. Jennifer Bevins at SWFL Women's Group. She delivered both my daughters and was fantastic. With my first child she actually saved our lives during delivery. She's off Imokalee near NCH.
Lina R. replied:
Dr. Beckett is great ! He also delivered my daughter !
Local Mom Question ~
Who do you recommend for an OBGYN? (new baby on the way!!) Also, please indicate if you know of any that will offer a payment plan until this...
Jaime W. replied:
Dr. Miller at A Woman's Place. She was absolutely amazing!! And they do accept payment plans.
Robyn C. replied:
Dr. Miller in at A Woman's Place. They do payment plans.
Candice B. replied:
Dr Heitmann is the best!
Laney F. replied:
All of these are great recommendations, I'm sure. Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of A Woman's Place, particularly Dr. Miller. The staff can be cantankerous at times, but the amazing doctors make it worth it. We had a health issue with the baby and I cou...See More
Sarah A. replied:
Dr. Gauta at Especially for Women did my 2 c-sections (first one was emergency) Amanda is his PA and is also great. They did payment plans with our deductible. I believe he now has at least one midwife on staff as well.
Bethany J. replied:
Dr. Bevins delivered my son. I'm familiar with the majority of the OB's in the area and I also agree with Heittmann and Miller. Someone stated above about fertility issues and that would be a whole separate area to consider. But if you're a newly pregnant I would go with my above stated.
Jennifer V. replied:
Dr. Grevengood is the best! He ha delivered my 3 boys and I am currently going to him for baby #4! He won most compassionate doctor last year! Highly recommend! Congrats!
Kate C. replied:
Dr. Hilton, Dr. Harrington, Dr. Clements. They are a group of 3 women from Physicians Regional. I just had my first baby 3 weeks ago and they were amazing as well as all their staff and everyone at the Women's Center.
Ashley G. replied:
Dr. Heitmann delivered my first, I hated his staff, very unprofessional at times, with my second I've switched to Dr. Bevins, so far I love her and her staff!!
Lisa S. replied:
Dr Thompson or dr heittman stay away from flipantrainer
Megan M. replied:
Dr. McLean delivered my daughter...he's great & has years of experience. They do payment plans.
Tess S. replied:
Dr. Beckett is amazing! He's delivered all three of my children including twins!
Tad A. replied:
I used to see Heitmann. At 24 weeks I went into premature labor. Heitman was going to keep me at NCH but Dr. Parker argued with him and she had me lifeflighted to All Childrens in St. Pete. Without a doubt, she saved my baby's life and quality if life ...See More
Brynn D. replied:
Dr. Bevins is amazing! Her group does offer a payment plan and was very accommodating.. Great experience!
Becky A. replied:
Dr. Bevins. The whole staff is wonderful. We had horrible insurance at the time, and opted to self-pay. I just made a payment each visit!
Paula B. replied:
Dr. Thompson is AMAZING!!!!
Angela O. replied:
Dr Wendy Humphrey!!!:)
Liza K. replied:
Dr. Kamerman
Michelle M. replied:
Dr Joseph Lang!!! I tried Woman's Place, but was not thrilled being passed from Dr to Dr...then upon my delivery of my 2 nd child....the NEW Dr they just hired, whom i had never met, showed up to deliver....needless to say, I found a new AMAZING CARING DOCTOR, DR LANG!
Heather S. replied:
Dr. Emily Clements is amazing!!
Michelle U. replied:
Dr. Thompson!!! He delivered my son and my niece.
Christina H. replied:
I initially went to especially for women with Dr Gauta. At my appt I got Dr kamerman. So I was already not happy. I was almost 10 weeks along and wanted to do a blood test. He saw me for like 5 minutes. After which I did not see him again and went to A...See More
Jen M. replied:
Dr Kamerman delivered my two oldest. He was an absolute life saver (literally) when my son was born 5 years ago. Jesse would not be here if it wasn't for him. I would recommend him to anyone. I wish I lived closer for this pregnancy!
Andrea F. replied:
Dr Crandall delivered my second and is incredibly smart. He practices high risk OB on every patient bc it's good thorough medicine. I had complications at the end of my pregnancy and he met me at the office every other day for 4 weeks regardless of day of the week including Sunday at 2 pm to monitor the baby. Incredible!! Not sure about payment plans.
Vanessa K. replied:
Dr Beckett
Kim H. replied:
Dr. Thompson. VERY VERY GOOD. And you can make payments but have to speak with him about it.
Holly S. replied:
Dr. Beckett!
Jeni M. replied:
Dr. Beckett! Such a sweet man. Very reassuring and a great doctor!!
Amanda B. replied:
Dr. Brothers or dr. Bevins
Jennifer V. replied:
@Julie Morgan Dr Grevengood is still by the hospital NCH, but they did move offices to the other side of Immokalee, he is delivering at both hospitals:-)
Ally L. replied:
Dr. Thompson is an outstanding doctor!! He delivered my daughter and six of my nieces and nephew.
Kimberly S. replied:
Dr. Betsy Brothers is truly amazing! Near NCH North. Staff is amazing as well.
Jacky O. replied:
I agree with the above and highly recommend Dr. Betsy Brothers at Southwest Florida Womens Group. She delivered my three grandkids and did my hysterectomy. All three doctors there are female and their staff is AWESOME as well (including my daughter)!
Sandy M. replied:
Dr Brothers was awesome...love her and the other 2 in that practice (Bevins and Humphrey). They offered financial plans when I was pregnant (5 yrs ago).
Nancy C. replied:
I like both Dr Thompson and Dr Kamerman. I feel as though Dr Heitmann failed in guiding me properly when it came to my infertility issues.
Hillary H. replied:
Dr Betsy (Troy) Brothers delivered my triplets and was amazing!! Staff is wonderful too. Southwest Florida Women's Group. Not sure on payment plan.
Leah R. replied:
Dr. Floriani
Christina F. replied:
Dr. Bevins (she's in with Dr. Brothers) at SWFL Women's Group. She's great and yes they do have a payment plan. Notify them off your pending insurance with as much documentation as you can, they'll work with you.
Julie B. replied:
Dr Thompson and his staff are great, he's delivered both of my children and I have went to him for 9 years! I'd ask about the payment plans, he very nice!
