Dr. Steven Schlinke and Dr. Kayci Lewis are Mercy doctors who can deliver at Integris if that might work for you. Dr. Schlinke was positive about us using a doula and said he was flexible on positions, he did want to induce if I went past 42 weeks, but he wasn't going to force anything. He ended up out of town for our delivery, Dr. lewis was amazing- she let me push for almost 3 hours in a variety of positions and even suggested some to try. She was positive with our doula, and has had a natural childbirth herself. We delivered at baptist and they let us do everything on our birth plan.

Dr Hoda Maarouf. She's on the fourth floor of Baptist (Building A) and is amazing. I'm 22 weeks with my fourth and I just adore her. She's very much about it being YOUR birth. http://www.womenspreventivehealthcare.com/page_9.html

I love Dr Margaret Hall@Lakeside. She was wonderful! And the nurses were equally as robber fil.

I am a third for Dr. Maarouf. She will track your vitals after you're checked in so she's always in the know. She came to the hospital before the nurses called her because she saw my son's heart rate drop with each contraction. Dr. Nanda is great too, but I LOVE Dr. Maarouf.

Dr. Amanda Levine she is in Edmond and will deliver at Integris I believe. This is my 2 nd natural childbirth I'm due any time now. I have had a doula present both times and she has gone along with my birth plan. She will want to try and induce you if you go over 42 weeks but I haven't gone passed that! I love her! She takes her time with you at each appointment and by the end she's like a friend.
