I always thought it would be in family practice, but I found that I love taking care of babies and their growing families. Obstetrics is my passion. I love deliveries.\u201dOn finding the ob-gyn who\u2019s right for you:\u201cPatients have to feel that they\u2019re listened to, and that they\u2019re cared for.

Do they listen to you? Do you feel good about them? Granted, you can Google people and check them out in advance. But to me, it really should be more about the impression you get from them.
