OB for prenatal care and c-section?
–Sep 27, 2022Hello, I am looking for an OB in the east bay who is able to provide me w/ prenatal care, form a relationship, and be the person I schedule a c-section with? Does this exist? I know there might be last minute changes if they get called away or are out sick. This will be for a PPO plan, not Kaiser. I didn't like having a random MD deliver my first child so I am looking for a different experience this time (for medical reasons need to have c-section). Berkeley/Oakland, but I'm also willing to go through the tunnel to Orinda/Walnut Creek. Thank you!
Sep 27, 2022Doctor for Scheduled C-Section at Alta Bates
–Jul 12, 2021I will be having a scheduled C-section at Alta Bates the first week of August. I've seen a number of doctors over the course of my pregnancy, but I haven't seen a single doctor consistently. Does anyone have experience with Drs. Kondrashov, Mehandru, or Schleuning performing their C-section? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Jul 12, 2021Great East Bay obgyn/obstetrician for high-risk C-section
–Oct 27, 2020Hi there. I am newly pregnant with my 2nd and currently looking for doctors in the east bay that deliver at UCSF or possibly John Muir. We delivered at Marin General last time and it was the most awful experience. I would be a high risk pregnancy and having a C-section. Any names or practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Oct 27, 2020Recommendation for doctor for third c-section
–Jun 18, 2018I just found out that I am pregnant with my third child and will need a third c-section. I am looking for a doctor who has a great reputation as I am very nervous about the third surgery. My first was born in San Diego and my second at Kaiser Redwood City but I no longer am part of the Kaiser system. I will be 38 years old when I deliver. I live in Oakland but am willing to go anywhere. Thank you all for the recommendations!

I am currently a patient at Sutter Milvia OB practice and will soon me having a c-section. If it’s planned, they do so with your OB (as long as they’re not on vacation etc). I see and love Dr Venkat but have met several other OBs in the practice and they’re all great. Prenatal appointments will be a mix of your OB, other OBs, and midwives just depending on availability. Hope that helps!
Dr. Anahat Sandhu in Lafayette. Many patients love her. She’s a sole practitioner and attends 90% of her patients’ births herself. She’s a surgeon and does C-sections. She does deliveries at John Muir in Walnut Creek.
Hi there! I delivered via c-section at Sutter Alta Bates this summer, and if you have a scheduled c-section there, it will be with your OB. (Caveat: My daughter wasn’t, because she decided to come a day before the schedule — but typically it would be with your OB!) I hope that helps.
