OB for prenatal care and c-section?
Hello, 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!

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.
