Hello all I'm looking for a peri or ob/gyn in the Southern Orange County area in CA. I also posted on the support group subject but I havn't heard back yet & I get anxious easily. Please let me know if you have one you highly recommmed.
Thanks,
Monica

Hi Monica,
I read that you live near RSM.
I have had numerous friends deliver their HOM at Saddleback.
I believe the Dr's name is Dr. Lagrew.
Go to:
http://www.memorialcare.org/apps/docfinder/provider_detail.cfm?site=S&id=89

I cannot personally speak on behalf of this facility or doctor (I had my quads in AZ), but it seems that most south county residents pregnant with HOM take their care to him or to UCI Medical Center, that is, the ones who do not relocate to AZ.

There is a support group near you called "Saddleback Mothers of Multiples." Go to: http://www.smomc.org/index.htm
If you want to talk to some of the club members, please let me know.
All the best,

Monica please email me so I can try and hook you up with some doctors. I will get some reccommendations for you.

Hi. I live in OC CA. I delivered at St. Jo's which is connected with CHOC. My doctor was Dr. Linzey who is a peri/ob. Excellent doctor with great reputation. If you would like more info, e-mail me at rk5152@pacbell.net. Good Luck!

Rochelle,
My good friend who had quads also delivered under Dr. Linzey. She speaks so highly of him!
Great recommendation, I forgot to mention him.

Here is some the information !
Magella Medical/Fetal Diagnostic with Dr David Lagrew, Dr. Damon Masaki and Dr. Kurtzman is fantastic for Multiples in Laguna Hills at Saddleback Hospital. I went there for my twins and singleton and know a number of moms in the club have used them.
Happy New Year

THANKS!!

I recently moved to Phoenix from Orange County. While in OC, I also saw the Magella group. I really liked both Dr Lagrew and Dr Masaki. They have a great reputation and Saddleback has a Level 3 nursery.

Hi Courtney,
I have been meaning to email you!
How is everything going?
If you get a chance, go down to the chapel and take a look at the "Tree of Life." My daughter's dove in on it!
I hope all is really well, you are in such good hands!

Thanks for your response-
What is a Level 3 nursery? Does that mean if there are complications the babies stay there & will not be taken to another hospital?

I got another referral for you. You will need a level 3 NICU becuase some hospitals like a Level 2 can only take babies about 35 weeks and beyond. They don't have the staff or equipment needed incase of emergencies or to care for the premee babies. Also if you deliver at a level 2 or lower and then the babies need to be transfered you will not be in the same hospital as them. When you pick a hospital schedule a visit to walk through Labor and Delivery and NICU so you have a good idea of what to expect and where to go. It was really nice of us to do this. My DH liked it alot.

Here is the other referral. Please feel to email me anytime.

I HIGHLY recommend ANY Peri from the Magella Medical Group, Inc.
(especially Dr. Tamerou Asrat) - they have privileges at both
Saddleback and Hoag. Dr. Asrat was my Peri at Hoag. Magella's phone #
at the Hoag office is 949-515-7861 (they can give you the # for the
Saddleback office if needed). They are really great there... I should
know I was in the hospital for 9 weeks before my twin boys were born
and I was seen by a Peri and an ob/gyn everyday.

As far as ob/gyn's are concerned - my Dr. was Dr. Richard Christie -
he was awesome... but any of the other Dr.'s in his practice are great
as well - I think there are 6 total???... again, I saw all of them when
I was on bedrest in the hospital. His office number is 949-644-2722...
they are located in Newport Beach next to Fashion Island.
