The Perinatal Center at Parkside, Lutheran General Hospital is a great high risk OB practice. Dr. Keller is very easygoing. Might I add that he has unbelievable 5 o'clock shadow, reminds me of GI Joe's crewcut. I was a bit apprehensive about the length of the amniocentesis needle & Dr. Keller said in all seriousness, "It's not the length, it's the width". My sister and I busted out laughing as the doctor looked on, admittedly confused.
When I got pregnant again last summer, I figured why bother my regular gyno? I'll just go right to the source because he'll only refer me there anyway, right? Well, they didn't seem to like my way of doing things...like you don't go to them unless you are referred, since they're a high risk practice. I had to substantiate my right to be there, that I was high risk before and nothing has changed, so I'm most definitely still high risk. Sooo, I didn't like that...and then my usual gyno was a bit miffed that I didn't call him first to let him know @ the pregnancy. read more
