I am looking for an OB/GYN in the Hilliard area and would love some suggestions! I would like to find someone who supports natural methods of solving problems when possible. I have been having some trouble having a normal cycle and therefore getting pregnant again after nursing my first child, so I'd love to find someone who is good with diagnosing and suggesting solutions to fertility issues. Please let me know if you know of anyone I should consider. Thank you!
My OB is Dr. Kathryn Poole. She is in a practice with 3 other wonderful doctors. The office number is ###-###-####. Give them a call. Even if you can't get in with Dr. Poole, all 3 doctors are excellent. The other doctors names are Dr. Turner or Dr. Artman.
My doctor is also at Northwest OBGYN and all of the doctors there are great. My doctor there is Dr. Leeman, her and her nurse are so wonderful! Good luck
I was referred to Dr. Jerry Hewitt w/Stoneridge OBGYN in Dublin and loved her and the entire practice. They are affiliated with OSU. After my I was referred to her, I started talking to other people and they also loved the entire practice. I am a first time mom and had 2 miscarriages and a hard pregnancy and she was great throughout everything!
GOOD LUCK!!
My doc is Vicki Miller, and she's in a practice of 5 women docs called Northwest OB/GYN. Their office is by Mill Run, and their number is ###-###-####. I've gone there for about 7 years and have had all 3 of my children with their practice. I have no complaints.
I would highly suggest setting up a pre-conception counseling appt. That way you can discuss any fertility issues that you are having and get suggestions for how you can get pregnant more quickly.
I went off the pill and conceived the following cycle with my first. I had been on the pills for years, so I have no idea what my cycles would have been like if I hadn't taken it. I got pregnant again when my first was about 10 months and was still nursing. I think I had only had one postpartum period at that point. Unfortunately, I miscarried that pregnancy. After my m/c, my cycles were pretty irregular. I started temping and determined that I was ovulating late and had a short luteal phase (the time between ovulation and my next period was too short). So, I took some vit B6 for a while, but it didn't really do anything. It was after I figured all of this out, that I went to my doc with all of my charts and info on my cycles to discuss trying to conceive.
Anyway....I went on to taking a few rounds of clomid for my 2nd baby, and I only had to take one round of clomid to get my third. For me, the clomid just made me ovulate on time and have a normal luteal phase. I didn't have any side effects from it at all. In fact, it made me wonder if it was going to do anything since I didn't feel any different. Fortunately, I didn't have to do anything else fertility-wise, since my doc will refer her patients on to a reproductive endocrinologist if they don't conceive after 3-4 cycles of clomid.
The reason I told you all of this is just to let you know that there are things that you can determine about your own body, if you haven't already, that you can be armed with when you go to see your new practitioner (doc, midwife, or otherwise). There are a lot of good books to read out there also that can help to get you started.
Good luck with your search and journey to conception!

My doc is great! She has delivered 2 (soon to be 3) of my kids and I have no complaints about her. You should give her a call. Her name is Dr Komal Narula and she is at Women's Healthcare on Berry Leaf Ln which is off of Cemetary Rd. The office number is ###-###-####.
It's not EXACTLY Hilliard area, but ultimately not that far, fabulous midwives in Marysville that work out of their own office and Memorial Hospital of Union County:

Their website looks a little silly, but I think that's only because their energies are focused on their services - which are fantastic. Best wishes!
