[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you have a choice I would choose Dr. Elliott.

I have been with the practice for about 7 years and I believe Dr. Lashgari was a fairly new Dr. when I first saw her.  With baby #1 she really pushed for a c-sec when the baby measured large.  I also found her bedside manner to be a little insensitive and very closed-minded to options.  I saw while in labor throughout an entire day and she pretty much assumed I would end up wiht a c-sec.  I didn't deliver for over 28 hours and was so relieved that she wasn't on call that night because I know it would have turned out differently.  I deliivered at 730am the next morning vag a 10 baby.  Her and Dr. Elliott came running into the room literally when the other Dr (on call from another practice) pulled our DD out and held her up.  The next day when she saw me in recovery she made the comment that if she had been on call that I would have had a c-sec.  My water had been broken all that time as well, but since baby and I were doing well the other dr. let me labor.

Fast forward a few years later with baby #2 and Dr. Lashgari seemed to have opened her opinions a little more and while she didn't push quite as hard for a c-sec this time she did still mention it a lot and say that she will have a c-sec when she had kids.  I had some slight urine incontinence issues that I was told was more likely due to carry such a large baby than actual delivery, but this was when she threw in the "I will have a c-sec".

I was diagnosed with carrying a large baby again with #2 and when I told her this time I wanted to go without the epi this time she said she's never seen anyone go without an epi while on pit and basically she doesn't think anyone can do that particualy with a baby the size of mine.  Well, I delivered vag after 6.5hrs on pit without an epi.  This time Dr. Elliott delivered and was very encouraging at the end.

Just my experience, but I would go with Elliot due to his experience and nature.[/quote]
