[quote=Anonymous]I had an amnio about a month ago with Dr Broth and he was great.  For or in responses to  the PP who was questioning how you would know whether a doc doing an amnio is excellent outside of the outcome of miscarriage - I had an amnio with my DD 2 years or so ago and though the doc came recommended he didnt take enough time to find the right pocket of fluid and I was in contractions in his office doing the procedure for about 45 min.  He barely retrieved enough fluid to do the test.  It was too casual an environment and it was traumatic even though I didnt lose the baby.  So I didnt go back.  I asked my midwife to recommend someone who gets great feedback for the ease of the procedure from her patients knowing that miscarriage is not always linked to the amnio.  She gave me Dr Broth as her choice saying that even with patients who had complications, CVS and amnio were done quickly and without issues.  He took a lot of time finding the pocket and talking to the nurse about how he was going to go about the retrieval of fluid.  He said the trick was to find the perfect spot and get in and out before the uterus can overreact.  I was very nervous about it and it ended up only taking 2 minutes.  He explained every step as he was going and the difference between my last amnio and this one is staggering -both pregnancies had no miscarriage after the procedure but the EXPERIENCE was so different.  He was direct, calm, informative and did what he said he would do with confidence.  We got our results within the week for the FISH and the full results without bugging them.  That is what I call an excellent doctor for amnio - someone who listens to your history and concerns, addresses them, can back their words up with actions, and has a staff which is attentive and respectful of the process. 
It is very difficult if not impossible to link a miscarriage to an amnio - miscarriages happen around that time without amnio.  But I think you have the right to hope for and expect an experience as I listed above.
