A friend of mine goes to him, she likes him but I should say that she has very "normal" pregnancy's and has not had a c/s.  I don't know where he is on any of that.  Sorry that is not much of a help!

 

While we are on the topic, my regular practitioner is Lynn Stock At Hamburg OBGYN.  She left this month and moved to Atlanta.  I was lucky to have an appointment with her and we had a long talk about whether I should stay or find someone new if I decide to havea third baby.  Lynn was great during my pregnancy and she really stood behind me and was very reassuring about the risks vs benefits of c/s.  I will miss her!  We she was very open with me about the Dr's at Hamburg OBGYN and who's really vbac friendly and who isn't.  She said Koritz and Gugino and strong believers and will stand behind a vbac mom, Zuccala will do VBAC's but he's not a big advocate for them she would say he's middle of the road but if a mom really wants he'll help her get it.  Lauria is the only one in the practice who is against them and will battle you in the delivery room to have a c/s.  Dr Gugino delivered my vbac and he was fine, honestly it went so fast he was only in my room for about 15-20 minutes I think since I was about ready to push by the time we got there.  My only problem w/ hamburg was I felt a little over managed in the 3rd trimester, I had pre-E along with pre-term labor with my first and with my second they insisted on ALOT of week to week monitoring b/c of PIH even though the baby was consistently healthy and on track during weekly nst/bpps.  So thats my two cents on that practice if anyone is ever looking for opinions.
