Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I am in New Jersey (North Jersey). If you email me privately with the name of your practice and/or the area in which you live, I can find out more for you and can possibly get a recommendation for a practice that's more respectful of women. I am a labor support doula and can contact a doula in your area who would know a lot about the providers there.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I mentioned it to (about trying to get pregnant/finding an OB/GYN and she didn't recommend anyone. I guess I could ask her. She is in Philly though, and I am in NJ. Dr. Rodke is too far from me to see on a regular basis like that, and she doesn't take my insurance, so that would add up! doesn't take my insurance either, but I don't see her that often.
