Frequently Asked Questions

Why are new patient appointments booked so far in advance?

As the premier OB/GYN practice in the county, our providers are in high demand, and we only offer a set number of appointment slots each day. We never double-book. Unless an unexpected emergency arises on our end, 95% of our patients are seen on time, every time. We deeply respect your time, just as we do our own.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, located at 3625 University Blvd S, Jacksonville, FL 32216. This outstanding facility offers state-of-the-art labor and delivery suites, advanced neonatal care, compassionate nursing staff, and a family-centered birthing experience designed to make your delivery as safe and comfortable as possible. We are also pleased to offer quarterly Stork Tours for expectant mothers, a wonderful opportunity to familiarize yourself with the facility before your big day. Please contact our office for upcoming tour dates.

Am I a VBAC or VBA2C candidate?

Whether you are a candidate for a vaginal birth after cesarean depends on a wide range of individual factors that cannot be determined without a thorough, personalized evaluation. We encourage you to contact our office and schedule an appointment so we can review your history and discuss your options in detail.

I'm pregnant and not feeling well. What can I take?

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, please dial 911.
