Female OB/GYN Mississauga

Salamz,

Any recommendation for a female OB/GYN in Mississauga? Alhamdolillah, we are expecting another child and searching for OB/GYN in Mississauga area. Also, does any OB/GYN makes sure (or at least tries) to be there at the delivery time?

Thanks,
J!

Congratulations!!!

Depending on which hospital you are working with you may or may not have a choice in the matter of selecting an OB/GYN.

Thanks Muzna.

We are also open about the hospital as we first want to know of a good OB/GYN (and her availability for delivery). Do you (or anyone for that matter) know of a hospital that offers a choice? The closest hospital is Credit Valley, however, Trillium isn’t that far either for us.

Thanks,
J!

As far as I know, Credit Valley does not offer a choice. There you are required to register with a “group” of doctors and whomever is available for your appointments and delivery will attend.

Often they try to schedule your check-ups with the attending physician but the delivery is definitely not guaranteed.

I agree with Muzna

you can have a female GYNO, but at the hospital - they cannot guarantee who will deliver the child

I am registered at Trillium and i was told the same thing.

So how exactly does it work in then? We choose a doctor and ask the GP to refer us or choose a hospital first and then just meet their panel every appointment?

Does anyone have any experience with Joseph Brant Hospital? And how is the panel at Credit Valley?

As a hostpital, Credit Valley is really, really good - speaking from family experience, they chose CV and the care received from the nurses and doctors there was very much appreciated.

And what the other ladies said - your OBGYN might be a woman and you may be anle to schedule all of your appointments with her (even within a larger gyno practice). But if she’s not on call the day you deliver, there’s no guarantee that the doctor attending you will be a woman and as far as I know, you cannot “pick” to only allow a woman doctor to deliver your child - it’s whoever is there.

Don’t know about Canada much, but can you choose an all woman group? I am in the USA and I chose an all woman group so that whoever would be on duty that day would be a female doctor.

In Mississauga there is no such group available. The two hospitals, Trillium and Credit Valley both have groups that contain both male and female obstetricians.

There seems to be good reviews about Dr Kim Rogers in Mississauga on the internet.
