| - I'll preface this by saying that I've gone a lifetime refusing to learn anything about how the human body functions - easily horrified by things involving fluids, organs, etc. So.., I had a great experience with PV Ob/Gyn. Dr Newman was my gynecologist for 3 years, and I never really wanted to get pregnant. I will be forever grateful that he was my doctor when I did unexpectedly (but happily.) I was an Advanced Maternal Age expectant mom whose husband had just moved to a new state for a new job 9 days before I found out I was pregnant. Just a tad bit of anxiety... Dr. Newman was awesome - easing my fears, counseling me on prenatal testing, telling me no more than I wanted to know, and constantly making me laugh.
My delivery had some complications, and I was in tears in the delivery room. When Dr. Newman walked in, I breathed a sigh of relief. As much as he jokes, he's all business when it comes down to delivery. He visited me twice after birth and as I struggled with breastfeeding (tongue tied baby), he was incredibly encouraging and again, made me laugh when I was on the verge of tears.
After an emotionally difficult pregnancy and scary (for me) delivery, I'm so grateful to have had the perfect doctor for me. His dry humor might not be for everyone, but I give as good as I get... Either way, he's the doctor you want in your delivery room - competent, knowledgeable, and committed to bringing your baby safely into the world.
