I had an awful OB/GYN for my first pregnancy, so I went to Dr. Brodkin on a friend's recommendation for my 2nd pregnancy. I LOVE her!! She is kind and caring, and really knows what she is doing. She has 3 kids of her own, so she has "been through it!" With her own deliveries she did both natural and epidural so that she knows what both are like. I highly recommend her!! I've read a couple of reviews that complained about the wait or seeing a NP/PA instead - duh, if an OB/GYN has to deliver a baby, then she may not be at your routine appt or you may have to wait. Not everyone is scheduling C-sections, so the doctor may not always be available if a patient goes into labor.
