Great experience, compassionate and kind group – This was my 2nd delivery, the first delivery with this group. My first labor I didn't know what to expect, and was much less educated about what was happening, and trusted my doctor completely to make the best decisions for me. The first labor was very long and I had lots of pitocin and consequently, had to have an epidural very early. I was not given a chance for my body to labor on its own, but I did not know better. I also had an episiotomy, which I did not want (and lookin... read more
Great communication and patient doctors and midwifes – What made this pregnancy different from my first was the way Dr. Sebestyen, Dr. Campaigne, and the Nurse Midwives; Miller,Harrison-Short, and Carlie, communicated. Communication and answering patients' questions completely is the key to a great Doctor/Patient relationship and OBGYN North did that. Thank you very much for making me feel comfortable and able to trust you.
I really wanted to love this place..... – I went to Dr. Thompson when she owned the practice and decided to stay when I heard that midwives would deliver babies now. During my pregnancy I was shocked at how bad the front office was, rude, argumentive, and then some creeping guy that works there gets involved and pretends to solve what ever problem. I have to admire the effort to get midwives in hospitals, but a hospital is still a hospital. . They encourage "natural" childbirth, but what they really mean is no pain medicatio... read more
Business response:
It is unfortunate that this was a negative experience for you. Unlike most hospital practices, we do NOT require IV fluids or continous monitoring because we encourage walking / showering in labor and squatting / hands-knees during birth. Neither IV fluids nor continuous monitoring have ever improved outcomes in low-risk patients. We do require heplocks (the base of the IV) for emergency intervention only. I assume that you were a HIGH-RISK patient given the comments in which case continuous fetal monitoring and induction ar... read more
Good doctors, terrible staff – I have been going to this practice for a while. I have seen both doctors. They are knowledgeable, kind doctors and I love that they incorporate midwives in their practice. Their staff, however, is often impatient, condescending, patronizing, and inefficient. Unfortunately, you see and deal with the staff far more than the doctors. I have tried to talk to Dr. Sebestyen about this, but little seems to have changed. I have a couple of colleagues that also went to this practice and had the same exp... read more
Business response:
I appreciate the feedback on our front staff and practice manager in this review as well as those to follow. We are taking this seriously and have replaced two front staff and our practice manager with very experienced women who will hopefully help to solve this problem. Our new practice manager, Kris Pelky, is always available to listen to complaints so that we can fix problems as they arise. She can be reached at kpelky@obgynnorth.com. Our commitment is to the women we serve both in clinical care and customer service, and ... read more
Misdiagnosed, Poor Nursing Staff – Here's a rundown of my experience at this practice... April-June of 2008: Came in for a pre-conception consult/exam. Due to some concerns in my cycle, was sent for labwork. It took one week to get a return phonecall with my lab results, after repeated calls. I needed to repeat the labwork to confirm the results the following month, and, again, it took days to receive a phonecall regarding the results. Was given a possible diagnosis based on the labwork and referred to a fertility clinic. Ju... read more
Business response:
I am saddened to hear of this patient's experience, but baffled as to why the review was posted one year after the care was delivered. After Dr. Thompson retired in March 2008, the practice was very much in turmoil with frequent staff changes and confusion as a result. I am sure that this contributed, yet it is no excuse. We are in response to such feedback about miscarriages developing a standard protocol that all RNs, CNMs, and MDs will follow. The 48 hour labs are a normal part of this as the changes in pregnancy hormone ... read more
Best Place in all of Texas – if you're looking for a place to have a natural child birth experience, where they are open to allowing you to birth almost as naturally as you would at home. this office is AWESOME. you'll love Dr. Sebestyen and Dr. Campaign. The staff is friendly and so are all the mid-wives. I had my second child here. and it was a totally different experience. wouldn't go anywhere else.
OB/midwife group truly supports normal birth – All the research indicates midwifery is the best model of care for healthy pregnant mothers and their babies. Finally Austin has the perfect combination of care for those who choose to birth in the hospital setting. My experience with this group as a birth doula has been fantastic. Every client has been treated with the greatest respect, and their wishes for their birth has been honored as fully as possible. Women are treated kindly, as individuals, and are included in their tre... read more
Best Doctor Around – Dr. Campaign the "other" doctor in Dr. Sebestyen's practice delivered our baby, as well as having many appointments with us. She, along with the entire staff at this office, are amazing. Dr. Campaign has the best bedside manner, was supportive of all of the pieces of our birthing plan (based on our learning from Bradley and Hypnobirthing classes) and advocated for us to have exactly the birth we wanted at the North Austin Medical Center. Having Dr. Campaign help me with the birth of my baby was like havi... read more
Good Doctor can't make up for staff – I transferred to Dr Sebestyen midway through my second pregnancy. I was looking for a naturalistic birth experience and was excited by the prospect of a midwife-assisted birth. Dr. Sebestyen was nice and supportive, as were the midwives in the practice. I delivered my daughter, unmedicated, and with very little intervention. The birth was everything I wanted. My overall experience was so frustrating, however, that I will not be returning to her office for my routine care. Over the 14 wee... read more
