Common complaints

- Frustration with lack of continuity of care (not knowing which OB will deliver)
- Some reports of dismissive or impatient bedside manner during high-risk scenarios
- Long wait times and issues with insurance billing
"The problem is that about 1/3 of the OBs are great, 1/3 are mediocre, and 1/3 are just plain terrible and rude and impatient, etc. You don't get to pick who will actually be on call when you go to the hospital."
— Berkeley Parents Network (Sutter Milvia Practice Review)"I have been very happy with the Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation practice on Milvia St. My OB is Dr. Madhavan, who is wonderful, but I've also seen some of the others... and have liked them all."
