Ob/Gyn Open to Alternative Medicine
April 2005
I am trying to get pregnant and think my OB/GYN doctor is okay.
But I am very interested in working with an OB that is open to
me using alternative modalities, such as acupuncture and herbs.
I would like to find a doctor who doesn't want to put me on
hormones straight away. I also may want to have a home birth
and want to find someone who will support my decision with that
as well. I would love to know of an OB/GYN in the
Oakland/Berkeley area that fits that bill.
Holistically Minded
My Dr. is Dr. Carol Gerdes
in Alameda. She supported my first
home birth and now I am trying for a second. I see a midwife as
well as her. I receive dual care so they both know what is
going on in case the Dr. is needed in an emergency. She is open
to all natural medicine and will wait in the delivery room as
long as your labor is with out trying to give you pitocine or a
c-section uless necessary or wanted by you. Good luck!
