Dr Denise Main did my Amnio when I was pregnant with my daughter. She
was great. I had no complications. My one word of advice is to follow
there after care instructions. I may of actually over followed them,
if I wasn't supposed to lift for 24 hours I didn't for 48 etc. She
was very comforting for me. Having my husband there was also helpful.
How experianced or her complication rate I don't know I used her
because my doctor wanted me to and my doctor has been practicing in
Marin for about as long as I have been alive so I went with who he
thought was best. Good luck

I have now used the Prenatal Diagnosis Center, overseen by Dr. Denise
Main at California Pacific Medical Center, twice. Both with great
success, satisfaction, and relief. I had a CVS procedure in the 11th
week of both pregnancies and was very impressed with the counseling
provided prior to the procedure, as well as the nursing and professional
staff who conducted both procedures. Dr. Main's group is quite large,
with facilities in San Francisco (at CPMC), Marin (in Greenbrae near
Marin General Hospital) and I think one in the South Bay. I had my
first CVS at the CPMC and the second in Marin - purely for convenience
and scheduling both times. Coincidentally, I had the same physician
both times (Dr. Otto, I think). I highly recommend this group and
would be happy to provide any further information about our experiences
there.
