For my first two trimesters I was seeing a specialist at UCSD, but I was able to move to a general OB when nearing my third trimester. Based on my impression of her in the UCSD Meet the Maternity Team event(I highly recommend attending one of these, if you plan to delivery at UCSD Hospital in Hillcrest), I decided to see Dr. Pamela Deak. I’ve now seen her twice and I could not be more happy with my experience. For starters, I’m usually called back within a few minutes of being in the waiting room and all of the nurses and admin staff have been very helpful and friendly. Also, Dr Deak is usually in to see me only a few minutes after the nurse finishes with all of their checks. She takes plenty of time to check on me and the baby and answer all of my questions(I usually come with at list) thoroughly. She has a way of making me feel relaxed and reassured about my pregnancy and the impending labor. I’m very pleased with my experience with her so far, and I forsee that continuing throughout the remainder of my pregnancy.
