I have recently moved into the Puyallup area, and recently found out my fiance and I are expecting another little bundle of joy! I am looking for a good obgyn in this area, and would like to know if anyone has any recommendations? My last ob was wonderful and very gentle so I would just like to find one equally as supportive!
Thank you everyone for you responses! I decided to go with Dr. Taggart of Sound Family Medicine. I got quite a bit of recommendations for him so I met with him yesterday and I love him! He is very down to earth and hilarious! He made everthing at ease, as I was kind of "iffy" about a male doctor. He also welcomed my daughter and fiance in as new patients even though he's not really accepting new patients! I am also very excited to see the new Birthing Center at Good Sam as I have been informed on how accomadating and "warm" it is there! Thank you again to all who have responded with the recommendations!!!
I have a wonderful OBGYN and she is also a family doctor so care can continue with her after baby is here. Her name is Dr. Susan McDonald with Sound Family Medicine in Bonney Lake. I live on South Hill Puyallup and it only takes about 20 minutes to get there.
Dr. Michaelson is one of the best in the area and he also specializes in high risk pregnancies. He's by good sam hosptial I think it is the cascade eye and skin building on meridian. good luck J.
I would highly recomend Dr Shope, he has an office in Auburn right across from the hospital. I don't normaly care for male doctors, but I was given his name and went to see him. I think he is great, he has a wonderfull bedside mannor. Give him a call and just go see him, and see what you think.
Good luck

I go to Good Samaritans Women's Clinic; it is right across the street from their brand new Family Birth Center. My OB is Dr. Debra McAllister. She is very kind, sweet, and easy going. I can’t say how delivery is with her because I am due on Friday (though she just told me today that I am nowhere close to giving birth by my due date! Ugh!). I am not sure if she is taking new clients, she seems a quite a bit busier now than when I first started seeing her, but there are four other doctors that work out of the same clinic if she isn't.
At Good Sam’s new Birth Center they have the birthing tubs in every delivery suite (if that is something you are interested in trying), and after delivery they have all in one “Mother-Baby Suites” so your baby stays with you and not in a nursery, and they have on-staff lactation consultants that come visit you after the birth.
Dedicated Women's Health ###-###-####), near Good Sam Hospital. Both Dr. Edstrom and Dr. Eun are wonderful. They have been going there for 8 years and each of them have delivered one of my kids (my last two, I have three).

I love Dr. Taggart out of Sound Family Medicine. He is gentle and has the best sense of humor! He was cracking jokes throughout my delivery! They are located right down the road from Lowes, across from the mall. Their phone #, if you're interested, is ###-###-####.
I just love Dr Julie Komorrow from South Sound Family Medicine in Bonney Lake if you are willing to go there. She isn't an OBGYN - but a family practice doc that can care for you now and the whole family after. She's a wonderful woman. I'd still be going to her if I wasn't high risk and needed a VBAC on top of it. I'm taking my older girls to see here and will take the baby to her when she's born.
Good luck and congrats!!
