Mark A. Dwight, MD

Dr. Dwight has been my OB/GYN since 2003. I first met him when I was 8 months pregnant with my first baby. I was nervous, because I had just moved from out of state at such a late point in my pregnancy. He sat with me at his desk for an hour and a half to discuss my pregnancy, before even beginning the examination. He was completely willing to adhere to my birth plan (no continuous fetal monitoring, free to walk around and eat during labor, etc.). I ended up having a serious complication and needed a c-section (really needed one -- not one of the many unnecessary ones performed these days). He was extremely skilled, competent, and I firmly believe he saved both my baby's life and mine. Four years later, I decided to have another baby. This time I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Dwight from the beginning. He was very attentive, caring, and he strongly encouraged me to try for a VBAC if my body would cooperate. In the end, it wasn't in the cards. I had my second healthy baby via c-section. However, I really appreciated not only Dr. Dwight's willingness to let me try a VBAC, but his insistence on it. If you're looking for an OB that is willing to let your body do what it was meant to do, yet able to competently and effectively intervene when necessary, all with a good bedside manner, then Dr. Dwight is your man.

Pros: Great bedside manner, takes his time with you, very competent, office staff very friendly

Cons: None

I have been a patient of Dr. Dwight for about 4 years now and I can't say how nice it is to finally have a physician that returns your phone calls and takes time with you during your office visit, as opposed of being "one foot in, one foot out the door." He even held my hand before a procedure and I just wish more doctors were like him. I almost didn't go because I didn't want to see a male ob/gyn, but I'm sooooo glad that I did. Keep in mind that an ob/gyn's office are almost never on time, because they do have births to attend to that don't necessarily stick with their daily schedule. I refer all my friends to Dr. Dwight because I know he will take great care of them and I get thanked for the referal from those that I've sent in to see him.

Pros: Caring physician, great bedside manner, courteous

Cons: none
