I received a letter yesterday telling me that my Ob/Gyn (Vanessa Dinnall) is leaving the practice and her patients will be taken over by Dr. Lily Hanna. I just called to make an appointment with Dr. Hanna since I am planning to start TTC before the end of the year, and the woman I spoke to said I couldn't see her until November because that was when my last annual was.

^^ I just want to meet this doctor! Has anyone else had an experience like this (this is with the Moritz/Jew practice at St. Luke's Roosevelt), or does anyone know anything about Dr. Hanna? [ Reply | More ]

She was the Dr. on call when I had my DD at SLR in 2003--she was lovely, very nice. [ Reply | More ]

Thanks for responding. This will be my first, so I'm kind of nervous about the doctor, and I have been seeing Dr. Dinnall for several years and really liked her. Hope I like Dr. Hanna too! [ Reply | More ]

Thanks. I've heard mostly good things from friends who've delivered there, so I'm happy with that. [ Reply | More ]

I hadn't either - they said that I couldn't have an appointment until a year after my last one, unless I was pregnant and it was for something else. I finally managed to get someone else to give me an appointment to meet with the doctor, but not for an exam. [ Reply | More ]

Dinnall is leaving? That is so disappointing. She's like a midwife. [ Reply | More ]

I would really make sure this Dr. Hanna has the same type of philosophy. Otherwise, I'd switch out. [ Reply | More ]

I have a great Dr. Dr. Ephraim Ovitsch. He delivers at St. Vincents. I would recommend him to anyone. He will give you an appointment usually the same week. He really takes the time to listen to you. [ Reply | More ]

Though I am not pg, I have met with Dr. Hanna for GYN exams. I fear she is not thorough enough and seems very lax about diagnosing symptoms. She also seems narrow minded about her chosen treatments, and was dismissive of my requests for more natural treatments without hormones. If you are looking for a more conservative treatment, I'd go elsewhere. [ Reply | More ]
