You’ve reached the mother lode of all things Rural Doc Alan!
As an obstetrician, Dr. Lindemann, known as Rural Doc Alan, knows from experience that successful pregnancy and delivery requires close attention to detail. Patients need doctors who will listen to them. Patients need time to talk to their doctors and ask questions.
Dr. Lindemann also knows that our current healthcare environment tends to make it very difficult for women to have access to the same doctor for all their visits. Women may not even see their obstetrician on prenatal visits. Indeed, women may find themselves in the delivery room with a doctor you have never met.
In pregnancy, the lack of access to your doctor means you may not have the information you need to make decisions about the kind of pregnancy and delivery you prefer. You will find information on Dr. Lindemann’s web sites to help fill this gap.
