Review of MGH YouthCare

Dr. Clinton was my OB for my somewhat complicated ...

Dr. Clinton was my OB for my somewhat complicated twin pregnancy this winter. Near the end of my pregnancy it became clear that my 2nd twin was going to be breech at delivery. While many OBs would have considered this an indication for c-section, Dr. Clinton very confidently explained that if I could deliver my first twin vaginally he could do a breech extraction for my second twin. I had never heard of this and thought maybe it was a simple routine procedure however it turns out not all OBs are comfortable with this procedure even at MGH. On the night of my induction there were not going to be any OBs on call who were comfortable doing the extraction and I faced the possibility that I would have to have both a vaginal delivery and a c-section or simply opt for a c-section. But Dr. Clinton took it upon himself to make a plan to cover my delivery as an on-call provider. When the time came, I gave birth to my first twin vaginally and then Dr. Clinton and is team went to quick work performing a complicated series of maneuvers which safely extracted by second twin from my womb! I cannot express how grateful I am for this outcome and for Dr. Clinton's dedicated to providing the very best care to me and my family!
