This doctor was not my regular OBGYN, although i wish he was, but i did see him briefly while i was at my worst with HG. His name is Dr. Christopher A. Barbour and he works out of Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downer's Grove, IL. but also has offices in Lombard, IL. He is the absolute best doctor i have ever encountered and is so genuinely caring and attentive. He sat at my bedside in the hospital and offered to help find something to help alleviate my HG so that i could at least eat again. And he did. He tried many options with me and did not give up until we found one that helped enough for me to go home. I never had to return to the E.R. again thanks to him.
Dr. Barbour is the doctor who prescribed Zofran for me, saw to it that i stayed in the hospital until i was healthy enough to leave, gave me options, talked and listened to me, and also gave me the option of a home nurse for Zofran I.V. therapy. He also tried Reglan, Benadryl, Unisom, Compazine, Ambien, and offered to personally speak to my insurance to ensure the home nurse would be covered as a medical necessity. He also checked in on me personally each day that i was in the hospital and made me feel truely cared for. i would highly recommend him to anyone pregnant, with or without HG.
