What is unique about obstetric care at River Place OB-GYN?

We are a boutique practice with big-league skill, experience, and technology. River Place OB/GYN was created to give expectant mothers the latest, safest, and highest quality in obstetric care while still providing an individualized compassionate approach.

Do you accept high-risk patients?

Yes. Both Dr. Thoppil and Dr. Shepherd are very comfortable managing high-risk pregnancies. Whether extra monitoring is required due to an underlying health condition or merely being one of the growing numbers of expectant moms who are over age 35, our doctors have the expertise to care for you and your baby.

How many prenatal appointments will I have and what do these entail?

During the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, most expectant mothers have one appointment every 4 weeks. At that point, visits to our office become biweekly. In the final stretch, appointments are every week. At each appointment, your weight and blood pressure are measured and your urine tested for protein, glucose, or infection.

Where will I deliver my baby?

We deliver primarily at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center. It offers a full-service maternity ward equipped to enable us to handle any possible situation. They also have a top level 3 NICU. Please feel free to check out their website.

I have been with Dr. Garcia and this office for over 34 years and I love this office and the staff, everyone is so kind. Jan Ely is awesome and is always concerned about how I have been doing and she remembers my issues from last time. Dr. Wells is really nice too. Love this office man, not going anywhere.

I love the staff of river city. My whole pregnancy went smoothly with these great people. Kendra Gillespie is a gem of a person, she treated me so well with all the complications I had. The sonography lady gave a detailed explanation of the baby parts.

I took my elderly neighbor to this office, they were all kind to her and treated her kindly. They were amazing and work with you to make sure your appointment time works for you a well as them and they don’t leave you sitting there like many doctors office’s do. I will definitely recommend them during these unsettling times.
