Delivering at Hoag Newport

Question

Hi! I’m scheduled to be induced at Hoag Newport in two weeks. First time mom. Love my OB (Dr. Hargrove) but I heard it’s usually not your doctor who delivers your baby? Does anyone have experience with this at Hoag? If so, how did that play out? Do the docs come and introduce themselves before the birth? Also curious to hear the overall experiences delivering at Hoag. Friends who have had babies there rave about it (amazing nurses, decent food, beautiful rooms, etc.), but I’m reading some pretty mixed reviews. I don’t plan on changing hospitals this late in the pregnancy, but still want to feel prepared. TIA!
