Pregnancy care with a woman's touch
Two female physicians offer prenatal care in Charlevoix area

Pregnancy is a special time in life. And many expectant patients—especially first-time moms—are looking for extra understanding and empathy. Now, under a “shared care” arrangement, two women who are family physicians and mothers themselves are providing prenatal care in the Charlevoix area.

Geralyn Doskoch, MD, has teamed up with OB/Gyn specialists James Jeakle, MD, and William Mosher III, MD, in the newly named Charlevoix Women’s Health Care practice to offer pre- and postnatal care. And, at the Boyne Area Medical Center, Andrea Wendling, MD, will provide comprehensive prenatal and follow-up care to women in that community.

Pregnant women who receive prenatal care from either Dr. Doskoch or Wendling will deliver their babies with Dr. Jeakle or Mosher at Charlevoix Area Hospital’s spacious new Birthing Center.

“This is a great addition to our area’s healthcare choices,” says Mary Terryberry, RN, nurse manager of the hospital’s Birthing Center. “Some patients prefer to have a woman physician care for them during pregnancy. Now, they can choose one of two excellent doctors who are known for their gentle, understanding manner—and do so knowing they will be able to deliver their baby here at the Birthing Center.”

Dr. Wendling is at Boyne Area Medical Center Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Patients may call the Center at (231) 582-5314 to set up an appointment. Dr. Doskoch will see patients for prenatal care at Charlevoix Women’s Health Care on Tuesday and Friday. The phone number is (231) 547-4477.
