I found an OB/GYN based on Google reviews and it also happened to be that she is one of the doctors that serves at the closest hospital to me.
We’ve met her in person twice now, and both times my husband was with me. It feels like she’s just checking a box, has a fake chirpy voice and she barely looks at us when she talks to us. She mainly talks to me, and even after I introduced my husband, she just said a generic hello, with same fake chirpy voice.
I don’t appreciate anyone treating my husband or me poorly and I don’t know her whole demeanour is just unkind and it makes me uneasy.
I don’t know what to do next. This is the closest hospital to me, and so no matter what, I feel like there’s a high likelihood I will encounter her even if I try to change providers.
Do you know if it’s possible to switch hospitals? There’s another one a little further away, and when looking up some of the doctors had pretty good ratings.
I’m 17w and thanking God that everything is normal so far, so I’m also thinking of options such as midwifery.

Identify an OB at another hospital, go back to your family doc and ask to be referred to that OB. It won’t be a big deal. I did it after my first appointment at 20 weeks, the first OB I went to was awful.
Thanks Leigh.
I did just that, and happy that I got in with the doctor we were keen on.

So happy for you!!
