A member asked:

How do you find the c-section and episiotomy rates for a particular doctor and/or hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This varies from hospital to hospital. Some hospitals may allow access to this information, some may not. You can always ask your doctor. They have a general idea and should be honest about the information. Keep in mind c-sections rates are affected by the number of high risk patients a doctor takes care of.
