New Shared Decision Making book by Dr. B helps expecting parents

by DAVIS BROWN PRC Agency

Dr. B. Bootstaylor ascribes to a philosophy of “Shared Decision Making” in maternity care based on his extensive training, deep experience, and genuine belief in empowering your birth journey. Dr. B. obtained his M.D. from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1988. Being Board Certified in both Ob/Gyn & MFM, Dr. B. was on faculty at Beth Israel Medical Center (NYC) from 1994 - 1996, teaching the Resident staff the many birth options that he readily and safely supports. In practice in Atlanta, GA, since 1996 as an Ob & MFM, Dr. B. has developed his shared decision making (SDM) model of care into an inviting process that encourages the mother to engage her maternity care and birth confidently and safely. In working with many health care professionals such as Doulas, Midwives, and Child Birth Educators, Dr. B. creates a healthy environment for the mother to discover her confidence about her birth preferences with a genuinely supportive team (......a nod to his military background on a Special Forces A-team). The concept of “guided discovery” gives a voice to the SDM model that many patients want to be a part of. Patients do not have to fight for this respectful process, as it is the expectation of our partnership with you..., aka SDM. Necessarily you are in alignment with the birth team, an alliance that Dr. B. encourages and has the temperament and vast clinical skills to support safely; a hero’s journey. Dr. B Bootstaylor is launching his brand new book, “Shared Decision Making: Bring Birth Back Into The Hands Of Mothers Vol1.” The book is set to go live today and will be available through Amazon. This book is expected to become a big hit with fans of the Maternal & Midwifery world.

When asked about why he wrote the book, Bootstaylor said: “Admittedly, my experience allows me to support a variety of scientifically supported safe birth options comfortably, but my passion for writing this book was formed in the birth stories—the stories of Shared Decision Making with the alignment to Bring Birth Back Into The Hands Of Mothers.”
