Dr. Michael James Paul, MD

I would highly recommend this practice & doctor to anyone!! He delivered both of my boys healthy even though there were some scary things along the way, I could not have felt more confident in his choices. He is in my opinion, the BEST OB out there! If you are looking for a good doctor who has the interest of your baby and yourself in mind, he is the doctor for you! You may have to wait a long time during appointments but if you are getting the best care, who cares. The only reason you may have to wait is because of someone going into labor & him having to deliver or he is taking care of a serious time sensitive matter! HE IS THE BEST & I WOULDN'T TRUST ANYONE ELSE DELIVERING MY KIDS!!

I'm a year due on my review, but here it goes. I transferred from CA when I was over 20 weeks pregnant, and being over 40 years old, I decided to go for a high pregnancy risk Dr. Everything was fine until I moved to St Louis and started having contractions. Dr Paul, Missy and his team were wonderful in taking care of myself and my baby. He was born at 37 weeks, a healthy boy. I'm convinced I have a healthy child today because of Dr Paul (and Missy! :)). I spent 7 weeks in bed rest and their expertise allowed me to keep my baby long enough to reach the 37th week. He takes his time with his patients (which reflects in some longer wait times, but I think it's worth it!). I highly recommend Dr Paul.

Dr Paul is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever seen. I was referred to him by my regular OB-GYN for a procedure, after I developed an unexpected complication at 5 months pregnant. I was confused and nervous about the procedure but Dr Paul took great pains to put my husband and me at ease. He addressed all our concerns with the utmost patience and monitored me closely throughout the time that I was in hospital. During the 5 months that I was in his care, Dr Paul made me feel as if I was his priority. He gave my husband and me his undivided attention during all our appointments and provided us the reassurance and hope that we could eventually have a baby after six years of trying and three miscarriages. It is entirely due to his care that we now have our precious baby girl. I cannot thank him enough.

I went into preterm labor at 24 weeks and my liver function started failing at around 30 weeks. With Dr. Paul's help I was able to make it to 35 weeks and delivered 2 healthy, 5 lb baby girls. I fully believe they wouldn't be here if it weren't for his help. His entire office staff is amazing.

Incredible, supportive and brilliant physician!

Fabulous experience throughout my entire pregnancy!

My wife had a very difficult pregnancy with our twins, including five incidents of premature labor. Dr. Paul's clinical expertise may be the only reason our twins made it to term. As far as bedside manner, my wife felt like she was his only patient. He's just a naturally warm and empathetic human being. Happy to say our twins, a boy and a girl, will turn 21 this Saturday.

This is the best doctor I have ever encountered. Performed my TAC surgery and treats as though I am an individual person and not a statistical number. I can not say enough good things about him.

I was referred to Dr. Paul by another OBGYN because of my high risk pregnancy. I was nervous to switch doctors, but soon after my arrival in Dr. Paul's office, I felt comfortable and my mind was at ease. His staff is incredible, every person I came into contact with was friendly, professional, and gave me the feeling that I could talk to them about anything. Both of his ultrasound technicians are outstanding as well, and I always left my ultrasounds feeling informed. Also, his nurse practitioner is truly one of the nicest people I've ever met. I felt as if I had known her my whole life and her knowledge and expertise really shows. From the second I met Dr. Paul he was kind, caring, and professional in a way that really made me realize how wonderful he is, not only as an OBGYN, but as a person. He cares about his patients more than any doctor I've ever met. At times I was scared or nervous about something going on in my pregnancy, and he was always able to reassure me and make me smile.… For instance, at one point in my pregnancy I had appendicitis and had to get my appendix removed. Although he was not the surgeon who did the procedure, Dr. Paul came to the hospital several times to make sure that me and the baby were okay. I feel as though he goes above and beyond what would be expected from an OBGYN. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know with confidence that he would treat them just as great as he did me. I appreciate everything he did for me, and I will definitely be returning to his office should my husband and I decide to have another child.

Dr. Paul was fully invested in the care of me and my twins from the first day I saw him. This was my first pregnancy, which was complicated by pre-term labor, eventually leading to pre-term delivery of my babies at 22 weeks. Despite the fact that we lost our babies, I can truly say that Dr. Paul did everything humanly possible to keep my pregnancy going as long as possible. He is kind, gentle, and reassuring and has many years of experience caring for complicated pregnancies. He is aggressive in treating patients and takes risks that may not be standard, but this is what I wanted as a woman who is desperate to have a healthy baby. It's clear that he deeply cares about his patients. I trust him with my life and will go back to him again with my next pregnancy.
