Women’s Health Care

I cannot say enough great things about Mary and Elissa and the staff at WHC. I knew after the birth of my son in 2012 that ended in an unnecessary C-​section that I wanted to have a VBAC with my next child. I joined my local ICAN chapter and did my research and found that WHC has one of the highest VBAC success rates in the area. I had a consultation with Mary and felt very confident that my baby and I would be well taken care of. I was always in and out of the office without much of a wait and I never felt rushed at any appointments. Towards the end of my pregnancy I did not want to have any pelvic exams. I was always asked if I wanted one rather than being told I needed one and when I declined, they completely respected my decision. There was never any talk of scheduling a repeat C-​section. I went into labor on my own at 40 weeks + 3 days and had a beautiful, unmedicated VBAC birth at TGH with Tammy. I could not have asked for more. These women are truly supportive of women and their birth choices. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a personal, caring provider.

Hello ladies 22 yrs old First time mommy here, Im due Dec 8^th and have been seeing a Midwife. I honestly would not recommend this location nor the midwifes. All started after I started to have more questions and concerns I would ask my midwife by this point i was 4 months along. She started to be very vague and had open ended answers with my concerns and questions. On most of my last visits (approx last 3 visits) with her I felt like she rushed me to see her next patient, not only that when my fiancé and I decided to keep a copy of my medical records at home, her staff and her gave me such a hard time to obtain my records. OMG I was in shock all the darn questions they were asking me and insisting on knowing before they finally gave me the paperwork. They even tried telling me they couldn’t prepare it and that it would be ready for me on my next visit. What! Ridiculous! It’s in their system, their computer. What the hell do you mean it can’t be prepared then and there. !!!
My mother had told me she felt more comfortable if I saw a OB (Medical Doctor) then a midwife primarily because what if «god forbid» I have to go into a emergency C-​section, the midwife would then have to call on one of the On-​Call doctors to preform it because midwifes cannot preform this procedure. I explained this matter also to my midwife and her staff, she had the audacity to tell me they could do anything a OB/​GYN could. I was blown away. I put them all in there place because they didn’t know they were trying to fool the wrong person with a fiancé in the medical field that actually knows the truth about these kinds of things.
