If I could give FBC 10 stars, I would! Dawn has been in practice since 2000 and has delivered over…read more1,200 babies. This number is quickly growing! She's training a student Midwife Nicole who is exceptional and several doulas right now. When I got pregnant with our second I knew I wanted to have a natural birth with a midwife and was lucky enough to come across FBC. They do fill up quickly because they can only take so many patients at one time. They have two birth suites that are very calming with a giant tub, bed, and any labor tool you would need to get through a natural birth. They even offer Nitrous Oxide as a coping mechanism if desired. There is so much autonomy to going through FBC for your birth and you will never feel forced into anything. You dictate how you want your birth experience to go and that was exactly the case for me. I made it to 41 weeks and 1 day and was losing my mind, Dawn was there for me every step of the way. She was so great at calming me down, making great recommendations and truly cared deeply about the prep work I put in for labor beforehand and my prenatal care. They care so much about your diet, prenatal supplements, health, exercise, things you can do to prepare your body for a natural labor both mentally and physically, as well as your immediate care after birth. I felt like my birth team had my back and was there for me every step of the way. I ended up having Dawn break my water at 41 weeks + 1 day and my labor lasted for 5 hours. I pushed for 2 minutes and our little man was here. I truly think a lot of this had to do with Dawn + her team's recommendations and the prep work I did beforehand. I would highly recommend going to FBC! They will empower you to have the birth of your dreams and give you all of the tools you need to do so! They do work with insurance carriers which made this even more affordable for us but they do payment plans so you are paid in full by the time you give birth and don't have to worry about that right after. The office staff is great and were amazing to work with for paperwork, scheduling and insurance!

I am so grateful for the team that midwife Dawn Meier has assembled at the Naples Family Birth…read moreCenter. Throughout my pregnancy, the team was always so communicative and every appointment the midwives, both Dawn and Nicole, were happy to discuss any questions I had (and there were many as this was my first pregnancy!) My labor was long and difficult due to baby being in a less than optimal position, but Nicole worked with us through the entire process and the birth center's doula (Kennedy) was there for us the moment we arrived at the birth center to coach us through the hours of active labor. Our birth team enabled me to have the natural delivery I wanted, even with the unexpected challenges.

I truly can't put into words how grateful I am for my birth doula and everything she did for me…read moreduring one of the most intense and unexpected experiences of my life. My labor escalated extremely fast after my water broke, and within a short time, everything became overwhelming. What started as a normal situation quickly turned into something scary, with intense contractions and my baby's heart rate dropping. I ended up needing an emergency C-section, which was not at all what I had planned. In the middle of all that fear and chaos, my doula was a steady, calming presence. She helped guide us to the hospital sooner when things didn't feel right, and that made a huge difference. When everything shifted so quickly, she helped keep me and my partner as calm and informed as possible. What meant the most to me was how she continued to support us even when things didn't go as planned. While I was taken back for surgery, she stayed with my partner, helping him understand what was happening and making sure he wasn't alone during such a scary moment. That level of care and compassion is something I will never forget. She didn't just support me physically--she supported us emotionally before, during, and after the birth. Even postpartum, she continued to check in and be there for us as we processed everything. If you're looking for a doula who will truly be in your corner no matter how your birth unfolds, I can't recommend her enough. She made a difficult and unexpected experience feel supported, safe, and a little less overwhelming. Will 100% be calling her for our next baby I love destiny she's an amazing woman!!!

Dr G stated he would preform a 2nd exploratory surgery to see what was going on - oh & also said he would throw in a mini-tummy tuck (that I paid out of pocket $5K in total) Absolute nightmare!! This practice performs surgery at a surgical center (not hospital) - I highly suggest stay away from doctors not utilizing a hospital. tI was slapped awake and kicked to the curb. Immediately was not well! Diagnosed with three separate infections at surgical site -from tummy tuck preformed by a urologist, referred (kicked down the road) to injection Disease, Soon after developed a massive abdominal seroma & multiple infections. The initial seroma drain yielded 2 liters of fluid in my lower abdomen. - Dr Guata could offer no help or support.
