It wasn't crowded, and the waiting area was comfortable (although we had no wait). I don't remember the names of the Dr or the receptionist or nurse on staff, but they were exceptionally sweet, efficient and completely professional. This ER provided fantastic service! Thank you for making an unfortunate event far much better because of your compassion!

Nepotism is high and it's not what you know but whom you know. This administration is unable to enforce a dress code let alone something serious. They also tend to "interpret" the rules as they fit and not in the spirit in which they were written. Problems are more than one could sit and write down.

I chose Serena to be our midwife in the depths of covid lockdown. Something in my heart just knew…read moreshe was the one I wanted to be at Felix's birth and to care for us both before and after. (I had already chosen a different midwife but the fit just wasn't quite right.) Serena helped me navigate minor challenges as they arose throughout pregnancy. She had all the great tactical, practical solutions, but more importantly, she always, ALWAYS, led me back to myself. Her trust in my body, my baby, and in me helped me to have an incredible, empowering birth. For that and a thousand other little things, I'll always be grateful my intuition led me to Serena.

We feel so blessed to have found Serena! I was due with my…read morefirst baby girl in April 2020. I was fully planning on having a hospital birth, and was going to an Obgyn for all my prenatal care. COVID-19 hit, and we were concerned for our safety giving birth at the hospital. When I was about 3-weeks out, and we decided to hire Serena and deliver our baby at home.  I can tell you first hand that the level of service between my Obgyn and Serena was night and day. I went from 10-15min appointments that felt very rushed, to hour long appointments that felt so personalized and holistic. I think when you choose to deliver at a hospital, you are expected to take a handful of parenting classes because your Obgyn won't have enough time to discuss these things with you. Going to Serena was like a "one stop shop". She clearly goes over what to expect during labor, the pros and cons to all the newborn shots, breastfeeding, and postpartum care. Her office is conveniently located right off of the highway, has plenty of parking, and her fee was 100% covered by our insurance.   She gave us very clear instructions for setting up our home for a clean & safe delivery - we never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. It was so nice having her by my side during labor. It's painful, and messy, but she is a rockstar and got me through it with style and grace. We delivered a healthy baby girl, and were all toasting with champagne in the comfort of our home =) I would have to say her 6week postpartum care went above and beyond our expectations! She was always available over the phone if we had any concerns. I could just text her a picture, and she would let me know that everything was normal. Breastfeeding is a journey of its own, and as a first time mom I had no idea what to expect. Serena does home visits, and provided me one-on-one breastfeeding coaching. We would absolutely use her services again. Thank you so much Serena!
