Westside Family Health has been exceptional for our family. Dr. Javdan in particular has been…read moreincredibly helpful to us and our family, and we're very grateful for the care, guidance, and attention he has provided. What makes Westside Family Health especially different is that they are a nonprofit with a genuine focus on preventative care. They're not in the business of selling procedures or maximizing the number of services you receive. Their focus is on keeping you healthy, identifying problems early, and helping connect you with the right specialists when needed. In a healthcare system where financial incentives can too often influence care, it is incredibly reassuring to feel that the people advising you are looking first at your health and not their bottom line. They're also incredibly easy to work with--responsive, thoughtful, and very good at helping us navigate the healthcare system. We feel very fortunate to have Westside Family Health as part of our family's healthcare. Highly recommend.

I also brought my little one to see if there's any tension that needed to be addressed and she was so amazing with my bubbah! Her space/office is so zen, clean and well thought of. The ambiance is peaceful and safe. We appreciate her accommodation during the consult as well as the preceding sessions. She makes you feel like she's there to listen and address what you're there for.

Dr. Jenny is the BEST Mercier therapist & chiropractor on the planet. Picture the nicest person you…read moreknow... now triple their niceness... that's Dr. Jenny!!! I initially found Dr. Jenny when looking for help with infertility. She is a trained Mercier Therapist which is basically massage and manual movement of the uterus and ovaries. You buy a series of session and while it is expensive it is completely worth every penny. I don't want to be gross here goes... Prior to Dr. Jenny my cycles were short & dark brown in color which now I know isn't the healthiest?. After my second Mercier session something big came out of me & released in the shower. Gross I know but also amazing right!? Then, my next period came and it was completely different - bright red & healthy! Mercier is truly unbeliv As someone with back pain More than half my life, I know almost every Chiropractor in town. Dr. Jenny is the real deal. She gives the gentle adjustments & listens to your body & any feedback you give her to ensure you are completely comfortable with her work. This is so critical because adjustments where the Chiro is just cracking away while the patient is uncomfortable can hurt the patient and create additional problems. Believe me I've lived through this. Beyond being an incredible Mercier & chiropractor, Dr Jenny is like a friend and therapist to me. She's knowledgeable in many areas & gives sage advice when asked (she isn't pushy or bossy - again she's so gentle!). She's full of resources & tips which she'll email post appointment. Tip: She has packages which brings the price down & is a great deal. Parking Tip: Park in their lot. It's really cheap. Sometimes it's full so snag free parking on Bentley Ave, walk down the alley & Enter through the garage.

Completely unprofessional and neglectful. My experience with Jennifer as a midwife was truly…read moredisturbing. This was my first pregnancy and I was relying on Jennifer to guide me through birth. A couple hours after my contractions became constant and increasingly intense, I called her. She told me to lay down and get some sleep, that it would be at least 24 hours. When I asked if I should let her know when contractions reached a certain timing, she told me not to time them at all. I asked when she would know to come, and her answer was: "I'll hear it in your voice." Apparently that means when you can't speak then she'll come. Four hours later, I gave birth. During that time, I labored alone--scared, confused, and unsupported. Jennifer did not check in with me by text or phone. The doula Jennifer referred me to was also no help during labor. I called her 4 times to please come but she kept saying it wasn't time yet and only telling me to keep breathing over the phone. I felt helpless. Finally, after the fourth call she came and arrived at 10:30, by 11:20pm I gave birth. Jennifer didn't arrive until 12:30am--well after my baby was born. I was worried because she lived over 40 mins away but always told me she would be there. She reassured me she never missed a birth which is obviously a lie. Afterwards, when I tried to express how traumatic this was for me she took no accountability. She claimed she did everything right and only blamed the doula for not communicating with her. She also put the blame on me claiming my labor was just "too fast." She had always told me to wait until she arrived for the tub because she would set everything up. So everything we planned was pointless, I gave birth standing up over my bathroom counter. She said there were absolutely no refunds and never apologized for what I went through. I was robbed of my water birth experience. This was supposed to be a supported, empowering home birth. Instead, it was the most frightening experience of my life. I'm now terrified of ever getting pregnant again. I could never recommend Jennifer as a midwife she will not be there when you need her the most.

Johanna made our home birth experience one that we will never forget. After talking to over a dozen…read moremidwives and looking even in other states for the perfect match, our last phone call was from a referral to Johanna. Her gentle and confident approach made us feel safe. Johanna is never in a rush whether it be during her pre-and postnatal visits or with a question over the phone, she is always there and present when you need her. She is reliable, accommodating, always on time and keeps her word. Johanna's visits taught us so much and answered many questions that we never would have known who to ask them to. The prenatal visits made us so much more prepared as first time parents not just for a healthy and satisfying birth, but also with questions such as sleeping arrangements, breast-feeding support, pregnancy clothing, and postnatal support to name a few. Johanna seemed to know exactly what we wanted out of our birth beyond what we even knew, and made the birth experience memorable and very enjoyable. With her vast experience as a second generation midwife, she has seen it all and is full of options that makes her a truly one-size-fits-all midwife! Through the time we spent together, Johanna became not only a friend, but a genuine part of our family. As very strategic and prudent people, Johanna truly exceeded our expectations of what a midwife could be and the services she provides. We hope to have the privilege of using Johanna again if we have the blessing of another birth in the future. Words can't express how valuable and what a gem she truly is. Obviously, we highly recommend her.

But I am finally here to tell you all about my experience with the godsend of a woman, Laura Erlich!!!! I met Laura in 2019 after my first appointment with Dr. Baek at California Fertility Partners, when I was exploring egg freezing. The first three things that Dr. Baek had me do was - stop smoking pot, stop drinking coffee and go see Laura for acupuncture. A few months later I ended up deciding to wait on that plan just a bit before Covid hit (when I met my amazing husband:) Jump to 2022, where we decided to freeze embryos prior to getting married (we are old - I was 39 and my soon to be husband was 48). We figured, let's get the best eggies out now, just in case trying to conceive on our own the following year didn't pan out. So naturally, I went straight back to see Laura. And this is when the real love affair began! After 6 months of prep and a successful cycle, we ended up freezing two embryos. Then took a break from all things fertility to get married and live that newlywed life for the rest of the year! Once 2023 rolled around we knew we wanted to start trying naturally, so right back to Laura I went. And over the next 6 months she was instrumental in preparing my body and that July we found out we were pregnant!!! Ok, so you might think this is where the story ends, but honestly, this is kind of where it really gets good! During he 10 months of my pregnancy we put together an incredible team. Our midwife, Jessica Diggs, our doula, Katharine Deeb and the real star of the show (besides my growing boy;), Laura! Laura became a third partner in our preparation. Not only as a practitioner but as a friend who gave the most helpful and beneficial advice. There is nothing I wouldn't do if Laura told me to do it. My trust in her, her experience, her talents and her wisdom knows no bounds. She helped with every single facet of my pregnancy and I am beyond thankful in every way. And when I called Laura at 41+4, after 4 days of prodromal labor, I told her I was considering going the castor oil route to get things go though it went against everything I had be planning on doing...which was trusting my sweet boy to come at the exact moment he was ready. After listening to all of my reasons for and reasons against, Laura reminded me of what I now know to be the most important piece of advice...be the cat in the closet. Now that probably won't make much sense to you now if you are just starting to explore fertility acupuncture. But, that phrase, coming from Laura, who reminded me of everything I had spent so long working towards, changed everything. I skipped the castor oil and gave birth the next day. I could honestly go on and on about how instrumental Laura was during this incredibly exciting, trying, exhausting, rewarding, etc. etc. etc., time in my life. But I'll leave you with this instead... If even the smallest part of you is considering inviting Laura to be a part of your fertility journey, stop right now and just make an appointment. What she provides is worth every penny and I believe that every woman owes it to herself to have someone like her in their corner.

They were ALL very inconsiderate and disrespectful. For starters, when we arrived, we were told my 10yo son (proudly wearing his Big Brother t-shirt) had to sit in one of the doctors' offices or the lobby. I said, "Yeah, not alone.. we just drove an hour, and he'll sit there quietly, not in the way. " I was told it was pandemic protocol, even though it's May 2024, and everyone in the office was wearing a protective N95. Let's relax, alright? During the ultrasound, I was told I have too much amniotic fluid. So, of course, I start to worry. I was told it could be due to too much glucose and was then grilled about my diet. I am a small framed woman & very healthy. She told me to cut back on granola and cereal, lol, even though I don't consume those particular items. Why not mention how stress/cortisol can cause glucose spikes or make a recommendation for a blood test to determine glucose levels more accurately before nitpicking my diet? Anyway. That's not the biggest deal. She also told me my baby is very large, measuring ahead, yada yada. Doulas, and those in the birth world know what that means. It's usually inaccurate fear mongering to push vulnerable women in to inductions or scheduled surgical births. Once those women give birth, whether vaginally or via surgery, most of the time their babies are normal weight and FINE, sometimes even small (6lbs). So no, I will not be giving in to the fear mongering. I've dreamed of having a surprise gender birth. People always ask what we are having, and I happily respond, "we are waiting to find out until the birth day!". My husband and I told every single person in that office we do NOT want to know the sex, we are waiting to be surprised at birth. Dr. Silver did ask us all to turn our heads, I'll give her that, but then printed out a picture showing very clearly BOY. Like what in the actual fuck. Her tech also said at the end, HE has a cute face. Um, what? HE? I asked her why she said that, and she stumbled and said, "Oh, I say that about all babies... I don't like saying -it-". I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. I'm expected to believe she calls female babies HE? Not a chance. Not that I am upset about having another son. I don't care as long as my baby is healthy!! It's the fact that we said REPEATEDLY NOT to tell us. I left sobbing. The absolute worst day, which we were all looking forward to. Thanks for ruining our surprise Dr.Silver & team!! You're all cold and callous, like these other negative reviews say. If I need to have a follow-up to check my placenta again, I'll be seeking a second opinion elsewhere.

She gave us two house visits in advance of the birth that allowed us to practice different partner positions at home for early labor that we successfully used for the real thing! When it came time for the actual birth, she was a fierce advocate for us at Cedars Sinai Hospital. She ensured we had the best and most experienced team, she also coached me (the mom) through the process with a loud and clear voice which I could follow until the baby arrived. For postpartum care, she provided a sense of ease when we arrived home and everything felt unknown and scary. She gave me (mom) tips on breastfeeding in person, she showed us how to bathe our daughter and made us feel comfortable holding her in different positions. Finally, she is incredibly responsive and always provides a sense of calm in her communications.

She has an INCREDIBLE amount of resources to share, videos, her book, her website with recommendations, and her own incredible expertise after nearly 1200 births. She also just has a wonderful personality and vibe. Definitely the person you want on your team. She advocated for me in the best way, gave my husband a break at the right time (just before I went into active labor...she knew!), made sure we had a delayed cord clamping, helped with our birth plan! She also filmed my birth, which is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. She is a lactation consultant, so she had my baby latching within 30 minutes of birth on both sides! I feel very lucky, my baby has been exclusively breastfeeding ever since. She made 4 house visits, two before the birth and two after. The visits were also invaluable! She was able to help my husband and I practice laboring positions and prepare for baby on one visit, the next visit she took a look at our nursery and our set up. The final two visits postpartum, she helped us learn to play with our baby so she will have more productive feedings and sleep, and the final visit she showed us how to do our first bath. She's a genius. I honestly wish that every pregnant person could work with her. If you're on the fence, I'm here to tell you, Giuditta was one of the most important and instrumental people in my pregnancy, birth, labor and postpartum.
