My husband and I were pregnant with our first child and weren't sure we wanted to do a home birth…read more We agreed we'd meet with Cheryl and ask questions, and we wouldn't go for it unless we both felt certain is was right. After meeting initially with Cheryl, we both were certain that we wanted not only a home birth, but her to be the midwife who helped prepare us and ultimately help us bring our son into the world. Thought there are a million reasons we'd recommend her, ill name a few big ones here: 1. Resourceful: Cheryl knows what she's talking about. She is a constant learner and goes above and beyond what is required for her CPM. Our questions were met with well thought out answers and we felt much more confident as we made our decisions on things like cord clamping, vaccinations, etc. 2. Compassionate: Cheryl cares deeply for her clients. She was a great support, and helped us process emotionally as we prepared for our birth...I hadn't anticipated that on top of our typical prenatal care. 3. Assertive: She is direct in the best way. Enough said. 4. She helps you through the waiting: i was 18 past my baby's "due date" and it was very hard. I was met with a lot of discouragement and opposition from others and Cheryl was a contact source of encouragement as we stuck to our plan to wait. 5. She was encouraging and professional as she was with us in labor. Ultimately she was exactly what we needed! Do yourself a favor and meet with Cheryl! She is so much more than a midwife to our little family

My home birth with Cheryl at Midwife KC was such a great experience! It was my first home birth, I…read morefelt like I was in good hands during my whole pregnancy and birth. I have had 3 babies at hospitals, one at a birth center and my 5th one I had a home birth with Cheryl. My home birth was my favorite experience, I enjoyed being able to labor in the comfort of my own home and have a large tub to deliver my baby and have a great midwife by my side. Cheryl was encouraging at every step along the way and she was so knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor and delivery and my newborn. If I have another baby I would definitely go back to Cheryl with midwife KC!

My wife and I have appreciated Dr. Simpson's chiropractic care. She is careful and explains what…read moreshe is doing. It is nice to have a good chiropractor here in town (instead of having to drive almost an hour to one in Kansas City).

My whole family loves Dr. Simpson. I'll be the first to admit, I have been wary of chiropractors…read morefor quite some time. I always brushed it aside as some sort of voodoo medicine. I think this is in part due to not really understanding what chiropractors do (and how they're trained), and also a previous bad experience with an acupuncturist/chiropractor (who I only saw for acupuncture). My husband was the first to start seeing Dr. Simpson for some back issues he'd been having for quite some time. She did a very thorough assessment of him, including x-rays, which I didn't realize chiropractors did, and came up with a treatment plan for him. After just a few visits he was feeling much better. As Dr. Simpson specializes in prenatal care, she encourage my husband to bring me in (as I was pregnant at the time). Many of my friends had been seeing her too and spoke highly of her. I was still skeptical but decided to give her a shot. Long story short... my visits with her made my pregnancy a much better experience! With my first pregnancy, I had significant sciatic nerve pain, and this time it was VERY minimal (I also attribute that to working out regularly this pregnancy whereas I didn't last time). She also helped me overall with back and hip pain, and even pelvic pain. She also specializes in working with children. Our 20 month old was going through a significant sleep regression, and I had heard chiropractic care could help, so we figured we'd give it a shot. My daughter is pretty wary of doctors touching her, but Dr. Simpson is basically the child whisperer. My daughter was very at ease with her and even laid on the adjustment table by herself and let Dr. Simpson touch her! My husband and I were both amazed as our daughter usually recoils and hisses at the ped when she comes at our daughter with just a stethoscope! After just the first visit, we saw a major improvement in our daughter's sleep, and after several visits, she was 100% back on track, which was a life saver when the baby came! Lastly, I have taken my newborn to see her as well. During the first few weeks, he was having a lot of trouble passing gas and having bowel movements. We brought him in to have a very simple and gentle adjustment with Dr. Simpson - and just a wee bit after his visit with her, we got a good size poop. Only parents can appreciate the excitement in that, especially after baby has been struggling! Ever since that one visit, he has been fantastic with his passing of gas and stools. Hooray for poop! So, to sum up, Dr. Simpson is amazing! She's been great with my entire family and all our various needs. Her office space is great, kid friendly and welcoming. We will continue visiting her as long as we call Leavenworth home!

Today, I want to thank Maryann, sonographer for the extra time she took with me to explain the entire process, just to put me at ease.

I have seen several of the doctors and midwives over the years at the WHCG's Overland Park…read morelocation. I have been very pleased with each one. Dr. Schlicter delivered my first baby but retired right after. Since then I had Dr. Proffitt and Dr. Moulton for prenatal care and from a women's health perspective they were both intelligent, caring and passionate providers. Dr. Proffitt delivered my second son and I would absolutely trust him to do it again. I think he ran from his office to the hospital ; - ) There are times when the doctors are called out to the adjacent hospital ( Overland Park Regional) and the other providers have to fill in - when that happens scheduling does a great job of alerting you so that you can reschedule or see another provider. Friendly nursing, administrative staff and billing staff. Accessible online portal. Billing staff is great and the office is kid friendly and clean.

I had my first baby in September 2024 at a planned home birth with Julie and Kara. I don't doubt…read morethat people have had positive experiences with them, but I felt unsupported and unsafe in their care when it mattered most. If I had seen a story like mine I would have chosen a different provider, and I hope to give others an opportunity to make a fully informed decision. The week leading up to my labor was when things began to take a turn. I reached out to Julie when I noticed a green discharge a day concerned that it might be amniotic fluid. She dismissed my concern after reviewing a photo. 4 days later I went into spontaneous labor. Julie forgot to take my temperature when she arrived. One hour after my daughter was born, she used traction to help deliver the placenta and I subsequently had a postpartum hemorrhage and lost 2 liters of blood. I then transferred to the hospital. Once there, I got confirmation that my membranes had been ruptured for close to 5 days as I had a high fever and elevated white blood cell count. I want to say that I am grateful for Julie's persistence when my uterus was failing to contract and I was bleeding. She diligently performed fundal massage and made sure I received the medication I needed. I believe these were life saving interventions. However, there were other actions that left me feeling unsafe and unsupported at the same time. - Julie asked Kara to set up an IV after I had lost the blood, and Kara was extremely hesitant to do so. Then she attempted to, blew out the vein in my hand and didn't try again. - Julie and Kara squabbled with each other about how to move forward when the placenta still hadn't been delivered. - Julie was not proactive in calling an ambulance or recommending we do so after I lost a large volume of blood. Instead, she asked me if I wanted her to call an ambulance as I was losing consciousness and was hardly in a position to make that decision. - Julie dragged her feet coming to my home once active labor started, not taking me seriously as a first time mom. Finally, when I brought up my concerns to Julie about my experience, she was very dismissive and defensive. She blamed her absenteeism during my labor on the fact that she had 11 births to attend that month, and told me I was lucky to have had a fast first labor but that most people don't. And she essentially admitted to being like OBGYNs that only show up for the birth because she has so many births to attend. Julie and Kara presented themselves as proactive, but when issues arose that was not my experience. And in addition, they do lip service to being unlike OBs and being present, yet really expect to swoop in at the 11th hour to catch your baby. In many instances they abdicated their responsibility and I strongly believe that sheer luck kept things from ending tragically for myself and my daughter.

Having a baby is a big deal, we all know that. However, having a team who will support you and…read moreguide you through your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum is huge. I switched from my normal OBGYN to Kara and Julie when I was 15 weeks pregnant. I attended one of their open house events to get to know them more and understand their philosophy. I had such a different experience from the OBGYN office the moment I stepped in their doorway. Crowded, busy, waiting room? NOPE. Rude receptionist who has no idea who you are, NOPE. Cheese Alert Warning: Midwife Women's Wellness makes me feel at home. Their office is setup to feel homey with numerous couches, play toys for little ones, and no snarky receptionist. I met with Julie the majority of my prenatal checkups and she's my favorite little firecracker. She's honest, forthcoming, and sassy. I did see Kara a few times just in case she was the midwife on call during my delivery and she was! Kara is sweet, gentle, and encouraging. Many people use midwives to have a "natural" birth, but that was never my plan. I knew I would probably end up using an epidural, but I wanted the person delivering my precious girl to actually know my name and have a relationship with me. Yes, I delivered in a hospital. Yes, I used an epidural. But having Kara there through the whole process was amazing. Even at the hospital the day after my baby was born, a nurse commented on how impressed she was that Kara came and checked on me and spent over an hour with us. OBGYNs never do that. Much love to my two favorite midwives!
