I first worked with Sophia just a few days into my breastfeeding journey. The latch was extremely…read morepainful and I was worried about how much milk the baby was getting. Sophia came in with a wonderful & calm energy and she gave me lots of suggestions on how to make the latch much more comfortable. She designed us a plan to breastfeed more as that was my goal and she followed up with me. After a few weeks, I had no more challenges with the breastfeeding! Fast forward a few months when my daughter was no longer accepting the bottle (what a switch)! Sophia came back in again with her wonderful, calming energy and got my daughter to drink from the bottle and gave us pointers on how to do it ourselves. Now we are successfully able to switch between breast and bottle, no problem! Thank you Sophia, you have greatly aided my breastfeeding journey!

Sophia is hands down the best lactation consultant I've ever experienced/worked with. I wish I had…read moremet her when I had my first baby as she is currently helping me on my breastfeeding journey with my second child after my son's tongue and lip ties were released. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, patient, provides evidence-based recommendations and truly prioritizes mom's wellbeing as well as baby's. My husband was able to join us for part of her in-home visit and said he learned so much and we both felt so much more confident and empowered. She immediately sent a full plan via email reiterating the tips and info she shared during the visit for reference. Lactation support and education should be accessible to every mother when considering the immense benefits of breastfeeding - and Sophia made sure we had all the tools for success, making herself available at any point in the future for any other questions we had. On top of it all, she is a lovely human who is genuinely passionate about what she does and strongly advocates for mom and baby. Highly highly recommend!

We moved to Briarvista after it was recommended to us by a friend and a lactation consultant. We have been exceedingly satisfied with our care at Briarvista. Our son has needed to be seen many times due to various illnesses outside of well visits, so we have seen all the providers at some point, and all have been excellent. Can't recommend them enough!

While we've always received excellent care from Bethany Smith, the front office staff continues to fall short in customer service. I scheduled wellness visits for all three of my children, but later noticed only two were listed. I called and the third was added something I appreciated. We arrived at 10:03 AM, assuming all appointments began at 10:00. I was told my third child's was actually at 9:50 and we had missed the 10-minute grace period. I explained the misunderstanding, our full-time work schedules, and that school starts soon, but the front desk and manager refused to accommodate us. While still in the office, I even received a text saying I'd be charged a $40 no-show fee. Thankfully, Dr. Nina Chegireddy kindly saw my third child without hesitation for which I'm very grateful. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've experienced dismissive treatment from the front office, but it will be the last. In my years there, I have never missed an appointment, cancelled last min, or arrived after the grace period. We drive over 30 mins to come to this office out of loyalty. Even when we moved, we visited their other locations. I understand doing business but to shorten the grace period and turn parents away is very upsetting.

Also, if you need urgent medical records, the best they can do is 5-7 days. Medicals records are filled out incorrectly, "misplaced", and you can never get someone on the phone who takes ownership.

We were fairly new to GA and I procrastinated so bad on finding a doula we actually met Melissa…read moreafter baby Declan was ready here (he decided to come early and I am the queen procrastinator). I found her on Yelp and she was my savings grace. Always on time, upbeat, and encouraging me to sit down, relax, go nap/shower and offering me help. Upon first meeting we hit it off so well but I'm a slight introvert so her first time arriving to my home to help I was nervous and didn't really know what to expect but sure enough she showed up with a smile and some comfort for me and my kiddos. Day 1 she came with some toy dinosaurs for my older (2yo) to play with- I thought it was the sweetest gesture to think of him. She happily baby wore 3w old Declan while cleaning around the house and filling in so I could get in some much needed self care. Look no further y'all Melissa is great!

I am so happy to have had Melissa as part of my birth team. We were on the fence about hiring a…read moredoula, but after talking with Melissa both in our initial interview and then later during our home visit, we knew that having her as an advocate was worth the investment. We interviewed a few doulas and decided to work with Melissa because she brought the most experience and professionalism to the job. Not only was she able to bring her extensive knowledge of pregnancy and birthing to all of my questions, she also, when appropriate, could chime in with her personal experience as a mother. While I was pregnant and after my son was born, Melissa was always available to answer any questions and address my many worries as they came up. What I have really valued was that she was proactive- she would reach out frequently just to make sure things were going ok. This was especially helpful in the weeks after birth as I was struggling with breastfeeding and being a new mom in general, and Melissa was able to be a sounding board for all of my concerns. I always know that I can reach out to her with seemingly trivial questions and have her validate my concerns, listen, suggest solutions, or provide additional information. Finally, Melissa was wonderful during the birth! When things started to go off plan, Melissa helped me think through and feel comfortable with what was happening. During the labor, I will never forget Melissa's cool hands and soothing words swooping in to calm both me and my husband. Somehow, in the middle of helping me labor, she was also able to take pictures on her phone of the whole birth, and the first moments of our son's life, that we will cherish forever. After the birth, she was there to help me breastfeed for the first time and stayed with us until we were ready to go to the recovery room. I recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a doula!

I didn't think she would have taken me as her client because I was already 39 weeks pregnant at our first meeting. The night I went into labor at 41 weeks, she showed up ready...essential oils and all! She was with my Husband and I for every step of the way (triage to an hour or so after the baby arrived) and she respected/supported EVERY decision my Husband and I made. She never once appeared tired, impatient, or frustrated with the birthing progress. We had a completely natural birth (in a hospital setting) but having Shiphrah and my Husband there made me feel like I was in the comfort of my own home- despite all the unnecessary hospital chaos that was happening around me. I would definitely use her again! I still think about the back rubs, the counter pressure, hugs, breathing techniques, leg rubs, smiles, reassurance, and just calm spirit she maintained to help me through such a painful & beautiful time! We need more empowering women of faith like this in the community, My husband and I thank God for her!

Yolanda was (and still is) truly a blessing during my pregnancy and postpartum. I have a good support system around me but I wanted someone with more experience in the field of entering motherhood. My husband and family initially did not see the need for a doula but once they saw her in action and how much knowledge she gave us they quickly changed their minds. You can tell she loves what she does and has a love for her mamas and their families. She will definitely be hired for baby #2 for us. I am truly grateful!

I was introduced to Doula View by a friend while taking water aerobics less than halfway through my…read morepregnancy. My first pregnancy had resulted in a stillbirth & I was more than a little anxious about this experience. I wanted someone in the room who wasn't as clueless as I was who know their way around the medical lingo. I found all of this and more! We had a few meetings set up prior to delivery. We went over the goals, discussed my health concerns so she would be aware, she met my husband & we got on the same page regarding what my medical professionals were telling me. My situation was unique in that I was to be induced at 37 weeks, so it seemed to be more of a scheduling situation than anything. BUT, baby decided that she calls shots, I went into labor that day. She was so helpful throughout the delivery, keeping me calm, there as we pushed & assisted in the breastfeeding. After I got home & was CLUELESS, she even came to the house & walked me through it. A billion times more helpful than the hospital Lactation consultant. Highly recommend this service for a personal experience for one of the most important times of your life!

She leads with both heart and knowledge. Doula View was an excellent choice!

There was so much I didn't know about Breastfeeding, and she graciously filled in any gaps I brought to her with experience and resources. She cared for our family with excellence, and we're grateful to have her in our corner. Even her office space made us not miss home visits so much. You can tell she intentionally wanted mama's to feel comfortable whether it was for observing a feeding session, doing a weighted feed, or changing 4 poop diapers in 30 minutes - the space made you feel at home. I am for sure a more confident nursing mama because of Stacy-Ann and the Gwinnett Breastfeeding team (shoutout to Shanika, Admin Extraordinaire); our family can't recommend her enough!

She provided helpful recommendations for my son's tongue tie, and thanks to her guidance, I had a wonderful breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend her to all moms out there.

I had a very fast and intense labor ending in a much hoped for VBAC!! No interventions, no drugs and a beautiful healthy boy. Ashley was so attentive, so professional and gave me exactly the coaching and support I needed to get through it. I do NOT have a high pain tolerance, and could not have done it without her! She even managed to capture all the special moments right after birth that we certainly would have missed had she not been there! And I could not have been more supported in my choice for a natural VBAC! Thank you so much again Ashley, you definitely have a repeat customer in us!!

She answered many questions I had and provided documentation up until delivery day. Let me tell you how happy I am she was there. She was a trooper. From 12pm to 6:30a.m the next morning. she was by my side supporting me and my husband the entire time. My epidural left me with a hotspot across my lower abdomen that was not reached by the epidural. The pain for me was intense. She stayed by me offering breathing guidance,rubbing my back and offered peppermint oil as I kept becoming very nauseas from the pain. I had a very hard time and could not have done it without her. Eventually a c section had to be done as I stalled in dialating enough and could no longer take the pain. Ashley was there again after the c section checking up on me and baby. I appreciate her so much and will be forever grateful to her.
