I called to schedule a first pregnancy appointment with Dr. Okamura…read more The office staff informed me that she likes to review new patient requests herself, and decide based on her schedule and patient information whether to take on the patient. They sent her an email with my information, and told me to expect a response the next day. I never received a response. I called every day for a week asking for an update, and every day the answer was that she hasn't gotten around to her email yet. Eventually, I called another practice that scheduled me *on the spot* for an 8 week ultrasound the following week, and an 11 week in office visit with an award winning highly regarded doctor.

Through every step of our through-the-night labor, Tara was present, calming and grounding, and gave so much gentle and helpful guidance around everything from positions to hydration to thinking through key decisions. It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience, and Tara's support was instrumental the whole way. Additionally, everyone we spoke with at Mt. Auburn had such glowing things to say about her when we mentioned we were working with her as our doula. We are so lucky to have been supported by her.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Tara. Having her as our doula for the birth of our…read morethird child at Mount Auburn Hospital was one of the best decisions we made. I was hoping for a VBAC, and Tara's experience, knowledge, and calming presence gave us so much confidence every step of the way. Throughout my pregnancy, she was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and generous with her support- always available to answer questions, explain options, and share tips (including hospital bag suggestions we never would have thought of, even after two previous births!). When early labor stretched on longer than expected, Tara was an absolute rock- providing steady emotional support and helping us navigate our options with clarity and reassurance. Once we were admitted, she arrived immediately and supported me so my wife could get some much-needed rest. As labor intensified, the coping techniques Tara guided me through were essential in helping me achieve the unmedicated birth I had hoped for. Tara's care didn't end after the birth. Her postpartum support was truly invaluable, with regular check-ins and thoughtful, thorough guidance that made such a difference during those early weeks. We are beyond grateful to have worked with Tara- she helped us have the birth experience we dreamed of, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and truly exceptional doula.

My local doctor suggested sewing my eye shut as a response to my eye not closing but when I saw her, she put a tiny platinum weight into my eyelid to help it close. Talk about night and day treatment going from someone who does not know best practices to one who sets the standard for best practices! She has done a Cross Facial Nerve Graft and Grascillus Muscle Transfer as a response to my paralysis and helped me feel better as a person who could then communicate more effectively with the world around me. Every time I have been in her office she is teaching others how to serve patients and I used the word serve because when I go there I feel as if I am a very important person who is getting a queen's treatment. Her staff is amazing and helpful - Bailey helps with logistics when I'm flying there and Mara, the PT is outstanding as well! Thanks Dr. H!

Molly was an invaluable support both emotionally and with practical help during a difficult time. It was like having a wiser, older sister help out and counsel a few times a week.

Highly recommend.

I sent Hilary a message at 2am after months of sleepless nights and she promptly replied the next day and set up a call for us to chat. She completely understood not only what I was going through and the help that my family and I needed but she has the kindest, most caring, loving and dedicated team who were willing to jump in at a moments notice to ensure that our baby boy got the love and care he needed so that the rest of us could get some much needed rest. If anyone is thinking about a night nurse or daytime doula, I would 1000% recommend Hilary and her team.

She is all about treating the whole woman. She is humble, modest, and extraordinary. Her staff obviously adores her, and she treats them very well as well. I have a vaginal hysterectomy, minimally invasive, and was feeling better within three days. I can't state strongly enough that if you have any need for such surgery, she is the one to go to. She's also super funny, warm, kind, and completely puts you at ease. I am a scientist so read her pathology report afterwards, which she kindly provided. She is thorough, careful, conservative, and methodical about her surgery and pathology afterwards. You could not ever do better that Dr. Gomez-Carrion, and I sing her praises wide and far. Thanks to her, I am pain, worry, and uterus free, YAY!

She was SO judgemental and arrogant and it really turned the situation sour for me. Even networking with the anesthesiologist while performing the C section as if I was invisible and not even there. So unprofessional , I can't even believe it happened. After the birth, nurses on the maternity floor came in and shared information that was private with me that Dr Hardiman had absolutely no medical reason to share. I did complain to social service nurse but probably should have followed up with HIPPA filing. With infant there's too much going on, so never did, but I regret having to experience baby's birth with her. I

She saw me quickly, and sat me in her office going over my history, before launching into the examine. She made me feel very comfortable and was very personable.

I was so grateful to have Dr. Z come to my apartment to care for my newborn and me. Dr. Z is knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. The model of having the first two months of my child's care from home was so comforting- it allowed me and my baby to stay in the home and rest and heal after delivery. Meg from Tova health handled all the admin stuff. She made scheduling, paperwork, and setting-up the patient portal super simple. When it was time to transition beyond the first two months of care, Dr. Z and Meg helped us find the best pediatrician and make sure they had all our records. Awesome experience! Tova Health is the best!

I was not able to get out of bed for over a week after the birth, so our first meeting was with her sitting at the foot of my bed. Thank goodness we chose her for my daughter's pediatrician because there was no way I would have been able to take her to an office. I really needed the fourth trimester care to help me process the trauma from birth, and Dr. Z let me cry and repeat the story over and over again. I'll never forget the time she hugged me and promised me something good would come out of it. She was also provided excellent care to my daughter. I will never forget our crazy first meeting and her kindness. She listened and provided me care when my own OB/GYN's office failed to do so. It is absolutely ludicrous the postpartum care we receive. This fourth trimester care model should be mandatory everywhere.
