In addition there is no information on the web that they " CLOSE FOR LUNCH" Another issue - they always have issues receiving the mammogram results- it is the clients responsibility to have the results sent to them MULTIPLE TIMES AND ways, Via email, fax to get a "probability" confirming they received it.

I recommend her to every pregnant woman I speak to because I know for a fact that she know what she is doing and she does it perfectly. Now down to the details.... Out of 9 months.. 2 blood draws, 1 vaginal check. She respects your body and space unlike other OBGYN (who shoved their finger in you for no damn reason). She has a schedule that is flexible. If I have another baby she is who I am calling. I wish I toke photos but I didn't and I hate that. But she is amazing. With my eating habits and routine my son came earthside in 2 pushes and placenta came out right away on push number 3. She makes you so relaxed to birthing isn't hard lol.

Please DO NOT make the same mistake as me and try to birth here. They promote a low transfer rate…read moreand a natural approach to birth but I learned the hard way that this was just another SCAM disguised as a birth center. This horrendous experience is more in due to the administration (or lack thereof) The midwives were honestly the only part of this place that kept me from leaving. They are all kind and do genuinely seem to care about natural birth. However when it came time for my turn, I was blind sighted. I was at home laboring when I call them for help and I am immediately met with utter disgrace and disregard. A midwife I had never met and the patient care coordinator Patricia were constantly calling me and being extremely demeaning towards me all of a sudden. Now they are interrogating me on the phone saying that "I don't seem to be in labor" or "you're not in enough pain". I'm not sure how someone can make these claims over the phone but that goes to show. They continue to speak about a head medical director that is making these decisions, I've yet to know who this person is or how someone I've never met before can make decisions about my labor. After trying to beg them to let me birth there, and being turned away I had to improvise. I haven't even gotten to the worst part. After I was forced to give birth at a hospital since they had no intentions of helping me, I NEVER got a call from anyone there to ask if I was even alive. After I asked for my $2200 back, (which was meant to be for PP care) I never heard from them again. This now starts a 4 month ordeal where I am repeatedly calling and showing up at the center to try to get an answer about the money that was practically stolen from me since I obviously was not going back there. It wasn't until I called the authorities to the center that I got a call back. The receptionist told me that Patricia was not there and that she could not call her and did not know if she worked that day. Yet when the authorities came, Patricia immediately opened the door for them and called my husband to tell ask him why the cops were there. There wasn't even a check, my money was eventually sent back via Zelle so the delay is practically inexcusable. I beg you to please do a home birth and get this business closed. It's places like this that put a bad name to birth centers.

Everyone raves about Dr Fink, and yet 99% of women now a days don't ever get to see him. If you are…read moreconsidering this practice because you have heard great things about Dr Fink, know that more likely that not, you will never see him. My review on his practice: STILLBIRTH DELIVERY on 1.1.15 Longest and most heartfelt review I will write on yelp: From day 1, I never waned to see Dr Tumero, as a close friend of mine had a still birth in 2nd tri under her care. Said friend reviewed her file with head doctor (Fink), both came to the conclusion that closer monitoring and treatment could had made a difference. Fast forward and guess who I get stuck with? Yes, Dr. Tumero Details:I had a regular doctors visit on 12/31/14, during my ultrasound, tech noticed that heartbeat was slow, she quickly called Dr Simmel in and I was asked to head over to baptist for further monitoring. Upon arriving to baptist (5 minutes later, as building is right next door), my daughters heartbeat was detected by monitor used by nurse. Five minutes later, Dr Tumero (who was on duty at hospital) shows up and requests bed side u/s. U/s tech arrived within a couple of minutes and by then, my daughter was gone. Between time of my arrival, check in, blah blah blah, about 10 minutes passed. Though you maybe thinking, 10 minutes is not that long, it is when your child's life is at risk. Knowing what I know now (further testing detected that I have an autoimmune disease which often correlates with still births if left untreated) I understand that OTHER factors COULD have caused my daughters passing, however, we did not know (still don't) what "the cause" was when it was all going down,so my thoughts are: If Dr. Simmel called baptist to let them know that I was heading there with baby with slow heartbeat, why the delay in dr Tumero showing up? My daughter passed away at this hospital, all while we were present. Why was an emergency c- section not done if one minute there was heartbeat and not the next? so many questions. I know that nothing will ever bring her back, but I question the response time and how the situation was handled. ------- As if what I described above is not reason enough as to why to avoid this practice, here are additional mishaps that took place during pregnancy. I had a VERY healthy pregnancy, so my visits were short and to the point. However, there were many mishaps along the way, one of them being that a test which is done during 2nd trimester detecting abnormalities was overlooked. They apologized for that, and during that time I didn't think it was a big deal, but after having lost my child, I wish that every single test had been done. Aside from that, there was a lot of back and forth with medication prescribed (Diclegis for nausea and vomiting) the office sent prescription to my pharmacy for wrong amount (less pills) so I was having to go back for refills every couple of weeks, spending more money per bottler, wasting time and gas. It wasn't until the pharmacist asked me why I hadn't just ordered 100 pills to begin with vs 30 at a time, that we were able to correct the issue by calling obgyn and having them send correct prescription. U/s tech with long hair- this lady is one of the most unpleasant people I have ever met in the industry. I do not recall her name, but I saw her twice early in pregnancy and requested not to see her again. I tried both times to initiate small talk (commenting on her daughter's ballet pictures/ asking about her day) and got nothing. She always had a crappy face on, and was non responsive. Having an u/s done is both exciting and stressful, she did zero to make the experience more pleasant. Please stay away from this place if you are expecting, it is my only suggestion. During a doctor's career, there is no doubt that lives will be lost for x or y reason. I just REALLY feel that my daughter's life could have been spared, if things had been addressed promptly.

Horrible horrible horrible experience with the doula who I paid extra for because of her experience not only as a hypnobirthing doula but also as a midwife and LC, named Sharon. I went to their open house and it was a very warm experience. I thought it was an informative experience as well but now I realize I wasted hours of my time there. Why? Because they just yes yes yes-ed me on everything. This one payment covers the entire time I am in labor? "YES". What if it takes hours or days? "Yes it's still covered" No matter how long?!? "Yes no matter how long" Can they advocate for me if the doctor does something I didn't want? "Yes absolutely" So they will confront the doctor? "Yes" Will the doula take pictures and videos of the birth? "Yes" My doula will come to me to labor at home and then we go together to the hospital? "Yes" Every single question I had I was told yes by both amazing births and the doula I ended up hiring. Of course, that was just so I end up working with them. They will tell you everything you want to hear. In reality that is not the case. My doula came to my home to labor with me in the beginning stages. I ended up in the tub alone and I'm not sure where she was but she was sleeping. At a certain point I tried to get out of the tub myself and after failing over and over I had to keep calling my doula until she woke up and came to help. When it was time to go to the hospital suddenly my doula said she has to go home to take care of a few things but will meet me there. Ok. Wish she would have informed of that earlier because I was told by her AND amazing births that she will come with me to the hospital. So she went home, fed her cats, took a nap etc. Too much time had passed and she never arrived to the hospital - I was already checked in at this point and had gone for a long walk to help progress labor (kept asking my doula what I can do to help progress my labor, should I walk because my friends doula told her to do that, but Sharon kept insisting that there is nothing I can do. Yet the second I got to the hospital the nurse told me to walk walk walk their hallways to progress the labor.) I called my friend to ask what moves I can do on the birthing ball to help and got yelled at that why am I paying for a doula and where is my doula that's her job to help me with this stuff. That's when I realized my doula has been missing for a very long time and I called her. I MID LABOR HAD TO CALL HER. She said she will be right over. Then some time passed. ALOT OF TIME. Still a no show. No phone call or follow up text either. So I had to call her again and she said the police had locked down the street and she can't get out and was still home. A health care professional in an emergency can't get out?! Really?! Only after we inquired for the backup doula was she suddenly able to sneak out. My doula did nothing to help me with my labor pains. She just sat in her chair while I tried to do breathing techniques on my own. She didn't do a single hypnobirthing technique nor did she massage me. It was a horrible experience. I had to deal with each contraction on my own and in the end couldn't handle it anymore and had to get epidural and pitocin. I also looked to her for advice on the epidural and pitocin but she just kept insisting she didn't know. She also said that if a certain Dr was the delivery driver then she had no power and it would be his way. Funny though because during the interview I told her I was looking for someone specifically to work with this doctor and she said she has it handled and in the past had even had to take him out of the room and argue with him. Ah more lies she told. So this women who didn't touch me didn't massage me and completely neglected me during labor when it came time to push guess who was right there holding my leg?!!! I was so taken aback!! No one asked her to do that. In fact we specifically had asked her to take pictures and videos during the birth. And I was stuck pushing the entire time thinking look at her standing there proudly like she earned that spot when she didn't do a single thing. Thank gd my husband realized and asked one of the hospital staff to take videos. Of course we missed out on some of it. And when the baby was born guess what Sharon did then? Snapped a picture of us on HER OWN PHONE WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION!!! Who does such a thing! I had to ask her to delete it. There's more but Yelp only allows a certain length. We were so let down by the entire experience we did not bother with the follow up. Which was a shame as my baby did need the help of an LC and ended up on formula. Choose wisely. Choose someone who you know personally worked with a doula. Don't hire blindly regardless of how great they sound on paper or in the interview. Sometimes you are better off with a good friend or family member.

He was very attentive and gave me the opportunity to ask any questions I had. He was also very informative and able to relay information to my Husband to endure he too understood anything he needed to. I was a little worried during labor because he ended up having to tell the nurse that if I wasn't able to delivery in the next hour I would have to be taken in for a C-section. So I was ferried since I did not want to be cut after delivering my first two girls vaginally. Needless to say those Nurses got me motivated and loving and Dr. Duerkes delivered my 3rd Baby (first Boy). I later had to call him during postpartum recovery since I had a headache that wouldn't go away even after taking Tylenol. He told me to go to the ER and I was admitted right away because of high blood pressure. Turned out it was postpartum preeclampsia, which was very scary. However, Dr. Duerkes was there to make sure all was well and had me on magnesium for 24 hours with monitoring for another 24 hours. He let me and my Husband know that he had actually been apart of a study or postpartum preeclampsia, so I was happy to be in good hands. I had one last check up with him to make sure my pressure was no longer high and then was back to my current OB for my 6 week check up as discussed. I wish Dr. Duerkes the best!

I swore I would never have a male OB, but his gentility and kindness simply won me over. He and his staff treated me like a member of their family. They knew the immense anxiety and fear I was experiencing as a newbie. There were moments during my pregnancy when I would schedule to see him just to talk about my fears about labor and birth. You could say he almost took on the role of my therapist. He catered to EVERY need I had and always reassured me of my safety. We scheduled my induction because I did not want to risk going into labor on a day he was off duty at Mt. Sinai Hospital. On the day I checked into the hospital, I begged him to perform a c-section because I was so irrationally and overwhelmingly frightened of the potential pain I would feel during labor. He sat next to my bed, held my hand and said very confidently that I was capable of doing this without surgery. He consulted with the anesthesiologist and had him administer the epidural early on before the induction even though I was only 1 cm dilated and not yet in any pain. This way, I would not have to endure anymore vaginal exams or feel any upcoming contractions. The early epidural made all the difference, and my anxiety soon rescinded. I delivered 7 hours later with no complications. For primiparous women who need a compassionate and patient OB, Dr. Santos is it! If you are exceptionally anxious about child birth, you need someone who will listen to you and take all the necessary measures to make you comfortable and confident in your ability to give birth. Dr. Santos did this for me.
