Review from a new Father's perspective…read more High level: Jen is the single best medical professional I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is incredible knowledgeable, thoughtful, respectful, and goes above and beyond for her patients. Detail: I didn't believe a "lactation" specialist was a necessity; oh how I was wrong! My son was born and Jen did our 24 hour check up. We luckily booked a follow up check a few days later. From the surface our baby boy was healthy and happy and latching fine... 3 days later Jen came back and found our baby was loosing weight. It turns out he had a lip and tongue tie that was impending his ability to get milk from my wife. His next formal doctors visit was a month away and we would not have known that there was an issue if it wasn't for Jen. Unfortunately, his inability to get and maintain a healthy latch caused my wife's supply to drop until it was a heart breaking struggle to get 3 drops of milk. Many would have thrown in the towel and said just use formula. But Jen was there for us, she kept working the problem. She went above and beyond for us seeing us on a holiday weekend, reaching out to her network, and taking calls when we met obstacles. She respected our wishes not to go on certain formulas. She never once belittled me for a view or concern. I've had medical professionals ignore questions or concerns and talk down to me and my wife. I have never appreciated or valued a doctors or medical professional as much or more than Jen. There have been many road bumps and many difficulties with breastfeeding for my wife for months. Things no one ever warned us about, stuff you don't see in movies. The choice to breast feed meant the world to me and my wife and Jen made it possible by not giving up and relentlessly working the problem. To be clear we still have to supplement but it is a fraction of what it could have been. Jen worked with our son to help him get a better latch and guiding us to different resources, and she worked with my wife from position, diet, to feeding/pumping schedules, everything to increase her supply. We went from getting less than 5 drops in a feed to now, my wife can produce 5+ ounces per pump. I believe that is in large part due to Jen and her support For dads out there, this is the best money you'll ever spend (or with insurance the best money you'll never spend) and the best resource we've found. She is incredible!! Thank you Jen! For everything!

This was our first pregnancy after a 36 week pregnancy loss, so we were anxious to say the least. Having Dee as a resource bounce questions off of, knowing we would get an honest response based on her year of practice and knowledge, was very comforting, and lowered our anxiety during pregnancy and the birth, quite a bit. As the doctors and nurses recommended various interventions, we were able to ask her opinion on them and never felt pressured to do what she suggested. She was fantastic also at following up, ensuring we were taken care of to the best of her ability. Lastly, she helped us include our stillborn son in our birth, which made it very meaningful for us bringing our rainbow baby into the world.
