Her suffering is why I still take the time to post her story.

Dr. Unterseher was my ob doctor 15 years ago. I thought he…read morewas an excellent doctor. Even when I moved to Redding, I'd drive to Chico to continue my ob care with him. I asked a lot of questions! And he was very kind, considerate, and knowledgeable in addressing my questions. He never rushed me or made me feel like I asked too many questions. He was just as proactive with me as I was with him during my pregnancy. I ended up having to have a c-section and he was skilled with that, as well. He knew what he was doing and how to handle emergencies .. my son had the umbilical cord around his neck twice. He was quick and efficient and remained calm as he swiftly unwrapped the cord from my son's neck. He took great care of me during my pregnancy. And I'm forever grateful.

Dania was so great with him. She was also quick to respond whenever I needed to contact her, any time of any day. She really knows her stuff and any doubts/fears of having our baby at home were alleviated. We were so confident in her to safely deliver our baby in the best way for mom and baby. And she did just that! I had very little post partum issues (if any) compared to the plethora I had with my first at the hospital. I felt more empowered as a mother after this home birth than I did with my hospital birth. Dania also gives you the freedom and strengthening support to deliver however your body feels led in the comfort of your home. Her joyful personality was exactly what my type A personality needed. And the sweet relationship that develops even after baby is born is a sure sign of her passion, zeal and heart for midwifery. Our family loves and highly recommends Dania!

After touring the hospital I realized that paying out of pocket to have a home birth would be well worth the investment. After calling around and doing some research online I interviewed a few midwives and decided that Dania was the one for me. Upon stepping foot into her office and talking with her I was immediately impressed and put at ease. She is extremely professional, warm and competent. I personally think that Dania was built to be a midwife. She is very well balanced in all the areas that are important for a successful home birth. -Patience, experience, professionalism, up-to-date knowledge and warmth- Every time an issue came up during my pregnancy her advice was invaluable and my issues (backaches, low energy) were resolved with 1-3 days. During the labor and delivery process I was at ease knowing that Dania was there to guide me and her timing with preparing my birthing room/supplies was impeccable. I couldn't have had more wonderful pregnancy and birthing experience and I am glad that Dania was the person I choose to have as a midwife.

He tries to look at causes outside the box which I think is great, but if you don't quite fit into those he still wants to fit you into one of those options he's discerned. I saw him multiple times over 2017 for unexplained abdominal pain. He suggested it might be my gall bladder and it might need to be removed, which my GI doctor and his referral surgeon didn't concur with. He seemed to care, but I was disappointed by having been forgotten by him and his staff. In the process of assessing my situation had diagnosed me with PCOS; my GI doctor originally sent me to him because he believed my pain was caused by a ruptured cyst and peritonitis instead of a GI condition. He put me on birth control, which caused my already thin hair to start falling out more. Upon making an appointment to switch to a version with less androgens he suggested I might have a thyroid issue and ordered a blood panel to test it. I was told to redo the test 3 times. The first test showed results that didn't match my symptoms, so they wanted a reorder, the staff told me that the lab may have messed it up (not sure if that was her suggestion or what the doctor thought). The 2nd test wasn't ordered correctly so a third was ordered. I had to call them to let them know that the lab results were in because they hadn't contacted me in 2 weeks for the first test. After the 2nd test I asked about being contacted about the results and was told by the staff that I would need to inform them of when the lab results were ready (by viewing the patient portal for Feather River) because they did not receive them from the lab directly. I asked the lab technician downstairs when I went in for the 3rd test if they didn't send them to the doctor directly and if the patient was expected to deliver the results to them (which has never been the case with any other office), and she confirmed that no they send them directly to the doctor. I called a week after and another week after that for the 3rd test and never received a call back or any sort of follow up. I'm just disappointed. Dr. Davis seemed to be a caring individual, but all the same I was forgotten by him and his staff.

This last summer I was dealing with a lot of pelvic pain (due to my endometriosis, although I…read moredidn't know it at the time) and I ended up in the emergency room. I was told in the ER, after many tests, that I had dark spots on my uterus and cysts on both of my ovaries. The emergency room wrote up a quick overview of what happened while I was there to take to my physician the next morning (since my records would not have been typed up and able to be sent over in less than 24 hours). My doctor then referred me to an OB/GYN at Northern Valley Indian Health, Dr. Mark Schwabe. 4 weeks after my emergency room visit I finally had an appointment. I show up excited because I was finally meeting with someone who could hopefully stop the pain I was in; only to have that hope dashed within minutes of me talking to Dr. Scwhabe. He did not get any of my records from the emergency room, but only had the quick write up the ER had given me to give to my doctor about the tests I had undergone. In that write up they call my cysts "masses" (had he taken the time to get my ER records he would have seen the word "cyst" used many times), so he told me that he had no idea where I was getting this idea that I had cysts (because I apparently just made it up in my brain) and that, unless I wanted surgery I should just learn to live with the pain. I spent less then 15 minutes with him. I left the office in tears. Luckily the next day, still flabbergasted, I told my client the story (who I had no idea worked at Total Women's Health in Paradise) and she got me in to see an amazing doctor (Dr. MeRa Chong) that week who took the time to find out what was going on, ordered more tests, and came up with a plan. Now 3 1/2 months later I get a bill Northern Valley Indian Health because they apparently don't take my insurance AND nobody caught it at the time of the appointment. So to add injury to insult I am going to have to pay out of pocket (money I DO NOT have) for a physician who did nothing for me and treated me so callously that I left him in tears.

The staff does document everything about your visit on a portal you can access to get all your medical information, while you are in the room.
