There's no way I could ever begin to explain how wonderful of a midwife Sarah Kelly is! How many…read moremen can talk about how great a midwife is? Mine can! I am an anxious person when I'm pregnant and she was so compassionate and kind and treats you like a person and not a number. I have never had a provider that I looked forward to seeing and could ask even the most uncomfortable questions. From the moment she walked in the door while I was in labor I felt confident and knew I could go through the unmedicated birth I had hoped for. She rubbed my back, helped my husband be a part of the process, talked us through everything, held my hand, and encouraged me! If you're looking for a provider that is confident in her abilities and will treat you the way you should be, then you need Sarah Kelly!!!

She helped me get through what I thought was a miscarriage early on in my pregnancy and always had the perfect things to say from then on. She was always punctual, accommodating, full of resources and kind to my entire family and me. Having my children at home is the most empowering experience of my life and Alia helped facilitate this by encouraging me emotionally and physically. Delivery time came and together we welcomed my 9.2 lb. baby boy into the world, gently in the safety of my home. My husband and I highly recommend Alia to anyone who thinks a home birth is right for them.

Andrea Herron is somewhat of a local lactation legend. All the health providers know her and…read morelovingly refer to her as "the guru." And it is clear why: Andrea combines knowledge of nursing with much needed emotional support to get you through your lactation woes. Andrea has a wonderful bedside manner. She's warm and kind but focused and efficient with her sessions. Andrea has helped calm my anxiety about breastfeeding issues my newborn. I credit Andrea for helping me stay on track. Her staff, Trisha and Robin, are knowledgeable and kind as well. After 6 weeks of agonizing pain and every possible thing you can think of going wrong, we finally had a breakthrough. I was so close to quitting and I spent weeks pumping and bottle feeding. I am so happy to report that as my baby approaches 2 months, he is now fully breastfed. If you are struggling, please get help. Stay strong and believe in yourself because most problems resolved with time.

I have only heard very positive stories about Andrea so i made an appointment after I had my son…read more My appointment went well.... now fast forward approx a year later... I moved out of state and got my sons pediatrician records for his new doctor and in his records I found a write up that Andrea did about my visit... First off I do not remember consenting to this! This write up called me an "unmotivated mother." I'm glad i didn't read it a year ago because this would have only made my PPD worse and who is she to judge me off a 45 min appt... being a new mom is a lot and figuring out the ins and out of breastfeeding isn't easy. The write up went on to say she didn't show me everything she would normally show a new mom. What if that information would have helped me continue breastfeeding.

They do Not care about you! I was an established patient who…read morehad been having difficulties getting pregnant. Because of my medical history, I was told that it would be difficult and possibly high risk. I am currently pregnant with our first child. When I called the Dr's office to schedule an appointment I was told someone would call me back. I called back the next day and spoke to a receptionist who didn't give her name but said she had been their for 15 years. This woman proceeded to tell me that they will not be able to see me due to the Dr not taking any more New pregnant patients. And then proceeded to try and wrap up the phone call with zero help and information (saying ok.. well.. that's all we have for now.. ok.. interrupting me several times to the point where I had to tell her to let me finish and stop interrupting) After stating that I am an established patient and that they are refusing to see me with no proper due cause, no referral to another physician, no information at all other than "we aren't officially dropping you as a patient but we just cant see you while your pregnant" How DARE YOU! How can you treat someone like that who is equally excited and terrified during her first pregnancy which took almost 3.5 years of actively trying. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Will NEVER go back

Justine was just the kind of person I imagined to support us anticipating our first son's birth. We…read moreinstantly respected her when we first met and then enjoyed every prenatal visit after. She was never rushed but very compassionate and open to our feelings. She was easy-going and extremely encouraging, without making light of any concerns we had. In the middle of the night when I was in labor, I trusted her greatly and absolutely loved my first birth experience, at home in a kiddie pool as I hoped. Her sincere care only got better (if possible) after he was born. So many of the things she told us will stay with us and be gratefully used. I would love to have Justine help us again with many more babies!

Wow. What a great hospital. There's no wonder why it's in the top 100!…read more When first being admitted to do paperwork for the hospital, my husband and I were a bit iffy about choosing French. Yes, it was nice visually but the staff doing our paperwork wasn't too friendly. We opted out of the birthing tour due to his busy schedule (if you do have the time, please do it!), so our last impression was her. But choosing French Hospital has been honestly the best! I had my son on January 9th, 2018 at 5:17am. Admitted at around 4:10am, I was having consistently strong contractions that only got closer in duration. The moment I was admitted, 4-5 nurses were consistently helping to take care of me and baby boy- getting vitals, asking if I needed anything, asking me if I wanted certain options (epidural, cord blood, skin-to-skin, etc.) and never forcing me into anything I didn't want, and just helping me to breathe and calm down. One stood by my side letting me hold her hand through the pain and continually coaching me to breathe (she was awesome!). By the time the doctor came in (around 5:10am), the nurses had taken care of me that all he had to do was break my water and "catch" the baby. Once having my son, the doctor had left and would visit later that day but the nurses continually checked in, running tests and making sure I was well accommodated (helping me to the bathroom, getting anything I needed, helping me with pain and recovery, giving me meds, etc.). They were the BEST! In addition to the pediatrician and my OB-GYN doing rounds to check in, there was a French Hospital breastfeeding consultant who recommended the breastfeeding clinic (which is AMAZING and I would totally recommend!). The only con I can think of was we did not receive a complimentary dinner of choice (as Sierra and Twin Cities have this), but this wasn't a big deal at all. Besides this, my husband and I had the most amazing experience- from the new renovated rooms to the friendliness and care of ALL of the staff. We also miraculously were discharged the next day as requested, as we wanted to get home as soon as possible. After getting home, they assign a nurse to call and check up on you and baby, and if wanted, to visit your home to check up in person. My nurse, Pat, called me and said she was unable to visit in person (since she was sick) but would gladly answer any questions or concerns I had. From breastfeeding to jaundice and everything in between, she answered everything and helped me through my concerns. What really stuck with me though was that in this time of need and going through new things with my son (breastfeeding issues, sleeplessness, etc.), she made me feel that I was doing my best as a mom and that I was NOT ALONE. A mom goes through so much in the first week of having a baby, from physical recovery to exhaustion from care and so on, it's important to know that there is help out there and someone cares/ has been in your position. So, thank you Pat- you've made a difference to my life even through a phone call. If we ever do plan on having another baby, we would not hesitate to go with French Hospital. Thank you everyone at the Birthing Center! You are the BEST.
