Glucose testing is required to give birth at the Center, which I understand and agreed 100% to…read more What I did not agree to was to be repeatedly told to choose and consume one of the the "only" two toxic options that are "available". It is NOT the midwives decision themselves that Peace Health chooses to work with a lab company with no real options. But is is immensely disrespectful when in response to telling multiple Midwives of my legitimate allergies, to be told "Here, drink this anyways!" So hospital birth it is. Thanks to there being no freestanding (free from toxic corporate decisions) birth centers in the area, and thanks to the fact that it is not a financial option for me to hire an independent midwife. Last I checked, fruits & honey are pretty high in glucose. Can't we work with a lab that can standardize REAL sugar? Let me know of options that I don't have to be forced to compromise my well-being for. (Also, be aware that you never know which midwife you are going to get. There are no guarantees. I was so happy to go with Colleen Forbes, LDM/Home Midwifery Care and her assistant Victoria. If you have any doubts with Peace Health, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen. She stays with you the entire process, day & night -prenatal, and 6 weeks postpartum! The best decision I've ever made.)

I've been a patient of Dr. Tufariello since I moved to Oregon four years ago. She has always been…read morevery nice and professional, as have the rest of the staff here. The nurses are always very friendly and the front desk staff are quick and nice. I've never had issues reaching them over the phone. I've had an ultrasound, a uterine biopsy, and most recently a bisalp and ablation under Dr. Tufariello. The biopsy was done without painkillers and was horrible but that's the state of women's healthcare in this country and my doctor had no control over it - it was the insurance company's fault. My surgery last week went great and Dr. Tufariello was very kind and thorough when answering my long list of questions. She kept me at ease and helped me feel better when I was nervous. She did not try to push me or talk me out of the procedure even though it was elective. She simply asked once to make sure I knew I couldn't have kids after and when I said I knew and was sure I didn't want any kids she moved on and helped me. In this day and age I have to appreciate that. I'm not sure why Women's Care has so many bad reviews because I have only ever had positive experiences here. The staff all care deeply about their jobs and everyone is very gentle and understanding. Even the lab techs are gentle and friendly. I will continue to be a patient here and recommend them to my friends whenever I can.

I definitely want to warn other women about going here. I saw Angela Lovelace to address heavy…read morebleeding and birth control methods. She recommended an IUD and I agreed. She did not do any pre-testing, ultrasound, or imaging to check out my suspected fibroids. After insertion the IUD ended up scraping against uterus and causing extreme pain. I had to demand it be taken out immediately and asked for an ultrasound. She had so much trouble understanding the imaging (the IUD was creating a shadow that seemed suspicious) and actually asked me if I had forgotten about a previous IUD inside my body. What?! No, I have never had an IUD and I would not forget about something like that. Horrible care, dismissive of pain, and unfortunately there are not many options in Eugene for ob-gyn care. I now go to Grassroots Gynocology and the fibroid clinic at OHSU. Don't go here if you can help it!

My prenatal appointments always lasted more than an hour, with the gracious midwives taking the time to answer every single question I had. At my son's birth, I felt peaceful and secure in the care of Midwife Emily. I couldn't have asked for a more serene place to go through the journey of pregnancy and become a mother. I cannot recommend this special birth center enough!!

I'm so thankful I was able to get her as she was highly recommended by multiple doctors on my care team. I'm so happy with her and I would highly recommend her if you're looking for an OB/GYN. :)

She does work with organic herbal supplements that may be able to help you. The acupuncture room is so relaxing and I love the bed warmer that's on the bed.

I hope to come back to Mary again in the future once I am done with my Chinese herbalist because I really did enjoy the experience here. The parking lot is small but I always managed to find a spot.

Mary is unbelievable. I just returned from my second prenatal massage with her, and I feel…read morefantastic. I have had maybe 8 or 9 professional massages in the past 10 years, and I have left every one feeling disappointed. Even when the massage therapist came highly recommended, I just never got what I wanted out of the experience. It was always like, what's all this hype about? So when I booked my first appointment with Mary, I was skeptical to say the least. To my unending delight, I can report that Mary truly delivers! By the end I felt so relaxed it almost felt like I'd been drugged. So amazing! I'd told every other massage therapist that I like a lot of pressure, but always felt like they continued to hold back. Not Mary! She's a master! Today I went for the acupuncture/massage combo as a little due date gift to myself, and man, I feel better than I've felt in ages. I had no idea I could feel so great at 40 weeks pregnant! Mary also is a fabulous listener and gives great feedback. Her positive energy was probably as effective as her treatments in helping me relax and embrace the end of pregnancy (which is such a difficult time for so many women). I walked in with so much anxiety and now I feel supercharged and zen at the same time. Thank you, Mary!

Earlier this month, I was startled when I discovered that my dreadlocked hair had spots of mold…read moregrowing in it. Knowing that Margot of Natural Frequency Wellness works with dreadlocks, I called upon her for help, and she was willing to meet that day @ her own home. Margot inspected the hairs and found that the mold was growing abundantly in the thick locks. Though the solution was unexpected, my hair had to be cut. For five-ish hours, Margot diligently cleaned, combed out, and cut my hair. Though the operation was certainly a laborious task, Margot allowed me to feel at ease by naturally calming my worries with her experienced approach to the dread dilemma. The final product has been growing out since her snips, but the haircut that Margot gave me has pleased me each time that I have seen it in a mirror, and it has received countless comments and compliments from others who have seen it. I completely appreciate Margot for her many blessed skills, however I will always remember her specific talent of hair care. Many, many thanks, Margot! ~sam

I'll start by saying that we were originally skeptical of getting a doula, but our sister in law…read moretalked us into giving it a try. Best. Decision. We. Ever. Made. We met with Tiffany and she was even able to win over my skeptical husband with her knowledge and professionalism. The fact that she ran an evidence based birth class was an added benefit that helped influence our decision to choose Tiffany as our doula. The class was fantastic! Not only was it informative and go more in-depth then most, but she also taught us how to find sound sources for information regarding various topics, procedures, and other concerns, so that we could make the best decisions for us and our situation. In short, the class was extremely empowering, particularly for first time parents. Now, when it came to her as a doula, she was a life saver! We had just moved to the area and had not met many people yet. Getting to know Tiffany and talking with her about the pregnancy, hopes, and fears helped make us considerably more comfortable with everything. And then Covid-19 hit in earnest and the lock down went into place. Pregnancy and birth are already full of unknowns and anxiety as is, with that, it skyrocketed. Tiffany, however, kept on top of everything, even with hospital and doctor's policies changing on a daily basis. With each and every change she would reach out to us to find a way to work with and around it. She even went above and beyond trying to work directly with the hospitals themselves to insure her ability to be present during the birth.  In the end, she did get to be there for my birth. I ended up suddenly and unexpectedly giving birth at home (we had planned a hospital birth). Somehow she managed to arrive just as the paramedics did. I won't lie, I was terrified. Seeing her face in the middle of all that chaos did wonders for me, helping me relax and focus on what needed to be done. She jumped right in and worked with the paramedics as if they had all been a birth team for years. Everything ended up going even more smoothly then could be expected under the circumstances, and I'm convinced it was because of her presence. I am now firmly of the belief that if you are pregnant, you should have a doula, whether it's your first or fifth. Somehow she becomes that trusted friend, a surrogate mother, and experienced professional who's solidly in your corner. We are so thankful that Tiffany was in ours.
