That was our case- we started off in one direction and had to take a 180 degree turn. I am so thankful for the support, wisdom, and comfort that Jennifer provided. She was available every step of the way and gave us so much confidence and guidance in our decision making process. We ended up with a memorable birth story and a beautiful baby! I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer as a doula. She is absolutely wonderful.

Throughout the whole class Jennifer would give some recommendations, but we always felt the freedom to make our own decisions without feeling an ounce of judgement from her. I would recommend her class to anyone who is expecting. I think the best time to start researching when and where her next class meets would be the beginning of your second trimester because it is a 12-week class and you don't want to start too late.

We are a family that loves quality, and although we live 40 mins away, we don't mind making the drive because of the high quality service we receive in exchange. His staff is always friendly and polite. There are books, toys, and games for children to play in the waiting area. The entire facility is clean and looks new. Dr. Macias is patient and will actually listen to your concerns and not try to rush you no matter how busy he is with so many appointments. He goes above and beyond in answering questions and makes sure you really understand, even if it means drawing a diagram/picture. He is also fantastic at recommending other medical practitioners. I have tried cardiologists and pulmonologists he has recommended and they have been of great quality also. I've had negative experiences with other doctors, this is why I value this doctor, now-a-days its difficult to find people like this! Highly recommended.

From the moment we met Dr. Macias, we knew our family would be in the best hands! When I was…read morepregnant, we had no idea our daughter would have some health issues. He has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. He caught one of her health issues early. We later learned that many pediatricians miss the early signs. Thanks to his knowledge, we are able to get our daughter a minimally invasive surgery instead of a more major one she would have needed if her symptoms were overlooked. Additionally, we wanted to go out of state for her surgery and Dr. Macias was amazing as he is still supporting us through the process of navigating insurance and getting to an out-of-state specialist that we chose. Through the process, he listened to our concerns and expresses confidence in the choices we are making for our girl. We couldn't ask for more! If you are lucky enough to have Dr. Macias as your child's ped, you will be so comforted by his experience and gentleness. We could not be getting our daughter the help she needs without Dr. Macias! Trust us, if your child ever needs something medically, you will want a pediatrician as wonderful as he is. We are beyond grateful we chose Dr. Macias and would recommend him to anyone looking for care for their child.

Oh, there is so much to say about my birthing experience. I'll keep it short…read more 1) THE CLASSES: the birthing class series led by Marina was awesome. It was educational and fun. The classes really helped put my anxiety about childbirth to rest. They cost a mere $20 per couple for the whole series. There are snacks provided at every session so the fee basically covers the cookies. Definitely recommended for all first time parents! 2) THE NURSES: Majority of the nurses at Birthing Unit were amazing. Special shout out to Jill (visiting nurse), Amy, and Christina (usually in mother baby) & Kim in Mother/baby. These women took great care of me. 3) HOSPITAL ADMIN: This is where the 3 stars come from (instead of 4-5) Lack of available anesthesiologist!! I planned to get an epidural from early in my pregnancy. It was in my birth plan. I notified the nurse once I was admitted so there were no surprises. I was hooked up to an IV at 2:30 am and I didn't get my epidural until 7:15 am. That's right, I WAITED OVER FIVE (5) HOURS FOR EPIDURAL! When I say waited, I mean labored naturally in agonizing pain when I could be resting in preparation for the pushing... My poor nurse kept telling me that the epidural would be coming soon the whole night to no avail. The ONLY anesthesiologist in the entire hospital (what?!) was tied up in a surgery. I had to wait for another one to start the morning shift... I don't know about you, but for women who want the epidural (statistically its the majority), this is quite a big issue. I was really disappointed in Sierra Vista for making me suffer unnecessarily. As one of the two major birthing hospitals in the area, you'd think they'd be able to call someone in. Note: all the tours and classes tell expectant mothers that the wait for an epidural is usually 30-45 minutes. I'm letting y'all know, this is not true. Not in my case. Mind you, there were 5 of us who were all needing epidurals that morning and all of us were waiting for the morning shift anesthesiologist to come in. All in all, I'm going to think long and hard if I want to deliver at SV again unless I decide on an unmedicated birth. Could this happen at French? Maybe...so far I've only just had the "SV pain special". Note: if you're pregnant and reading this - don't freak out. Im sure my situation is rare and hopefully it won't happen to you.

I was induced in the afternoon and ended up pushing around 5 am, and then had a c section at 7am. The staff here was amazing. I don't say that lightly - they were incredible. I wish I remembered everyone's names, but they were so helpful. Nicole was so kind and amazing. She helped me with my breastfeeding issues. I remember being so excited to tell her when my milk was slightly coming in. John was SO amazing as well. Kind and sweet, sharing stories with us about his own kids - just a true gem. My husband told me that he wished he expressed to John how grateful he was, but he was so emotional that he couldn't get the words out. Dr sungurlu is a special kind of dr, so confident and direct- two things I needed to get through all the unexpected things I experience during my birthing journey. Niki was great and was my nurse during the contractions/ water breaking. She made sure to keep checking in on me, and she made sure to let me know that if I wanted the epidural, it would take about an hour for the anesthesiologist to arrive. The anesthesiologist was so sweet, I wish I remembered her name. I had another anesthesiologist the next morning for my c section, Dr Jenkins. He was incredible. He stood behind me the entire process, making jokes and distracting me. He kept asking if I was ok, and helped me when I started throwing up after the surgery. He even took pictures of my husband and I when we met our baby. Basically, all in all, I could not have gotten through my birthing journey without Sierra vista. If I have another kid, I'll most definitely be back to this hospital.
