I was always interested in having a homebirth since having my own bad experiences in hospitals. After seeing my mom friends have bad birth experiences in hospitals that interest quickly formed determination, I just didn't know how to go about it. Thankfully after posting on a local facebook group I was recommended Karen by name not just by one person but several people. I Always pictured myself finding someone Who was holistically minded whom I could learn from and very quickly when first speaking with her I realized Karen was exactly that. I'm so thankful we picked Karen for our home birth because my labor was not easy it was 30 hours long and I was not exactly the zen primal birther I had hoped to be I was throwing up crying and down right exhausted for the latter half of my birth and thinking omg how am I going to get this baby out who do I think I am?? But Karen was on top of it she coached me through the hardest parts and gave me and my perineum the support we desperately needed! Because of her I had an incredible birth that has empowered me so much through this postpartum period. I don't think I would've been able to labor and birth at home without her knowledge and quick action.

Her knowledge is unmatched by any physician I have encountered. She goes above and beyond for you throughout your whole pregnancy. The support I received from her after birthing my first child was immense. She was there to answer or support me through any milestone. My husband was so amazed at the care we received and said "she will deliver all our future children". Karen is an amazing Midwife and woman, I would recommend her a million times over.

I attended Jess' childbirth education course and her weekly prenatal yoga class and could not…read morerecommend both enough! The childbirth education course gave me a really clear picture of what to expect from my hospital birth and what some of the choices I might have to make would entail. The knowledge I gained from the class allowed me to advocate for myself effectively during labor and ask clear questions of my medical team when they made a suggestion. This allowed me to have a really positive birth experience as a first time mom! The breathing techniques covered in both the childbirth and yoga classes and the mindset work we did were also immensely helpful in managing my pain.

In March 2020, when the city started their CoVid curfew, this company did a great job at making me forget what was happening in the outside world! Professional, welcoming, present, understanding, and emotionally intelligent are all some words to describe Tashona's character during her being my doula. I got connected later in my pregnancy due to me moving. However, with all of my personal situational events, Tashona didn't hesitate to go above and beyond in accommodating my family and I every step of the way. Tashona is a passionate humanitarian and that made my experience with her so much greater. She introduced me to another mother, Janelica, during my journey that was on her educational journey to becoming a doula and the match in energy couldn't have been more perfect! With me recently moving to the area amidst my pregnancy, connecting with like minds and supportive mothers was a goal of mine. Tashona didn't fail by any means at making this dream come true for me. There is so much more i'd love to share, but for the wrap up: I received doula services (which included an intense amount of education for preparing for labor) as well as placenta encapsulation. I feel so satisfied with all of the services received from Viumbe and am always looking forward to share this company's information with others in need of the services that Viumbe Wellness provides. I am forever a lifelong client of Viumbe and hope to continue to share them with others so they can enjoy a great experience with any of the services they offer through and through. My review is way over due! ONE LOVE ‍

The first visit they both listened carefully to my needs and helped me reach my goals during pregnancy. Both take your concerns and worries very serious . They are both very supportive, caring , kind , respectful , welcoming , very intelligent . All through the pregnancy they checked in regularly and helped me prepare for labor. They gave me a lot of tips and emotional support . Both never judged me . They help you with a birth plan and make sure you understand your options. Both informed me about things i didn't know about pregnancy the first time i was pregnant. They are always free to answer questions. When labor started the support was great also ( theyll be there right by you side helping you focus and stay calm you don't ever feel alone . Both make sure you are comfortable in the delivery room.

I've always felt comfortable and informed because she is attentive, thorough, but also sensitive and kind. And personal! I love that she agreed with my goal to do things as natural as possible.

Dr. Wilson is truly the best!!! I started seeing her when I learned I was pregnant and she gave me…read morethe best care. She never made me feel rushed, never made me feel like I had a dumb question and answered any questions I could have possibly had at every appointment. This was so assuring as a first time mom. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely go back and see her for my next pregnancy and also GYN needs. The nurses and ultra sound techs were also super nice!!! They have a large waiting room and only once during my pregnancy did I have to wait longer than 10-20 minutes to be called back. They do have a strict late policy and the one time I was late, the receptionist was a bit sassy, so make sure you are on time! A couple times she wasn't in the office so I had to see other providers. The mid wives I saw were all fabulous! I also saw Dr. Dehoff who I did not care for. It seemed like he was 'mansplaining' and I felt extremely rushed and like my questions weren't welcome. He said "do you have any questions as he opened the door to leave". I would not see him again but everyone else was amazing and I received the best care!!! When in the hospital delivering my daughter, the Dr's and mid wives from this practice were all really nice and listened to me/my concerns. Dr. Hyatt (only delivers babies, doesn't see office patients) was also very kind and great at his job. We love Dr. Wilson and Providence OBGYN!

I have debated posting this because I fear harassment from the general public and retaliation from…read moreNovant, Providence OBGYN and Phillip DeHoff, who have already hurt me and my family so much. However, because medical board complaints are not public, and because it is rare for doctors to face tangible consequences from such complaints, I view it as my duty to share this and inform Charlotte area women. My silence may protect me from harassment and retaliation, but it also protects doctors who are already protected by the institutions they work for. This only results in more women being hurt. So I am sharing this despite very being so frightened of what may come of it. On November 29, 2023, while sitting on my couch at home I started hemorrhaging bleeding through my pants on to my couch, scaring myself, my husband, and my boys. I was bleeding so much, I wouldn't have been allowed on a plane. I went to the Novant ER thinking I'd be treated promptly. I had an IUD and learned that I was pregnant with a blighted ovum (no fetal heartbeat, no baby, just an empty gestational sac). The on-call OBGYN was DeHoff. The next 15 hours were the worst of my life. It's hard for me to recount the events because one of the symptoms of the PTSD caused by those events is to feel like you're reliving them, so I am enclosing pictures of the complaint I filed against DeHoff with the NC Medical Board. You can see them in the practice pictures. Since I've started sharing this story, I've learned that a woman who I know from my sons' former preschool also filed a complaint against DeHoff with Novant and Providence OBGYN in September 2023, two months before I encountered him. This woman also informed her OBGYN Dr. Nora Arronte of her concerns regarding DeHoff and subsequently filed a complaint against DeHoff with the NC Medical Board, which is currently pending (like my complaint). Thus, Novant and Providence OBGYN (and at least one of Providence OBGYN's other physicians, Dr. Arronte) appear to have prior knowledge of this doctor's track record of harming women. My understanding is that since I submitted my complaint, De Hoff is no longer doing OB work, and is only doing GYN work. I do not know if this is as a result of the complaint, whether De Hoff has lost his hospital admission privileges or if this is the natural career progression of an aging doctor with multiple malpractice complaints pending before his licensing board. I am frightened to share this but view it as my civic duty to inform this community of someone I consider a public danger to women who remains employed by a "reputable" practice despite their apparent knowledge of his actions.

I am sure I am not the only person that is squeezing an appointment during typical work hours (starting eay to make up time missed). I was told there was a board that shows the status of the doctor. Never saw it before. Come to find out the board is a small board maybe 10x13 located at the back of the reception area. I finally get called in. I go into the room and I'm waiting and I'm waiting. I open the door and the medical tech said it may be 10 more minutes so with that while I tried to wait I had to leave. I do appreciate the med tech's understanding, but it wasn't enough for me to stay. I honestly think people should respect other people's time. It's as important as theirs. Nobody knows other people circumstances. . maybe if the reception is that are working at the desk did less chitchatting and talking about personal stuff and do their work. Maybe they could've told me that the doctor was running behind. I do find it very unprofessional when employees are sitting around doing other things, not representing their organization.. I would change doctors if I haven't been going to the same one for more than 25 years. Now I just have to figure out when I can schedule this again. I am not happy as you can probably tell.
