We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathleen. From the moment we met her, she became…read morean essential part of our pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. As a doula and IBCLC, she brought an incredible wealth of knowledge, compassion, and calm to a time that can often feel overwhelming--especially as first-time parents. Our daughter arrived three weeks early, and thanks to Kathleen, we felt prepared and supported every step of the way. She helped us understand what to expect and guided us with care and empathy through each stage. Her support didn't stop at birth--Kathleen was invaluable during the postpartum period as well. She quickly noticed feeding issues with our daughter and helped us navigate them with expertise and reassurance. I truly believe that the only reason my daughter is exclusively breastfed today is because of Kathleen's guidance. What made her stand out even more was her ability to make us feel safe, informed, and confident in the choices we made for ourselves and our baby. She also recognized signs of postpartum anxiety in me and connected us to helpful resources without hesitation. With no family nearby, we were nervous about going through this alone--but Kathleen stepped in and truly felt like family. If you are looking for a doula and/or IBCLC, look no further. Kathleen is a gift, and we are so grateful she was part of our story.

I found Kathleen right when I was about to give up on trying to nurse my daughter. I had already…read morebeen through so much (preterm 33 week emergency c section, severe preeclampsia, nicu stay) and on top of everything else, it turned out that my sweet preemie had tongue and lip ties which were preventing her from effectively removing milk. I had been to a few lactation consultants before meeting Kathleen and literally none of them were able to spot this. I was getting useless advice like "make your boob a taco" or "bring baby to boob, not boob to baby". Kathleen saw it though and that was a true game changer! Meeting Kathleen was a lifesaver. She came to my home for our visits when I was really struggling and gave me actionable, manageable things I could immediately do that day to improve my situation. Besides identifying my daughter's ties, she also gave recommendations for other professionals we could use that would help and an action plan for how to move forward. She is incredibly knowledgeable in a way that I don't feel all LCs are. Thanks to Kathleen, I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old and I truly attribute much of that to her help. Working with her feels like working with a mom friend that has your best interests at heart, but also knows what the heck she is doing. I recommend Kathleen to all my mom friends and she will be one of the first I check in with to book if and when I get pregnant again!

Called bank reporting suspicious billing behavior. Bank agreed, now just received another bill. Do not trust this vendor. Report fraud if you experience it with this vendor.

I am writing a review for the office in Newport News on McManus. I'm going to warn everyone that…read moreI'm going to get a little personal with this review... I was referred to this practice by a friend of mine, and I ended up not being very impressed. I saw Dr. O' Connell while I was a student at CNU. He was nice. Surprisingly, I wasn't weirded out that my doctor was a male, even when he was up in my business. He wasn't overly gentle, so I was usually very uncomfortable there. A couple of times I had a pap that came back with abnormal cells. The first time, he wanted to do a colposcopy. I freaked out. You want to do WHAT with my WHAT?! Yeah. So I had the procedure done. Everything came back fine. But I was told that if the sample came back not looking great, I would have to have another procedure in which cells are frozen off with liquid nitrogen. Umm...thanks for the comforting description. Really....it made me 100% confident that I didn't have cancer. So the same comes back fine. I was told to come back for a pap 6 months later. The same thing happens again and he wants to do another colpo. Really? At this point I was frustrated and consulted my doctor back at home. She told me that normally, she'd just test again a couple of weeks later and that would be the last resort at that point. A colpo should be done when results are consistently abnormal. To make a long story short, I felt like I was being told to undergo unnecessary procedures. It felt sort of like fraud, actually. Needless to say, I stopped going there. I wouldn't recommend it. Doctor's visits are never comfortable, but I just felt nervous and shaky at this place. Such a horrible experience.

Not impressed at all. If I could give 0 stars I would or actually -10…read more My daughter was referred to an adolescent gynecologist but the wait was so long I decided to look at other options- huge mistake. No one likes going to these kinds of drs especially not a teenager for the first time. Everything about this office was a nightmare, from the check in, the incredibly invasive and unnecessarily awkward questions, the stabbing of a needle into her arms she endured twenty times by an extremely inadequate nurse to get blood and failing miserably. We saw dr hilsinger. All she did was ask questions stare at her face and gave a diagnosis and said she would need to go on birth control pills to control the problem! Well thank goodness an appt popped up at the right drs office. They actually examined her- not just stare at her face. They took blood easily on the first go- they didn't scare the crap out of us and guess what? She doesn't have what the dr hilsinger said she did. I do not recommend this place at all. It was one of the most horrific experiences at a drs office I have ever experienced. Unless you want to be scared for no reason and misdiagnosed for no reason and given the wrong pills for no reason- do not go here!!!

She gave me so much support-- I could call, email, or text at anytime with questions or concerns. At about 1 month, we had another set of latching problems, and she came back to my house for a follow-up, and she showed me how to help my daughter latch correctly. I was in so much pain at that point, that I was ready to give up. If it weren't for her quick service and compassionate and caring demeanor, I wouldn't still be nursing my daughter who is now 12 months.
