My husband and I felt very fortunate to have Marlee and Megan on our team leading up to our birth…read moreand post partum. We had a lot of questions and fears, and Riverbend helped us avoid feelings of overwhelm when it came to researching and making decisions about it. They are extremely informed about options for birthing people, and always had some kind of suggestion or insight into the process. Our birth itself was also made easier by having people who have been through this before to consult through early labor and who understood the way our hospital worked. Post partum, Marlee's kind and nonjudgmental guidance during some difficulties with feeding were particularly invaluable. She was able to help me pump comfortably and effectively, and also helped me get to a better place mentally about that process. Marlee is also great at finding pain points in the fog of newborn parenting and helping make things a little easier, even when it may not have occurred to you that there is anything to be done! Thank you Riverbend Birth for your immense compassion and insight as we brought our baby into the world!

These ladies are fantastic! My wife and I could not be happier with all the support and advice we…read morereceived from Megan and Marlee. We opted to take all four of the classes they offer and we are so glad we did! Each class was the perfect mix of reflection, information, and time for questions. They stay up to date with new researchers in various fields and had tons of invaluable information and insight. This was our first pregnancy and birth, so we had tons of questions. It was so nice to talk out our hopes and fears with them, I definitely felt more at ease after the classes. At our birth, we ended up working with both Megan and marlee (my labor was a bit long). After the birth, I was struggling with breastfeeding. Marlee was able to provide excellent advice and help us stick with it! Both of them are amazing and have wonderful tools and bedside manner. All the tips and tricks they recommend really do work! If you are looking for kind, open minded, knowledgeable, and passionate doulas, look no further!

There is a lot of love for the midwife center here and much of it is hard won and well deserved…read more Their space is beautiful and modern. Most staff are kind and professional. I appreciate their holistic, personalized approach to healthcare - (they've asked me some thoughtful, out-of-the-box questions and do take interest in the whole picture of your health) - as well as their progressive lean and focus on healthcare accessibility. I was a patient here for over a year and I can tell you that all of these things are the real deal. The weaknesses of this practice - in my layperson opinion - are as follows: 1) Limited scope. They aren't an OB/GYN, and can't really take the place of one. As one of the nurses very snippily told me, they "don't practice medicine", sounding like I had walked into an Applebee's and asked them to operate on my foot. They practice nursing, I get that - I only expect a medical provider to, you know, help me, and not make my issue worse. Lots of folks do prefer midwives to the traditional MDs & DOs, and I can appreciate that, but their ability to diagnose and treat is much more limited than they advertise. For me, this meant visits with three different providers, a misdiagnosis, unnecessary meds, lots of invasive stuff, hundreds of dollars of unnecessary tests, and one sad patient with no answers. I wish they had recognized when something was maybe a little beyond their scope and just referred me out on the front end, saving me a whole bunch of misery. As with most things in life, YMMV. A limited scope of practice might be okay for you! If you're the picture of health and just want to pop in for your annual or grab a birth control script, AND if you're already connected with a solid gynecologist to see for any real problems, this facility might very well meet your needs. Because - my next point: 2) Continuity of care is lacking. They suck at referrals. I was initially told that they have a select few GYNs in the community with whom they work closely and collaboratively. But when I actually needed this referral, I was sent five+ pages of basically an indecipherable, broken wall of text and told I could self-refer to "that clinic at Magee" but that I didn't really "need" to. How helpful is that? 3) Pretty unprofessional billing/recordkeeping practices - I've gotten multiple bills addressed to the wrong person for my own care and have gotten bills with handwriting and white out on them. Their EMR/portal with Maternity Neighborhood is pretty poor quality and I've seen another patient's medical records mixed in with my own! A little concerning. Ultimately, my health concern was promptly addressed and treated at my first visit with an MD elsewhere and I don't intend on returning to this clinic. I do feel this place has a lot of potential and I respect all the positive reviews, but to me the concerns outweigh the benefits. I'd rather go to a more professional clinic with a higher capacity for service.

I delivered my son with TMC a little over a year ago and absolutely loved the entire experience…read more The midwives treated me ever so kindly and never seemed bothered by questions or concerns. I loved that they actually listened to me and valued my opinions and beliefs as a person. My birth went so beautifully, and it is nice to have lovely memories of such a special time in our lives. It was also restful to experience the first few days of my son's life at home with our family instead of lying around in a hospital. I have since been back for well-woman care and have also had terrific experiences with them. The midwives are thorough and truly take their time to answer your questions and listen. I wish more healthcare was like this!

It's located right off of the Bridgeville exit and there are a couple of convenient parking options nearby. The studio is adorable and clean, with quite a spacious yoga room. This class was lead by Torre and I feel she did a really nice job providing a very grounding session. She has great bubbly energy and it really charges you within her teaching. Throughout the whole thing, I feel it was a perfect mix of relaxation and challenge. I would definitely take another class here sometime! The room was set to 90 degrees, but I was impressed how comfortable it felt! The frigid temperatures outside probably had some part in that though. I don't use a yoga mat at home, so I didn't bring one with me, but they kindly allowed me to use one of theirs.

I had been coming to this studio for some years now and usually had a good experience. I planned to…read morego to a 9:30 AM class, but Pittsburgh road construction completely halted my normal route to the studio. I tried to call ahead of time (as I realized I would be late while driving) and nobody answered the phone number listed for the studio. Fine, I thought, I would just be a bit late and miss part of the class. I arrived at 9:40 and tried to open the door to the studio, but it was locked. Oh well -- I decided I'd stick around and talk to them in person afterwards to see if I could be honored coming to a different class in the future. After waiting an hour, I talked to the studio. I was told they got rid of their phone because nobody would answer it. They also did not explain their door locking policy (if I had known about it, I would not have bothered coming). Lastly, I was told they could not honor putting me in a different class because I had booked through class pass, but if I had a membership through the studio itself, they would be able to do that for me. This didn't make any sense to me. Finally, they told me I should purchase a membership, as if this whole experience would have inspired me to do such a thing. Since there are plenty of other studios in Pittsburgh, I'll save my money and go elsewhere.

This is not a beginners studio. There were not many modifications, and I would recommend knowing poses before you go. The facility is nice and very spacious. The instructor was great. The thing that will make me not return is the smell inside the studio itself. It smelled like a dirty locker room.. Musty, sweaty, and almost like urine. While I liked other things about the class I took, I just found that smell so off-putting.
