I was openly between the hospital or using the Birthing Inn and was told I needed to pay the $475 to start the registration. I was told it was sometimes refundable. I did not complete the registration and called to get the very sizable $475 back but was told the owner denied it. I received no services from this facility and utilized the hospital for my delivery. Please note, if you're on the fence to NOT pay the fee until you're certain.

It has taken me 7 years to write a review. Susan was my midwife and I was fortunate enough that she…read moretook me under her care a few weeks before my due date, not without charging me the full amount of course. I had just turned 20 and my husband had just been discharged from the army and we had just moved to Washington. I was traveling from Bellevue so expected at least a 45 minute trip to the birthing center when I did go into labor. My mother called Susan the day before to tell her I had a family history of very fast labors and that I was showing signs of early labor. When we left Bellevue that night , my mom called to let her know we were heading to The Birthing Inn. Susan let us know she was out to dinner with her family but would meet us there. Well we got there and the place was dark and I proceeded to labor in the car hoping I didn't give birth before she arrived. She finally showed up after 25 minutes and set up a room for me, not the room I chose even though there were no other women there. I had agreed to having a single student present and there were at least 3 strangers I'd never met coming in and out and I was very upset about that. I felt she took all my money and used me for all her students to gain experience. After I gave birth, I felt great. I remember sitting on the edge of the birthing tub when Susan said that the placenta needed to be delivered right away and that I was bleeding too much. She then pulled my placenta out of my body...I felt it tear out of me and instantly felt a gush of blood and was extremely weak. Barely after placing my baby on my chest to nurse she was bringing up controversial things that my husband and I had not yet agreed on, asking us if we had come to an agreement, which was none of her business and caused me a lot of distress. She was still concerned about my bleeding and told me that if It didn't stop that she was going to have me transferred to a hospital. After 6 hours she was rushing me out of there and told me if I wasn't able to get up and walk out of there then she was calling an ambulance. She was gone before I left. I remember hobbling out of the room and having to sit down multiple times to avoid passing out. I felt so stressed that she would send me to the hospital and separate me from my baby. A sad difference from when I gave birth to my second child and was wheeled out in a wheelchair and given so much support and compassion. My birth felt like a rushed inconvenience.. like she was just trying to get back to her family and she had no respect for me or my birthing experience.

He will gaslight you and laugh in your face saying "You have endometriosis I don't know what else you want me to tell you I've done everything I could do for you". He lied saying he did everything he could to remove as much endometriosis as possible during his surgery performed on 4/10 last year. I had a second opinion tell me otherwise...my case is so severe that Dr.Eun's procedure did nothing and I had to have a second more severe procedure done in January 2025. He also prescribed me Myfembree, which my second opinion told me is terrible for my body destroying my bones and hormones and to stop taking immediately. He also laughed at my suggestion of Pelvic PT appointments said they "wouldn't do anything". Again, my case is so severe I am now scheduled for PT appointments once a week for the next 12 weeks. I had concerns of protein in my urine, again Dr.Eun laughed in my face and didn't even test my urine last time I was in office (even though a urine sample was taken and I requested my urine be checked for protein). This is a private practice as well...the healthcare system needs to better...this is unacceptable.

He made me feel comfortable and confident throughout my pregnancy, which is something I am beyond grateful for. When it came time for delivery, my baby had other plans and I ended up needing a C-section. Thankfully, Dr. Nickel had already taken the time to explain everything to me beforehand so that when the moment came, it wasn't scary or rushed. Because of his preparation and clear communication, my C-section went smoothly and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Leading up to delivery & after delivery I appreciated his check ins, it was nice to see a friendly face around! The nurses and staff at his practice are also absolutely outstanding. They were so kind, attentive, and just wonderful to be around--it really makes all the difference. Nurses and doctors can truly make or break your experience, and I feel so lucky to have had such an amazing team by my side. Truly one of the best. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Dr. Nickel and the nurses made what could have been a stressful situation into something positive and reassuring, and I will always be thankful for the outstanding care I received.

We were so tired of…read morebeing treated like cattle by hospitals, with midwives giving us conflicting information, not listening to us, and leaving us feeling unsafe. So we reached out to Christine and In Tandem for a consultation. I honestly have always been a bit skeptical and afraid of home birth, so I came armed with a lot of questions. But once we talked (virtually) to Christine, we immediately felt compassion and care. She is the perfect guide - never pushing her own agenda, listening, but not afraid to give you her opinion. She backs everything up with science and her experience. Christine put us at ease throughout our pregnancy - That was the exact opposite to what we had experienced at our hospitals. She always listened, and even involved our oldest kiddo during visits. Christine and her team were amazing during our son's birth, we felt so safe and cared for. We had great postpartum care as well, coming to our home and checking on my partner, answering questions, and again, involving our older kiddo. It's been almost two years since, and we still miss Christine!

PART 2/2 (finishing our review on my husband's account due to character limit):…read more Now for the postpartum care. This is the most unique part of choosing midwifery care and in my opinion, the #1 reason to do so. Whereas in the traditional obstetric model you typically see your provider one time at 6 weeks (often just to make sure you don't have any signs or symptoms of postpartum mood disorder, to discuss birth control, and to clear you for sex and physical activity), Christine sees clients and their new babies about 6 times in the first 6ish weeks after birth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all postpartum visits have been at home. These visits are about so much more than just you and your baby's physical well-being; they are focused on the entire family, involving older kiddos in the home, and it's evident that Christine genuinely cares about how everyone is adjusting and doing emotionally. For the first two weeks of your baby's life, Christine's license includes the provision of all routine pediatric care, saving you from additional appointments or trips out of the home so you as the birthing person can focus on recovering and celebrating your growing family. Again, the level of attentiveness and family-centered care received is unmatched. After the birth of our first son, I dealt with a resurgence of a lifelong struggle with anxiety related to the transition to parenthood. Until I connected to a community of West Seattle mama friends, I can genuinely say Christine and Taylor were the women who provided me with the most support. After the birth of our second son, I experienced some unexpected postpartum complications that required me to page Christine. I could have easily been sent to the Emergency Department for the symptoms I was experiencing, but Christine took the time to come evaluate me in the comfort of my own home and provide me with additional testing and support. If anything page-worthy arises during your time in care with In Tandem, you will receive a response promptly, and instead of a nurse line as in hospital-based care, you get to talk to your midwife directly. If you are looking for perinatal care that will change your life, look no further than In Tandem. The name of the practice is so fitting as your midwife will walk hand-in-hand with you and your family every step of the way. Pregnant families--run don't walk to In Tandem Midwifery!

Back in 2021, my husband daughter & twin sons (in the womb) moved from the OC back to my hometown…read more I was about 17-18 weeks pregnant just finding out that I was having twins!! I was elated but knew I needed to find the right provider who would be totally supportive of my decision to give birth naturally. I interviewed 2 other OB's + they automatically told me that they don't have time to wait for twin moms to labor & I knew they weren't a fit. I emailed Dr. Stu from CA + another midwife in the Greater Seattle area asking for recs. I was led to Dr. Ho! In short, my care with her was excellent. She didn't do unnecessarily long ultrasounds. She encouraged me to eat a ton of protein to ensure good blood volume & weight gain. She didn't enforce or force anything on me + my twin sons even though it was clear what her opinions were on certain things. She just encouraged me to let my body do its work & to wait on timing. She herself has twin brothers!! Lol. Honestly she made midwifery/OB life so cool + interesting. Not for me though. Anywho... She also has incredible bedside manners lol never barged in when I was in the middle of labor just right at the end to catch my sons. Seriously so sad that she closed her clinic cause she's quite the OB/midwife. The hospital also respects her a lot & trusts her judgment which was awesome to see. Praying that she heals + enjoys her retirement. She is a gem. My sons were both over 7 lbs. I didn't have NICU time. It was my fastest labor... and no complications all glory to God!! So thankful for her Also the staff there was so chill, friendly, & genuine. I really am so sad that she's not in practice anymore.

DO NOT GO HERE THEY CANNOT TREAT THE VOLUME OF PATIENTS THEY TAKE IN!!!…read more I actually had to switch OB/GYN offices because I was suffering patient neglect from this location. I have been having severe nausea and vomiting from the very first appointment I ever had there. The midwife, Karin Peacock, neglected to record any of my symptoms of nausea and vomiting and actually wrote in her notes that I was doing great. The only advice she had given me about being nauseous vomiting constantly and in capable of eating any food was "have you ever thought about it being fuel for the baby?" As if I'm some kind of idiot. When I finally got a diagnosis for hyperemesis gravidarum she told me that she thinks I probably don't actually have that. Even though I was diagnosed by the ER doctor that has a higher degree more experience and more knowledge in the subject that she recommended I go to. I was honest with one of the receptionists about what had happened and she told me she thought they could do better and asked me if I would like to come in and speak with Dr. Ho the main doctor at this office. When I came in to speak with Dr. Ho she told me that they have too many clients to be offering that level of care or being able to keep track of who has just morning sickness and who has HG. Dr. Ho if you're reading this if you cannot take care of the volume of patients that you have you need to lower the amount of patients that you're seeing. This is malpractice this is patient neglect and I hope that no one ever hast to deal with what I dealt with at your clinic it was absolutely pathetic and ridiculous. The fact that you laughed at me when I tried to speak with you about the issues I was having with Karin Peacock it's jarring.

I was referred to dr Sarah Lewing for OBGYN services by my primary care provider…read more I'm sure most women who have needed anything OBGYN related not involving giving birth will automatically know every single discomfort any of THESE visits have the potential to entail. No one is ever running to be early to these visits. Mine was no exception and it was choc full of everything these appointments are famous for as well as a few new ones since now we have "age related concerns". I'm not going to lie. There was talk of me rescheduling and never returning. It is with mixed emotions that I say that both Jackie ( the MA) and Dr Lewing were nothing short of ....I honestly can't think of an appropriate word. They both exhibited traits of genuine concern, empathy, a sense of humor when appropriate and a sympathetic word of encouragement when we were all parting ways. Dr Lewing was extremely educational, honest and straightforward with information. Not only will I return without being forced, and I'm certain to never enjoy our visits, I trust them and for that reason as long as I remain a female I'll be a patient

I was pregnant with my first baby this summer, and Dr. Kundacina was brought in the room to assess why baby wasnt descending after hrs of pushing. She never introduced herself, came to my bedside or even asked how I was. In a dimly litroom, I had no idea where she was in relation to my body, and without verbal cue or counting, shoved her entire hand in my vagina mid push during a contraction. I immediately clammed up and she continued to try getting her hand in. Never once asked why I clammed up or began shaking immensely after this, instead told me to "relax your legs and bottom" over and over. There was no emotional support, coaching to help relax, or assess my mental well being after this. That was the first if many violations during a really long, sad labor. Violations to my body continued from many providers, with no apology or care for me as a person. Please don't see this provider if you are wanting compassionate or trauma informed care. I only saw midwife Ariel at this location. I respected her input, until I read my discharge notes. The wording she used was one step away from 1959's calling women hysterical. When I had low milk supply, common with traumatic births, she expressed doubt that it was a hormonal imbalance and in a really patronizing tone, said " you're just too tired and stressed for your body to make milk." When I kept advocating for blood work and my test results came back abnormally low, there was never even a response from her or any sense of validation, or apology for expressing doubt about what I was feeling and knowing to be true (I had tried weeks of power pumping, galactogues, tinctures, rest, pills, etc). Could not recommend providers at this office. One star only because Yelp requires that as a minimum.
