I would rather give birth alone in a barn than be abused by Kameron. I was lied to, drugged despite…read morerefusals, coerced, and threatened that I would die and my baby would be brain dead. All while in labor with my first, possibly only, child. I had read hours upon hours about my risks (low) she read the front page and none of the linked studies on vaginal birth after fibroid removal surgery then used fear mongering to scare my family. When I disagreed she made up a diagnosis without any labs, signs or symptoms and forced medication into my IV while I slept. I probably had toxicity based on symptoms, but no labs were checked for another 12 hours. They withheld significant information from me, making informed consent iffy at best. Because of the medications I was given I have almost no memory for 36 hours, including the birth and first day of my little one's life. It is devastating. Because of their interventions I had a massive hemorrhage a few hours after birth, where an emergency team was required to stop my bleeding (~2.7L between surgery, a small hemorrhage, and the severe hemo). I struggle with severe birth trauma, postpartum depression w/suicidal ideation, PTSD, and body dysmorphia (from the unwanted and completely unnecessary C-section). This practice does have some very kind people, but you don't get to choose who you get. I have heard a few reports of lovely births...follow your gut and hire a doula for added support/protection.

The business of birthing is a crazy arena…read more On one hand, you have the assembly-line production of a place like Baptist, which is set up to crank out babies regardless the costs to the mother. Sure, it has pretty rooms and massages, but it is all about the c-sections and interventions. On the other hand, you have a group like the Vanderbilt Nurse Midwives. Really the focus there is on the mother and child, and their safety, not making sure the baby comes out so the doctor can hit his tee time. And the really cool thing is that they are totally impartial and non-judgmental; no matter what way you choose to have your kid, they have your back. The rooms at Vandy may not have rich Corinthian leather recliners, but if something goes wrong, you're right there in one of the best hospitals in the country. With our first child, they were fantastic from an education and reassurance standpoint. I think one thing that is truly missing from medical professionals nowadays is the ability to empathize and frankly have a conversation. Not so here. Everyone that I have met through this practice has been amazing. My wife's primary nurse midwife is Linda Hughlett who has been a fantastic resource of advice and guidance for my wife. For the birth of our first child, my wife was in labor for 41 hours, so it was kind of a rollercoaster ride. It took so long that we went through two of the nurse midwives, Emma Gensert, who managed to be energetic, positive and supportive for over 12 hours, and Soheyl Asadsangabi who came in for the end with all new positive energy to help my wife get the job done. They were a great team, working with the nurses and our doula seamlessly and very flexible when the plans changed and my wife decided to get an epidural at hour 36. With our second kid, we had the amazing care of Melissa Allred and a nurse midwife in training, Sarah. While we were really only in their care for around four hours, it was wonderful how positive and supportive of us they were during the process. I can never thank them enough and with their help, my wife ended up delivering unmedicated! The Vanderbilt Nurse-Midwives were also recently featured in a new TLC series, "Baby's First Day". So, if you want a birthing experience without an agenda, centered around the needs of the mommy and baby, combined with a level of care that unusual in this day and age, this is the way to go. Oh yeah, and dads, get a doula, at least for your first one. It's the best thing you can do as an impending parent, short of buying scotch.

Taking my kids here have been so frustrating and the lack of communication is making me take my…read morekids elsewhere. I brought one kid in here for some serious issues and one of the doctors literally told us to have her drink more water. Brought her back in 2 days later because the pain is worsening. Tests, X-rays , what could bes was Thursday morning. I called Friday and followed up saying they'd call me back after hours. Just to find out blood work wasn't back in until Monday. Here we are Monday and no one has called me back to talk about our results. It's awesome because you call to follow up and they are closed so it's a catch 22. I'll be moving pediatricians after I collect both my kids files and move on to somewhere who has much better bedside manners, communications, and online profiles where I can access my kids bloodwork instead of wondering all weekend if she's diabetic! For the amount of doctors and receptionist this place has youd think they be on it, but they are by far so disorganized and no one seems to know anything or actually care. I followed up about X-rays (that to me seemed urgent for our daughter) and the receptionist said "well I'm still going through yesterdays faxes so I have to catch up" and I said "okay I mean if the results are urgent they'd call you right? Like you can't miss that?" She replied, "like I said I'm still going through yesterdays faxes.."

I made an…read moreappointment on their website about a month in advance, and was able to verify that they accepted my insurance as well. New patients start out with their WHNPs rather than with an MD, which makes total sense to me. There are detailed bios and availability calendars online for all of their providers. If you've never been to this office before, parking can be a bit tricky to figure out. There's a garage for patients off of 20th Ave., and the easiest way to find the entrance is to turn right on State St. and then left into the garage. After parking, you'll want to take the elevator to the second floor walkway over to the medical building, and then follow the signs in there to another elevator and take that up to the fifth floor. It sounds more complicated than it is, and it's easy to remember after you do it once. The office waiting room is beautiful, with lots of natural light, plenty of seating, and a gorgeous view of the Nashville skyline. There were dozens of women waiting for appointments, but the check-in process is all done online through a QR code, making it super quick and easy. Their team is efficient - and it makes sense why they can see so many women in one day! I saw Elizabeth Napier (Lizzie) and have nothing but wonderful things to say about my appointment. To any women who are putting off their well women exam because they don't know where to go ... this is the place!

I quickly realized that people can be very negative about this, and lots of women think it is crazy not to choose an epidural. Dr. McGuire never once told me that I couldn't do it. She was so wonderful, and I know that her support and positivity were part of the reason that I had such a great natural birthing experience. She always makes you feel like you are the only patient she has all day, and the wait is never long. I did wait for about 20 minutes one time. That was because she was delivering a baby at the hospital. When she arrived, she was so cool, calm and collected. She never seems stressed, and you can tell that she really loves what she does. It sounds crazy, but after my son was born, I was sad to go back to seeing her only once a year! I recommed her to all of my friends.
