I cannot say it loud enough or far enough-- THIS is the place to go for women's health. I started…read moregoing here when I was pregnant and received the most amazing care, especially from Denise (who has since retired). Now I'm simply going for regular OBGYN care and Jessica is absolutely incredible. Kind, knowledgeable, caring, super likeable. I've expressed my concern to Doctors for YEARS about low energy levels and other symptoms and Jessica was the first to do anything about it--ran labs right there and found the root cause. So nice to finally be seen and heard!

What a joy it is to write a review for Brenda and the entire process from prenatal to postpartum…read morecare that she has provided for our family. We are first time parents, and from our very first visit with Brenda we knew this was going to be a special journey based on the professional and compassionate interaction. My husband's questions about home births were put at ease during our first consultation with Brenda, and now we quite frequently discuss and share with our friends and family just how in awe we are of her wisdom, patience, and expertise in her craft of midwifery. It is apparent that this is her true calling in life, and as her clients we are richly blessed with the experience of working with her. Our birth story was a bit unconventional, and Brenda and her assistant skillfully navigated what was necessary to help our daughter get into the optimal position and ultimately be born without complication or unnecessary stress. After birth, my husband was able to bond with our daughter while Brenda skillfully and compassionately addressed the suturing I needed -- at three in the morning, no less. It was so nice to be able to stay in our own home immediately after giving birth, and on top of that we were also able to have all the newborn care completed at home when Brenda returned the day after birth. We are so thankful for the care, friendship, education, and spiritual encouragement that Brenda has provided and continues to provide for us. We will dearly miss the appointments and conversations, but we hope to have her assist us in the future if we have more children, God willing. We whole-heartedly recommend More Than Birth for anyone opting to have a home birth. Thank you, Brenda and Belinda for your care.

We were so excited to find a birth house but it was nothing but headaches. From the horrible…read morecommunication from the scheduling lady, Rhiannon, she would schedule visits in person when they were supposed to be virtual. She also told us we still needed to pay but we paid everything weeks before and just forgot to look at the invoices. I wanted to take home my placenta, but had to get transferred after birth due to high blood pressure and Rhiannon never told the home nurse to grab it when she was at the birth house. I really wanted it for the day after my delivery. The communication was so so frustrating and unprofessional. One of most frustrating things, was we never got our superbill and I picked a higher deductible plan for my insurance to get more money back... Still so disappointed and if i was still in MI, i woulnt recommend them. They also miss spelled my fiancée name on the birth certificate, when its the same as my sons and his is spelled correctly. Quality of care was okay.

I was soooo low on iron so they were supposed to schedule me with infusions come to find out they messed up my insurance so I had to figure that out on my own and started the infusions way later than I should have .... I also had to schedule my own 20 week anatomy scan because they never did ... for being more "holistic" few days before my due date I had to take a covid test so I did and it was not positive but my midwife said the test showed I was "possibly exposed " to covid so she wanted me to do birth center instead of my home which screwed everything up for me .. I was just surprised that covid was such a big deal .... I ended up giving birth on my own having my husband deliver my baby at home ... paid 900 for a doula which I never used ....

We had just moved to Ludington from overseas and were looking for a gynecologist to provide…read moreprenatal care for us. We were 5 months pregnant, expecting our third son and wanted to have a home water birth under the supervision of a midwife. For insurance purposes, we needed a gynecologist to provide prenatal care. Dr. Gentry was recommended to us by the predecessors of our business. However, when we explained our situation, we were informed by Dr. Gentry's staff that under no circumstances would Dr. Gentry see us or talk to us because we planned on having our child at home and not at the hospital. Since our local hospital does not provide a water birth facility and we had found a midwife who would do so, we felt that this was OK. Having moved to Ludington from overseas, we were used to their health care services. Your gynecologist would not be the attending physician at the birth. It is mandated by law in this country that all births are always assisted by midwives. Dr. Gentry's staff were rude and abrupt with my wife. She left the office in tears. The situation could have been handled better. Granted, there were some differences in how insurances run, but we were treated quite unprofessionally.

Dr. Gentry said he would perform the surgery regardless, since I would die soon without it. He did so, and now, eight years later, I am in good health and pain free. Hard to imagine a more kind and generous act than that.

I am a health care professional and know for a fact they don't have radiologist on site to read the mammograms. They hire out or state for the readings. If something is abnormal and you need a biopsy, you will end up going right back to the hospital who had performed your mammograms all along. I found the doctor at Alliance very unprofessional. The front staff weren't all that impressive, either with HIPPA violations left and right!
