What parents say

Edit: switching this to five stars because they were very kind and reached out to me to address this issue. Hoping that it’s not a normal thing and looking forward to using this clinic! I want to start off by stating that I have absolutely loved working with Sara Johnson and Jane P. They should get endless stars!

Best clinic ever and I am so glad I found them when I was frantically searching for a provider at 14 weeks pregnant…We had tried another clinic before that & they wouldn’t let us get seen the day of our appointment since our insurance didn’t cover even though we had set up the appointment weeks in advance.

I had a great experience with the midwives and nurses here. I found them to be supportive and good about answering questions. At around the 32 week mark, they were concerned about possible fetal growth restriction.

★★★★★ — Kalynn, 2024-11

I switched from my old OB clinic to the midwives after a terrible miscarriage experience in late 2021. I just gave birth to my second child in late 2022 and can't recommend this clinic enough. I felt seen and heard at every appointment, even with meeting with a different midwife each appointment.
