What parents say

If only I had known of the PWC at any point in the past ten months, I would have opted for my prenatal care and possibly a home birth, with one of the midwives here. Just had my 6-week post partum visit there. This is the epitome of what care looks like...and is exactly what I've been searching for.

I made the switch to Philadelphia Midwife Collective when I was about 17 weeks pregnant because I didn’t want to be just another number in a huge system that is Penn. Not knowing who my caregiver would be when the time came to deliver left me feeling unsettled.

★★★★★ — Lesley, 2025-03

When I had my second baby, I wanted a different experience than my first birth. I was looking for a practice where patients were listened to and where practitioners were knowledgeable in current best-care practices and willing to share their knowledge so that patients could make informed decisions about their care.

★★★★★ — Jessica, 2022-05

In my 38 years on the earth - this was the absolute best experience I’ve ever had with an exam. It was the most comfortable & heard I’ve ever ever felt. Midwife Payj is an amazing human who is insanely knowledgeable, present and engaged.
