Dr. Rachel and her shadower, Brittany, made me feel so comfortable! I know it is in my best interest to see other providers during my pregnancy, and I'm hoping everyone else is as great as that duo. They both made me feel like I had been their patient for years and made me feel so comfortable, which made it easier for me to ask any and all questions that I had. I immediately knew I made the right decision of having a midwife.

Rachel has always been great to work with, she unfortunately has had to deliver bad news about complications multiple times to me and always handles with care and kindness helping me feel heard and making sure I understand all procedures to follow. I've never felt rushed and all concerns are answered
