Audrey K Allard

Nurse Midwife Allard has taken fantastic care of me. I had a really bad scare with pain in both breasts literally the day after my Dad passed. The Yakima breast health clinic's earliest appt was 5 mo out. So obviously not acceptable. I was a bit skeptical about having a midwife as a provider. NM Allard has proven to be one of the best, kindest and most thorough providers I've encountered. And has helped me make progress on a very Intimate Issue that the exceptionally burned out women's health provider here barely acknowledged. In fact, they haven't so much as contacted me In 4 years for a yearly exam. So yaaaaay Swedish Midwifery. You Rock!!!

I really appreciated that Audrey took the time to debrief my labor with me and answer all my questions. She pulled up info in my chart and my daughter's to help me understand all the context. I felt cared for.

Knowledgeable and respectful of my wishes, questions and concerns.

Provider was very thorough and patiently answered all my questions. Provider also offered various treatment options and was respectful of my past experience and personal preferences, while also making it known that I could change my mind at any time and pursue a different career plan. Provider was also very clear about shadowing doctors and walked through how they would be involved/asked if I was comfortable with them providing some of the care.

We really appreciated the time Audrey took with us. I feel like she listened to our concerns and questions and made meaningful connections that help to instill trust in the ongoing care. You can tell she loves what she does and is incredibly good at it, especially when it comes to putting a first time mom at ease. Thanks for the extra time you took with us, it does not go unnoticed.

Great bedside manner!

I love the prenatal support and care I've had at Swedish from the entire midwifery team so far (34 weeks). I have done centering and have learned so much, have been able to reach a midwife after hours on several occasions and treated with kindness and care, and had a great experience at ultrasounds and bloodwork.

Audrey is a fantastic provider! She is knowledgeable, skillful, warm and professional. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends!

Audrey was very helpful and as I have a complicated history was thorough and I received excellent follow up on my results from her and team via MyChart.

I appreciated that she showed me examples/visual aids of different options and that she made sure I understood her explanations.
