She is a very caring physician. She didn’t question what I needed but did review the risks of the procedure. Very pleased. Very skilled.

She was so Patient with me and my inability to come to terms with my birth plan not working. She understood my desires, made things as close to that as could be during an emergent c section for bad heart tones. My daughter is perfect and healthy and that’s all I could ask for, but on top Of that, she made sure I felt heard and comfortable and as “natural” as possible. I’m crunchy.

I can’t thank her enough for safely delivering our baby who needed an emergency c section. She got him out rapidly and was so calm and reassuring that we almost didn’t realize how much of an emergency it was until the nursery nurses told us. And I’m only 10 weeks out and can’t even see my scar.
