My husband and I feel lucky we found Dr. Brennan through Googling, and after our very first meeting realized that the mode of care he and Jais provide--expert, personalized, unrushed, warm, attentive, responsive--is truly one-of-a-kind in this day and age. Throughout my pregnancy, I continued to marvel that if I ever had a question or needed help, I could reliably reach Dr. Brennan or Jais (also highly expert) quickly via phone. I never felt like I was bothering them with questions or concerns. There was never any portal message tag that you get at other offices--it was always a prompt call back. This responsiveness provided me and my husband with great peace of mind, and it frankly ended up feeling like a bragging point amongst our friends, none of whom have had similarly personalized experiences with their providers. It felt like a gift to know that Dr. Brennan, with whom we'd been building a relationship for many months, was the doctor who would reliably deliver our baby (not the case at big practices). Our baby was breech and needed to be delivered via planned C-Section, which I felt emotionally prepared for, thanks to Dr. Brennan and Jais. Dr. Brennan's office coordinated everything well with Lenox Hill Hospital, which, by the way, was fantastic as well. The morning of delivery, when nerves are naturally high, Dr. Brennan's characteristic calm, kind, and witty demeanor was such a balm. Our baby was born beautiful and healthy six weeks ago, and my recovery has been smooth so far. I couldn't recommend Dr. Brennan more enthusiastically for the right family (those who want a highly personalized and un-rushed experience from an experienced physician). Thank you, Dr. Brennan and Jais!

Due to an insurance change, I had to find a new gynecologist. I went to Dr. Alman because another…read morephysician at her practice who had been referred to me was not accepting new patients. I should have vetted her more carefully. I waited 2+ hours for my annual visit. The clinical interview was incomplete for a first visit, especially given that I have a family history of breast cancer. After the visit, my lab results were never posted on the Follow My Health platform and on top of that I learned that they billed incorrectly so I kept getting bills for said lab results, bills that I ultimately paid because I didn't want to ruin my credit. And still no lab results despite calling her office multiple times. Stay away!

Really bad wait times. But the docs aren't bad. I have Dr Alman, and have met Dr Comrie and Dr…read moreLubin. All are nice and decent once you see them. It's just the terrible wait times which for an OBGYN practice seeing pregnant people who can't sit as long as others makes less and less comfortable. They need to hire one mire doc to keep up with wait times or a NP who can see pts if the docs are truly busy. I know they are also delivering babies so that had to do with the reason for one of my wait times but I can't be sure if that was the reason every time. Other than that I think the ladies at the front are nice. Bad things are sometimes it seems impossible to get in touch with the doctor, phone appointments are a bit disorganized ( I've only been called 1 time out if the 3 televisiva I've had scheduled) and you can't view your labs online in 2022. It's an all Black practice in downtown Bk so it's super convenient but needs a lot of improvement in order to stay afloat. Being that I'm almost 8 months pregnant I'm not about to switch providers now but I'm a bit dissatisfied with the care I've gotten. Last reason is because they gave me a free diaper bag. I was grateful. Turned out it was a formula bag. The receptionist who gave it to me asks "what formula are you giving your baby ?" I was shocked. My response was I'm not giving her formula I'm giving her breast milk. And she says oh, ok. No encouragement at all! I don't think formula should be offered BEFORE breast milk. I donated the formula to my jobs food pantry. But that was really off putting.

My husband and I are very happy that we chose Oula for our first pregnancy. The emphasis on…read moremidwife-based pregnancy-care was incredibly important to me as a Black woman from the UK, where midwife care is the norm. In each appointment at the Brooklyn office where I was based, I felt super welcomed and supported. The midwives, nurses and support team always spoke to me as an adult with the ability to make my own informed decisions. In other words, both my pregnancy journey and delivery ensued in a spirit of compassionate collaboration that I found especially empowering. Kendall, Jennifer, Shay, Shy, and Saonjie (who delivered my baby girl) are among the many names and faces that I made my experience so positive. My only frustration with my Oula experience was when I had to bounce between locations in Manhattan. Ordinarily, I had to go to the Spring St location for my ultrasound appointments, which I knew in advance. However, on two occasions my baby was not in the best position for a heart reading, so I was ultimately directed to Carnegie Hill in Midtown. This resulted in me paying a copay for three individual appointments for an appointment that could have been completed in one visit. It seems this is a kink that might have been ironed out since, but not at the time that I was an Oula patient. Still, overall, I am very pleased with my experience with Oula and have since recommended a friend who is now a patient. I would definitely return for any future pregnancies!

I just went…read morethrough my pregnancy journey with the Oula Brooklyn team and cannot even begin to describe the level of attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism that I was shown throughout. Absolutely everyone in the office is wonderful - from the front desk staff to the nurses, the sonographers, and of course the midwives and the doctors (special shoutout to Elisabeth, Dr Olga and Melanie, who were my guardian angels!). They provide truly empowered, comprehensive care, attending to every aspect of a mother's wellbeing - physical and mental health alike. Every visit was so pleasant - quite a different experience than I had with a Weill Cornell OB practice during my first pregnancy. You never wait long to see a provider. No question or concern is made to feel too small or trivial. You're never rushed when in anyone's care. You're empowered to make your own choices and supported in whatever you wish for. And the ability to reach the practice via the portal is so helpful. Oula made my L&D experience an empowered, joyful one, and when I had post-delivery complications that required follow up, they were easy to reach and made arrangements for my continued care with MSW (shout out Kendall!). The hardest part of my Oula journey is saying goodbye to this wonderful team now that my baby is here. This team will always have a special place in my heart, and I cannot recommend Oula Brooklyn enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you Oula team!

The horrible things she said, the unprofessionalism of the staff (whispering about patients in the hallway for other patients to hear!, misplacing urine samples, etc), the number of times she snapped at me as if I was an annoying child....I left completely unsettled about my health. I went back for an urgent matter on a day she wasn't in so I saw her office colleague, who actually explained test results to me as Dr. Cherisme had NOT done the previous visit. I will say that you can get an appointment immediately (well, she's only in the office one day/week), so that's why I went to her as often as I did. No more!

Kimm Sun and Kateryn Nunez of Heart Science Midwifery were my midwives for my third home birth, in…read moreJuly 2020. I loved the experience and recommend them highly. Kimm and Kateryn are certified nurse midwives and provide complete prenatal, home birth and postnatal care. They have a friendly office in Brooklyn for pre-natal appointments. I had my baby during COVID, so for the last half of my pregnancy they switched to a more-Zoom approach, while still having me come to the office for key in-person checkups. They do most testing (including COVID) in house, but refer you to specialist clinics for the 20-week ultrasound and one of the early blood tests. They work with an insurance billing specialist who works with many other NYC-area midwives. My previous two babies were also home births without analgesics, so I have (ahem) low expectations of labor and delivery... hopefully this won't come as a surprise to most people reading this... it pretty much sucks. I do it at home not because it doesn't hurt, but basically for safety reasons, as my mom had 4 C-sections and had a lot of health problems as a result, and hospitals do tons of unnecessary C-sections. Good recent research to look up on this topic is Hutton 2019's meta-analysis of intended home birth, and Scarf's 2018 meta-analysis which also includes data about safety to mothers. In any case, back to the birth, my water broke at about 3am, labor started (slowly) at about 3pm, and the midwives came around 8pm when I thought things were really far along. I like to take my time and not push too hard, so that everything has time to stretch the way it should. But the baby's heart rate decelerated over time, from about 140bpm to about 90bpm, and at that point Kimm and Kateryn told me "the baby is telling us that she wants to come out." They helped me change positions for the next contraction, change for the next contraction again, and then Kimm said "you can push her out on the next one"... and I could, and did, just before midnight. The best part about home birth is after the baby arrives. I snuggled our new little one and my mom and two older daughters came to meet her. Then my husband and kiddos took the baby to bond with her some more, I delivered the placenta, and then took a bath while the midwives cleaned up. We had a champagne toast and dessert, and I took a nap on the couch while the midwives chatted with my mom and did the newborn exam. (Everyone was wearing masks of course.) Then Kimm and Kateryn headed home and we all went to bed. I wanted to include a note on some medical questions people ask me about home birth, although please recognize I'm not a doctor and you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. My understanding is that no home birth midwives offer medicines for pain relief during labor, because the side effects of those drugs, like lower blood pressure, need a hospital setting to manage safely. However home birth midwives do bring medical supplies to your birth, including supplies for newborn resuscitation and to prevent hemorrhage. About 10-15% of home birth moms transfer to the hospital, usually because they're tired and labor is lasting a long time. Midwives solve the "cord around the neck" problem all the time, with their little finger, just like OB's do - my first two kids both had the cord looped around their neck. And midwives solve a declining heart rate by delivering the baby, which based on this experience I would say they know how to do effectively. Thanks Kimm and Kateryn for a great birth experience! Expectant parents reading this, all best wishes for finding the right people to take care of you and your family during your birth!

I am forever grateful for their care, attention and expertise.
