Kelly Rae was our doula and an intern midwife for the duration of my pregnancy, and was there to…read morehelp catch my daughter as she was born in our home. For nine months, Kelly Rae was available to me as a constant support, a teacher, a calming presence, and a friend. She answered any and every question I had, and if she didn't know the answer, she'd research it and get back to me as soon as she had an accurate and well-studied answer. This gal knows her stuff more than anyone I have met in this profession! Kelly Rae would show up to our house with nutritious teas, books about pregnancy/delivery/self-care, and her adorable and loving presence, whenever I needed her. When she was there, she was THERE-always focused on me and my baby and my family! I had several bouts of prodromal labor-each time, no matter what time of day it was, Kelly Rae showed up to help me stay calm, she rubbed my feet and my back, and helped me work through pain. I knew she'd be there for me no matter what! On the night I went in to labor, Kelly Rae was the first one at my door. She guided me through my contractions, helped me stay collected, and was the one to say "Reach down and catch your baby!" when my daughter made her arrival! She was there at every follow up appointment, and helped me through a few days of difficult breastfeeding, as well as the concerns many moms of newborns have! I couldn't have had such a positive birth experience without her. Kelly Rae also encapsulated my placenta! I wish I had done this with my first child, but I'm SO GLAD I did this last time. She had the capsules back to me less than 24 hours after she took it to process! I still take a tincture she taught me to make, 6 months postpartum! Overall, I felt fantastic, and I genuinely credit my experience mixed with my placenta capsules to this. Ladies-use Kelly Rae. I can't sing her praises enough! She's a rock star, and you'll be grateful to her for the rest of your life-I promise!

Kelly was an amazing doula for my first labor and birth. She guided me through my pregnancy with…read moreincredible knowledge, especially during the last trimester when nothing seems to help the aches and pains and other pregnancy side effects, and when it came time to go to the hospital she was so helpful and comforting. I had a few complications during labor and Kelly did such a great job in keeping me focused and at ease. I highly recommend her.

I have ALWAYS had positive experiences when I've come to ANW. In the past, I've only come here for…read moreemergencies--fell and hurt my hand, eye issues, and one time getting outpatient surgery in 2004. However, last week was my first time as an inpatient. If you've read through my previous reviews, you will have discovered that I had my first gallbladder attack in November 2012 while I was a resident of Maryland. I had the unfortunate experience of going to Laurel General Hospital and received subpar care. I was advised at that time to get my gallbladder removed, but I sure as hell wasn't about to get the procedure done there, so I declined. From about 2013 until last Thursday, I was symptom free; however, I experienced the same gallbladder attack around 1 a.m. last Thursday. That pain eventually went away, but another intense pain continued and did not go away. I was shaky and weak and decided I better go to the emergency department to get checked out. When I went in, it was around 6 a.m., and no other patients were in the lobby when I arrived, so I was tended to immediately. The nurse took my vitals and placed me into a room. Another nurse named Richard was my caregiver after that. He was very compassionate and kind took EXCELLENT care of me. He placed my IV, gave me fluids, and pain medication. Shortly thereafter, around 7:30, I got my abdominal ultrasound, which showed that my bile duct was dilated and might be blocked with a stone. I was advised to get an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to sweep clean the bile duct, then get my gallbladder removed, which I agreed to have both procedures done. I had quite a few doctors come through before my EUS to check in on me, make sure I was the correct patient, and knew of which procedures I had agreed to have done. The EUS done around 1 p.m., and when I woke up in the OR, it was a little bit after 2 p.m. The EUS went very well, and the stone blocking the bile duct was able to be removed. The only issue was afterward was that my throat felt so bad because of the tubes that had to go down my throat. In the recovery area, a nurse named Iris was WONDERFUL! She kept checking on me and giving me ice chips. I was scheduled to have my gallbladder removed the next day (Friday) around 10:30 or so and was admitted. I was disappointed with how long I had to wait for my room, which was a good 3 hours or so (UGH!), but I finally made it there around 6:30 and was happy that I was given a private room. I have to say that all the nurses who cared for me when I was in my room pre-op and post-op were great, and the two standouts were Reza and LaVivian. They were AWESOME!! Five stars for these two! My surgery came and went without complication, and Reza was incredibly kind, helpful, and very straightforward. He helped me get out of bed the first time after my surgery, and I was in so much pain that I didn't want to move, but he was patient and stern with me and in so many words told me to get my ass out of bed and into the bathroom. I finally did and things got better on their own. He was Johnny-on-the-spot checking in on me and making sure I had everything I needed. LaVivian was one of the night staff nurses, and she was kind, compassionate, and HILARIOUS! Absolutely loved her! I hated that she had to go back to her station, but it was all good. About three doctors came in to check on me throughout my stay, which very thorough, in my opinion, and the nurses were fastidious with my heparin injections and pain meds and to take vitals. I was never in too much pain from my actual surgery; however, I did have an issue with back and leg pain. Because I was strapped down on the operating table and have spinal stenosis and was on my back for so long during gallbladder surgery, the upper part of my left thigh was numb, and I had constant pain in my back on both sides, which then radiated into my legs. That was the worst of it. Of course, now, those problems have resolved. I disliked being woken up, of course, to have my blood drawn, but it's a hospital, and that's just par for the course when you're an inpatient. I didn't eat a whole lot, but as far as my first experience with hospital food, it wasn't bad. I ate mostly Jell-O and water ice, drank mostly cranberry juice and water, and on my last day, I had my first full solid meal of scrambled eggs, a veggie sausage patty, French toast, raisin bran with soy milk, and more cranberry juice. On my last day, the doctor came in and said I could be discharged and that it would take about an hour, but it took more like 2 or 3 hours; nonetheless, I was happy to be leaving. Reza tended to me and ordered an escort. He was able to make me and my husband laugh and was just a super star of a caregiver. I will never forget the great level of care I received during my stay. This is why I will always go to ANW for emergencies and anything else. Thank you, ANW staff, for taking very good care of me!

After I assisted her to the restroom and got back to the bed and tucked her in someone showed up 45 minutes later and I angerly told her I took care of it and I will send you a bill. My son who is a RN worked here and said allina is the worst hospital he's ever worked in and the employees are all grumpy from the treatment they get from the upper echilon. He works at Methodist hospital in St.Louis Park and said it's a wonderful place to work. Go there if you need surgery.

Working with Justine, Ale, and Rachel was definitely the best decision my spouse and I made in our…read morebirth experience! From providing evidence-based responses to our questions to helping us advocate with providers to simply cheering us on, we were so supported by this team! Justine joined us at the hospital for labor and was absolutely essential to making us both feel comfortable and safe as mine and baby's medical situation got more complicated. We truly could not have imagined doing this without her!!

If you're on the fence about hiring a doula like we were, don't be--especially if you're…read moreconsidering Justine and her team. We hired Justine for our second pregnancy because I was high-risk, on Lovenox, and managing gestational diabetes, and an unmedicated birth felt right for us. With my first pregnancy, I had no complications and chose an epidural, so my husband was very skeptical about needing a doula this time, especially since our first delivery went so smoothly. What ultimately made us move forward was knowing that my husband, being a very logical person, wouldn't be able to give me the emotional support I'd need during labor. After meeting Justine on a video call, everything instantly felt right. She was warm, supportive, and confident from the start, and she was the only doula who genuinely believed I could have an unmedicated birth--especially considering how quickly my first labor progressed with an epidural. She also reassured my husband that her support was just as much for him as it was for me. Throughout the pregnancy, Justine and her team answered every question and helped me navigate every curveball. No matter what came up, she was there with guidance, resources, and a listening ear. On delivery day, I delivered our baby girl in under an hour--completely unmedicated, just as we hoped. Even though there were moments when I wanted to give up, Justine's calm presence and steady, encouraging voice helped me push through. It ended up being the most magical birth experience I've ever had, and I still can't believe I did it. Hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made. TL;DR: We were unsure about hiring a doula, but Justine completely changed our minds. Despite a high-risk pregnancy, she supported us from day one, reassured my skeptical husband, and helped me have a fast, completely unmedicated birth. Her calm, steady presence made it the most magical delivery experience--we're so glad we chose her.
