    There is a lot of love for the midwife center here and much of it is hard won and well deserved…read more Their space is beautiful and modern. Most staff are kind and professional. I appreciate their holistic, personalized approach to healthcare - (they've asked me some thoughtful, out-of-the-box questions and do take interest in the whole picture of your health) - as well as their progressive lean and focus on healthcare accessibility. I was a patient here for over a year and I can tell you that all of these things are the real deal. The weaknesses of this practice - in my layperson opinion - are as follows: 1) Limited scope. They aren't an OB/GYN, and can't really take the place of one. As one of the nurses very snippily told me, they "don't practice medicine", sounding like I had walked into an Applebee's and asked them to operate on my foot. They practice nursing, I get that - I only expect a medical provider to, you know, help me, and not make my issue worse. Lots of folks do prefer midwives to the traditional MDs & DOs, and I can appreciate that, but their ability to diagnose and treat is much more limited than they advertise. For me, this meant visits with three different providers, a misdiagnosis, unnecessary meds, lots of invasive stuff, hundreds of dollars of unnecessary tests, and one sad patient with no answers. I wish they had recognized when something was maybe a little beyond their scope and just referred me out on the front end, saving me a whole bunch of misery. As with most things in life, YMMV. A limited scope of practice might be okay for you! If you're the picture of health and just want to pop in for your annual or grab a birth control script, AND if you're already connected with a solid gynecologist to see for any real problems, this facility might very well meet your needs. Because - my next point: 2) Continuity of care is lacking. They suck at referrals. I was initially told that they have a select few GYNs in the community with whom they work closely and collaboratively. But when I actually needed this referral, I was sent five+ pages of basically an indecipherable, broken wall of text and told I could self-refer to "that clinic at Magee" but that I didn't really "need" to. How helpful is that? 3) Pretty unprofessional billing/recordkeeping practices - I've gotten multiple bills addressed to the wrong person for my own care and have gotten bills with handwriting and white out on them. Their EMR/portal with Maternity Neighborhood is pretty poor quality and I've seen another patient's medical records mixed in with my own! A little concerning. Ultimately, my health concern was promptly addressed and treated at my first visit with an MD elsewhere and I don't intend on returning to this clinic. I do feel this place has a lot of potential and I respect all the positive reviews, but to me the concerns outweigh the benefits. I'd rather go to a more professional clinic with a higher capacity for service.

    I delivered my son with TMC a little over a year ago and absolutely loved the entire experience…read more The midwives treated me ever so kindly and never seemed bothered by questions or concerns. I loved that they actually listened to me and valued my opinions and beliefs as a person. My birth went so beautifully, and it is nice to have lovely memories of such a special time in our lives. It was also restful to experience the first few days of my son's life at home with our family instead of lying around in a hospital. I have since been back for well-woman care and have also had terrific experiences with them. The midwives are thorough and truly take their time to answer your questions and listen. I wish more healthcare was like this!

    THE BUSINESS NAME SHOULD READ HEART & HANDS DOULA!!! I have…read morenow had my second child & again I can't praise Ellen (at Heart & Hands) enough! She took a lot of time, in our prenatal visits, helping me learn technics to aid in encouraging good baby positioning for labor. She suggested that I do several things on a daily basis & I did everything she said! (My first LO was posterior for most of my 26.5 hrs of labor; I pushed for about 1.5 hrs.) My second was presenting posterior as well, late in the pregnancy. I wanted to have another drug free natural birth but I did not want to have to manage another posterior positioned baby in labor. Thankfully Ellen's years of experience truly benefitted me!!! I had a wonderful natural birth that was only 5 hrs 10 minutes! My LO was was in my arms after about 20 minutes of pushing, if it was even that long!!! In addition, to helping me prepare, her postpartum visits & follow up calls were truly needed. She was a listening ear whiled I cried & vented my mommy blues. I loved both my birth experiences & I strongly feel that without my Doulas things could have gone much differently!!!

    I heard of Heart to Heart Doulas from a friend of a friend. My husband and I were pregnant with our…read morefirst child. Since I can remember, I always wanted a natural, drug and intervention free, vaginal birth. I am a very type A personality. My husband and I read book after book on how to have the safest, healthiest pregnancy. We took 2 childbirth classes. We listened to friends and family. We learned about doulas, but not until what some people called "late in the game". I began to panic. I didn't know 30 weeks was "late in the game." I reached out to friends and found Heart to Heart. I called that day. I spoke with Jami. She was kind, reassuring, knowledgable, and supportive. Jami was the original doula who was recommended, but wasn't available during the time of our due date. My husband and I read through the bios on the website and we picked Erin and Ellen as our team to be our main and backup. Jamie made sure both were available and we set up a meeting with Erin as our doula and Ellen as our back up. Over the course of the next 10 weeks or so, Erin became more than a doula, but a friend. I could message or call her with anything. She went above and beyond any expectations I had. Ellen gave great advice and support as well. Even though she had other clients, as my back up, she still stayed in touch. It was fabulous. My daughter came 1 week ago today. I labored for 12 hours through back labor and as our pediatrician calls it, Gracie presented herself to the world "sunny side up." Wrong direction, little lady. I think of myself as a strong person, but if I didn't have Erin with me, I am not sure I would have been able to have the drug free birth I wanted. She was supportive mentally and physically. She supported my husband. She guided us to the finish line. She even took amazing pictures to capture a lot of moments that wouldn't have been (with our permission, of course.) I have an audio clip of my baby's first cry. She added so much to our experience in ways I never thought possible. This group showed nothing but love and support to their clients. You can truly see how much they love their jobs. Erin will be the second person I call when my next pregnancy test turns positive. I recommend this group from the bottom of my heart.

    My husband and I felt very fortunate to have Marlee and Megan on our team leading up to our birth…read moreand post partum. We had a lot of questions and fears, and Riverbend helped us avoid feelings of overwhelm when it came to researching and making decisions about it. They are extremely informed about options for birthing people, and always had some kind of suggestion or insight into the process. Our birth itself was also made easier by having people who have been through this before to consult through early labor and who understood the way our hospital worked. Post partum, Marlee's kind and nonjudgmental guidance during some difficulties with feeding were particularly invaluable. She was able to help me pump comfortably and effectively, and also helped me get to a better place mentally about that process. Marlee is also great at finding pain points in the fog of newborn parenting and helping make things a little easier, even when it may not have occurred to you that there is anything to be done! Thank you Riverbend Birth for your immense compassion and insight as we brought our baby into the world!

    These ladies are fantastic! My wife and I could not be happier with all the support and advice we…read morereceived from Megan and Marlee. We opted to take all four of the classes they offer and we are so glad we did! Each class was the perfect mix of reflection, information, and time for questions. They stay up to date with new researchers in various fields and had tons of invaluable information and insight. This was our first pregnancy and birth, so we had tons of questions. It was so nice to talk out our hopes and fears with them, I definitely felt more at ease after the classes. At our birth, we ended up working with both Megan and marlee (my labor was a bit long). After the birth, I was struggling with breastfeeding. Marlee was able to provide excellent advice and help us stick with it! Both of them are amazing and have wonderful tools and bedside manner. All the tips and tricks they recommend really do work! If you are looking for kind, open minded, knowledgeable, and passionate doulas, look no further!

    Dr. Kristina Bishop has been my saving grace. Typically fertility and OB/GYN are very separate…read more(which is very frustrating to patients since it would seem like all women's health issues should fall under the same umbrella). However, Dr. Bishop has been the first OB/GYN to truly listen and provide different recommendations for our fertility struggles over the last 4 years. She actually recommended us to a new fertility clinic to begin IVF in which we were able to get pregnant for the second time. Unfortunately the pregnancy ended in a second miscarriage which was discovered in office with Dr. Bishop at 10 weeks. Her caring bedside manner was so impactful as my husband and I were going through such a horrible situation, and it's been SO different and refreshing compared to my first miscarriage experience with my old practice (Century Medical Associates-- highly do NOT recommend). I have recommended Seasons to ALL of my friends because the care is top notch and the all-women practice makes you feel at home, even when you may be going through a difficult situation. The fact these providers actually spend the time to listen to you AND provide sound recommendations is what makes them stand above the rest!

I felt completely comfortable and at ease having her there which is so important when inviting another person to be present at your birth. The pictures she took were absolutely incredible.

From beginning to end, she was helpful, thoughtful, unassuming, knowledgable and professional. Our prenatal meetings were great opportunities to set the tone for our birth, helping us to identify our needs and intentions as a couple while also building rapport. Her attendance at our son's birth was incredibly helpful for both me and my husband. She offered support, guidance and calm and consistent energy when needed. She was never intrusive, always knowing when to step in with words of encouragement and when to be a calm support, letting my husband and I work together through the process. As a sweet bonus, she took some *wonderful* photos as we shared our first moments as a family of three - images we will cherish for years and will someday show our son as we tell him his story. We would hire Erica again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services!
