5 Stars -- Truly the Best Birthing Experience!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bella Births and my amazing midwife, Kathleen, along with Autumn and the entire team! I first discovered Bella Births back in 2016 through a family friend while expecting my first child. I gave birth to my first son in 2017, and it was the most empowering, beautiful experience I could have imagined. The level of care, attention, and support I received was simply unmatched. When I found out I was expecting again in 2024, there was absolutely no hesitation in my mind -- I knew Kathleen was the only practitioner I wanted by my side. We welcomed our second son in 2025, and this experience somehow managed to surpass even my already high expectations. Kathleen and the team made me feel safe, heard, and supported every step of the way. If you're looking for an empowering, beautiful, holistic, and truly 5-star birth experience, look no further than Bella Births. They are exceptional in every way, and I am forever grateful for the love and care they've given to my family. With love, Anaí G

The physician assistant that took care of me was very sweet and kind. Every single person I was in contact with at this place made me feel comfortable. The facility is clean, their restrooms were well stocked.

They have an advocate person come and talk with you to see if you need resources of any kind and to offer help. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone going through pregnancy.

I looked up reviews on OBGYNs and saw some great review about Dr. Gingrich. I went for a well woman's visit and pap smear. She was super nice and gentle when asking sensitive questions. I don't normally feel comfortable with a doctor on the first visit but she was so kind. She walked me through all the steps of my first pap smear. When results came in she texted me from her personal phone to ensure I had them. Her office staff is super kind and friendly. After my pap smear Dr. Gingrich and I talked about family planning. She said because of my age and the fact that my husband and I had been trying she would refer me to Dallas IVF. She heard and saw me for the first time in my OBGYN doctor history. I was a little nervous because I am an African American woman and sometimes I feel not every doctor understands specific needs. Dr. Gingrich hears me and offered me solutions that I feel comfortable with immediately. Due to her listening nature she is the reason that I was finally diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. Dallas IVF did an HSG and Dr. Havemann made the formal diagnosis but because Dr. Gingrich was able to listen to understand she unlocked a new level of my life. For the first time in 20 years I am able to live a normal life even when my cycle hits monthly. I now go back yearly for my well women's visit and Pap smear. The amazing thing is I feel like more than a number, but a patient that she care about. She remembers details about my life and always has great advice.

I am used to being rushed in and out of a room while trying to hit all my key points before the dr. Leaves. The time and compassion that dr. Gingrich gave us while we were going through a large event in our lives was unmatched. When you can tell you are being listened to, it really matters. Every time we saw her, she was very thorough, and answered all questions and concerns that we had.

The first one was pretty cut and dried and I didn't really fall in love with her that much. The most recent one was just a week ago. I had elected to have a open procedure sooner rather than a laparoscopic approach later. She nailed the diagnosis, got me scheduled very shortly after I told her I had had enough of the pain, and provided all the pre-op coaching I needed. I did fall in love when I had to call her at 1045 in severe pain the first night I was home because I had overdone it! She knew right what to suggest to solve the problem and was fully compassionate even though I am sure I woke her up! Her office staff is efficient and effective and very warm. I never feel ignored or like I am just an obstacle to the end of their day. Wonderful MD practice.

Even when she had just given birth herself, I was able to message her any time and ask questions and she would be there to help me out. Being pregnant for the first time was scary, so many questions, so many signs and symptoms and not knowing which ones are concerning or not.

I really love that she only takes 2 clients per month as it was a fear of mine to have a backup doula sent to my labor and delivery. I am so thankful that she worked with my husband and I for a payment plan. Without that, I wouldn't have been able to have a doula for my birth. She was such a dream to work with and offered such wonderful prenatal and postpartum support. She also comes up with a cool birth plan to hang in your room and a lot of the nurses commented how they had never seen anything like it before and how nice it was to have. Thank you Jessica for nurturing me during this important time in my life! Highly recommend.

My wife and I met Olivia when we were searching for a doula to help with the birth of our second…read morechild. We did not have a doula with our first child, so we were not really sure exactly what to look for, however Olivia provided us with some good resources and even recommended some other doulas for us to interview. However, after meeting and interviewing her once we knew she would be a great fit, and we are very glad we did! Our baby came unexpectedly early (our first child was 11 days late), and thankfully we were able to fit a quick refresher course in with Olivia the day before the baby was born. Before, during, and after labor Olivia was magnificent. She is rare in that she is both very productive and very calm and pleasant at the same time. She respected our wishes at all times while also providing appropriate and helpful advice and feedback when we needed it. We are so glad that she was with us, and recommend her very highly to anyone else considering her services!

This was our first birth and we weren't sure if we needed to hire a doula since we had been mentally prepping ourself since the beginning of pregnancy. After our initial meet up, we felt an immediate sense of comfort with Olivia and could picture her on delivery day. We booked her that evening and we are so grateful to have her help us achieve the birth that we envisioned. She provided us peace in the unknown territory and guided us with her wisdom and knowledge. She met us a couple of times in our home (despite the long distance) to help us prepare for labor and delivery. Don't think twice about having Olivia with you on one of the most important day of your life. We are so happy with how ours went that we will have her with us again for our next baby.
