Fine, she made the appointment and waited her 6 weeks to see the Doctor I was raving about. She did, on her way out of the office (she had to take the afternoon off to see the doctor) she encountered an accident and called spoke to someone and told her who she was and appointment time, informed them of the incident and told them she would be late. She called twice after that just to make sure, each time telling them about the problem. Each time reassured that it would be OK. She arrived 1/2 hour late and the staff blew her off telling her they couldn't see her, and said she never called and she would have to make another appointment and come back another time. They didn't tell her this over the phone, and basically called her a liar. This is beyond unacceptable. The Doctor has lost 2 patients because of the staff. No matter how much I like a Doctor, staff that treats me and my family the way they have isn't worth it. See my last update for my full experience as well.

Oh the hassle with insurance companies they blow but I'm kind of glad that I switched otherwise I would not have gone here... The office smellsgood not doctor-like all the time if that maks any sense, and is very, VERY clean. I came early to fill out all the necessary new patient paper work, & I was greeted with all smiles and polite staff. The office is huge, and very comfortable. As soon as 9AM hit I was called in by the nurse & shown the room. Dr. Perez came in soon after & was very polite, smiles, a person very easy to talk to. I've met a couple of the other doctors as well & they are just the same... I could not have asked for a better place to go. I have made early appointments so I would not have to wait long to be called in but even my afternoon visits I am called in right when my appointments are actually scheduled. You know what I mean right? You make an appointment at 1pm, and you get called in at 115-130, then 145 hits and that is when you finally see the doctor. TOTALLY different here! 1PM is your appointment 1PM you are called in, 130PM you are out the door. Great nurses and doctors all the time - 5 stars all around!

I would highly recommend any new mom meet with her or another lactation consultant to ensure you're on the right path if you want to breastfeed your child.

She also leads free group meetings with new moms which have also been very helpful in my breastfeeding journey. I was able to exclusively breastfeed my daughter past a year and now at 23 days with my newborn and counting.

She delivered my daughter 12 years ago and after that, I made her both my primary OB and GYN. Long story short, I couldn't be happier. She also delivered my son 4 years ago. She is professional, sweet, extremely intelligent and very attentive. The best thing about her is that you never feel awkward or rushed. She takes her time to explain details and she never makes you feel uncomfortable. Her office and staff are well organized and the facility is modern and very clean. In my humble opinion, Dr. Lopez Beechem is one of the best choices in Miami for women. Love her!

Don't hesitate -- they are truly the best! I had the pleasure of having my first baby at a birth…read morecenter with Lilly and Anna, and it was already such an amazing experience. So when I was expecting baby #2 and they told me they were now doing home birth with Melanie and Sheily on their team, I immediately knew that's what I wanted. They are so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, caring, and fun. They really take the time to go over every question, worry, and option, and truly get to know you, connecting with you like family or friends. Their care is exceptional before birth, during birth, and postpartum. They even come to you for appointments, which is a huge plus--especially when you have other kids. My husband loved being involved and catching our baby at the birth center, but he was still concerned about living far from a hospital if something were to happen at home. We went through every possible risk with them, and thanks to their hospital experience, they've seen so much that they truly know the risks, solutions, and options. They made us feel safe and confident, encouraged us to trust our instincts, and always made sure we knew they had our backs. Once we had all the information, we knew home birth was the right choice for us--and we are so incredibly grateful we did it. Being able to text or call them anytime--whether you have concerns or aren't sure if it's real labor or just a false alarm--takes away so much stress. You can't control birth, but with them, you feel empowered--you're able to follow your instincts, move freely, and stay connected to the process. They work with you (your baby and partner) to guide you, support you, and take action if anything doesn't go smoothly. Knowing you're in such good hands makes you feel safe and protected, giving you the space to really stay connected to the process, and feel deeply empowered. And being at home makes everything so smooth and personal--your own space, your comfort, your shower/bath, your own warm birthing pool, surrounded by people you know. There's no stress of delivering in an uncomfortable car ride, no unnecessary interventions, no pressure of time. You can choose to have your other children with you if you wish. Did I mention the shower and the warm pool?! It feels sooooo good. Welcoming your baby this way and then staying together in your calm, cozy bubble, surrounded by warm water and peace, is so magical. I honestly believe my birth would not have been the same--or nearly as amazing--without them. They changed everything. Having them as your birth team gives you the best chance to experience the birth you dream of.

Let me tell you guys my story & how midwives of Miami saved my birth . When I found out I was…read morepregnant (37 years old) I knew I didn't want a hospital birth but I wanted to be at a facility that was near a hospital just in case. I called nearly every midwife and every location in Miami and around. I ended up going with magnolia even though it was far. But towards the end my husbands and my gut was telling us this wasn't the place. I still hadn't met the midwives that were going to attend my birth in that practice after being ther over 6 months! , just students etc. it just felt very disconnected and we decided to leave at around 7 months. (I wanted to feel secure in my decision of magnolia and I waited and waited but never did.) I ended up going the homebirth route after much thinking, found a midwife from a recommendation. (Won't mention her name because she apologized for what happened & returned my money). I debated in getting a doula until the last minute, which was Lili (from midwives of Miami), best decision i ever made. I followed my gut! My water broke 10 days before my due date. Lily was in my house in less than hour. I never felt alone w her. She asked me to also text my midwife and I did... but my midwife kept pressuring me about giving birth within 24hrs or she would have to hand me to a hospital.. which created more stress because my labor kept stalling. Well long story short, My midwife never showed up. So in the middle of my labor I no longer had anyone to help me in my birth. I was devastated, my labor completely stopped from the stress. Lily with me through the entire time, kept trying to give me hope and options... and tried to keep me calm. She said her best friend was a midwife and we could make it happen. But I didn't know Lily too much or anyone else. So I decided to take a leap of faith because I did not want an unwarranted hospital transfer. Lily came through brought Melanie, sheily and Ana. These women showed up for me last minute so I wouldn't be left alone. They left from work and came to my home to help me deliver this baby at home. With confidence!! Between them all they had so much experience in the medical field, specifically labor & delivery. (Years of experience). So I felt confident in their ability. But they trusted my ability to give birth to his baby more and I felt it! Melanie was an angel on earth, such calm. Her calm made me feel calm. I needed coaching towards the end and I followed, then my baby was out in no time!! They all acted so quick! In everything. Melanie sowed me back up, right there on my bed. Then I went straight to sleep after breastfeeding. They cleaned everything up. And I rested. I will be forever grateful for them all and for coming through in such short notice. These are the women you want on your side!! Because they TRULY love what they do! You can see& feel it. Now Lily offers postpartum care... I would jump on it all!! I wish that was an option back then. Couldn't have done it without Lily. My husband was there with me every second, but there's something about having a woman with experience there for you. My baby is about to turn a year old, and I can't wait to tell him about the angels God send my way. Love you girls so much. Thank you for the bottom of my heart I will never forget you. Ps I have to add this, Melanie never lied to me when i asked how much I have left or anything Which I appreciate! Also, they are very pro choice without judgement!! And Dr Ana now has her practice. Which is amazing, imagine not having to leave your home for that first newborn visit. She's also very pro choice.

This review is long overdue. Conceptions Florida isn't just…read morea fertility clinic, it's a village. From the moment you meet Dr Hernandez-Rey your faith will be restored. Going though the IVF process is one of the most emotionally, physically and financially draining events in ones life, so it's important to have people that are up to date with state-of-the-art equipment, knowledge, science and also heart. I started my IVF process at the Coral Gables location and dealt with the most patient nurses ever, Alex and Anay, I did also have brief but pleasant dealing with Maggie, Brittany and Ashley. Don't get me started on the embryologist Mike, he knows how to connect with you, explain your eggs once retrieved, and breaks down the most complex science into plain English. Dr.Hernandez-Rey is simply a godsend. Without him and his team I wouldn't have my daughter. Dr Hernandez-Rey was always open and honest with me, which is so important to manage expectations. He made me feel as if he were a family member working with me to achieve a goal. He is more than a doctor, he is a friend. All to say, if anyone is going to jump into the IVF or IUI world, go ahead and talk to the best team out there. Conceptions Florida is a miracle maker. PS I love their Miramar location! The major events you will still do in coral gables.

I changed to Dr. George Attia at UM who told me to get an ovulation kit and start trying any while he redid my tests. I got pregnant naturally, no intervention, within just a few months.

If you are…read moreconsidering this practice because you have heard great things about Dr Fink, know that more likely that not, you will never see him. My review on his practice: STILLBIRTH DELIVERY on 1.1.15 Longest and most heartfelt review I will write on yelp: From day 1, I never waned to see Dr Tumero, as a close friend of mine had a still birth in 2nd tri under her care. Said friend reviewed her file with head doctor (Fink), both came to the conclusion that closer monitoring and treatment could had made a difference. Fast forward and guess who I get stuck with? Yes, Dr. Tumero Details:I had a regular doctors visit on 12/31/14, during my ultrasound, tech noticed that heartbeat was slow, she quickly called Dr Simmel in and I was asked to head over to baptist for further monitoring. Upon arriving to baptist (5 minutes later, as building is right next door), my daughters heartbeat was detected by monitor used by nurse. Five minutes later, Dr Tumero (who was on duty at hospital) shows up and requests bed side u/s. U/s tech arrived within a couple of minutes and by then, my daughter was gone. Between time of my arrival, check in, blah blah blah, about 10 minutes passed. Though you maybe thinking, 10 minutes is not that long, it is when your child's life is at risk. Knowing what I know now (further testing detected that I have an autoimmune disease which often correlates with still births if left untreated) I understand that OTHER factors COULD have caused my daughters passing, however, we did not know (still don't) what "the cause" was when it was all going down,so my thoughts are: If Dr. Simmel called baptist to let them know that I was heading there with baby with slow heartbeat, why the delay in dr Tumero showing up? My daughter passed away at this hospital, all while we were present. Why was an emergency c- section not done if one minute there was heartbeat and not the next? so many questions. I know that nothing will ever bring her back, but I question the response time and how the situation was handled. ------- As if what I described above is not reason enough as to why to avoid this practice, here are additional mishaps that took place during pregnancy. I had a VERY healthy pregnancy, so my visits were short and to the point. However, there were many mishaps along the way, one of them being that a test which is done during 2nd trimester detecting abnormalities was overlooked. They apologized for that, and during that time I didn't think it was a big deal, but after having lost my child, I wish that every single test had been done. Aside from that, there was a lot of back and forth with medication prescribed (Diclegis for nausea and vomiting) the office sent prescription to my pharmacy for wrong amount (less pills) so I was having to go back for refills every couple of weeks, spending more money per bottler, wasting time and gas. It wasn't until the pharmacist asked me why I hadn't just ordered 100 pills to begin with vs 30 at a time, that we were able to correct the issue by calling obgyn and having them send correct prescription. U/s tech with long hair- this lady is one of the most unpleasant people I have ever met in the industry. I do not recall her name, but I saw her twice early in pregnancy and requested not to see her again. I tried both times to initiate small talk (commenting on her daughter's ballet pictures/ asking about her day) and got nothing. She always had a crappy face on, and was non responsive. Having an u/s done is both exciting and stressful, she did zero to make the experience more pleasant. Please stay away from this place if you are expecting, it is my only suggestion. During a doctor's career, there is no doubt that lives will be lost for x or y reason. I just REALLY feel that my daughter's life could have been spared, if things had been addressed promptly.

At $33 per class the manager should purchase new pink mats as I was forced to buy toe socks for "sanitary reasons". The mats were full of holes and stained and not cleaned between classes- big turnoff...*especially* for someone concerned with sanitary issues. ... The toe sock requirement should have been mentioned on mindbody (there are a number of opportunities on MB to do so) prior to booking or in the LONG text message I received with directions. I have never worn toe socks to pilates before...but like I said it is not really pilates.
