However, I did encounter one very rude phlebotomist (the heavy-set Caucasian woman who worked in the small office near the bathrooms). Every single time she took my labs. Don't work in healthcare if you have a negative attitude. What truly broke my trust was what happened with my sister, who I referred here because I believed she would be well cared for. She suffered a miscarriage, and instead of providing compassionate and thorough care, the office repeatedly gave her medication to pass the pregnancy without success. Her concerns and fears were consistently dismissed with reassurances that "everything would be fine." Shockingly, they never performed an ultrasound to confirm that the pregnancy tissue had passed. This went on for months. Ultimately, my sister ended up in the ER, where it was discovered that there was still retained tissue, and that the baby had been inside her for three months. I am horrified that her life was put at such serious risk of infection and complications due to the negligence of this office. To make matters worse, one of the doctors even told my sister that "ultrasounds were too expensive" when she asked for confirmation that the tissue was gone. Because she is non- confrontational, she didn't push back, but the ER nurses were shocked at how poorly this situation was handled. The ER reviewed her medical notes and confirmed how severely she had been neglected. My sister ended up having to get a D&C at the ER where they pulled out A LOT of tissue. I am disappointed. For that reason, I will not be coming back. If I were ever to experience a complicated pregnancy or miscarriage, I know this office would not take my concerns seriously or provide the care needed. It is truly unfortunate, but I can no longer trust this place, and now I have to find care elsewhere.

After several traumatic hospital births- I was determined to have a better experience when we found…read moreout we were expecting a new baby - I love how cared for I have felt from day one of care at the birth nest. I was still anxious about the delivery part leading up to that moment. I cannot imagine the delivery experience (aside from a difficultly positioned baby) would have been handled better anywhere else. I was encouraged and supported in every moment. It was by far the most strenuous labor and delivery experience I have had. I am beyond grateful for how things worked out and how I and my entire family have been cared for by this team. I would recommended the birth nest a million times over for those seeking a more grounded and holistic birth experience.

We are so grateful for Connie, Erin and the canyon midwifery team! When we first found out we were…read morepregnant we weren't sure which route we were going to take - home birth, birth center or hospital, however we really wanted to use a midwife either way in hopes of keeping our birth as natural as possible. We first met with Connie and she was amazing at explaining their midwifery model, and how they do prenatal care, birth and postpartum care. Throughout the remainder of our pregnancy we got to know both her and Erin better - the love and care they have for all their mammas blew us away! We love how they offered a birth class, during glucose testing they held another "class" walking us through the many options & resources we had regarding birth & caring for our babies. We also love how their team has an in office lactation consultant who met with us before baby even came & gave so much great insight regarding setting up my breastfeeding journey for success. Best of all, it's such a family practice and we were told countless times that our baby was loved and prayed for! :) When it came time for labor, my water broke - Erin was quick to get us in to check, confirm it was my water and walk us through some natural ways to induce labor. The next day we ended up back at the birth center where I was able to labor with free movement, the option to eat/drink, and with Erin there available to help coach my husband & I through different ways to work through contractions & progress labor. After laboring all day, my body wasn't going past 7cm so we had the conversation about options for transferring to a hospital to get induced. At this point, Connie had taken over and was AMAZING at walking us through our options and allowing us to make the call to transfer. Once we decided that would be best for us, she contacted our preferred hospital, and got all of our records over to them. We ended up giving birth to our beautiful baby boy in the hospital a few hours later. Despite our transfer, Connie still stayed completely available for us for any questions that came up. There was never a moment where we felt Connie & Erin didn't have our best interest in mind. They cared so well for us, and we are so grateful to have had our prenatal care, a good amount of labor time, and my postpartum care with them! Although it wasn't the birth we originally imagined, it all worked out so perfectly and we felt SO much peace through it all thanks to Canyon Midwifery!

Birth from 2022…read more.. Connie and Erin are the most caring, thoughtful, professional, and respectful midwives! I was only able to have one of my four births with Canyon Midwifery because of moving in and out of state but I would have used them with all my babies if I could have. I had the most peaceful, beautiful water birth at home and I felt loved and supported while never pushed or coerced. Being able to communicate easily was a priority to me and it was so lovely to get ahold of Connie and Erin easily. I also received wonderful lactation support while postpartum. The whole team at Canyon Midwifery is so passionate, and compassionate, and it shows in their care. I especially appreciated their resources for scripture during labor and delivery.

I hired Michelle as my birth doula through Modern Mama and overall had mixed feelings about the…read moreexperience. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and I am thankful for the role she played in my birth. During transition and pushing, she offered guidance and support that was helpful in those intense final hours. I do believe she understands birth well and brings expertise to the room. That said, there were a few things that did not sit right with me. At multiple points during contractions, when I looked up, she was visibly on Facebook and Instagram. I understand that long labors can involve downtime, but she was only physically present at the hospital for a few hours during transition and pushing. Given the relatively short window of in person support, it felt disappointing and inappropriate that she was on social media during that time. It made me feel like she was not fully present in such a vulnerable moment. There were also moments where her reactions felt disproportionate, such as when the toilet water unexpectedly splashed up. Her response heightened the situation rather than helping me feel grounded and calm. In addition, I found the overall value of the package to be underwhelming compared to other doulas I interviewed. Many offered formal childbirth classes (which were extra through MM) and ongoing support groups as part of their services, whereas Modern Mama primarily offered monthly mini classes on rotating topics, which did not always feel directly relevant or comprehensive. For the investment, I had expected more structured education and support. Though I was appreciative of the nice photos that were included. I am grateful for her knowledge and the role she played in helping bring my baby into the world, but I do wish the level of presence, professionalism, and overall value had been stronger throughout the experience. I likely won't hire Modern Mama again although I don't have experience with the other doulas.

As first time parents, we found that we didn't have a true understanding of what was best to do once we brought our little guy home from the hospital. Sure - we had read a lot and had additional support to help us get ready, but with Modern Mama, we found a professional who specializes in exactly what we needed - "what does good look like?" / "what should we be doing?" / "what are we doing right/ wrong?" From the moment that Kristin walked into our door, we were met with a calm and welcoming presence that shared recommendations for getting to sleep, eat, and dressed appropriately. She shared with us what most parents do and what is truly a choice for us. What's more, she was an incredible support for my wife who was breastfeeding for the first time, encouraging her and helping her to establish appropriate techniques and set her up with pumping appropriately, which would have taken us weeks without the support. Lastly, Kristin also followed up with us multiple times after the nights that she had stayed, seeing how we were doing and following up with great resources tied to the questions that we had + other professionals that could help with some of the areas that we were looking to develop. We'd highly recommend the support from Modern Mama and specifically Kristin as a doula for and first time parents - I truly believe they were a primary reason for us to start off on the right foot at home. (For reference, we had the 3 night package for the first couple of nights at home)

So, about 10 weeks before I was due I started the search for another doula and came across both Lora, and Chelsea, individually. I contacted them and they let me know they had recently teamed up and were available. We had a zoom call with them and my husband and I decided to book them for our August birth. Chelsea & Lora came for a home visit in June, so we could meet them and discuss initial ideas about my labor/birth/etc. They both brought their individual strengths and so much knowledge. They then came back a few weeks before I was due to discuss plans for when i went into labor, comfort measures, etc. They were both there any other time my husband and I had a question throughout the whole process as well. I had a long, long (44 hour) labor and we (mainly my husband) were in contact with Chelsea/Lora the entire time. About 22 hours in, once the pain had gotten pretty bad, Lora came to our house at 8pm. She quietly supported us and helped get through the contractions. At midnight, Chelsea swapped in so Lora could get some rest. Chelsea encouraged me to keep moving and try different things to help progress labor. When we thought it was time to go to the birth center, Chelsea came with us. When I finally ended up being admitted, Lora was the doula who ultimately joined us at the birth center- and spent over 12 hours there with us. I had mentioned during one of our previous meetings that I would love it if the doula who was present could snap some pictures during the day of labor/birth- I wasn't looking for anything too fancy or professional but just wanted some iphone pics. Lora went above and beyond, using her own camera to take lots of pictures and a video of the birth- which we haven't seen yet but are so excited for! Both Lora & Chelsea truly went above and beyond, and are a perfect complementary team. They came for a 2 week postpartum visit and it felt like having friends over to meet the baby- we cannot recommend them and their services enough & will definitely be using them for baby 2!

I went to my appointment at 40 weeks, and we decided to schedule another appointment for the following week to discuss the option of induction if the baby did not come. When the baby didn't arrive, I went for my appointment, but the receptionist informed me that Dr. Brotsky had gone on vacation and wouldn't return for a week. I understand that people have lives, but this information hadn't been communicated to me, and I was 41 weeks pregnant. I felt abandoned. I wanted to speak with a nurse practitioner at least to ensure the baby's safety, but they told me I didn't need to talk to anyone and instructed me to call the hospital in three days to schedule an induction. I experienced a lot of anxiety waiting for the baby and having no backup plan. Three days later, the hospital called me and asked me to come in within 40 minutes because apparently, Dr. Brotsky had scheduled an induction for me, but no one had informed me. We rushed to the hospital. Dr. Brotsky returned for the birth even though I had been told she was gone for a week. After practicing pushing with her a few times, she left me with the nurse. I had an epidural so I was not feeling contractions and the monitor was not working and not reading them. I was pushing but not making progress. When I asked Dr. Brotsky to come back, she responded with, "How can I help you?" when I was so vulnerable and needed guidance and support. Once she arrived, my baby was born in 20 minutes. So she could have helped by simply doing her job!!! I am grateful that both my baby and I are healthy, but I couldn't have the birth I had envisioned because of poor communication and planning. I don't recommend Dr. Brotsky. While she seems to care, it feels insincere, and in reality, she does not seem to prioritize her patients' needs.

I have been a patient at this facility since Spring 2025 when I found out I was pregnant in April…read more While my initial experiences with AZ Maternity were positive, I am extremely disappointed and unsatisfied with my care here as of the last month, specifically from Dr. Brar and Dr. Mosely. I am entering my 37th week of this pregnancy, and decided to end my care and switch providers. Being this far along, that says something in of itself about my experiences here. To be specific, some of the headaches I have encountered over the past few weeks include: 1) consistently waiting 30-45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen, even though I arrived on time 2) last-minute cancellations of my appointments due to the doctors becoming unavailable, sometimes literally 5-10 minutes prior to my scheduled slot time 3) scheduling my appointment for the wrong city/location, 4) Dr. Brar addressing me by someone else's name, even though I had met with her on multiple occasions, etc. Not once were any of these issues acknowledged or apologized for. The final straw for me occurred earlier this week. I arrived for my 9:30 am appointment early, and was told by the front desk that my doctor (Dr. Mosely) was running behind due to a delivery and she's the only person on-call. I completely understood the circumstance, and patiently waited for her to come in. I was not escorted into the exam room until close to 10:15. I was asked by the nurse assistant to undress for my Group B test swab, which I did. I sat in the room, alone and undressed, for another 15-20 minutes until Dr. Mosely arrived. She took two steps into my room, when her phone rang. She turned to me and says "I have to take this, it might be the hospital for another delivery". She didn't even greet me, and immediately backs out of the room. A few minutes later, she comes back in and says, and I quote: "So, can you make this visit quick or can I head out? I need to go deliver this baby" in the most dismissive tone. I was stunned. Maybe it was a combination of pregnancy hormones, exhaustion, frustration, I'm not sure - but I burst out in tears. She looked at me in a way like I was an annoyance. She said, "I can go take care of this, then you can come back later or something". Through tears, I said I had been here for over an hour, I also had my toddler with me who was getting agitated as well, and I wasn't sure if I could manage. I was also in a lot of physical discomfort at that point and just wanted to talk to someone about my options. She looked at me again like I was burdening her. Then, she just left the room without saying anything else to me! From the hallway, I could hear her talking to the receptionist about me, and she said something insanely cold. She said, "I have to go to the hospital. Can someone come in and talk to this lady?". This lady? Really? Like I was a robot. Like I wasn't 2 feet away from her. Like my care didn't matter. I was in disbelief. I felt like a piece of trash, just completely ignored and dismissed. Through my tears, I packed up all of my things, got dressed, and walked out of the room. I saw the receptionist, and asked if Dr. Mosely was still here. She said no, she already left the building. At that point, I just left the office. I was so hurt and just done. Later that day, someone at the front desk called me to try and get me to come back in, and I straight up said that I'm terminating my care with this office. My husband also sent a complaint to the office staff's email inbox that evening, and we still have not heard back concerning this incident. Please, seriously reconsider your sanity before visiting this facility. The doctors here do not care about their patients or their time, or have much of any bedside manners. It's obvious that they are overwhelmed with the number of patients, and as such, lack the power to provide decent care to everyone on their docket. Respectful and professional service in the medical field is not an option, but the staff at this office seem to think it is. So, long story short - if you want a team of doctors who don't value your time, care (or at least pretend to care) about your well-being, and talk about/to you like you're just a number without feelings, please come visit Arizona Maternity & Women's Clinic.
