Midwife review If I…read morecould give Katie and her team 20 stars I would! Everyone woman should be made to feel empowered and cherished during child birth. It is easy in today's birth world to feel like childbirth is being done to you rather than feeling like an active participant, but at Hillside midwifery everything is explained to you clearly and openly and you decide what's best for you every step of the way. I just delivered my 4th baby with Hillside and had the most wonderful experience. When giving advice to first time moms picking a midwife I always say pick someone you feel like you'd be friends with because you're going to spend so much time together. Well Katie became more than a friend she became like family. That 6 week appointment after you give birth will be the hardest because you have to say goodbye to someone that you've grown to adore. I seriously cannot recommend Hillside enough. They will make you feel loved and cherished and like a birthing goddess.

I saw Kristi Rhodes and she was actually great, however the scheduling is awful. I had 4…read moreappointments and EVERY SINGLE ONE was rescheduled. I live 40 min away and when I get a call the evening before an appt they have to move my appointment, it's very hard to move it due to my schedule. The excuse everytime was that they "double booked" the provider. It's not hard to not double book one provider, and when i asked the question (the 3rd time my appts got rescheduled) "why does the other patient's appointment take presidents over mine every time and I'm the one always getting rescheduled" and of course they had no answer except they double booked the provider. When they called me to tell me my 4th appt there was moved from 8am to 11:30 that was the last straw, I can't just move my appt 3 1/2 hours later when I myself have a full schedule. So here I am 18 weeks pregnant and looking for an OBGYN who will take my time just as serious as they take their own. I'm never late for my appts, and I understand this issue happening a time or even 2 times. But I'm 4 for 4 on appointments and fed up.

Glen is amazing!! He delivered my oldest and my youngest. My middle one was born in California. He…read moreis kind, respectful, funny, always has a smile. He knows what he's doing and he does his job amazingly. He's a great person and a great doctor. I don't trust easily, but not only do I trust him I also have the upmost respect for him. He's such a great doctor that even my mom became a patient of his after my oldest was born. I can't say enough great things about him. If you want a great doctor who knows his field, who you feel relaxed and comfortable with, who can absolutely trust your health with and that if your child's, then Glen is the the doctor you need. His staff is also amazing! I've not lived in Idaho for many years now so I'm not sure who is still with him as staff. However, when I was there every single person on his staff was also kind and compassionate and friendly. There's nothing I can say that isn't good about him and his staff. Thank you Glen for helping me bring two of my three into this world. Even with the couple of scary moments on my end. You helped get me through it and got them here and they were born healthy and safe. Now they're all grown and married and getting ready to start their families. Thank you for your part in making that possible for my family!

When I first found out I was pregnant I knew that I wanted to be under the care of a midwife. I was…read morereferred to TVM by planned parenthood. I was going to check out two places before deciding where I was going to receive care. I remember my first meeting with Sophie very clearly. She was so warm and welcoming and not to mention knowledgeable I decided that this was the place for me. It just felt right from the very beginning. Everyone there is truly a joy to work with and there is so much care and attention to detail down to every aspect of this establishment. They even have the good hand sanitizer! I am five months postpartum and I look back at my experience with TVM fondly. They really care about the people they work with and make the process as easy as possible while providing knowledge and reassurance whenever possible. Bri, Ashley, and the student Jenna were the most cohesive team I could have asked for during delivery. I had Sierra come by and check me 12 ish hours in and she was a pleasure to work with as well! During the final part of my delivery I felt soothed by the presence of the three and was able to completely relax into the process. Afterwards they were fast acting and reliably took care of the tearing I experienced. During my care following the birth Bri was super attentive and helped me as I learned how to navigate this new world I was in while also trying to heal my body from the birth itself. Jenna was able to encapsulate my placenta for me after I expressed concern that my original plan was falling through. She was professional and even created some art that we were able to keep as a keepsake! This really helped me with the fluctuating hormones (I was scared of Postpartum depression) and I ended up integrating a lot easier than I feel I would have without. All in all this was a beautiful and unique experience. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. I believe that TVM set me up for success and helped awaken the innate part of me that knows I CAN DO THIS! Becoming a mother has been the most empowering yet challenging thing I have ever done and I am so thankful for the team at TVM for making it wonderful for us. I can not recommend them enough!

When my husband and I arrived at the birth center, I was having regular contractions (4-1-1). I…read morelabored for a few hours, and then I thought my water may have broken. Tawnia came in and confirmed that it was time to push, without conducting any checks. She had me push for five hours. I mentioned that I was in a lot of pain and felt like nothing was progressing. She kept telling me to push. I was finally so exhausted that I told my husband I wanted to go to the hospital. Then, another midwife came in and suggested she could perform a check to see where we were. She advised me not to continue pushing. Surprisingly, my water wasn't broken, and I wasn't even fully dilated. They then informed my husband that our son might have a neck injury due to all the trauma. My husband drove us to the hospital, and after being there for about two hours, I was finally ready to push. When he was born, he was unresponsive at first and had breathing issues. I believe this was due to the hours of trauma he went through. I also ended up tearing very badly, which I think was a result of the hours of active pushing when I shouldn't have been. They were completely incompetent. They didn't take any responsibility or even bother reaching out to us after the whole incident. The owner, Laurie, was avoidant and unhelpful. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

I've been going here and seeing Dr. Heidi Chasan for about 10 years now. Not only she is a…read moreknowledgeable Doctor, but also a great listener who values your opinion. She delivered my two children under two quite different situations. With one, I ended up with epidural, and with the other, I did all natural without any medication. She is very open and accommodating with your plans and decisions, but also informs you with what you need to be aware of. I've heard of some scenarios where doctors try to lead you towards getting unnecessary procedures done to make things go faster for their own sakes, but in both deliveries, I couldn't have asked for a better doctor who supported me and respected my decision the way she did. Overall experience at the Woman's Clinic has been great. The other staff including the nurses seem very friendly and efficient as possible. I did have couple of instances where I had to reschedule after I got there because of some emergency delivery my doctor had to attend to, but I would say this was understandable. Some things are not foreseeable. And as a patient, if I needed an emergency attention, I would appreciate my doctor's quick response and other understanding patients very much.

There are almost no words to describe how grateful we are to have had Heather as our doula for the…read morebirth of our first child. Everyone should have a doula as a part of their birth experience, and if they can, it should be Heather! We began working with Heather several months before our delivery. From our very first introductory call, she was engaged, informative, and just so unbelievably helpful. Not only does she provide a series of online classes, but you also get to attend her in-person workshop and meet with her 1:1 prior to the big day. Without Heather, we would have had so many questions and unknowns leading up to labor and delivery... instead, she prepared us for just about everything (understanding contractions, labor positions, when to get to the hospital, etc.). Our little girl was stubborn and we ended up getting induced. Heather helped us to stick to our plan of having a baby without an epidural or heavy pain meds. She coached us through every step of the way and provided the stability and encouragement we needed to keep going. Not only was she so critically helpful to me (the mama), but she provided the calm, cool, collected game plan that also helped my husband. She is also just an amazing advocate who can help interpret medical jargon and help you make informed decisions according to your birth plan. To top it all off, she took absolutely beautiful birth photos and came to our house to check in after we were settled at home. All in all, we would have felt so lost and alone trying to make it through labor without Heather. At this point we are telling everyone who will listen... YOU NEED HEATHER AS YOUR DOULA!!!!!
