While he…read moredid a good job with the delivery of my son, I have never met a medical provider with worse bedside manner. He is truly one of the rudest people I have ever met and I cried in the car out of frustration after every single prenatal appointment I had (and for anyone who has ever been pregnant you know there are a lot of them). He was rude about my weight gain (literally saying, and I quote, "wow you are really packing on the pounds, aren't you?"), dismissed all of my questions, interrupted me mid-question to answer the questions he thought I was asking (spoiler: it wasn't what I was asking) and I had to learn to advocate for myself more than anyone should have to do with their medical provider. He was rude to his office staff and one time came into my appointment and said, "These people are driving me crazy." He also told me none of the other doctors in his network were anywhere near as good of doctors as he is, but that they would "get the job done" if I happened to go into labor when he wasn't on call. However, I suppose it was lucky that he was on call when I went into labor because the Clovis Community Hospital staff were negligent and I almost didn't get my epidural in time due to nobody checking on me for literal hours while I waited in triage. So luckily Dr Dan used his pompous rudeness for good to be completely unkind to the hospital staff so that something was actually accomplished. We moved out of the state two months after my son was born and the sub-standard care we received both by Dr Dan and the hospital were the last straw for getting us out of the state. It is mind blowing that such a rude human being is not only a practicing PREGNANT LADY doctor, but that he is the only one recommended in the entire county. So I suppose that if you have to give birth in Fresno go with this guy, but just know that he is rude, disrespectful and in a lot of ways just truly the worst.

    LaMonica is the best in the business, hands down!…read more I'm an overprotective and overly-critical perfectionist, and this was our first non-hospital birth experience. So finding the right midwife to trust with the birth of our child was going to be a challenge any way you look at it. After interviewing multiple midwives, it was not a difficult decision to choose LaMonica. She has a profound amount of knowledge and experience (vastly more than anyone else we spoke with) and has dealt with just about every kind of situation a delivering couple can experience. LaMonica is caring and pleasant and really makes the whole experience very comfortable and relaxed. We very quickly felt as though we were in the capable hands of a good friend who also happened to be a qualified professional! She did an amazing job with the prenatal care, delivery, and post-natal care, knowing when to give us space and when to step in and guide us. I could not have hoped for a better experience! We are so grateful and thrilled to have connected with such a wonderful person! If more children are in our future, we will not go to anyone else but LaMonica!

    LaMonica is one of the most beautiful midwives I have ever come across. Her devotion to her work is…read moreinspirational. She deeply cares for her mothers and their children. She does so much for her local community. My first interaction with LaMonica was at my second daughter's birth with LaMonica being an on call midwife. I had never met her before, but she was so wonderful to be around and brought such a peaceful presence during my birth. The birth center I had worked through in Spokane randomly decided to close during my postpartum care. The center decided to break their deal selling the office to two other beloved midwives of mine. I had no one scheduled to attend my visits, but LaMonica out of the goodness of her heart came to do my house visits not even getting paid! When I had asked her if the center was paying her, her response moved me deeply, "I don't do midwifery for the money, I do it for the moms." This spoke such volumes to me. My postpartum visits with LaMonica were such golden nuggets. She brought me so much joy and love. You see, LaMonica truly cares about her mothers not only their physical health, but mental and emotional health. Not many providers do this. I am now using LaMonica as my primary midwife for my third baby this month, and it has been the best decision my husband and I have done. Not only does she have such a beautiful birth center in Post Falls, but my appointments are so family friendly. My 2 and 1 year old daughters adore going to Miss LaMonica's to see their baby sister and play with her toys. LaMonica is also a huge advocate for medical freedom and ensuring her clients are making informed decisions with their health. If you want an amazing midwife hire LaMonica. She will advocate fiercely for you, share the joy in birth, and provide a golden level of intentional care for your prenatal and postpartum care. We have so many friends now who also adore this beautiful midwife.

    When my partner and I discovered I was with child, our hope was to have our daughter enter this…read moreworld with as much love, comfort, and ease, as possible. We decided we wanted a home birth and in particular a water birth. We met with seven midwives, in order to find the best match for us. All of them fabulous, but as soon as Serena placed her hands on the growing baby within my belly, I knew she would be the perfect person to guide our precious little one on her sacred journey. The sense of peace I felt through her hands grounded me and transmitted confidence and unconditional love. The prenatal care we received from her was exceptional. The personal attention she gave us through the whole process was priceless. While I was in labor, she knew how much contact I needed and gave me the right amount of patience and encouragement. Our daughter was born on our deck in water as the Fir and Bay trees danced and the crows cheered us on. It was truly magical to have the sunshine kissing my naked body and filling me with strength as the wind gently caressed the sweat from my face. Our birth experience was a thing of beauty, as we had hoped, but the unexpected happened and I was unable to deliver my placenta. After a gargantuan effort to manually retrieve it, we understood that I would need to be transported to a hospital. The quick and steady manner in which she and our assistant midwife, Sheila Vanderveer handled the emergency was inspirational. Serena never left my side until it was time for me to go into surgery. Both she and Sheila remained with me for many hours after my surgery until it was clear that I was in a good place to let them go. Serena visited me everyday at my home until she felt I was strong enough for her to decrease the frequency of her visits. I will never forget the compassionate care I received before, during, and after the arrival of our greatest joy.

    Our birth story was a bit unconventional in the sense that we had actually decided to go with…read moreanother mid-wife prior to working with Serena. Without going into tremendous depth in our situation, we had selected a mid-wife that told us she would honor our decision of a hospital birth or home birth after learning the pro's and con's of each. After seeing her and discussing this for several months, we decided at the 7.5 month mark that we wanted to pursue a home birth. We felt incredibly empowered by our decision, and were excited to plan all of the details around it with her. All of our excitement was immediately taken away from us when we told our previous mid-wife of our decision, when she said that she could no longer assist us in a home birth and wished us luck. Obviously we were devastated with a feeling of being very lost and betrayed at this stage of my wife's pregnancy. This is when we were introduced to Serena Russell. When we told her of our circumstances, she was not only appalled in the way we were treated, but also extremely empathetic to our situation and held my wife and I in a way that was very genuine and helpful for us. Serena wasn't trying to sell us on anything, but merely showed genuine interest in helping us given such a dramatic turn of events. After meeting her and discussing our options, my wife and I decided to stop working with our former mid-wife and change care to Serena. While it was a pretty easy decision to make based on Serena's energy and approach to our care, it was still a rather big decision for us given the stage of pregnancy my wife was in. That said, once we weighed our options it was an easy decision and we're so happy with the one we made. Serena did everything imaginable to assist us with the transition, and held my wife and I in all of the right ways during a potentially turbulent time. During the birth itself, Serena and her assistant Collette were rock stars. They were able to work with us in numerous stages, and really empowered my wife and I through the process which was very helpful to say the least. In addition, towards the very end of the birth - our baby's shoulders became stuck in the birth canal. Because this was our first child, we didn't really understand what this meant, or how this could complicate things. Without creating any panic, they worked with Brie and our baby to eliminate any risks and ensure a safe and healthy birth for our baby and my wife. I should also note that my wife and I took two different birth classes leading up to our daughters birth. When we had our reunions afterwards, each family went around and told their birth story. We were surprised by how many of them had difficulties with their doctors, their midwives or hospitals. In a way we almost felt bad telling our story because it was so perfect in pretty much every way, and in contrast it was the story that every family wanted to experience and share. Not only were we able to have a natural home birth with next to no complications, but we were also able to receive amazing home care after the fact from Serena and Collette which was icing on the cake. Without any reservations whatsoever, my wife and I highly recommend Serena Russel as a mid wife. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and can say without a doubt that you will be in knowledgeable, caring and supportive hands with her in a similar position for you.
