They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

When you hear you are being sent to a 'specialist' you worry! My nerves were completely calmed once I had my ultrasound here with the ultrasound tech and Dr. Jadali. His staff is so nice and professional. He had a great bedside manner, said ' there is nothing wrong with this baby's head' and helped me get my gestational diabetes blood sugar numbers in order, so even though nothing was wrong with my baby's head I am so glad that I went here! He continued to see me until the week before I had my baby girl. Thank you, Dr and staff! You all are wonderful and I am so grateful.

I was forced by insurance to see Dr Jidali for my baby's anatomy exam…read more We were so excited and looking forward to this appointment for weeks despite the annoyance of having to drive to Ventura. Immediately I knew his bedside manner was lacking but the second he slapped the ultrasound on me he basically gasped exclaiming that I had an "enormous" fibroid and was shocked that my OB hadn't noticed it. He labeled me high risk, pushed for more genetic testing despite me telling him I already had it covered by insurance elsewhere and the worst part, he declared I would not make it past 24 weeks. We left devastated. Im grateful my OB was not an alarmist and after reviewing the scans she told me that the fibroid was in a place that posed no threat. I ended up changing course entirely and chose an incredible midwife, delivered at 32 weeks, at home with zero complications and have a perfectly healthy child. This man ruined a solid chunk of my pregnancy because of his high risk tunnel vision. Avoid at all costs.

My first birth was at her birthing center, & my second was at home. Both of these experiences were life changing for me. First, because they made me a mother. But second, because Karni helped me to realize what natural birth could be, & that I didn't have to be afraid of what my body could do. I feel blessed to have connected with her when I was pregnant with my first & didn't know what kind of birth I wanted - I just knew I didn't want what the western world has normalized for births, unless interventions became absolutely necessary. The first day I visited her birthing center, my mind had been made up & I knew I would give birth there. She told me to visit several midwives/birthing centers so I could make an informed decision but secretly I never did... best decision I've ever made. Me & my husband are forever grateful that she's our midwife & we look forward to birthing all of our future babies within her orb of power, however many we are blessed to have!

Sue's presence & availability even outside of appointments through text or calls was exceptional. I truly felt like she was always there if I needed her even if it was to answer a little question I had that came up during the week. During the labor & delivery process I had full trust in Sue and her decision-making. She consistently updated my family members who were waiting in another room, showing kindness and consideration for them as well as me. She knows her stuff and has amazing assessment & midwifery skills. I needed to be transferred to the hospital because of decelerations and Sue was there by our side for the hours and hours of labor. She has amazing rapport with the staff at VCMC. Her presence with us and the way she helped us understand & process the decisions we had to make in the hospital brought us peace & an acceptance of the process. For the 2 weeks postpartum until my follow-up appointment Sue checked in by text to let us know she was praying for us and asked how we were doing. We felt so loved and cared for by her thoughtfulness. I knew that I could reach out at anytime if anything came up. Much of the advice and encouragement she gave me along the way in pregnancy, labor and postpartum continues to come to mind in times of need and her words give me strength & perspective. At my follow-up appointment I really appreciated her un-rushed availability yet again to talk through the labor and any questions I had. She has become a friend through this process and we are so thankful for her and love her.

We toured the office and both decided before we even left we wanted Sue to be my midwife. I always felt so cared for each & every visit. I never felt like I was supposed to be doing better than I was, Sue always assured me I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing. Even when some issues arose as they do, Sue was always quick to handle things and again make me feel so cared for and that she was always on my team. My birth didn't even go remotely as planned as the baby had other ideas and once again Sue was there by my side. She was with me through my 17 hour labor, 5 hours of pushing and 2 hour c section. She was in the room when my son met his father for the first time and she was the second person to hold him - she sang him happy birthday . I would not have wanted anyone else to be my care provider, she spoke up to the staff at VCMC & constantly pushed for my birth plan even if at the end it didn't work out that way. But again Sue made me feel that all was ok and exactly how it needed to happen and that I did everything I could have. Sue we love you so much!

Dr. Steen and the entire team at Main Street OBGYN were exactly the kind of care team I needed throughout my pregnancy. Mine was a high risk pregnancy, and I was looking for not only excellent medical care but also a personal, supportive team I could trust. They exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire journey, I consistently felt heard, supported, validated, and respected. Dr. Steen was especially wonderful. She was kind, genuine, patient, and always took the time to listen to my concerns before reassuring me. She respected me as an individual and my decisions while providing the medical advice and guidance I needed. Having a doctor who could balance both was so important to me, especially while navigating such an emotional and intense experience. I truly couldn't have asked for a better team of doctors to have by my side. They made me feel safe, cared for, and confident throughout my pregnancy, and I'll always be grateful for that. A special shoutout to Dr. Hood as well for her kindness and support. Thank you, Dr. Steen and the entire Main Street OBGYN team, for being such an important part of our journey. I couldn't recommend you more!
