Peggy's help was life changing. If you're having any doubts, stop. Just give her a call. I was…read moreabout to give up on breastfeeding, but because of Peggy, I'm still breastfeeding 4 months later (happily and pain-free to a chubby baby). She helped us through a phone call, in person visit (pre-COVID), and video consult. My induced labor ended in an emergency C-section. On top of that, I was separated from my daughter because she had to go to the NICU. This complicated my ability to breastfeed even more. We are first time parents, and came home with little to no instruction from the hospital. I was not producing enough milk for my baby and she was crying of hunger. I was also severely engorged. It was a difficult first week home. Out of desperation, we searched online for a lactation consultant. After contacting 3 different people, Peggy was the most helpful over the phone. She took her time on the call and offered advice for my engorgement. We immediately felt her kindness, compassion, and empathy. I followed her instructions over the phone and was able to resolve the engorgement! Now onto breastfeeding... Although the engorgement went away, I still struggled with getting a good latch and scheduled to have Peggy come for an in home visit. Peggy was able to identify my baby's tongue and lip tie (even though the pediatrician at the hospital said my daughter didn't have either). Once we got her lip and tongue tie removed and followed all her breastfeeding advice, my baby started gaining a LOT of weight. A few weeks after the home visit, I was still having some difficulty getting a consistently good latch and I would feel pain when breastfeeding. Due to COVID-19, we did a video consult instead of an in-home visit. Peggy was able to help me manipulate baby and myself in a better position to help with the pain. She would help me visualize the proper way to position myself and baby by demonstrating her props and baby doll. It was awesome to get help in the comfort and safety of my home! I know it sounds impossible or not nearly helpful enough, but a video consult can work perfectly fine during these difficult COVID times. It is definitely better to get help in a safe way than to go through this journey alone. I would recommend Peggy over and over again. She truly cares about her clients. She follows up and provides plenty of information to make sure you have the information to keep you and your baby happy and healthy.

This review is long overdue. Peggy is a lifesaver…read more After giving birth to a 9lb baby I was determined to breastfeed. Upon coming home from the hospital, we noticed that our baby didn't pee as much. And when he did it was accompanied with orange/rust crystals on his diaper - a sure sign of dehydration. That's when we started to panic. I thought my son was getting enough milk because I was bfd'ing on cue. At this point, my nipples were raw and I was hurting a lot. My baby was born Tuesday, I look at Lactation Consultants on Yelp and found Peggy. I call her on Friday and she was at my doorstep on Sunday. Peggy introduced us to the world of tongue ties. My son had a lip and tongue tie that was hindering him from latching properly. Peggy endorsed the services of Dr. Yazdi and the next Tuesday, my son underwent a frenectomy. Problem solved. Peggy did a follow up visit, she answered all of our questions and she definitely helped me out a lot when it came to engorgement and plugged duct issues. She went above and beyond my expectations. She is the best!

A few different people recommend the women's medical associates to me, so I decided to go with them. They're awesome. At my obgyn's office in California, I'd have to wait for at least an hour to be seen. It was an all day event. So far the longest I've had to wait is 20 mins. Today I was in and out in under 40 minutes. The nurses and doctors are so knowledge and kind. The receptionists are always nice. I'm very blessed to have found good care for myself and my baby to be!
