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!

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.

I can't say enough GREAT things about Heather. If you have the means, a doula is 100% a necessity…read more She is equally as helpful to your support partner as well as mentally preparing us for the labor and delivery. My birth plan did not go as planned (as they always say happens). Heather was there to help us through these obstacles every step of the way. She doesn't push you to make any decisions, she educates you and informs you and prepares you to make the decisions that fit you best. I had complications post delivery and she comforted my husband and made the phone calls and held my baby during this emotional time while I was in the OR. She was so much more help than we could have even dreamed of. She is the full package. She even took our newborn photos when my daughter was two weeks old and we turned it into our Christmas card. We also took Heather's classes to prep us for L&D. She made us feel comfortable about everything. She even braided my hair when I was in labor, so sweet! We made her work over time! Poor Heather. She was with us for hours and hours for two days straight. She was very responsive and willing to do whatever we asked her to do. She was even helping coordinate keeping my placenta and the logistics of that. I even texted her the other day to ask about recommendations for my baby and she answered right away. She's just the best of the best.

I've had other hospital births and a birth center birth. This time around, I set my heart on a homebirth. My body had other plans and I had to be induced. The way she was able to support me changed because the hospital staff was ever present and overly hands on given my complications. However, Courtney was there with me. On the bed with me squeezing my hips, tying my hair up to get it out of my face, breathing with me, laughing with me, etc. She is the kind of woman you want loving you and supporting you through such an experience. I immediately clicked with her upon meeting. She exudes joy. I don't plan on having any more babies, but if life throws me a curveball and I do... I'll be reaching out to her for services once more. We love you Coco!

Where do I start about my experience with Sophia. Initially I was skeptical about having a doula it…read morefelt like one more thing to do. I found I was wrong Sophia dissipated stress, created a calming presence and positive environment whenever she was in our home or at the birthing center. Basically any interaction we had with her made our birth experience better. I could not have envisioned my birth experience without Sophia. Sophia helped me throughout the labor process and delivery of my sweet boy. She prepared me and helped me write my birth plan but more importantly helped my husband and I be on the same page. She invited conversation supported by facts and was welcoming to our wishes. She gave us tools for pain management and practiced them with us before the birth. During the birth she helped me to progress through support and positioning and advocated for my needs. My labor process was longer than average for first time moms and Sophia was a constant support never leaving me and easily reached. She helped with holistic pain management. She was positive and a guiding light. I do not think I would have tolerated a unmedicated birth if it was not for Sophia. After the birth her work is not done she is supportive checking in on me and helped me process my experience. Thank you Sophia!

Melanie, owner of Baby Bonds, and her exclusive dental partner, Dr. Sam Zink, were included on a…read morelist of recommended lactation consultants provided to us by St. Alphonsus after delivery. Because my son was not latching, we made an immediate appointment to see Melanie the day we were discharged from the hospital. We were exhausted, overwhelmed first time parents with a two-day old baby who was struggling to eat. We were worried our baby might have a tongue tie. I have a pretty severe tongue tie myself, so I had been worried this could be an issue for him. However, none of the doctors or lactation consultants at the hospital could see a tongue tie. Melanie was our second opinion. She took our two-day old baby and moved his body through some "maneuvers." In no more than 60 seconds, Melanie proclaimed he had a severe tongue tie. In addition to the lactation package she wanted to sell us, she recommended we immediately schedule a tongue-tied release procedure (frenectomy) with her "exclusive" partner, Dr. Zink. For an extra fee, Melanie would assist with the procedure. We were in luck, we were told, they could get us in that week! Although insurance covered none of this, we made the appointment because it felt urgent and important. Time was of the essence to get my baby to latch. But after sleeping on it, we realized we both had a bad taste in our mouths from our appointment with Melanie. It felt extremely "scammy" to us, so we cancelled the procedure in order to carefully consider our options. But after meeting with two other lactation consultants, a pediatrician, and a pediatric physical therapist, nobody else could tell us with any certainty that our son was tongue tied. We will never know if our baby could have benefitted from a frenectomy because we decided against it. However, looking back, our experience with Melanie honestly felt predatory. It is easy to see why so many exhausted, scared parents are agreeing to this invasive and painful procedure based on the high-pressure sales pitch they are getting from her. And of course, she and her dental partner must be profiting enormously from their symbiotic financial arrangement, which to us feels extremely unethical. I've thought about this experience many times in the nearly two years since it occurred, but I honestly felt too intimidated to say anything. A frenectomy is not always the right decision for every family. It is not an emergency regardless of how you are made to feel. Don't be afraid to trust your gut. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion.

Melanie is absolutely amazing. I breast fed my daughter for a little over two years so I thought I…read moreknew what I was in for this go around. I was ten years older and more experienced, right? This wasn't the case. I could not establish a good latch with my little guy and each feed was very painful. I went to the hospital lactation consultants and our doctor. We were told that he didn't have a tongue tie and to just keep going since he was gaining weight. I ended up with mastitis when my little one was around 2-3 weeks old. I reached to Melanie and she immediately was such a blessing during the postpartum period. She helped with information and ideas for treatment before being able to get into the office and meet. I thankfully was able to kick it without antibiotics. When I came into her office and she immediately got work. Her office was very welcoming and during a time when it's hard to take care of yourself, she took the time to check on me. It still means a lot. Being able to sit in the massage chair and drink a protein drink or coconut water while she does body magic on the little one is so rejuvenating. She helped establish a good latch, did weight checks, craniosacral therapy, helped get the tongue tie revision done and after care, organized mommy get togethers, and has been available text almost anytime. She also offers what seems to be all of the items for fake at office which has been so helpful. I can't recommend her enough. You won't be disappointed.

He had absolutely no bedside manner and didnt even act like he cared. Tone was more arrogant then sympathetic.
