    Zero stars if i could! This place is HORRIBLE! First off, i gave birth to my son at upmc of lititz…read moreand i had the worst experience of my life! My first baby and now I'm so traumatized i don't know if i want any more. I was scheduled to be induced and they ended up giving me an emergency c section mainly because of my weight (im plus sized) they treated me horrible cuz of my weight. Super unprofessional, Dr. Livingston and Dr. Syad did my c sections and i was so uncomfortable they didn't explain anything to me, i ended up having a panic attack so bad in the operating room bc they didn't explain what was happening and i was so worked up they took forever to get let my boyfriend come in the OR which made things so much worse. Not to mention i told the dr. How the midwife had treated me so poorly and all she had to say was "my eyes only look forward" me and my boyfriend couldn't believe how they had treated me! Super uncaring and cold! ALSO I ENDED UP GETTING A HUGE ABSCESS INFECTION AFTER MY C SECTION. I had to be in the hospital for 7 days and ripped away from my newborn because these so called Drs. Dont know how to do their jobs!!!! I could sit here and write an entire novel on how they acted towards me but i dont have the time (obviously). DO NOT EVER go here you will regret it just like i did!

    The check-in staff at this location are top notch. They are efficient, kind, and have always…read moretreated me with respect. We have used OBGYN of Lancaster for our 2nd miscarriage and now currently for our first birth (to be). Dr. Livingston (at the Etown campus) is amazing. With our miscarriage she explained everything, was straightforward and to the point, yet also held emotional space for us. I never felt rushed out with her and really felt she wanted to help us the best that she could. She akways took time to connect with me as a patient and it's evident she takes pride in her work. I would trust her completely. She was also patient with next steps, as we wanted time to heal before moving forward. When we did move forward, she did a procedure/test for me that was extremely uncomfortable, but she was so quick and efficient, (even though I'm sure I could've done my part better to make it easier for her). She did an excellent job and gave me results immediately. For our current pregnancy, we've been primarily at the Lititz location so we could meet more providers. We have enjoyed every midwife we've seen (Terri, Adanma, Erin, Jessica, Patti), and as far as doctors we've seen (Livingston, Satorie, Fromuth). We have been pleased with all of the doctors until today's NST/Biophysical Appt. (thus the docking of the 5th star). We enjoyed Dr. Fromuth in each visit prior, but today he treated us differently. Our results from the NST/Biophysical were all great and fluid was measuring at a level that is open to interpretation, but not bad by any means. He knew our wishes were to avoid an induction unless absolutely medically necessary, but was still frustratingly pushy. (Considering fluid levels can change based on mother's hydration, and I wasn't well hydrated today, I hardly consider a medium score a reason to schedule an induction). He did share some research, which I'm familiar with, but did not find particularly helpful or relevant as the study was on FTM at 39 weeks, not 41 weeks. The insistence on induction was not really the issue, but rather an unwarranted, rude comment he made when I was asking questions about the UPMC induction procedures. He mentioned Pitocin, Foley Bulb, Cytotec (also known as Misoprotol, a medicine designed for the stomach NOT the uterus, but often used in OB medicine, and a medical option I had previously declined when having both of my miscarriages due to possible side effects and negative results on uterine tissue). I then calmly mentioned how I was not really comfortable with the Cytotec, to which he retorted "Well, welcome to motherhood! Where you have to often do what you don't prefer!" I started crying in the office (embarrassing), and had to stand up to offer myself a tissue. It was a disappointing visit, as I expect more empathy from my providers. My husband was also incredibly shocked & offended at Fromuth's comment on my instinctual ability to be a mother. Fromuth is strictly a "facts" doctor, which is fine, but I prefer providers who can ALSO show decency to their patients and who validate patient's perspectives and feelings. Fromuth easily could have said, "I understand that you may be opposed to this option, and that's completely okay for you to feel that way, we would only use it if deemed medically necessary for your situation." As a person who comes from a history of, which is ON my file, others making decisions FOR me and/or without my consent, can be extremely distressing & damaging emotionally and mentally. I still like this practice as MOST everyone treats us SO well, but I will not be seeing Dr. Fromuth again, as that is at least something I can choose that he cannot. Now I am very stressed and emotionally distraught about our upcoming induction, for fear of others treating me with this same disregard.

    I had a traumatic time working with Erin in 2021. It was my first pregnancy and things were going…read morewell at first. In the second trimester, she started mentioning that my blood pressure was elevated. I looked up standards online and it was not yet elevated, so this seemed more precautionary at this point. She kept mentioning that every single appointment. I started to feel extremely anxious going into her office. I was terrified of being risked out and I felt very helpless because I had already paid the majority of the agreed upon payment, so I couldn't transfer to someone else. Around 30 weeks is when things took a turn for the worse. I was panicking about appointments at this point, which of course would give an elevated reading. However, it was when she checked my fundal height and implied that I have gestational diabetes, without doing any testing, that really drew the line. At that point, the only testing I've had was A1C at the beginning and it was borderline pre-diabetes, so based off of that and her checking fundal height, she was asking for a growth scan with no other testing. I was not offered to check my sugars with a glucose monitor, no fasting sugar test, no 1 or 3 hour test, nothing, but her hunch. This also happened at the appointment after I made my final payment to her. At this point I stopped going to her because the anxiety I had was causing me too much stress. Feeling like you will be risked every single appointment based off of hunches made me feel so helpless. She never offered for me to check my blood pressure at home. She never offered anything except what I suspect is discrimination towards my weight. She assumed my higher weight meant health issues, and I guess it was too much liability for her. But, she had no problem keeping everything I paid her. I've worked with other midwives since and they know about this situation and to this day I am measuring BP at home because doing it in office brings up a lot of this for me anxious. That's why I called this experience traumatic, it truly was for me. To make things even worse, when I was giving birth at the hospital, she transferred records and in her records had but that I have hypertension and gestational diabetes, which led to extra testing to my baby. The hospital was shocked by both of those records because my BP was perfect during birth and my and my babies sugars were perfect as well. They wondered after the fact why it even said that. So not only did she risk me out for refusing a growth scan, she then sent false records based off of her hunches to a medical facility. The hypertension part I can understand bc of the readings in office (they never actually reached 140, which is the diagnosis for hypertension), but to say I have GD with zero testing to a hospital, as a "natural" midwife, is just beyond anything imaginable. I've gone on to have a successful home birth with wonderful midwives who actually cared about me and my wellbeing. They never assumed anything about my weight, they gave me tons of options for testing to make sure we have a full picture of my health. They never made me feel like I would get risked out. If anything was every wrong, we talked about it extensively, including what to do to help the situation (iron). If you look at Erin's website, you will find zero photos of anyone who is at a higher weight. She did not have to agree to work with me. I chose her because she claimed to be inclusive. This was a lie that cost me emotionally, financially and ruined my first birth being a home birth. I'm happy to provide proof of working together through email correspondence and receipts.

    Choosing Erin as our midwife was by far the best decision we could've made for the birth of our…read morelast baby. After two hospital births and my second being traumatic I finally got the birth I wanted and deserved. The entire experience with Erin from start to finish was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and I learned so much from her. The care you receive is WAY beyond the care you would ever receive at an OB office (at least from my experience). Erin truly takes the time during your appointments and you're not rushed out. During my labor I was able to do my own thing but she was readily available when needed. After baby was born she was able to diagnose his lip and tongue and recommended a place to get him revised and did all the standard checks. We had an issue with jaundice on day 2 and Erin acted swiftly to ensure we had a bili blanket delivered right to our door so we never had to step foot in a hospital. During the days we used the blanket she was text and check up on us. I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
