While Suzy, the boss, is very kind and supportive, our experience with Jurisa as a caregiver was…read moredeeply troubling and ultimately unacceptable. Jurisa repeatedly placed our newborn in completely unsafe sleeping situations, first on a couch, then in a Tripp Trapp high chair with a newborn insert, which is absolutely not intended for sleep. When we addressed this serious safety concern, her response was to swaddle our baby so tightly that he was sweating and visibly overheated when we found him in the morning. This showed a shocking lack of understanding of basic infant care and safety. In addition to these concerns, Jurisa was late every single day she was scheduled to work. She even told us in advance that she might be up to 30 minutes late one day because of a volleyball game, as if that were acceptable in a professional childcare setting. It was clear that punctuality and commitment were not priorities for her. We are incredibly disappointed and feel strongly that Jurisa should not be entrusted with the care of infants. No parent should have to worry about the safety of their child or be left wondering if their caregiver will even show up on time.

I can't say enough good things about having a doula, both for during birth and after. With our…read morefirst child, we used an after birth doula for one or two evenings a week. It was a sanity saver. You just don't know how bad sleep deprivation is until you have a night or two of respite. Michelle was wonderful and we were so grateful for her help. Our second child had the worst case of gas, and would only sleep for 15 minute intervals at a time before needing help to go back down. After nights of baby crying (and mom too, from exhausted frustration), we used the doula network to source a whole team of doulas for help. Heather and her team (a special shout out to Sandra!) were absolutely amazing to work with. Heather in particular was always there to lend an ear, give advice, and think through sleep issues. If you have a new little one and the financial means to outsource a few nights (or days), I can not recommend this service enough. It's no joke that it takes a village, but many young families now live far away from familial means of support during the first few months. Heather has put together a fantastic team of doulas to help you get through this tough time.

I appreciated that everyone who worked with me wore a KN95 mask no questions when I explained my immune issues. Sadly that is rare in doctor's offices lately. Leigh listened attentively to my issues and thoroughly explained possible diagnosees and best paths forward..

There is a lot of love for the midwife center here and much of it is hard won and well deserved…read more Their space is beautiful and modern. Most staff are kind and professional. I appreciate their holistic, personalized approach to healthcare - (they've asked me some thoughtful, out-of-the-box questions and do take interest in the whole picture of your health) - as well as their progressive lean and focus on healthcare accessibility. I was a patient here for over a year and I can tell you that all of these things are the real deal. The weaknesses of this practice - in my layperson opinion - are as follows: 1) Limited scope. They aren't an OB/GYN, and can't really take the place of one. As one of the nurses very snippily told me, they "don't practice medicine", sounding like I had walked into an Applebee's and asked them to operate on my foot. They practice nursing, I get that - I only expect a medical provider to, you know, help me, and not make my issue worse. Lots of folks do prefer midwives to the traditional MDs & DOs, and I can appreciate that, but their ability to diagnose and treat is much more limited than they advertise. For me, this meant visits with three different providers, a misdiagnosis, unnecessary meds, lots of invasive stuff, hundreds of dollars of unnecessary tests, and one sad patient with no answers. I wish they had recognized when something was maybe a little beyond their scope and just referred me out on the front end, saving me a whole bunch of misery. As with most things in life, YMMV. A limited scope of practice might be okay for you! If you're the picture of health and just want to pop in for your annual or grab a birth control script, AND if you're already connected with a solid gynecologist to see for any real problems, this facility might very well meet your needs. Because - my next point: 2) Continuity of care is lacking. They suck at referrals. I was initially told that they have a select few GYNs in the community with whom they work closely and collaboratively. But when I actually needed this referral, I was sent five+ pages of basically an indecipherable, broken wall of text and told I could self-refer to "that clinic at Magee" but that I didn't really "need" to. How helpful is that? 3) Pretty unprofessional billing/recordkeeping practices - I've gotten multiple bills addressed to the wrong person for my own care and have gotten bills with handwriting and white out on them. Their EMR/portal with Maternity Neighborhood is pretty poor quality and I've seen another patient's medical records mixed in with my own! A little concerning. Ultimately, my health concern was promptly addressed and treated at my first visit with an MD elsewhere and I don't intend on returning to this clinic. I do feel this place has a lot of potential and I respect all the positive reviews, but to me the concerns outweigh the benefits. I'd rather go to a more professional clinic with a higher capacity for service.

I have been coming here for four years now, ever since I became pregnant with my first child. I had…read moreto scramble to find an OBGYN when my old doctor left her practice. I asked a few friends and ended up here and am glad I did! So heading to your first appointment pregnant, and not just for a regular check-up is a different experience. There's actually probably about eight doctors that are a part of this practice. I rotated seeing all of them because any of the eight could be the doctor birthing my son. Of course with eight different people there's eight different personalities. Some I gravited to more than others. I really liked Dr. Udrea, Dr. Smith, Dr. Rowland, Dr. Hunkele and a newer doctor who her name escapes me, but she's younger. There's a few of the doctors that come off a little less friendly aka their bedside manner isn't the best with Dr. Dicenzo and Dr. Halfhill. They're fine, and Dr. DiCenzo actually birthed my second son and was fine... But she wasn't my first choice. The staff and nurses are all very nice and I mainly went to this West Penn location vs the other locations around the city. The nurses are actually very very nice just to spend a minute talking about them. They were always so sweet and it's weird after almost 10 months of going there monthly to not see them now! So if you're in the market for a new OBGYN, I would highly recommend this place.

There are about 6 doctors in the practice and they make sure that you get to meet all of them so that you're completely comfortable when it's time for delivery. I had a small scare at the beginning of my pregnancy and they had me in for an ultrasound within a half hour. And I've never had a problem reaching them with questions. The doctors in this practice have completely eased my fears this time around and I'm so happy that I chose them to care for me and my baby!

Everything about my experience was top notch from the phone call making the appointment to the post appointment follow up. When I made my appointment, I was given detailed instructions about not only the appointment but also about where to park and how to get to the area where the test would be done. I was told to arrive around 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork so I did. It took me about 5 minutes to fill out the paperwork and they took me in almost exactly at my 9:30 appointment time. The staff was friendly and courteous. It was wonderful that the doctor explained every step of the test so I understood what was going on and what he was looking at. The nurse was equally as friendly and informative. Overall, the service was better then I expected and I will no longer be hesitant if/when I have to make a return appointment.

We opted to take all four of the classes they offer and we are so glad we did! Each class was the perfect mix of reflection, information, and time for questions. They stay up to date with new researchers in various fields and had tons of invaluable information and insight. This was our first pregnancy and birth, so we had tons of questions. It was so nice to talk out our hopes and fears with them, I definitely felt more at ease after the classes. At our birth, we ended up working with both Megan and marlee (my labor was a bit long). After the birth, I was struggling with breastfeeding. Marlee was able to provide excellent advice and help us stick with it! Both of them are amazing and have wonderful tools and bedside manner. All the tips and tricks they recommend really do work! If you are looking for kind, open minded, knowledgeable, and passionate doulas, look no further!

We had a lot of questions and fears, and Riverbend helped us avoid feelings of overwhelm when it came to researching and making decisions about it. They are extremely informed about options for birthing people, and always had some kind of suggestion or insight into the process. Our birth itself was also made easier by having people who have been through this before to consult through early labor and who understood the way our hospital worked. Post partum, Marlee's kind and nonjudgmental guidance during some difficulties with feeding were particularly invaluable. She was able to help me pump comfortably and effectively, and also helped me get to a better place mentally about that process. Marlee is also great at finding pain points in the fog of newborn parenting and helping make things a little easier, even when it may not have occurred to you that there is anything to be done! Thank you Riverbend Birth for your immense compassion and insight as we brought our baby into the world!
