Robin, Julie and Stephanie were an absolute pleasure to work with. They answered any and all questions we threw at them. They helped us feel at ease when there was anything we were unsure about. We started care at a regular obgyn office and transferred to Westover Hills Birth Center around 4 months as I didn't want to deliver in a hospital (unless necessary). The prenatal care was subpar at the hospital compared to the extensive care we received at Westover Hills Birth Center. Our visits were pleasant and we didn't feel rushed like in the hospital. We looked forward to our appointments and were bummed when our postpartum visits were over! Robin and Julie are very passionate midwives and were very knowledgeable. Both of them coming from different backgrounds in midwifery helped create a fantastic dynamic between the two of them. I had a 26-hour labor and a few setbacks during delivery but alas, because of our badass team, we had the birth we had planned for and they respected our birth wishes. I couldn't be more thankful and appreciative of the love and care we received from West Over Hills Birth Center. We will be recommending them to any families in the future looking to go this route. Every time we pass the Birth center, we look for their vehicles just to stop in and say "hi". They really did become part of our family!

This birth center was racist towards my husband. They never greeted us with kindness they were always very rude. While I was in my third trimester we went in for an appointment and I vocalized to my husband that I didn't feel comfortable and no longer wanted to be there and when we left they were rude and then sent us a letter that they refused service to us because my husband asked them about being more kind to us and they didn't like it so robin started yelling at him and got me all emotional and I started crying and I was already getting close to giving birth . We were also supposed to receive a refund for the money we paid but never did.So, if you are looking into having a baby with this place, I would definitely make sure you keep your options open.

I have never heard of a birth center and wasn't familiar with the process of going through with it naturally. To my surprise the first appointment with Nikki proved to me how much her and her staff genuinely care about not only about the mothers, but the dads as well. Before this our OB would barely acknowledge my presence and here I was heard in every aspect of concern. When the time finally came for our baby to make his way into the world not only was I ready, but I felt confident in what to expect and my Isabella did it with great confidence and was amazing through the entire process. Not only am I proud of her, but the amazing team she had behind her along the way. I could NOT have done this without them. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I truly wish I could advocate more for Moms coming here. This type of health care is extremely…read moreunique and rare to find, it takes genuine dedication, passion and care. Nikki provides a safe and understanding environment for all moms and she truly values your personal best interest at heart. Through the entire prenatal experience she made sure to cater to what we wanted as our experience and delivered just that. She's honest and she offered her opinion when asked for it and strict medical facts when we needed it. Truly the best health care I have ever experienced.Her entire team working along side the midwife is just as dedicated and careful as she is. They were sure to have included the baby's father and made sure he was also a part of the experience and truly just involved in the miracle that is birth. They coached him during labor so he knew what to do and when. They made sure he felt just as special, valued, and heard as me. I never thought I would have fun giving birth being able to talk, laugh, sing, and be comfortable, feel safe in the scariest part of a lot of moms journeys, but Nikki and her team Made it possible. If I could say to splurge on anything it would be this! Worth every second. They also offer tons of resources to include a library of helpful books, products to use, and connections with people you may need or want during pregnancy.

I cannot recommend this birth center enough. I interviewed with several midwives when I found out I…read morewas pregnant with twins. I didn't want to be pressured after my very first experience with twins at the hospital where they told me in answer to a medical question I had that they, "liked alive babies". I don't think that was the answer they learned in medical school, but I digress. I LOVE how they handled my breech babies and were very informative about all options throughout my twin pregnancy. They were honest and did not pressure me into anything. Each prenatal appointment was SO peaceful and I left each one learning new things about myself. I learned I was anemic, and looking back I was probably anemic with my first two pregnancies as well but it was never brought to my attention in my 10 min hospital prenatal appts. When we addressed that through iron infusions, it changed my life. (I still need them quarterly now even 8 months postpartum-so, I was happy to learn that) I did end up choosing to have a gentle c section in the end, at 40 weeks pregnant with breech twins because they were cosy in there, because of my husband's and my personal feelings at the end. However, I also love and appreciate, that in the end, I wasn't pressured to wait any longer than we felt comfortable with and each process was so peaceful and easy. She helped me pick the hospital we felt comfortable with and completed all my postnatal care. I so wish my twins hadn't been so comfortable and had tried getting out a little quicker, because I KNOW I would've loved my birth experience with this team of women. Each midwife was wonderful, Joani, my main midwife was the absolute best. I love love love Joyful beginnings.

I had such wonderful care during pregnancy, during labor, and during postpartum care . They even could see me struggling emotional when I couldn't see to voice. They asked questions that really were healing- the deep hidden ones you don't know needed to be asked until you feel complete peace after talking through it all. I knew I had such support no matter how the birth story was going to end. Such words of wisdom, lots of hugs, support through all my questions and concerns- especially for my first. I KNEW I was in good care. Never felt brushed off. Never felt rushed, never felt my information was neglected. Happy to say all 3 of my babies were born safely, healthy, and with a perfectly perfect experience- all that I could ever wanted. Joi, Jordan and Erika all saw me and all were at one of my births. Stayed with us, gave us space, checked in on us, coached us during go time etc. They are family to us and even the grandparents highly adore them. I am now about to venture to them for my last baby and I can't wait for another and final journey with them.

They dropped the ball the day my fiancé went into labor…read more After my fiancé's water broke at 2am, Erica made us wait 15 hours to see us at 5pm because the contractions weren't progressing enough for their standards. When we got there Erica began telling us how much work she had to do and that maybe we should think about going to the hospital since it had already been 15 hours. WTF???? She ultimately sent us home with some essential oils and told us to come back if contractions reached a certain point. She refused to help us, or let us stay and use the room we paid thousands of dollars for... She reminded us again of how much work she had to do that day We trusted these midwives to help us through the labor, ESPECIALLY if it wasn't going perfectly. We wanted someone who cared about our concerns, and our number one concern was a breech baby causing a C section. We hired the doula Erica recommended - both her and Erica said the baby was in perfect position for delivery and they even stopped me from helping my fiancé do some of the "spinning babies" exercises we learned during her pregnancy. Those exercises are designed to help a breech baby get into the correct position. Despite the fact my fiancé was not dilating more as the contractions slowly progressed over 20 hours both of these experts dropped the ball, acted completely confused, and stopped me from helping my fiancé. People like this are the reason I have trust issues, even when somebody claims to be an expert. I'd have done a better job without them. Our baby was breech that's why she wasn't coming out. They didn't have an ultrasound on hand at the birth center to verify the baby's position and when it really came down to it these people were useless when it mattered most. Because our baby stayed in the womb for so long she ended up having some meconium staining on her lungs and had to spend 5 days in NICU after her C section. Thanks birth center. And I wasn't going to say anything about this but why not? A couple times we were there my fiancé saw red flags like other people's urine samples in the bathrooms, and one of the midwives was barefoot for our whole appointment during which she let my fiancé's blood sample rest on the counter for an hour. The blood sample ended up being bad and we had to re draw at the next appointment. Totally wasted $6,600 on this place and the doula they recommended.

The year I'm preparing to depart this city, I find an Ophthalmologist, a Dentist & GYN I like (still working on that PCP). Anyway, Dr. Osowo listened. She believes in Body Autonomy, so you're informed & involved in your decisions instead of just being told what you should do. I felt that if I needed something and was unreasonable she would be clear & direct protecting her license and helping you help yourself. Now...I won't say it's a fast in and out. The long waiting period was in the waiting room the 1st time I went but it was also a mid afternoon appointment. My follow up appointment, I scheduled the 1st appointment of the day and I was in and out. If you're looking for a great GYN, look no more.
