I recently interviewed for a middle school teaching position and found the hiring process…read moredisappointing given the school's reputation for professionalism and excellence. After successfully completing the initial virtual interview, I was contacted by the Director of Recruitment to schedule a phone interview. However, the scheduled interview call was missed entirely, and after waiting, I ultimately had to locate and call the office myself. During the conversation, there appeared to be confusion regarding my candidacy and interview status. Despite this, the discussion itself went well, and I was informed that I would likely move forward to the next stage involving a teaching demonstration with faculty the following week. After receiving no follow-up communication regarding scheduling, I sent a polite reminder requesting the date and time so I could prepare accordingly. I later received a rejection email without any further discussion. I fully understand that schools may choose other candidates, and I respect that process. However, the scheduling issues, communication delays, and overall coordination of the interview experience felt disorganized and inconsistent with the professional image the institution presents publicly.

I cannot say enough positive things about this school and our early elementary experience here. I…read morehave a clever but rowdy little boy who transferred in from a more permissive school environment in Germany (but still an excellent school). The administration and teachers made his transition very smooth. Teachers reward positive behavior and my son really adapted well, taking great pride in the improvements he made. The classical education model brooks no nonsense (please see the top ratings this school has earned) but it's certainly not austere in anyway. The kiddos love the school and love learned. And the teachers really make learning come alive. My son gets in the car bouncing up and down excited to share what he's learned of ancient history and loves testing me on the material! Literature/reading is augmented with a new special book every month that culminates in a fun event with snacks, crafts and enrichment activities based on the book. The children study CHESS in school twice a week from a grandmaster. This instructor's competence and love of the game earned him a place in my child's heart and in mine. And, oh my word, if his main teacher isn't the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful, most patient person I've ever met .... In my experience children rise to the level of the expectations set for them. This is especially true in the supportive environment at True North.

Transparency and communication should be a standard part of the service. I hope the organization improves its process by automatically sending customers a copy of their completed evaluation and confirming delivery to the designated institutions.

It took months to…read morebe able to receive a call back from the director and every time I would go in person I was always told she had "just left." I was finally able to tour the center, and I loved the layout of it and the activities the children were doing, the place was very peaceful when you walked in and everything seemed very put together. However, when tours are scheduled, I feel that people are always on their best behavior. I enrolled my kids in at the last minute and decided to drop them off in the middle of their day because I was running late that day. The toddler class was fine, and my son walked in happily. But when I handed my baby over to the infant class, I was completely disappointed. The teacher for the infant class was playing Cocomelon for the kids on her phone. A real Teacher would know that any screen time before the age of 18 months has detrimental effects on a child brain, especially shows like Cocomelon, which are designed to be addicted to babies and toddlers (literally, look it up.) I spoke to the director right away and informed her that I was not comfortable leaving my son in that class because the teacher was giving the babies screen time without the knowledge of the parents. The director said that she was not aware that this was happening and that it must've been a one time thing. However, when I asked the teacher why they were watching Cocomelon and she said that she used it as a transition for them to get ready to go to the park, which makes no sense. The director of the daycare was really nice and offered a trial week, but overall, I will not be enrolling my kids here simply for the fact that the teachers are doing things behind the directors back. Had it not been for that, I would've been happy to enroll my kids into this daycare as they had a lot of good programs for the kids.

I gave birth in September 2024 and had a very disappointing experience with Miami Holistic Birth…read moreCenter and would not recommend them. From the beginning, I felt misled about costs and insurance coverage. I paid thousands of dollars out-of-pocket, only to later find out that my insurance had already covered the prenatal care they billed for. When I asked for a refund for services they never provided -- including delivery and postnatal care -- I was denied. Lily and Anna made sure to have these conversations over the phone and not through email so there was no paper trail. The prenatal care itself was lacking. I often felt the facility was lacking, personally unsupported, and not given the thorough information or guidance I expected. Once my care had to be transferred to the hospital (because I was past 42 weeks and legally could not deliver at the center), I received no real support or follow-up from the birth center. The "holistic" and supportive experience they promise was simply not there. In the end, I felt deceived, financially taken advantage of, and left without the compassionate care every mother deserves during such an important life event. Families considering Miami Holistic Birth Center should be very cautious -- ask for every detail in writing, especially about costs, insurance coverage, and what happens if you need to transfer. My experience was the opposite of empowering and supportive, and I would not want another family to go through the same.

My experience at Dr Ronald Sancetta's Miami Holistic Birth Center with Dr Berryer and office staff…read moreNastassia- was one of the most heartbreaking times of my life. If you are pregnant and considering this center, please take every negative review seriously. I made the mistake of overlooking them, only to find myself facing the same mistreatment--and worse. When I attempted to address my concerns after the incidents, I was asked to sign a non-disparagement agreement in exchange for the return of funds that rightfully belonged to me. Ronald Sancetta charged my insurance and was paid out for those services- even though I had paid for those services up front. Let me be clear: this business is not under new management. Dr. Sancetta, the key decision-maker, remains involved, and the revolving door of staff reflects the toxic environment. Initially, I was drawn in by the holistic promises advertised on their website. The staff at the time seemed competent, and we trusted them enough to choose a birth center delivery over a hospital birth. This decision required an enormous amount of trust, which the center ultimately betrayed. My Delivery: The plan was to labor at home as long as possible, then arrive at the center for delivery. After 16 hours of labor at home with no doula help, I couldn't endure the pain any longer. We drove an hour and fifteen minutes in Miami rush hour traffic, but no one was there when we arrived. When Dr. Berryer finally checked me, I was told, after just 30 minutes, that I "couldn't be here" because I wasn't dilated enough--even though my cervix was extremely thin, contractions were a minute apart and babies head was low. I was told to stop timing my contractions, "take a Benadryl",  and to "go home "or "get a hotel room" if I didn't feel like driving. They didn't offer a trial of labor or a follow-up check within an hour, as promised. Even the doula trying to assist me was dismissed by Dr. Berryer. I was devastated and in excruciating pain. Two hours later, I gave birth--after being forced to hold my baby in for the last hour in Miami traffic. My body and baby was ready, but I had been denied access to the center I had paid for. At my in-laws' home, who are doctors, I couldn't even speak through the pain. Realizing the baby was coming, they rushed me back to the center. Again, no one was there when we arrived. By the time I walked in, my baby's head was crowning, and I delivered him moments later. Even then, Dr. Berryer walked in the room asking about my dilation, showing an appalling lack of awareness. When I was discharged from the center, I was rolled out to the car in an office chair. Postpartum Neglect: The center failed to submit our baby's birth certificate to the state until a month later, delaying our ability to secure health insurance. It took five or six emails to get them to send the document. Their negligence caused significant stress during a critical time. Booking my post partum appointment took several phone calls and messages. I only went to one post partum appointment to make sure my stitches were healing correctly and then I skipped the final appointment due to feeling unsafe in the centers care. Weeks Leading Up to Delivery: At 36 weeks, my regular provider was absent, and a stranger conducted my appointment without explanation. When I asked about my provider, the new staff member claimed not to know her. Over the next week and a half, I repeatedly reached out for clarification, but my calls and messages went unanswered. Finally, 11 days later, Nastassia returned my call- just days away from me giving birth. Her response to my concerns was dismissive and unprofessional, focusing on outstanding bills rather than addressing my fears for my and my baby's safety. Essential tests and procedures had been neglected, further compounding my anxiety. Nastassia, whom is employed by Dr Sancetta, has the warmth of someone working with criminals at a woman's prison. I am unsure how she is employed at a place meant to make women feel seen and heard. Final Thoughts: This center is dishonest and incompetent. They abandoned, lied to, and financially exploited me during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. I don't know if their behavior is malicious or purely inept, but I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone. Please take the negative reviews seriously--mine included. Women who write these reviews are not taking precious time in their post partum period for no good reason; they are trying to protect others from trauma. Miami Holistic Birth Center failed to deliver the care they promised, leaving me traumatized and betrayed. I urge anyone considering this facility to look elsewhere for a safe and compassionate birthing experience.
