They are easy to reach, don't charge extra $ for portal messages (like Fern Valley sadly). I couldn't be more pleased with this clinic!

My only bit of feedback is around the hounding that the office staff does to get patients to fill out the questionnaires. For my baby's first appt I was having some trouble adjusting at home to all of my new responsibilities that came with taking care of a newborn, my toddler and myself having just finished a high risk pregnancy for gestational hypertension. As I was finally sitting down to complete the paperwork prior to the deadline while in between feeds I received yet another reminder call. I explained my situation to the lady that called me and she had very little empathy.

A Warning to Black woman!…read more I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding the services I received at this clinic. As a Black woman seeking fertility treatment, my experience was marred by what I perceived as unprofessional conduct and potential racial bias. During my initial consultation, I discussed payment options and treatment plans. However, I was later given conflicting information, leading to confusion and distrust. Furthermore, my ultrasound examination was conducted hastily and, in my opinion, incorrectly, seemingly to accommodate the staff's scheduling needs. I was informed of a cyst, which subsequent medical evaluations revealed to be nonexistent, raising serious questions about the accuracy and thoroughness of the care I received. Given these experiences, I am deeply concerned that the clinic may be creating barriers for Black couples and women seeking to conceive. I urge you to investigate these matters thoroughly before subjecting your Black body to this clinic. It is important to carefully consider the quality of care alongside the cost when choosing a healthcare provider. A lower price may not always reflect the standard of service you deserve. Seattle PNW fertility is amazing and hasn't been wrong about anything yet

I was really looking forward to working with this clinic for my IUI cycle. I had my initial meeting…read morewith Eliza and made a plan. The initial visit was great. I notified Eliza and Jessica a week before my cycle was due to start and was told "sounds great". One week later when I connected again to initiate IUI cycle, I was advice Eliza would be on vacation. There is no back up provider which meant i had to push my IUI another month. The following month, the same thing occurred. I did ask at my initial appointment about time flexibility and was re-assured that was not a problem. I was also told that if Eliza was not available they would support get me set up with SMR to ensure I was able to proceed with an IUI as planned. This was not true. When inquired about this I was advices SRM had 'recently' changed their policy and this was not possible. I have decided to move to a different clinic. I have shared my thoughts directly with Eliza and Jessica. Please note that a huge disadvantage of First Steps is having only one provider with no backup. I also suggested anytime Eliza will be out of the clinic that this be communicated in advanced to avoid additional stress to a very stressful process and transparency about not having a backup provider.

Since 2016 I have continued care with Midwife Seattle. I experienced a couple miscarriages in 2017…read moreand Cindie was even more valuable during my time of grief than during my (uncomplicated) birth. The level of compassion and knowledge that she has is unparalleled and it was especially evident while I experienced loss. I also continued care with this group during my latest pregnancy and birth. I trust these women whole heartedly when it comes to making decisions about pregnancy and I always feel heard. Appointments are never rushed. My planned home birth turned into transferring care to a hospital because of low amniotic fluid. Through the transition of care all the way to the birth of my son, Cindie was paramount in supporting me in a way that left me feeling grateful beyond words that I chose Midwife Seattle. I would recommend Midwife Seattle to anyone seeking a home birth with the most amazing, compassionate, caring, and smart midwives in Seattle!

I just changed to having Amanda as my PCP after seeing her for a well woman visit after my daughter…read morewas born. She is that great! I felt like I learned more from her about my current random annoying small medical problems than I have ever learned from any doctor! Mel was my midwife for my daughter's home birth almost 1.5 years ago now. Birthing wasn't as bad as people make it osund. I understand why birthing moms may want epidurals, but in labor it was clear to me that there was no way anyone was getting me in a moving vehicle of any kind. I saw her, Jen and Cindi for prenatal care. The prenatal checkups were laid back, I felt well informed. They listened to me and would do what was necessary at visits while keeping the visits informal feeling, more of a dialogue of how pregnancy was going for me. As of maybe 2 months ago Midwife Seattle has split into two practices: Cindi and Amanda, and Mel and Jen. It came down to some insurance issue having to do with hospital births. So now all of them only do home births. Cindi and Amanda are at Midwife Seattle and I cannot recall the name of Mel and Jen's new practice.

In short My lovely bride and I know the local ERs all too…read morewell lately, and this one is by far the best. It's not attached to a hospital, but it's fully staffed and the care is VERY fast, capable, and caring. In long My wife had a massive stroke about 17 months ago. As often happens, she developed tremors, chronic pain, and now intermittent small seizures. This means we head to the ER every couple months even without a new stroke or other new symptoms. It just gets to be more than we can manage for her at home. Everett, Edmonds, and Mill Creek all have ERs, though the Mill Creek location is less known since it's not attached to a hospital. Same with this one in Lynnwood. Since my bride usually doesn't need to be admitted after a seizure, a stand-alone ER does the trick. We drove ourselves and checked in with the front desk. Before they could even put on her wristband, they were calling her back. Amazing. They wristbanded her on our way to the exam room. 3 people were already waiting to get her vitals, hook up monitors, and make her comfortable. Even more amazing. We've sat sometimes for hours in other ERs. No exaggeration. The doctor on duty was very present and focused. He reviewed her chart before coming in, and spent more time on it after asking questions. She was asleep, and he spent 10 productive minutes asking for every kind of info. They ran tests and made sure her bed was warm and comfortable. All the RNs and CNAs and whatnot were friendly and worked fast. Radiology was awesome, they had the most-modern mobile x-ray machine I've seen. I've seen more of them than I ever wanted to, believe me. We spent 3 hours there and never had pain-management issues get any worse, which often happens during long stressful waits. We really enjoyed chatting with all of the staff who checked on her. At one point, her O2 saturation dropped a bit, and before I could even figure out what the beep meant, an RN was in the room hooking up an O2 tube to her nose. I don't want to have a favorite ER, but circumstances demand that I know I need one. This is definitely it. If she ever needs to be admitted from here, she'd likely be transferred to Bellevue, since it's hard to find beds around here. But I can handle an extra 10 minutes drive time bringing her home if she saves *hours* before she even gets seen.

I gave birth at 40 weeks and 3 days. Two days before delivery, I called to inform you that I was…read moresick. Instead of providing a prescription covered by my insurance, I was only given a list of medications to buy. Because I was very sick, I had to go to Walgreens and spend over $100 on medications that I could have received for free with a prescription. Later, I tested positive for COVID-19 and informed your team. The only response I received was "I'm sorry you have COVID, stay in quarantine for 5 days." At no point was I informed that COVID could lead to early labor. The day before delivery, when I entered active labor, I called again. My information was sent to Providence Everett, but I received no encouragement or support from any of the midwives. Ultimately, I had to undergo an emergency C-section because my baby's heart rate was unstable, and my newborn was transferred to Seattle Children's Hospital due to meconium aspiration. I did not hear from Sprouts until four days after my baby's birth, and the call was simply to say, "I'm sorry you went through that, let us know when you want to schedule your postpartum appointment." When I scheduled and came to my appointment, I felt dismissed and disrespected. At the front desk, I was asked "where's the baby" in an ironic tone, followed by "oh, I forgot, she's at the NICU." In my visit with Deborah, my concerns about missed communication and risks associated with my prolonged pregnancy were rejected instead of acknowledged with empathy. Despite my disappointment, I continued with follow-up appointments for postpartum care and birth control because I had no other provider at that time. However, I have consistently felt unsupported. Most recently, when I asked for an all-purpose nipple ointment (as recommended by the lactation team and nurses at Seattle Children's Hospital), I received a dismissive and questioning response instead of the prescription I needed. At this point, I believe the care I received from Sprouts Birth Center has fallen short of the support, compassion, and professionalism that should have been provided. For these reasons, I respectfully do not recommend this birth center at all.

I will always recommend out of hospital/midwife care, especially Sprout Birthing Center. Prenatal care: On point all around. All the traditional tests were offered to me to ensure there weren't any apparent complications that would make my pregnancy or birth high-risk. Birth: At the center. Arrived a little after 9pm to help move the pregnancy along (11 days overdue!). After hours birth meant my immediate family was able roam the center without interfering with day-to-day operations. My son was born at 11:01pm. Mayya and Brittni didn't rush me and didn't argue me when I said it was time to push. They let me control the birth. Their roles were simply to make sure we were healthy. After having a hospital birth with my second son, I can't rave enough about how much its truly means to drive your own birth. I was free to leave around 2 or 2:30am. 5 hours at the center and in home in bed to rest and heal! Can't complain about that! Postpartum Care: Thorough. Never once did I feel I wasn't being listened to. Billing: No issues as of yet ‍. I'll update if needed.

I was a bit wary about being scheduled an ultrasound here with the wide spectrum of Yelp posts,…read moreboth good and very bad. However, speaking from my personal experience, this went well. From the phone scheduling after my physician's referral (9/19/24), to check-in at reception and pleasant waiting room with classical music (9/26/24). The ultrasound tech who showed me the dressing rooms, the secure lockers to stow clothing & valuables, and who performed the ultrasound was very nice, professional and thorough. Added plusses were warmed exam smock, clean washcloths/linen, and ultrasound gel. I was expecting discomfort, but she was able to get the images needed without pain. She had them reviewed by another physician onsite. This resulted in additional images, further examination, and then at the end was provided feedback about the results. The final report will be sent to my physician. She also provided me with a personal referral to another specialist who could help alleviate my current situation. Pro tips: *schedule as early in the morning as possible to give time with the commute and have parking availability. *do not use any lotion, powder, deodorant, or excessive fragrance prior to the scheduled exam. *both me and the ultrasound tech both wore masks, especially with cold, flu, Covid season. I will have to get an additional MRI despite today's ultrasound and speaking from my own specific outcome. Now armed with two doctor referrals, maybe my insurance (that I pay out of pocket for) will actual listen to both medical professionals versus flat out denying the diagnostic requests. Always be your own strong advocate! Medical exams and tests are important. As a Yelp Elite reviewer and two time cancer warrior, take this seriously.

Give yourself a few extra minutes in case you need to park in the garage and walk a little bit (it's not far).

They are very thorough and explain things well.

I can't recommend Milla and Melinda enough! My husband was skeptical about hiring a doula, but…read moreafter the birth he was the first to say how grateful he was they were there for us and that the investment was so worth it. Their package is outstanding compared to others. Milla was with us for delivery and she was such a calming, supportive presence. She reminded me of my birth plan when I needed it, worked beautifully with the hospital staff, held me through contractions, cheered me on when I felt like giving up, and set boundaries with family when I asked. She just knew what I needed and I felt safe with her. Melinda was equally fantastic. I felt deeply seen by her. She helped me with my anxiety before labor and in postpartum, gave me practical tools (the ice exercise was a game changer), and walked through our house helping us set up baby stations + shared so many helpful tips. Some additional highlights: - Their website has the best list of questions to ask when interviewing doulas. - The prep class with Milla was both super helpful and honestly fun. I truly believe the exercises she taught me made a huge difference in my labor. - Melinda dropping everything to come help us on day 3 postpartum when we texted her in frenzy. Hiring them was hands-down the best decision we made. I'm so happy with how my labor went, and I honestly credit that to this amazing doula team. Overall, the biggest impact they made on me was that they believed in me, and that gave me so much strength. For a first-time mom with higher levels of anxiety, that kind of support was priceless. I honestly wish they could be my team of support forever in motherhood--that's how much I loved them and how much I trust them. And even now, I still bug them from time to time and they always quickly help me out with resources. I am so fortunate to have found them. I am sure you will feel the same way if they become your choice of doulas.

So the second time, I wanted to have the same support and was so glad to have her with us even though we'd been through this before once. And although I had expected the third time to be even easier, some complications came up and it was so helpful to be able to consult with Melinda and work through some difficult decisions. She also helped me with processing and accepting the surgical delivery that I had really hoped to avoid.
