From admission in labor to discharge, midwife patients enjoy a personal experience with minimal intervention and as natural a birth experience as possible.
Our midwives have had consistently excellent outcomes over the last 15 years, including single-digit c-section rates, low epidural usage, and overall superior patient satisfaction.
