I just delivered my second baby with my midwife, Regis McDonald, and can't speak highly enough of the care I received. Both of my deliveries were natural and my labors were long. Regis stayed with me all night with my first delivery and came in on her day off with my last delivery. She was extremely patient and very caring. I send all my friends and family to her. She was also very helpful when I had some postpartum depression. She is extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful midwife.

I delivered both of my children with Michelle Champage. Both times were great experiences and I really felt that I was listened to and taken care of. Both times I was induced (by my request) and had an epidural and everything went very well. I cannot rave more about my care.

Doctors and nurse practioners are wonderful. Their office staff is awful. I made my annual appointment by telephone three months in advance. When I came for my appointment I was told I wasn't listed. I asked to reschedule but no one was available to assist me. I was told they would call me the next day and I never heard from them. I had been coming there for several years. I have found another doctor.

After the cesarean, all post-natal care went normally. I would say that this practice would not be great for women seeking low-interventional or natural births. Regis herself was not responsible for the issues that occurred during my birth with the epidural and eventual cesarean, but who gives a woman a cesarean simply because she asks for one? Also, why was I induced for no good reason? This, I believe, led to my epidural which lead to my cesarean. This clinic does not do VBAC, so I have gone somewhere else.

Saw Regis McDonald for a low-risk first-time pregnancy. Everything was very routine. Was given an induction, which I thought was 'normal' since most of my friends were induced. I was never provided with a reason for why I was induced on the day I was due instead of allowing me to go into labor naturally. Baby was not overly large, I didn't have gestational diabetes....it's a mystery to me! I was not informed of the risks of induction or epidurals. My membranes were stripped, with no explanation of the risks for that either. At birth, no midwife was present until I asked for a cesarean. My epidural was turned off during pushing (not what I was told was going to happen) and I couldn't handle it, so I asked to be sectioned.

This is a great clinic to go to!

Michelle Champagne has delivered both of my kids, one my csection. She is amazing, knowledgable and has great bed side manner. The only doctor I've had a problem with there is Regis McDonald. I found her to be very short, very rude at times, but I have to say, she did know her stuff. I highly reccomend this office to every woman.

This is a wonderful clinic. I like it because they work with the whole woman in women's health, in bone density, gynecology, OB, and are totally willing to work with naturopaths in using bioidentical hormone therapy or other alternative therapies instead of disregarding alternative therapies and focusing only on prescription drugs. I have found the whole office to be very friendly and helpful.
