FAQ

Q: Do you do home births?
A: Currently I am only accepting clients who plan to use the birth center. This is a personal choice; focusing on the birth center is easier on my home and family life. I am very happy to direct you to one of my colleagues who does home birth in your area.

Q: When are you available for tours / consultations / prenatal appointments?
A: I am available Wednesdays from about 10am until about 4pm. About twice a month I am there on Friday for Open House from 11-1. I do NOT do non-urgent prenatal appointments on any day except for Wednesday. If you need to have your appointments on a different day of the week, I am more than happy to recommend one of my colleagues to meet your needs.
