1 /5 Paige Avellar: Honestly, very unimpressed with the midwifery unit. They scheduled me for a well-woman checkup on February 26th at 8:20 AM. I live 45 minutes away so I woke both myself and my 9 month old baby up early to make sure we could arrive on time. I get there and check in and the secretary says she can’t find my appointment. She looks into it more and sees that they booked me for February 26th…of 2026. She says she’ll go back to see if any of the midwives are available to see me for a well woman checkup; mind you, there’s no one else in the waiting room. She comes back with a sticky note with a phone number on it and tells me that her manager said to call and reschedule. No accountability for their actions and no attempt to rectify the situation. So I call and make another appointment; I’m not going to make a big deal about it.
About a week later, I get a voicemail from the midwifery office telling me that the provider that I’ve scheduled with is not accepting my insurance plan. I know that this isn’t true because I made sure to verify that all of the midwives in their office were in network with my insurance plan BEFORE I even made the first appointment in February. So I call them back and the secretary tells me that she needs to place me on hold to follow up on something. Then she comes back and says that none of their midwives are actually doing well woman visits at this time. Why would you schedule me for a well-woman checkup TWICE if none of your midwives were performing these services? ALSO, do not advertise these services on your website if your midwives aren’t offering them! At this point, none of their lies and BS were adding up so I just told her that I would go ahead and try to find a different practice.
Despite all of their shortcomings, I really tried to keep it cool and be patient because it was important to me that I receive well woman and future pregnancy care from a midwife and their hospital is one of the only places that has midwives in network with my insurance plan. I don’t know why they tried to push me out so quickly but I don’t think I deserved this kind of treatment. 10/10 do NOT recommend.
