I was hesitant about changing from my "normal" OBGYN healthcare provider to a midwifery group with my second child. By no means would I consider myself a "crunchy" mama but I knew I wanted a different experience. It was the best decision I could've made! They always gave me options and respected any choices that I made, even when I was at the 41 week mark in my pregnancy. Lauren was on call during my delivery and it was perfect (A word I don't use often). There was nothing but laughter (something I thought was unheard of while birthing), confidence, and after 18 minutes of arriving at the hospital? A beautiful, HEALTHY baby girl! It couldn't have been a more ideal birth (for myself, anyways). From the ladies in the reception area to the midwives we had the pleasure of meeting, we always felt cared for and in total control of what was going on. Thank you a million times over.

Most of the staff is very nice and polite but one in particular that I had spoken on the phone with was very rude with an attitude. Almost had to ask to speak to her supervisor because how bad she was.

These ladies are awesome. They took me in at the last month of my pregnancy when I realized i did not trust my initial ob/gyn and compassionately listened to my wishes and concerns. The wait times for appointments we're minimal, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the midwives made me feel completely comfortable putting mine and my baby's health in their hands. I so wish I had gone to them first during my early pregnancy, but I'm so glad I decided to switch to them in the end; if I become pregnant again, they are my first choice in prenatal care!

I have been fighting depression for a while now Dr Lauren was amazing the few time I had her that is the only reason why I stayed !!! I ended up being a walk in one day because of bad pain so I had to see another doc which I understand why because i was a walk in!! They took test and all that and they said if it gets worse to call them back the next day I was in major pain and was bleeding, I called back twice the next day was not able to talk to the doc the receptionist said that I'm just going to have to wait like everyone else! So for two extra days I waited for the doc to call me and I was in so much pain I couldn't walk! The doc never called and I ended up being hospitalized for 5 days because of a bad infection that I was lucky I went to the ER cause it would have been worse for the baby. The time that i was in the Hospital never got a call about my results and the ER was having trouble getting a hold of them as well!!!! I ended up going back to my next app and I asked many times if I was going to see DR Lauren they told me yes it end up being someone else cause it was just to see how I was doing after the hospital but the doc was shy did not seem confident at all didn't make me feel good that is for sure. So ended up making another app and before I made the app I asked the receptionist if i was going to see Lauren or not they said yes I was... well again did not see my doc saw someone else and I asked that doc why I have not seeing my doc she then explained to me that patients meet all the docs.... After that I made an app with someone else and today called the midways and guess what the receptionist said they faxed all my stuff they ended up shredding and lied about it!!!!!! The RECEPTIONIST has been mean to me since my first day I showed up!!! I just really liked the doc I had but its not worth it if I Can not see my doc specially for my health and baby which is my first baby and it does not help that I have no family here so it makes it worse that I have not been well taken care of.

I first saw Erin who understood I suffer from anxiety and get BP spikes during anxiety attacks at appointments so did Megan. Lauren did at first too and she even told me to take it at home so if things were to change with my BP we could know since we couldn’t tell at appts. All was good until I saw Amy and right before I found out I was getting my gbs test done, nobody had told me and I didn’t know what it was so I had a pretty intense anxiety attack and tried to explain that to Amy but she wouldn’t listen and she hurt me when she did my gbs test, I later found out after asking others about it that she did it wrong and in an unsanitary way. She then tells me I have NO CHOICE (lie) but to go to the hospital because of my BP, after that whole fiasco I refused to see her again. I hit my due date and saw Erin and she said my blood pressure had actually been consistently lower and said the next appt they’d do a NST and make sure my baby, her fluid, and placenta all looked good and if all checked out it’s okay to go over due date and still have no intervention, and that after they’d do it every appt then if nothing we could talk options. Time comes for my NST and Lauren completely flipped a switch! She comes in says “where have I been that your bp has gotten so high? You know you need to be induced right?” I was so confused I asked if everything was okay and she said it was but it didn’t matter, I told her I have pictures of all my bp reading at home and they’re normal and she said it didn’t matter and threatened me with a hysterectomy, I started to have an anxiety attack and she told me I couldn’t even sit for another appointment and that I’d have to come in on Monday to get induced and that she was already going to schedule it and didn’t give me a choice (it was Friday) My water broke the next morning and I went in and Erin was there and we discussed not doing checks unless necessary for risk of infection and when it was getting close to her leaving and Lauren coming in I started to panic, I asked her to check and she didn’t seem to want to, reminded me what we had talked about but I was too scared of having her leave and we tired but it hurt to bad I was done. Lauren came in and kept wanting to do checks and would come in and sit on the couch and play on her phone and Apple Watch and sigh and wouldn’t be helpful or leave and then she said cause I want letting her check that if I tried progressing with labor I could damage my cervix and again brought up a hysterectomy and then threatened me with a court order!!! So I felt I had no choice anymore, she checked and I was at 5 cm and she told me I had to get an epidural and pitocin but I had to give up I had no choice anymore. The next morning my catheter had hurt me but had started hurting me like in rates of contractions and with my luck Amy was now on call and came in and checked me and said I was fully dilated and that my baby wasn’t in the right position but I could push if I wanted, then said she was going to come in at noon to check me just to humor me cause if my baby wasn’t out by then she wasn’t going to be born vaginally, like what the heck she couldn’t come in before and been transparent with me and explained that?? So I start pushing and she keeps telling me she’s not in position but to keep pushing, I then made the comment about how sad I was that I didn’t feel a thing and that I loved my natural laboring before this and wished I could’ve kept going naturally and Amy scoffed at me and said no comment and then between pushing Amy’s phone kept going off and playing “let it go” and she would go off and talk then I said in my birth plan I wanted a warm compress to help tearing and she said don’t worry about it, then after my baby was born she didn’t wait for the cord to stop pulsing like I asked and had in my birth plan, then she said she didn’t read my birth plan and asked if dad was supposed to cut the cord? Loved Megan and Erin and but Amy and Lauren traumatized me and have made me too scared to ever have a baby again.

I switched from an OB to the midwives because my OB rushed through my visits snd was flippant when answering my questions. I enjoyed meeting each midwife throughout my appointments. Each midwife takes time to answer questions, make sure you're in the know about what to expect and what is coming up, and they have a calm and knowledgeable demeanor. I had a wonderful med free birth experience bringing my healthy baby girl into the world at St Luke's with their extremely sweet staff and the Lonestar midwife Erin.

Negative stars if I could. When you are pregnant, fat and tired the lest of your concerns is how the people that you pay outrageous amounts of money to provide services "feel" on any given day. They call me to reschedule my appointment and although a huge inconvenience I didn't get to upset because people sometimes make mistakes. However they reschedule my sonogram before lunch time and an regular appointment after lunch time on the same day, so I had to sit around and wait an hour for the midwife to come back from lunch. More importantly, the receptionist told me, "'I told you there was an hour wait when we spoke over the phone" when she didn't! As miserable and swollen everywhere I would have NOT agreed to that appointment. The sonogram was a butcher shop, trough the whole procedure I felt like a piece of meat being process for consumption, the woman who did it was in such a hurry that when she was done she STORMED out the door, believe it or not, to her surprise, I wasn't following her at her speed and she had to wait for me. I was huge and I could hardly get up, what was she expecting! Then they hand me a bill and when I asked what it was for they were baffled and slightly offended. I paid the bill and I had all intentions to pay whatever it was I just want to know what I'm paying for! I'm I the only one who asks what I'm paying? THEN, the NO ONE vitals taking medical aid on-line certificate holding girl tells that I HAVE to take a sugar test. When I told her that I would consider it, that I don't have to do anything that I don't want to do and that I would consult with the actual midwife she was ALSO offended. In any event, I went to a State Certified Birthing Center with AMAZING personable Certified Midwifes, and I had the BEST experience there.The routine sonograms were a joy the lab attendant was a sweetheart, everyone there was happy and happy to see you. No procedures or medicine was forced on me and they were more that happy to let me know what they were charging me for in detail. Bottom line, steer clear from this place, you want the real Midwife experience go to a Birthing Center.

Had my first child here, LOVE how they made me feel and how a stupid question wasn’t treated like a stupid question but always willing to talk it out. We will have all our babies with the midwives. Amy Bible specifically is an amazing woman with such compassion. Thanks for a great experience!
