  • Mar 28, 2024

    Carrie was great, as always. She went over the questions I had that weren't related to the reason for my visit, and was very thorough about my exam and recommendations based on her exam.

  • Mar 27, 2024

    Midwife Carrie was great. I will return to see her.

  • Sep 28, 2023

    Very receptive to my current pregnancy questions, gave in depth explanations, and even provided additional information I didn't know about upcoming birth control options.
