I'm going there now. Due in July. I am happy so far with the level of service. I have only dealt with Donna Roosa so far--she's very laid back and explains everything in detail. Never felt rushed. I haven't asked many questions yet--that will be my next appt. and I am curious to see how my questions are answered. I have read mixed reviews on both extremes, but I personally have no complaints yet. I think it's still better than an ob-gyn if you're low risk--midwives are usually more emotionally interested and can do pretty much everything an ob-gyn would do with a low risk patient.
