Our Certified Nurse-Midwives |
 |
In this most interesting profession of nurse-midwifery, one of the most common myths is "you only see pregnant women and deliver babies at home." Nothing could be further from the truth. What is a Certified Nurse-Midwife? She is a registered nurse with a master's degree in midwifery. Nurse midwives play a special and unique roll in women's health care. Their caring and compassionate qualities are well appreciated by their patients, as well as the extended time given for the office visit and the ease of scheduling appointments. They provide preconception and prenatal care, supporting women during labor and delivery in their chosen method of childbirth. Midwives are committed to their patient's particular needs, without sacrificing prudent medical interventions. In addition to obstetric care, they provide full scope gynecological care through annual exams,contraception, teen health exams and counseling, conventional and alternative therapies for perimenopause and menopause, testing and treatment for osteoporosis, and many other treatments and care related to women's health. Our midwives offer childbirth classes at the office, as well as non- stress testing and 3D/4D ultrasound. They deliver patients at Erlanger Hospital, Erlanger East, and Parkridge East Hospital.

I am so happy with my job and have come full circle, now working in the office where I first got my inspiration.”
