This was THE BEST gynecological experience Ive ever had. The provider, Christian, was incredibly diligent and made sure to get my consent before every step of the procedure. Even though I was recovering from a yeast infection and my vagina was inflamed, I didnt feel any discomfort or sensitivity during the pap smear. Christian was patient, took things slowly, and made me feel completely safe, secure, and heard throughout the entire process.I also want to highlight that this clinic offers 3 free services for Black patients, which is an amazing opportunity. Im looking forward to my upcoming craniosacral therapy session and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone, especially Black women, seeking compassionate and affirming gynecological care.
I really appreciate the prenatal care I received! Ive never had an OB take the time to really address my concerns as thoroughly as this midwife did. We spent an hour going over my diet, health history, labs, symptoms, doula questions, etc. I feel much more at ease with a game plan to continue my pregnancy in the healthiest way possible and head into my third trimester confident about delivery.
We would not have opted to have a home birth without knowing that Christian could be a part of it. She is not only compassionate and genuine, she is also reliable and extremely capable. Christian is informative, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Shes also a talented herbalist and has all sorts of amazing prenatal and postnatal products to offer that she makes herself. She always came to visit with a smile and you can tell she truly loves what she does. She is a true gem of the Los Angeles midwifery community and soon shell be so booked you wont be able to hire her. We completely trusted her with the delivery of our baby, and she has been an irreplaceable support throughout.
Christian has been a wonderful resource throughout all three of my pregnancies. I have turned to her with my questions regarding vaccinations, birthing techniques and positions, post-birth care, etc. and she has always provided very thoughtful responses, guidance and reading materials. Christian is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about all areas of pregnancy and I completely trust and respect her. If we didnt live on opposite coasts, she would be delivering my next child!
I don’t think any words could ever express our full gratitude for Christian. She is an amazing person and an even better midwife. She takes her time getting to know you in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. I looked forward to our appointments! Any questions or concerns we had were addressed, and she provided resources so we could make informed choices. I had a long labor and she was a guiding light the entire time. When I had any concern, she was right there, even at 2am. We couldn’t imagine anyone else being there for us during this life changing experience.
I dont have enough words to describe the care given to me and my family by Christian Toscano. She is a gifted midwife. Truly. Shes compassionate, intelligent, professional, caring and down-to-earth. Her knowledge of herbal medicine was the perfect compliment to her midwifery care. Do yourself a favor and hire her. It is the best, first-parenting decision we made!
