The Quilted Health midwives are incredible. I went with Quilted Health all through my pregnancy and delivery and I cannot express how thankful I am for this group of care providers. During every appointment I felt so seen and listened to and cared for, so educated and guided through each step, never pressured but always informed. They are beyond professional without being sterile. My labor and delivery was so amazing thanks to my team in the room. Never felt so supported and in such good hands. Would highly and without hesitation recommend Quilted Health and all of the midwives there to anyone looking for care during their pregnancy and after.
I had high hopes for this clinic. From what I read, I thought I would be getting a less clinical approach. I was wrong. I consistently left feeling stupid and like my questions could never be adequately answered. They offer it feels one type of birth. I got different info from different midwives about a couple different subjects which left me feeling confused and very much like I couldn’t trust them. I wanted to decline a few tests as I felt them unnecessary and I was even followed into the bathroom once because “I needed to do the pee test” after I’d told two midwives I saw no need for it. Visits often felt cold and like we were just following procedure. They also only successfully drew my blood once - I know sometimes smaller veins make it difficult, but I lost a lot of confidence in them every time it came to a blood draw. I also felt there was a small amount of fear mongering when it came to “standard procedure” of birth and pregnancy in a hospital setting and I was looking for maybe a clinic with providers more open and knowledgeable to natural pregnancy care and labor. When I had concerns about things, I often felt like a burden and like I needed to just be quiet and say, “okay, whatever you say” which is not me and not what I thought I would get here. I feel like there are too many midwives to really get to know any one well enough to truly trust them. I kept waiting for it to get better and it never did and I ended up switching to another clinic at 34 weeks because I just couldn’t trust them to care for me and my baby. Definitely bummed as I was excited to have a little faith in the medical system but I was disappointed again.
The midwives at Quilted Health are amazing. Although its hard to get to know them all personally through a single pregnancy, let me assure you they will all listen to you and advocate what YOU want during your birth! And thats what really matters! None of them made me feel ridiculous for having anxiety or concerns, which was somewhat often because pregnancy hormones are wild. Ive had two successful birthing experiences with through the midwives--the most recent one was in May. I was having really painful contractions and the nurses were putting me on edge, making me feel unheard, and irritable, then Julie arrived promptly and I instantly felt at peace. She immediately let me get into the bath so I could be comfortable and let my husband and I have some time to ourselves. Our baby boy arrived shortly after that. I told the midwives I felt rushed after having my first baby and so Julie waited with us for the whole two hours before we switched rooms, to ensure that I didnt have that experience this time around.So, although at times during the clinic visits I sometimes had my doubts as to if they were a good fit for me, when it came down to the most important things, the midwives always came through and made me feel heard and cared for. I would totally go through them again if I were to have another baby.
Everyone and everything about this clinic is absolutely incredible. The midwives are super knowledgeable and always empathetic. I love how long the appointments are and how freaking adorable the clinic is!! It doesnt feel like a traditional healthcare space which is calming and puts me at ease.All my questions were treated seriously and with respect, even the ones I felt dumb asking. I especially love that there is respect for both the medical and non-medical ways of doing things (ie epidural vs deep breathing through labor for pain relief). These midwives are top-notch and I highly recommend them for both pregnancy and gynecology care!
Very disappointed in my experience with the new clinic. I was initially excited for the midwife team coming from NW OBGYN. Masheed, Lisa, Charlie were all fantastic with my first two babies. But with my third pregnancy, I am two weeks post and even still with my follow ups, I don’t feel comfortable or confident in the midwives I’ve had to see. It feels like the overall health of the patient gets lost in my visits. Lack of connection. The midwives that I felt good care from and showed up for me during my pregnancy was Julie, Jane, Fleur and Masheed (the last, who is sadly no longer with the clinic) . These wonderful midwives, even though they were medical professionals, made me feel like they were right with me, partners in my journey. The other midwives I met with, made me feel the opposite and as if they were just checking boxes on a list. I came into my follow up and the intake nurse thought it was my 37 week checkup and was confused about my weight loss. I feel they keep missing the notes on my file. I don’t feel like my husband was welcomed in our visits, and it’s very apparent with the card I had to complete each visit, about domestic abuse, which I’ve asked to remove that from my file but it kept getting presented. The whole reason we stayed with the midwives was because they welcomed the presence of my spouse and his contribution to my whole health. We felt like he was outcasted which hurt every time. I was worried how the delivery was going to go, due to my experience in the clinic on this, but Jane and Julie did a great job of including my husband in everything. I am grateful to them.These are things I should not have to experience especially during such a special time in our lives.I also have to highlight that in the beginning I experienced 24/7 nausea for the first 3-4 months of my pregnancy which put me into mild depression, the midwife I met with where I tried to open up to about this was very cold and described my feelings of “being in the dumps” . It was a hard perception to accept especially from someone I thought would want to help me. Mental health issues should never be described as just “being in the dumps”. It didn’t seem very important to her. I am grateful to my support group as they all show up for me to help me work through this.
I sought care elsewhere halfway through pregnancy because the care at this office was inconsistent. I got different information from one provider to the next, I had to call multiple times for my prescriptions to be sent in, and they were not flexible with allowing me to choose my care (nor did they ever ask about my birth plan or preferences for the entire time I was seeing them). I transferred to Providence and immediately felt more at ease.
A large portion of the reason I selected this office was because the approach was to be less clinical and more of a tailored approach towards childbirth. What appealed to me was the promise that Quilted Health was not a Dr’s office and did not view childbirth as a one size fits all. I was hesitant because there were multiple providers however, I was assured “we take great notes and make sure that each patient gets individualized care”. Had that been the case I do not think I would be leaving their office. There are multiple items where we were misinformed by different providers at Quilted Health, to the fact that I as a patient feel betrayed by a group of people I was planning to entrust with the birth my child. There were a list of things promised to my partner and I as patients and none of them were upheld, we were told that we would have the option for some appointments to be telehealth, due to our commute, that did not happen. They told us the notes section would be used to ensure we did not repeat ourselves at every appointment, that did not happen. I let them know of something that triggered me at my first appointment, they said it would not come up unless it was a concern, that was not the case. I never went into Quilted Health without that topic being brought up and being made to cry by the providers. Additionally, topics were brought up over and over again. I declined testing as we already had results, but they still tried to pressure me into that testing again, which would total $275 after insurance my partner and I were both frustrated with that and vocalised that frustration. Every appointment it seemed came with a charge for one thing or another, they are not clear with their pay transparency in any way.Overall, I cannot and will not recommend this office to anyone. Their lack of intra office communication is unacceptable and creates unnecessary redundancy for patients. Additionally, they blatantly lied to my partner and I which is not a healthy way to have a relationship with a patient who was entrusting them with the birth of their child.
Honestly the best experience for my prenatal care and the birth of my son. Any questions I had was answered, any concern was listened to and addressed. When it came time to deliver my son I was lucky enough to start pushing right during the shift change so I had 2 midwives there. The support was amazing and I am grateful I went with Quilted for this pregnancy.
I was blown away by the level of care and common sense at this clinic! Instead of stacking appointments to get the most out of health insurance payouts, they scheduled things in a way that best suited me and actually prioritized my care. Id give this place 10 stars if I could; these ladies are amazing!!!! Theyre dedicated to your comfort and care first.
Quilted health is amazing. All the staff is kind. They are very professional and make an uncomfortable appointment so much easier. I am a very shy person with anxiety for appointments. I always feel heard leaving. All my questions and concerns are answered. My appointments don’t feel rushed. I feel less embarrassed about my body and empowered after every appt. I want to thank Quilted health for making my appointments so easy! And thank you for always being so kind!Looking forward to my future baby journey with you all!
Had my baby with these midwives when they were still named NW Midwives, but its still the same group. They are amazing!! Each appointment I felt heard and taken of - I had 100 questions and I never felt rushed or ignored. They always took the time to answer and make me feel take care of. I had a difficult labor and birth, and I know it would have been so much more difficult without the support of my midwives. Im very thankful for this team and everything they did for me during my pregnancy and birth. I highly recommend Quilted Health.
I had to transfer care extremely late in my pregnancy due to continuously falling through the cracks and not receiving adequate care. I ultimately met with another practice only twice before going into labor. I had to have an emergency c section and my baby has died. I believe if I had received adequate care throughout the pregnancy the outcome would be different. I was just horribly mismanaged and ignored. I had to call, sometimes multiple times in one week, in order to get them to follow through with their own plan of care. These lovely people are still sending me bills, $5 here $15 there, for labs completed several months ago.They should have completely stopped seeing patients while transitioning to quilted health instead of assuming care without being able to actually provide it.Beware of this practice. See an established practice, and always advocate for yourself.
I absolutely loved Quilted health! The midwives were fantastic and I had an amazing pregnancy and birth because of them. They really put my preferences first and were thorough in every visit. They made me feel valuable and important. I would highly recommend!!
Forever grateful for the midwives at Quilted Health! I was absolutely terrified of birth and they helped answers my questions, calm my fears, and remind me that I could do it! Big shout-out to Mahshid and Fleur who attended my birth. We were in such good hands 💜
This office provides the level or care that women deserve and should be considered the gold standard. The providers and support staff are caring, kind, and compassionate . I felt seen and heard throughout my entire experience. Truly the best in the area - I wouldnt go anywhere else.
Delivered my first with these midwives and am back with my third. They are all super friendly, helpful and considerate as to how you want your birth to look! Very happy to be back with them :)
Thank you for making my pregnancy feel more comfortable and easier. ❤️
Absolutely love these midwives! They’re there through every concern, emotion, and goal I have. Both through pregnancy and with gynecological needs! Highly recommend!
Super cute office, staff is awsome, and nice respectful and supportive
