I delivered both my children with the midwives at the Center for Women's Health at Evergreen (5th floor), and both experiences were fantastic due to the compassionate care I received from them.
Deb Monson and Mary Bachko, in particular, are stellar, but all the midwives working in the group are wonderful. They take the time to spend with you at each appointment to answer any questions or allay any fears you may have.
At the birth, they are quite respectful of your wishes and try to work with you as best they can to follow any birth plan you may have. If, however, your birth isn't progressing, they gently offer options you and your partner may wish to try.
The only downside to the Center for Women's Health is that, if you're *not* pregnant, it can be very hard to schedule an appointment. They're quite busy all the time.
