Words cannot express how happy I am with Kootenai Clinic! All of the staff have been incredibly supportive over the last several months as we prepared for our first baby.
Last year, we had a miscarriage & I was incredibly unhappy with how a different OBGYN handled things. When we came to Kootenai Clinic, each & every nurse & doctor were incredibly kind, sensitive & very aware that I had experienced this tough loss. We were able to meet with each midwife on staff to make sure we knew each one before delivery - all of them are so sweet & truly care about you.
When my water broke, I called in & was quickly transferred to Faith, who was on call that morning. She was quick to ease my fears (even at 1am in the morning!). She told me we would need to be in the hospital by 12pm to prevent infection, but she called around 930am to check in with me - & because things weren't moving along, she told us to go ahead & come in early. Both Faith & Ashley were both there & walked me through every little detail of how the birth would work, they were there by my side throughout the entire process & I felt incredibly safe. They stood by my decision to not have an epidural. They were consistently telling me that I could do it - & I did!
The hospital staff that assisted were INCREDIBLY helpful. Not only did we feel taken care of, we felt pampered! Truly the best experience - better than I ever could have hoped for when it came to our first baby & the crazy experience that comes with that.
THANK YOU Kootenai Clinic!!!
