I had my son at MMC last year and had the best experience there. My childbirth experience was nothing like I expected, but it still went very well. I felt completely supported, respected, and genuinely cared for by the MMC staff and the doula I hired through MMC. I have continued to get my well woman care and will continue to do so as long as I am in the area. I highly recommend them!!

I’m in the Colorado Springs area, and use Merrie MacDowell, CPM for my well-woman care. I also get to wear my own clothes, and there are no stirrups involved. Very comfy bed (no papery table), and I can honestly say that her exams DON’T HURT. She is extremely gentle, and explains exactly what she’s doing and what it will feel like. I can’t say enough good about her. Her appointments tend to last at least 45 mins.

Her number is: 719-660-8721

I have to agree that Mountain Midwifery is awesome! I had my son there last year and at the beginning of my pregnancy with him I was with an OB/GYN and the difference in care is amazing. At Mountain Midwifery they treat you so well and it’s like you become part of their family. They take the time to get to know you and your family so you aren’t just another patient that gets pushed through the door so they can see the next one, like how I felt at the OB/GYN I had been with for many years. It’s also nice to be supported in birthing naturally, as when I told my OB/GYN that I wanted a med-free birth with my son, I was basically told “good luck with that”. Going to Mountain Midwifery, they really respected me and my birthing plans and didn’t make me feel silly for wanting a natural birth because that’s what they are about, which I did have and was an experience that I felt I needed. It’s really nice to have care from women who truly make you feel like they care about you and believe in you and will help you along the way. Mountain Midwifery is a great place!

I was going to say the same as Anisa! MMC and Julie Hughes are both great!

I agree that Mountian Midwifery is great. I also recently had a pap-smear done by Jen Anderson-Tarver, who is a student working with Julie Hughes of Mosaic Midwifery. She was gentle, their visits are a hour and I wore my own clothes (so I was under a blanket for the check).

Though I have a great family practice doc, I’ll stick with midwives for well woman care.
