Santiam Women's Clinic

"Love this clinic! We recently just had our first baby, and used Santiam Women’s Clinic providers throughout the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. All of the staff make you feel like part of a family, and genuinely care about you and your little one. Missy went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable, and to address any worries or concerns I had. She is very thorough and takes preventive measures to ensure you are in good hands. During labor and delivery, she was very “straight to the point”, which I appreciate. We will definitely be using this clinic again when it’s time to grow our family!"

"I went to this clinic when pregnant with my 4th child. The doctor told me I was miscarrying and had a blighted ovum. She drew blood and then chose not to draw blood a second time in a few days stating that my hcg levels were high enough she "should have seen something on the ultrasound." I measured 6 weeks. It was devastating and a week from hell. I ended up getting a second opinion for free from Hope pregnancy clinic because the dr at Santiam wouldn't even do a second blood draw to see if my levels were rising. She offered mifipristone instead. Disgusting. Turns out she was WRONG. My baby is alive today, and I am so thankful I didn't believe her and take that drug that would have killed my son. She put me and my husband through a week of hell and despair for no reason. My midwives at Legacy Silverton were a million times better, AND they allowed me to have a second successful VBAC, something santiam refused to even consider. Why would a hospital not allow a mom to attempt a VBAC after a prior successful VBAC and a successful vaginal birth? Dollar signs? Despicable. Do not go here."

"My first visit to this office to start my OBGYN history with a new Doctor. Dr Renard and nurse staff Lexi were welcoming, accommodating, friendly and informative. I enjoyed the Doctor's straight forward approach with complete explanations. They were gentle with me during a procedure and helpful afterwards. I'm glad I picked this place to start a new history with new Doctor."

"I transferred care with my first baby and staff were nice but I decided to transfer to a free standing birth center. During delivery I had to be transferred to Santiam hospital and the delivery team was amazing. I’m pregnant again but still want to have my natural birth at the birth center. I have a very serious condition that needs fixed ASAP as it is life threatening to both the baby and myself. My nurse midwife wanted me to go see an OB for this so when I called Santiam, I was very shocked and disappointed when they told me that if I am not transferring all my OB care to them, fully knowing they are my backup for delivery, and fully knowing that my uterus can rupture, they said they would not help me. When it comes down to it, they are all about the money and not helping someone out."

"The whole team of staff is incredibly kind, informative and truly cares. We have delivered two heathy babies here and loved our experience from everyone involved. We have also gone through loss and a D&C with these staff members. Through that experience I felt so much compassion and empathy and was handled with great care. I appreciate the feeling of being known at this clinic and not lost in the crowd."
