Home Birth by Dr. Victoria Flores, MD OB/GYN

"Dr. Flores is an amazing provider with the perfect balance of medical knowledge and the midwifery model! This was my second breech birth at home. My first was a beautiful experience with Dr. Stu. By the time of my second pregnancy, he had moved out of state. When we discovered my second baby was breech yet again, we found Dr. Flores and sought to have an ECV attempted. She did an amazing job of creating a comfortable atmosphere for us to as she skillfully worked to turn my son. He was not interested in turning, and I am so thankful to her for trusting my body and baby enough to leave alone. After two attempts, we decided to deliver breech at home. Dr. Flores was such a calming presence during birth. She helped me try different positions when hands and knees wasn’t working for me. She also skillfully used a maneuver to give baby room to come a little quicker when his heart rate decelerated at the end. He came out beautifully, delivering his own head without assistance! She then stayed with us for several hours after delivery, which we greatly appreciated! I am so thankful for Dr. Flores- her experience and skill coupled with a joyous spirit make her an excellent provider who I would highly recommend!!"

"Dr. Victoria Flores is the perfect balance between professional and personable. She is warm and nurturing, competent and absolutely wonderful! She helped me feel confident in myself having a surprise pregnancy at 45. Having the option to choose an Ob/Gyn who honors the midwifery model of birthing is a unique and incredible opportunity. As someone who has had two home births with a midwife and one hospital birth (by choice), choosing Dr. Flores for my fourth pregnancy was the best possible choice I could have made. I loved every bit of my journey with Dr. Flores from week 8 to week 38 of my pregnancy, to the postpartum home visits, and to how inclusive she was with my husband and our three older daughters. I would highly recommend Dr. Flores! —Matina"

"Dr.Flores is a wonderful and sound resource in our community of out of hospital practitioners! As community midwives, we often rely upon our OB mentors to help guide us in more complex clinical situations, and Dr. Flores is always available and willing to lend her expertise in times of need. We are grateful for who you are and what you do! Thank you from Dos Midwifery and our mamas who you help!"

"As a new mom with a breech baby seeking a natural, healthy delivery I had to search far and wide to find the right provider. From the first consult, I knew Dr. Flores was the doctor for me! So confident, perceptive, kind and smart—I just intuitively felt that I was in good hands. Pregnancy/childbirth is such a transformational time and it really, really matters having a supportive birthing team that you connect with and trust. I am in incredibly grateful to Dr. Flores and her team. They gave me the greatest gift I could ask any health progressional for—the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have an amazing, highly skilled, and dedicated support team… it’s a great feeling! I basically felt like I had a team of angels. She welcomed (and encouraged!) all of my questions, valued my patient preferences, and the level of support and informed consent we received was simply the best. My birth experience was so peaceful, smooth, and relatively short—which I largely attribute to the calm home birth environment and the peace of mind with knowing we had such a great team. I hope more doctors follow in Dr. Flores’ footsteps—supporting women and the home birth model. We need more caring, kind, and talented MDs like her! She’s a blessing and it’s not an exaggeration to say she’s changing lives for the better every day! Our whole family will always be grateful for the positive birth experience that Dr. Flores and her colleagues helped make possible."

"As a homebirth midwife who has worked with hundreds of doctors over the past 18 years… working with Dr. Flores was a breath of fresh air. Immediately we were in sync with a cohesive team flow. She respected and allowed my client to have full autonomy with the birth of her twins. I would work with her again in heartbeat. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
