Dr. M T. Baghdadi, MD 1901 South Union Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98405

"Dr. Baghdadi delivered both of my sons via C-section. I came to him a nervous wreck as I had lost my first pregnancy late term. Yes he is very direct and to the point but at no time did I feel he was insensitive or that I wasnt in the best medical care. I loved my experience with him and completely trust him. So sorry to hear about poor reviews."

"Dr. Baghdadi naturally delivered my huge 10 lb 6 oz son with a shoulder dystocia with the McRoberts maneuver w/o an episiotomy. I transferred from the Birthing Inn after a long 30 hours in active labor. I had never met him prior to my son's birth. He was amazing and fought to give me the natural vaginal birth I wanted rather than a c-section for such a large baby. I pushed for 3 hours and he was there the entire time giving me his full attention. He is an amazing doctor!"

"Dr Baghdadi is incredible and we highly recommend him! I was not anticipating being under his care, but my labor was not progressing as we had hoped with our midwife and we decided to transfer into his care. Thank God we did. I had an emergency c-section and felt so much peace, in what could have been very stressful, with the entire process. Dr Baghdadi exuded a calm, confident demeanor and both me and my baby were well taken care of under him. If another pregnancy is in our future, we will get under Dr Baghdadi’s care from the beginning!"

"I had 6 children and 3 of them were born at the Birthing Inn. When I was pregnant 7th time, we found out that we are expecting twins. Since a midwife can not deliver twins at the birthing inn, she recommended Dr. Baghdadi to me. He is the referral that she gives to her patients that might have a high risk pregnancy, or need to deliver a baby at a hospital. Dr. Baghdadi was my doctor from 20 weeks of my pregnancy with twins. When I went into labor both of my babies were head down and it was not until baby A was born, things changed very quickly. My cervix started closing, and doctor tried vacuum, delivering breech, to avoid doing c-section. But our baby B was distressed and her heart rate dropped very low. Dr. had to make a quick decision and do an emergency c-section. Our baby girl was born 10 minutes later. I was amazed at Drs. quick response, as it was minutes and even seconds that he had in saving our baby's life. This was an extremely crucial time out of my whole pregnancy and the doctor did an amazing job in delivering our two precious babies. Even though c-section is not what I had in mind, I think he made the best possible decision. I would definitely recommend this doctor!"

"I came to Dr. Baghdadi at 28 weeks pregnant, seeking a VBA3C. He agreed to let me try to labor until week 40 of my pregnancy. I'd never felt so empowered or hopeful about a birth before, especially after enduring birth trauma from baby #1 at another hospital. From the start, Dr. Baghdadi and his team were straight shooters and extremely professional. At every appointment, I left feeling cared for and respected. I knew without a doubt that I was in the hands of "the best". At every appointment, I was given options and my opinion and desires were valued by the entire team. During the final weeks of pregnancy, it became apparent that a VBAC was not a viable option for me. Because Dr. Baghdadi had taken such great care of me and had given me options at every turn, I developed a deep respect for him and agreed to my fourth cesarean (the first under his care). I am so grateful I did because Dr. Baghdadi literally saved my life and the life of my son. It turns out that there was a window in my uterus and it could've ruptured, had I gone even a day or more into my pregnancy. Following the surgery, Dr. Baghdadi stapled my incision and placed a Pico pack on, speeding up the recovery process. Within a week of delivery, my incision site was nearly healed! This is a miracle for me, as I'd always experienced severe complications from the other surgeries. When I went back in to have my staples removed, it was like greeting family. Again, I felt so respected and cared for. For years, I'd wondered why there wasn't a standard of care within the obstetrics community. I now have a new standard and will accept nothing less than what Dr. Baghdadi offers. He is absolutely the best there is. From his front desk receptionists to his midwife, to his own skilled hands, there is absolutely no one better equipped to care for you throughout pregnancy and postpartum healing."
