Wasatch Midwifery and Wellness

"I'm writing this while I am Fresh out the delivery room and resting at home with my new baby boy and almost 3 year old and our daddy. Adrianne's team is tight knit and amazing and not to mention her knowledge and expertise that is incomparable and priceless when delivering your new angel into this world. Giving birth is hard, scary and vulnerable. You may want to give up ! This team of wonderful wombmen we're so supportive and encouraging and knew exactally how to guide me and say what I needed to hear. My first birth was traumatizing ( not at the center) and this one was much smoother with their expertise and support. They encouraged me to listen to my body and I didn't tear !!! I'm exhausted but I feel so much better than last time. If I ever had another baby we will be here. These ladies are family now and I'm beyond words. If your not sure definitely take this route for a beautiful experience without fear tactics and hurrying like a hospital setting ! Their space is beautiful and so supportive to the mama and baby and family ! Can't say enough I love Adrianne! I love Cheryl ! I love Savannah & Rachel and Riley and Cait & Caitlin just the whole Team of wombmen ! Do not think twice you'll be so happy you went to this amazing facility. Thank you ladies I'm going to crash now next to my two babies 7 hrs old and 2.8 year old. So much love Btw I don't know why more ladies haven't taken the time to review them ! They are so busy here so many wombmen trusting in their practice. Don't hesitate."

"Second to choosing to have a baby, this is the best decision I made during my pregnancy. Every person that works here is an absolute angel. I couldn’t have imagined receiving better care as a first time mom. The facilities are beautiful but the people truly make it the best place for you to receive prenatal care, labor/delivery, and postpartum care. I’ve never felt more supported, empowered, and HEARD. You are given 24/7 access to the incredible midwives for questions you might have throughout your pregnancy and postpartum. They are quick to respond and extremely reassuring. I never felt rushed or embarrassed to ask questions during any of my appointments. I really don’t have a single complaint. Wasatch Midwifery is setting a new standard for women’s healthcare. I am forever grateful and hope that all women can feel how I felt throughout this incredible, intense, life-changing process. I hope this review will encourage many more women to receive their care through Wasatch. You won’t regret it! Sending all of our love and well wishes to future mamas! "

"This birth center was at the top of our list and we were so excited to check it out. The center here is beautiful; everything is clean and modern, compared to many of the birth centers in the salt lake area. My husband and I had been doing some family planning earlier this year and wanted to do our due diligence with finding a preferred birth center prior to pregnancy. I really wish my experience had been better than it was. Here’s a breakdown of my takeaway after two visits and several months of working with the staff here: -Our first visit was supposed to be a consultation with the midwife to ask some questions we had and make sure it was a good fit for our needs. We scheduled the visit ahead of time, filled out all the medical history and paperwork several days prior to our visit, arrived on time, and ended up waiting 45 minutes in the exam room with no info on how long we would be waiting. When Adrienne (the midwife) entered she sat down and asked us why we were there. Looking back, I realized that she herself had never looked over or signed any of the forms that required a midwife signature. I’m not sure if it was just overlooked, but to me that felt like she wasn’t invested in me as her patient. The rest of the visit went okay; she gave us a long list of things we needed to be doing to be healthy… we had let her know that we were very holistic focused and had already done parasite cleanses previously this year, and were also on several supplements and eating healthy. Even after giving her a brief overview of our habits, she continued to tell us several more things we needed to be doing, and I didn’t feel heard as the patient at all. I hoped that the next visit would be better, so we scheduled a second visit for a well woman exam. -at both of my visits I explained that we did not have insurance, but would be paying for services with our health share plan, and would need to be considered cash patients. Adrienne urged me to do at least two blood tests and a swab, so we did those despite explaining that our current financial position was not the best, and that our health share didn’t cover bloodwork. At the end of the appointment, I waited at the front desk to confirm how to move forward with payment, and they said there was nothing to take care of at the moment, but that I would receive an itemized bill in an email from them later. I left expecting to receive that fairly soon, so that I could submit the bill to my health share plan to request sharing (this was in September). -about a month after the visit, I had still not seen any emails or bills in my patient portal, so I called the office to request some information and to follow up. I called during business hours but no one picked up, so I left a voicemail. I never received a callback. I called several times after that and they said they would contact the lab company and have them call me about my bill with them. I ended up having to call the lab company myself in order to pay for the bill so that it didn’t show up as a late payment for me in my credit. A week later I called again and spoke with Adrienne, explaining that I had called the office multiple times and still had not received a bill from their office. She then told me that the bill should have been sent to my insurance company and that I should wait to hear back from them. I was shocked at the fact that I had told the office staff and Adrienne herself multiple times in person as well as over the phone that I needed an itemized bill because I was on a health share plan. Once I explained it to her she sent it a few days after our phone call. Today, 12/12, I was finally able to pay for a bill that should have been paid for back in September. -Overall I didn’t feel heard as a patient in multiple ways. Adrienne emphasized several times during my visits the need to reduce stress in my life prior to conception in order to support the pregnancy, and yet this experience has been at the top of my stressors so far. I’m so disappointed with my experience, and hope it’s better for those who choose to come here."

"Adrienne and the Wasatch Midwifery staff saved my baby’s life after delivery. They acted swiftly and effectively to ensure he was transported to the NICU for respiratory distress. I started my care with them late and I regret not starting my pregnancy care with them a lot sooner. I am forever in debt to them and grateful for their compassionate and competent care during the most most difficult and best day of our life."

"This review is LONG overdue! I gave birth at Wasatch Midwifery and Wellness back in January 2022 and haven't quit raving about it since! The care I received during all of all my prenatal visits, birth, and postpartum were unlike anything I ever thought they'd be. Each employee was caring, responsive and attentive...and don't even get me STARTED on Adrienne....truly one of the best humans out there!!! (I fangirl, hard!!!) She is INCREDIBLY skilled, educated and calm. She takes all the time needed with you. She explains and gives you options. She is a wealth of knowledge! She takes pride in her birth center and what each of her employee's has to offer. We have since moved to Alabama and at least once a month I have a "game planning session" with my husband to see how we can manage to be in Utah for the birth of any further children we have because there is NOTHING like the care given by Adrienne at Wasatch..I actually could go on and on, but, I think y'all get the point. PS: I am married to an engineer who, before delivering our baby with Adrienne, thought midwives/birth centers/homebirths were unsafe and dangerous...now he wouldn't have it any other way!"
