Karen Shields CNM – Gentle Beginnings

Shame on you for denying me service. I’ve had 2 csections and 3 VBACs (2 home water births). You should be ashamed to call yourselves midwives.

Karen Shields is a wonderful midwife. I work in the women’s health field, and I chose her because she understands women’s needs better than many other practitioners in the area. She is very warm and caring. She always takes time to be personable and never makes you feel like you’re on an assembly line like some doctors do. She labors with her patients for hours, unlike some practitioners who don’t come in until 2 minutes before the baby is ready to fall out. What’s also great about Gentle Beginnings is her staff. Her nurses and her secretary Bonnie are very thorough. They make sure that all t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted. You’ll never have problems with billing or insurance precertifications because they take care of everything. I love Karen; she’s really wonderful.
