I really enjoyed my experience at Best Start. All my prenatal care visits were laid back and getting to know the midwives was nice. The day of my birth I think what I remember the most is how calm the midwives were. Their energy is everything during that type of stress and they made me feel safe. I liked how knowledgeable and comfortable they are with the birthing process and in no way are rushed. I was scared to birth in a hospital setting and choosing best start was the best choice for me.

I am a new client at Best Start and I just found out my Dentist had her 2 sons at Best Start and absolutely loved it!!! I already feel so supported there! The clinic is SO beautiful and such a peaceful, relaxing environment which is exactly what I wanted and the staff and midwives are amazing. I couldn’t ask for anything better! This mommy to be feels very prepared and I can’t wait to continue my Journey at Best Start! Expecting baby boy in September.
