Midwives Make a Difference

Forget what you think you know about Midwives! “Midwife” is translated “with woman” and there have been midwives since the dawn of time. At Physicians and Midwives, our midwives are Certified Nurse Midwives with undergraduate and advanced degrees in nursing and midwifery, as well as extensive training in Women’s Health and Obstetrics. You may schedule all of your routine GYN care with the midwives, including, but not limited to annual exams with PAP smear, birth control consults and common gynecological problems.

Midwifery is often associated with home births and birth centers. However, it is becoming more and more common for hospital obstetrics teams to include midwives.

Midwives can provide full-service obstetrics care for a normal, low-risk pregnancy. A midwife can see patients from pre-conception through pregnancy, through delivery and the postpartum period.
