Should I consider a Nurse-Midwife instead of an obstetrician or gyn physician?
Midwives have a long tradition of caring for women. Indeed, midwife means “with woman”. Today’s Certified Nurse-Midwife carries on this proud tradition combining rigorous scientific, clinical and academic training with genuine sensitivity to clients and their care. Your nurse-midwife is qualified to provide primary well-woman gynecological care throughout the life cycle as well as OB care when you are pregnant. If at any point in your care it is deemed advisable, your nurse-midwife will consult with and/or refer you to an appropriate specialist. By choosing a nurse-midwife, you may truly receive the best of both worlds.
