I received great care and loved my providers (especially Dr. Luchin Wong and Dr. Amber Wood)

They kept me alive and brought my baby into this world healthy and happy. As a Black woman, I was beyond taken care of, heard, and valued. I picked them because of how hard it can be for a POC to get good healthcare professionals. 10/10 for people of color to come to this clinic.

I had a very complicated pregnancy and could not have chosen a more fantastic group of physicians to deliver my baby safely. I interacted with Dr. Vanderhoeven the most, and he has an incredible bedside manner and clinical acumen. Would highly recommend!
