In patients' words

"If you're going to work in this profession you need to have people and social skills. I did not get that connection with Rene. I had found out I had miscarriage there was no sympathy. I felt like I was a ticket."

Healthgrades patient review of Rene Smit, CNM

"They never rushed my appointments and always took time to listen to my concerns."

Chesapeake Family feature on Bay Area Midwifery

"Horrible place, the manager does not have any over-site, the midwives lie to your face about your results they want to force women to go to 'fetal maternal medicine' which probably has the worst..."
