    Dr. Smith was kind, patient, and informative throughout the entire birth. She encouraged me to make choices about my experience that were the most comfortable for me. She described every part of the process in a way that was easy to understand, and guided me in a calm and intentional way. I am so thankful that Dr. Smith delivered my baby. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful.

    OB Care

    I was highly satisfied with my experience. I was induced on a Wednesday evening and Dr. Apel was on call that night. She came in to check me and said she’s auto’s wait until around 4 am to give me my first dose of pitocin because she wanted me to get some sleep first. I really appreciated this. The next morning Dr. Smith and the midwife Amber came in and took over my care. They were both extremely kind and informative about what was going to happen. Amber kept coming in to move me around to get babies heart rate y try I a better spot. When it was finally times to push they were both extremely supportive and walked me through the process. I would recommend the doctors of WLW over and over again to others.
