I switched to this practice from another more "mainstream" OB practice around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and delivered our baby girl 4 weeks ago. As other reviewers have said, choosing Mindful Midwifery was one of the best decisions I've made in life, period. I literally cannot imagine receiving better quality care. I was primarily under the care of Kristin, but had the opportunity to meet all four doctors, who are uniformly knowledgeable, intelligent, caring, genuine, and have excellent bedside manners. Kristin in particular is simply wonderful. From beginning to end, I felt that I was in good hands, and in retrospect she made all the best possible decisions and designed the best possible care plan for my pregnancy, and I trusted her advice completely. Unlike other OB practices where a pregnant woman can be made to feel like a commodity, Kristin and her team took at least 15-20 minutes to really *talk* to me and my husband at every appointment, *in addition* to the time spent on actual medical procedures. She coached us on what we needed to be thinking about at every stage of the pregnancy (as first-time parents, we were pretty clueless and didn't even know what questions to ask, so having a pro who offers proactive advice was very helpful). Dr. Abdelhak, who was on call when I went into labor and delivered my baby, is efficient, sure-handed, and hilarious. As a business, their office is run admirably well and every aspect of the operations very smooth, from making appointments, getting lab results, to dealing with payments and insurance. The facilities at 21 McWilliams Place are brand new, clean, and zen-like, with a beautiful park right outside the front door. The receptionists, nurses, and technicians are smart and nice. Every interaction felt personal and I knew everyone in the office by first name very quickly, and vice versa. There's an ultrasound room on premise so I conveniently received frequent growth scans, which were very reassuring to have in late pregnancy, without having to go anywhere else. The hospital affiliated with the practice, Hackensack UMC, is also excellent and worthy of the affiliation. Becoming new parents is such a nerve-wracking, intimate, monumental, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I am so glad that Mindful Midwifery was here to help us navigate through it. This is healthcare at the platinum level, as good as it gets!
