Common complaints

  • Long wait times for appointments

  • Concerns about the focus of the practice on exclusively physiological births without adequate medical guidance for other needs

"I had the water birth I dreamed of and my family was shocked how quickly I was back home and recovering. My midwife, Kim, was so comforting and trustworthy and my nurse Jamie always knew exactly what I needed!"

— Client birth stories on official website

"I would give 100,000 stars if I could. I had my first unmedicated birth (3rd baby) just 6 weeks ago at the Trū Birth Center and it was the best decision I could have made."

— Review on LocalityBiz

"It took me about 2 hours to be seen by the practitioner, the whole visit cost me about 3 hours of my life. The midwife I saw was very jaded and apathetic, hardly seemed interested in me as a patient..."
