“We loved the individualized attention that Crystal and Melissa gave to us every time we came for a check-up and especially during labor and delivery. Their genuine enthusiasm about our pregnancy and upcoming birth was heartwarming. Throughout the process we both felt very informed and involved. Our wishes for our delivery were made possible by utilizing Avanlee Birth Center; a traditional hospital could not have met our expectations. We will undoubtedly return to Avanlee Birth Center for the birth of our future children”.
—Allen & Daffney Hoffman

“At Avanlee Birth Center, it is all about the mother. Our desire is given top priority. The midwives were such a support system during my pregnancy. I was never rushed and felt as if they really cared about me and my baby. The atmosphere is so relaxed in contrast to the stark white walls, bright lights, and constant beeping at a hospital”.
—Dr. Neil and Janene Graeff

“This was my first pregnancy, so I had no idea what to expect. The midwives educated me and prepared me very well for labor and delivery. They always informed me as to what they were doing, why they were doing it, and the outcomes. I was given so much personal attention during my pregnancy. I felt as if I was the only one that mattered….in fact I’m trying to get pregnant again. That is how wonderful Avanlee is. Labor/delivery was actually fun, if that is possible. I was very relaxed and felt very supported by Crystal & Melissa.”
—Chris & Debra Colvin

"Cathy and I both want to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We all have spiritual gifts, yours was the exact one we needed. Thank you for blessing our family so much."
