Professional Clinical Care and Specialists
Beyond educational materials, the field relies on specialists providing professional and compassionate care.

They each earned a Doctor of Medicine degree and five additional years of post-graduate residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
These specialists offer individualized management of women's health issues for all ages. Drs. Strode, Dzaja, Ayre and Giffin offer preconception, prenatal, and postpartum care. They accept referrals from midwives, family physicians, and infertility clinics to assume care of routine or complicated pregnancy cases. They work with each family to find the most appropriate birth plan to optimize the health of both mom and baby.
