“Having Gina as my midwife is one of the best life decisions I’ve made…I chose Gina when I found out I was pregnant and desired a low-intervention birth in a hospital setting. While I was aware that the midwifery model was supposed to be more hands-on than that of a typical obstetrician’s, I never expected to feel so safe, so secure, and so respected as I did under Gina’s loving care…
My little family and I are very, very grateful for Gina and Community Midwifery.”

“I had the privilege of working with Cara while pregnant with our first baby. Throughout my journey with Cara--from preconception to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum-I felt seen, supported, and empowered. The care I received was personal and felt like a true partnership. My appointments never felt rushed, and no topic was off limits. When I had to make difficult decisions, she guided me with steadiness and compassion. Because I trusted her completely, I felt confident and empowered in each decision I made. There are no words big enough to capture my gratitude for the wisdom and heart she poured into my journey into motherhood. I’ll forever cherish our partnership during such a transformative and impactful time as a woman and mother. Thank you Cara!”

“Choosing Gina as my midwife was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am eternally grateful to her for making my pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience so positive. The level of care she provides is above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. This was my first baby, and Gina was incredibly generous with her time to make sure all my questions were answered and I was fully informed each step of the way. I had a beautiful, unmedicated birth at 41 weeks, and I believe my experience was only made possible because of how safe, supported, and empowered I felt in Gina's hands.”

“Everyone deserves a provider like Cara and I am so grateful that she was my midwife. While I initially chose the midwifery model because I was seeking a low intervention birth, I ended up experiencing a number of challenges during my pregnancy that classified me as higher risk. Cara was my rock and helped me navigate through all the ups and downs. She eased my concerns, advocated for me tirelessly, and I always felt respected, empowered, and supported. Cara worked closely with the hospital MFM team and ensured I was able to have my dream unmedicated birth, something I wasn’t sure was possible. She is also a genuinely lovely human and made birth fun!”

“Gina is amazing. I’d seen at least five different gynecologists in New York City before I found her practice, and I never felt as heard or seen as when I walked into her office for the first time. She operates from a non-judgmental place, and she trusts what you tell her about your own body. She’s efficient (always on time!), but I never feel rushed with her and appreciate her willingness to answer lots of questions. I also love that she only recommends medical interventions (like pap smears or ultrasounds) when they’re actually necessary!”

“From the moment I met Cara, I felt so wonderfully at ease and cared for - I transferred to her care midway through my pregnancy and it was the best decision I could have possibly made. Cara is so incredibly warm, attentive and caring, she is an amazing listener and really takes the time to get to know you and listen to what you have to say. Not to mention absolutely brilliant at her job! She would always respond to questions so quickly and with such fulsome answers, and has a gift for translating complex medical jargon into a language that anyone can understand. I truely could not imagine anyone I would rather have cared for me during my pregnancy and delivery, and will always feel so grateful to have been lucky enough to experience Cara’s beautiful care!”
