What our patients are saying

Heather is phenomenal. I’ve told her this before, but growing up I never wanted children because I was petrified of labor / delivery / recovery. You hear horror stories on social media and so I was set - no children. Imagine my surprise when my husband and I found out we were expecting last year. I’d have to face my fears. I spent 9 months just going down a rabbit hole of what was going to go wrong. Labor and delivery came and she was amazing. She came often to update me. She made sure I was comfortable. She walked me through everything she was doing and why. She was encouraging and cheered me on while pushing and exhausted. It was also cool to see her teaching a colleague (who she had help deliver the baby and stitch me up). Because of Heather and Stephanie I am no longer afraid of having children and look forward to having one, possibly two more.

Heather Helton is exceptional. She’s professional, sweet and cares about her patients. She answers all the questions that I have and I don’t feel rushed.

Heather is wonderful. She is authentic, genuinely cares and listens. These characteristics make the experience 5+ stars.

Heather is awesome. She takes time to talk to you and never acts too rushed to answer your questions.

I cannot rave about Heather enough. She is attentive and puts you at ease and has helped me tremendously throughout my pregnancy.
