Although I know she has many patients, the time and care that Alice gave during my visit made me feel like I was her only patient. I had several concerns to ask about, and she never made me feel rushed.

I can’t thank Alice enough for her compassion and empathy she provided me during an extremely hard time. I was offered an immediate appointment which I am so thankful for. She explained everything so well and never once made me feel like my feelings were invalid. The McFarland midwifes are hidden gems and cannot be more grateful for them.

Alice takes the time to get to know her patients. I don’t feel rushed or that I’m taking up too much of her time. She really listens and offers suggestions/ support/plan for my healthcare. I moved 2 hours away but will continue to come back because of how comfortable Alice makes me feel. One can feel very vulnerable when sitting in an exam room, but Alice makes it very easy to be able to discuss any concerns I may have.
