Newborn Care Visit

Eleanor treats you with nothing but respect. It’s so hard to find a healthcare provider that makes you feel heard and cared for like she does. I felt like my concerns were validated and I never once felt silly for having those concerns. Hands down one of the best healthcare providers I’ve ever experienced.

Childbirth / Labor & Delivery

Eleanor is simply the best. From a clinical standpoint, she is highly knowledgeable and is able to provide information from a clinical standpoint as well as an anecdotal one. She truly cares about her patients and has, on more than one occasion, been able to help me navigate important decision making about my prenatal care while continuing to remain supportive and make me feel empowered and confident about my choices. I was fortunate to be able to see Eleanor throughout my entire prenatal experience. I felt very safe and well taken care of knowing that she was ready to advocate for me and my needs. On the day I went into labor, Eleanor was able to make it to the hospital and assist in delivering my daughter despite not being on call that day. That meant the absolute world to me and completely helped shape my birthing experience that day. Eleanor is an excellent provider and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.
