FAQ's:
Q. Can I choose which provider I want to see?
A. Yes. Only exceptions are "High Risk" & repeat Cesarean Section pregnancies.
Q. Do you have a 24 hour nurse line?
A. No. If you contact the office first thing in the AM, we can usually work you in for a same-day appointment if necessary. After hours in case of emergency go to the nearest hospital.
Q. Can I have a home birth with the midwife?
A. Sorry not at this time. Athena Medical does not carry insurance for the midwife to attend a home birth.
