This place is literally heaven on Earth. I am so grateful to be a patient at this practice where I can honestly say that I'm treated like family. Gentle Birth welcomed me with open arms during a moment of desperation and it has been the best decision to transfer my care here. My midwife Krisa has been so understanding, patient, and kind throughout this whole process. From the ladies at front desk, to the medical assistants, to the financial department, everyone at this practice treats you with the same tenderness. There is no other place in the world I would rather bring my baby earthside into. Less

Everyone who works here is wonderful and truly cares about their patients. I look forward to birthing my sweet girl here! I also wanted to give a special shoutout to Mary who was so sweet and personable.

I am new to this birthing center. I had my 3rd visit today. All of the staff I have met are very pleasant and kind. They are also very helpful with answering any questions I may have. I love the atmosphere of the facility. It’s very warm, cozy, and friendly. I can’t wait until I’m able to deliver baby #2 at this center.

Very lovely people work here! Loving my prenatal appointments, can't wait to birth here as well!

My wife and I are having our first baby and our experience has been better than we could hope for! Our midwife Christ-Ann has been extremely attentive and calmed down any nerves we've had with becoming new parents. I recommend EVERYONE to come here to have their healthiest and happiest baby possible!

Expensive to give birth here but a very relaxing appointment. I was in a queen size been for my ultrasound. I’ve never felt more comfortable even my husband was comfortable. It felt like home. Which is nice, I don’t like doctors that much.

I recommend this center if you are seeking a natural birth or water birth! The staff is very accommodating and will honor your desires for your birth. They also provide great prenatal & pregnancy care and always willing to work with my schedule for appointments. They are very patient focused so they will honor your desires and needs!

Very nice, small center that has made my experience calm. The midwife is very nice and makes me feel comfortable going into this for the first time. Their birthing suite price is affordable for self pay which has relieved a lot of stress. Will definitely be coming here again for any future pregnancies, especially now that I have heard they are offering home births services.

I have had such a great experience at Gentle Birth Center so far! Our tour of the center was very thorough and we had ample time to ask Christina all of our questions.

The medical assistant, midwife, and ultrasound tech I met with at my first appointment were all so friendly and welcoming. Krisa has continued to be such a warm and kind midwife. I always look forward to my appointments with her. I also love that I was able to get all of my bloodwork and my ultrasound done right at the center without having to make extra appointments. It is also convenient that the birth center is located in the western communities. It is so nice not to have to drive into town for appointments! Lastly, Suzane Bacelar, the photographer for the birth center, is so great to work with. She took video and photos of our last baby and they turned out so beautifully! - Meg @vintagerootshome Less

Great staff and very helpful and friendly!

What a safe haven Gentle Birth has been for me! When my OB/GYN dropped me as a patient at 7 months pregnant I was distraught. I came to Gentle Birth and they treated me as if I were family. I have never felt so heard and so loved at a Doctor's office as I do now. I recommend every woman to trust these individuals with one of the most important moments of your life! You won't regret it!

This place is wonderful I highly recommend for first time mothers if I was able to get pregnant as a man this would be the only place I would want to give birth The staff is incredible they are like family The place feels like home LITERALLY they birthing room are like your bedroom at home HIGHLY RECOMMEND

As a soon to be parent and now a new mom, choosing the right birth center for prenatal care and delivery can feel like hard decision. From the moment I stepped through the doors of the Gentle Birth Center, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility. The soothing ambiance, coupled with the friendly smiles of the staff, immediately put me at ease. Their commitment to holistic care and personalized attention was evident from the outset. One of the most striking aspects of my prenatal care at the Gentle Birth Center was the emphasis on forming meaningful connections with the midwives and office staff. Unlike traditional medical settings where appointments can feel rushed and impersonal, each visit to the birth center felt like a cherished encounter with individuals who genuinely cared about my well-being and every visit with the midwife was between 30 and 45 min. The midwives at Gentle Birth Center specifically, Krisa had a wealth of knowledge and expertise, but what truly sets them apart is their dedication to empowering parents-to-be. Throughout my pregnancy, they took the time to listen to my concerns, address my questions, and provide invaluable guidance every step of the way. Whether discussing birth plans, exploring pain management options, or offering emotional support, they approached each interaction with empathy and respect. The birth center's commitment to promoting natural childbirth in a safe and supportive environment resonated deeply with my own birthing preferences. The spacious birthing suites are thoughtfully designed to create a serene and intimate setting, complete with cozy furnishings, soft lighting, and comforting amenities. This nurturing environment allowed me to embrace the birthing process with confidence and serenity, surrounded by the loving presence of my partner and the experienced midwifery team. In addition to the exceptional prenatal care and birthing facilities, the Birth Center also offers a wide range of educational resources and support services for expectant parents. From childbirth classes and breastfeeding workshops to postpartum care and parenting guidance, the birth center strives to empower families with the knowledge and skills they need to embark on their parenting journey with confidence and assurance. In conclusion, my experience at Gentle Birth Center exceeded all expectations and surpassed any preconceived notions I had about prenatal care and childbirth. The compassionate care, holistic approach, and nurturing environment provided by the dedicated team of midwives and staff truly transformed my pregnancy journey into a deeply enriching and empowering experience. For expectant parents seeking a haven of support, guidance, and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Gentle Birth Center as a beacon of excellence in prenatal care and childbirth. Less

I had to call back multiple times for the same request because they couldn’t give me accurate information on the first go. The first person I finally spoke to said I need a referral and to have my midwife fax a referral. I did that, called back to check if they received it- no answer. I called again, they said they never received it so she’s asked for my midwife’s phone number and that she’d call me right back- no call back. I called a final SIXTH time for someone else to tell me they don’t offer that for non patients even though I’ve been there before. Go somewhere else. It’s like it’s everyone’s first day on the job here. I wasted more than a week of time I could’ve been organizing an appointment somewhere else. Less

Avoid this place like the plague. This is NOT a reflection on the midwives themselves, who are absolutely wonderful. The rest of the practice and the owner are awful - almost criminal.

Avoid this place like the plague. This is NOT a reflection on the midwives themselves, who are absolutely wonderful. The rest of the practice and the owner are awful - almost criminal. I was scheduled to give birth here in March 2023. My whole experience up to the birth was horrendous. First, I signed up for a package with a bunch of benefits - for which they had NO idea how to fulfill. I purchased a pregnancy nutrition consultation, which they ended up folding into their classes that you couldn't do until 28 weeks. It was one page of information directly from the government website that I could have printed out myself. I was supposedly charged a couple hundred dollars of value for that. There was no consultation and it was the END of my pregnancy. I also purchased yoga classes. The classes were scheduled so infrequently, you couldn't take them. The one class I did go to, I was the only one there and the instructor lectured me about a book she read for 30 mins, and then put me in downward dog for 10 minutes and that was "class." My husband could have taught it better. They also tried to push a ton of other things on me, which I declined that were just scams. Their birth classes themselves were not great. One of the instructors was actually useful and helpful, but the other one was terrible. She just sat there and made us watch youtube videos and lectured us on things that were so obvious and again, could just be learned by printing out flyers. Not to mention how hard they were to schedule. They were so infrequent, one of them I couldn't even schedule until 39 weeks - 5 days before I went in to labor. At that point, we had done all of our own research. I also had a really weird run in with the owner when I was waiting for a class. We were sitting in the lobby and he was bragging about how he had a friend that had a house near or in the aero club and he was planning to bring illegals here to birth (medical immigration), so they could fast track their immigration. And he was bragging about how much money he was going to make from it. Honestly, it made me so uncomfortable and was so gross. Then there's the appointments themselves. They have NO infrastructure at the new facility whatsoever, so they sent me up to their Palm Beach location where I had to wait over an hour for outdated ultrasounds while cockroaches (yes, literally), climbed all over the floor. It was absolutely disgusting. Then, I had blood drawn at one appointment and the nurse forgot a couple of vials, so I had to go back. They were closed at the new facility and wanted me to drive up to palm beach, I couldn't and the blood work had to happen so their marketing director (who isn't a nurse), took my blood. Seriously. When it came to the actual birth, I ended up having to transfer to the hospital (definitely not their fault). But after my birth, I was COMPLETELY abandoned. They promised they had an OBGYN on staff, but when I went to make an appointment with her to look at my stitches from my birth, they made me drive to MIAMI (1.5 hours with a 4 week old!!). That office was even worse than the one in Palm Beach. It was absolutely disgusting - I'm pretty sure just an abortion clinic. And their "obgyn" was rude and honestly mean about the whole situation. I then was supposed to get in to see her again and they just stopped responding to calls or texts from me to make an appointment. Complete medical abandonment. I never even had my 6 week post-birth visit. This place was a total rip off. It's not a birth center. It's a highly medicalized place who is just out for money. They are unorganized and awful and dirty. Do not go here under any circumstances. Less

After learning it was possible to have my baby in a calm, comfortable environment instead of being in a hospital I looked into birthing centers and found Gentle Birth Center and fell in love. The women here are so knowledgable and the environment is so comfortable I am looking forward to a natural, easy birth where my wants and needs are heard and met.

I had my first appt today and i am so pleased . Desiree was so patient , so helpful , so warm and answered all of my questions . The best bed side manner . I’ve been searching for a practice with all women and i am so glad i found this place .

I have been receiving great prenatal care so far at the Gentle Birth Center. All staff from their reception, their ultrasound tech, midwives and OB, to their billing manager, have all been kind, knowledgeable, and professional. It’s a very calm and clean environment in which they provide you with various different care options and do not push you into any protocols you are not comfortable with.

The staff were all very kind and helpful.

Great alternative to the normal OBGYN I love how friendly the staff are and there very understanding to all patients basic needs also very affordable especially when paying out of pocket never over packed or over crowded like other offices I would definitely recommend

It’s been such a lovely experience to be in good hands for our first baby! We wanted a natural healthy experience in a comfortable atmosphere with a water birth and we are absolutely thrilled! I highly recommend this facility to anyone wanting to experience the magic of bringing in new life!

From the moment I stepped through the door, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and compassion. The staff, consisting of skilled midwives and attentive support personnel, exuded professionalism while also radiating genuine care and understanding. Their dedication to providing personalized, holistic care was evident in every interaction. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND TOTALLY RECOMMEND!

They don’t prioritize their patients… i’ve been calling for my test results & the doctor never seems to be in. This is really frustrating!

Excellent for a wholistic and comfortable experience. I always felt like I had a voice and was heard.

This center is wonderful! Love our time here. - Kayla Siegler

I recently had the privilege of experiencing a natural birth at your birth center, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by Midwife Krisa and Birth Assistant Christina. From the moment I stepped into the center, I felt supported, empowered, and respected in my birthing choices. Krisa's expertise and unwavering dedication to maternal health and well-being were evident throughout every stage of my journey. Her calm demeanor and profound knowledge not only reassured me but also instilled a sense of confidence that I could achieve the birth experience I envisioned. Christina's compassionate and attentive support complemented Krisa's expertise perfectly. Together, Krisa and Christina created a nurturing environment where I felt heard, valued, and fully supported in my desire for a natural birth. I whole heartedly recommend your birth center to expecting mothers seeking a personalized, empowering birthing experience. Less

Unfortunately my wife's dream of birthing here has turned into an absolute nightmare for us. We paid thousands of dollars out of pocket, as well as our insurance (BCBS) copays and classes. The total ended up being over $5,000.00. My wife was diagnosed outside of Gentle Birth Center for a blood disorder that risked her out of being able to give birth here (around the 5th month of pregnancy). Back in November 2023, we were told that we would receive a refund ($2k) for the amount we paid for the birth itself, since they could not provide that service. It is now February 2024 (4 months later) and we continue to get the run around by the owner, Nelson Posada, for the refund for services not rendered. I will be filing in Royal Palm Beach County against Gentle Birth Center LLC. in hopes we are able to get our money back. This is unbelievable. I want all the parents-to-be to understand the risk of financial loss when considering this birthing center. You should not have to worry like we have since dealing with them, when you're trying to bring a child into this world. There are other birthing centers, I would take a closer look at them and avoid this place. Less

Even in the midst of my super quick labor and delivery she handled everything with such grace and care, it was such a joyous and beautiful experience. The whole staff at gentle birth was a pleasure to work with and receive care from. Loved that we could get everything done at the birth center from blood work to ultrasounds to our childbirth class, it kept things simple and easy. If you're looking for a place to have a natural birth in a safe, clean and homey environment with the best midwife around look no further!! I would do it all over again and again 💖 thank you so much for all you do GBC family! Less

I just want to thank Brandi for taking such good care of my daughter during her birthing experience. She genuinely looked like she cared & not just doing a job. I appreciate all the time you spent with our family & doing everything you can to make us feel comfortable.

I know I cannot know what the future holds, I might not give birth as what I plan, however, the service that I have received with Gentle Birth is worthy and helpful to empower me with my first pregnancy and motherhood.

What a terribly rude and unequipped staff! We came for a couple of appointments, don't let looks deceive you. Stay Away!

This was my 3rd natural birth and by far the best experience I had with a midwife. Erika was very hands on and knowledgeable. She made me feel confident and secure. ❤️

From there I started having appointments with midwife Erika, and wow… me and my husband absolutely adored her and really appreciated her time and knowledge throughout our entire pre natal care, we always felt so valued and NEVER rushed. Then, when it was time to give birth, I didn’t think we could love Erika even more.. but we did! She is truly an amazing person and an incredible midwife and I am so thankful for her and for everyone at Gentle Birth Center who helped me have my dream birth. I will always seek care here. Less

We used gentle birth center, but ended up cancelling months in advance. The environment, the staff, and their equipment made us feel unsafe and that coming here would be unwise and dangerous. Please go somewhere else, they are here for your money, not for the safe delivery of your child.

They listen to my concerns here. So far, it is very easy to make and change appointments when needed.

My wife and I had an amazing experience here. We are so grateful to have found this place right in time for us to have our first baby. Would recommend to anyone who is planning to have a unmedicated peaceful birth. Every staff member was pleasant.

I switched OBs more than half way through my pregnancy because I wanted to go a more holistic/ natural route and I’m so happy that I did. From the first day I walked in I instantly felt comfortable.

It was a cozy and comforting environment with super nice staff. I was seeing Erika for my first few appointments, she has a super lovely and calming personality. Then my last few appts up until birth I was seen by Brandi. There is so much i can say about her but ultimately she was amazing and I couldn’t have chose someone better to be apart and of my birthing experience. Every appointment felt like talking to a friend. I labored for about 12ish hours at the center and I unfortunately didn’t get to birth my baby there but the entire time I was in labor I felt completely safe in Brandis care. When I ended up choosing to transfer to the hospital due to slow progression and feeling physically and emotionally spent she reassured me that I hadn’t failed and I was strong when I wasn’t feeling very strong at the time. She came with me to the hospital and stayed up until my baby boy was born. So while my birth didn’t go exactly how I imagined or wished I am forever grateful for how caring and comforting Brandi was for the birth of my first baby. I would choose this center again for any future children or recommend this location to anyone I know wanting a natural birth❤️ Less

I then met with Christina the birth center director and she gave me a tour of the facility which is beautiful, she as well was very nice and understanding, took her time with me to go over everything that they offer. I even was able to speak to Michelle the biller because I had some additional billing questions and she was able to answer them right away. When I went into labor it was not scary and the best experience I could have imagined, all of the providers and staff there treated me with respect and honored my birthing plan.

Absolutely lovely facility! Clean and professional all around. They truly take into consideration all your needs and desires from start to after birth! So glad I found this center!

Fantastic center. They don't treat you like a number and the office staff is friendly. They are really supportive and provide a lot of valuable information. I'm so glad I switched to Gentle Birth Center to have my baby. Best decision ever!!!

Love the calming atmosphere and that you feel in control of your birth! Erica is great and I'm excited to deliver here!

Beware. In the contract you sign here are hidden, malicious items. My wife had a medical emergency, that even the staff here did not catch, which put our child's life in danger for 48 hours until we decided to go to the emergency room. This was 2 months before our scheduled delivery date, we didn't even take the birth class. Nelson, the owner, has refused to offer any refund to the thousands we paid, for something we received no service for. He claims it is to "reserve the room" but instead offered to let us use it on our next birth, to reserve another room, nullifying the logic used on the policy. Beside the point of my wife now being considered high risk. Even wedding venues, far more expensive, only hold a small percent of what is paid normally for cancelations. Beyond sketchy, reprehensible, and as morally sound as a puppy mill. Do not have a child here, they are unequiped for birth, and doing so will place yours and your child's precious life at risk.

Staff are great and very attentive! Also love that they answers all of our questions and put us in ease. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to do it as naturally as possible.

The staff is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. They welcome guests at appointments and encourage you to ask questions. They will work with you if you don’t have insurance. Highly recommend!

Every appointment was fluid, the staff is always friendly, and our Midwife was extremely informative and involved. We love Gentle Birth, We love the staff, WE LOVE ERIKA, and God willing we would love to have all our children at this facility!! The experience of delivering our first child was ethereal and we would not have been able to have this experience without gentle birth and all the moving pieces. THANK YOU!! Less

Everyone at the facility was nice but due to a medical emergency we were not able to use Gentle Birth for the birth of my son. We canceled our scheduled date and entire month ahead of time and they still refused to give us a refund. We paid a little over $3000 and never got anything from it. If you use this facility be aware that once you pay them your money is gone.

My husband and I had the best experience at Gentle Birth Center. I started seeing Erika when I was 10 weeks pregnant and she always made me feel so confident. At first I saw an OB and their perspective was reactive instead of proactive. For example, my mom had preeclampsia so it was important to me to ask about it.

My husband and I had the best experience at Gentle Birth Center. I started seeing Erika when I was 10 weeks pregnant and she always made me feel so confident. At first I saw an OB and their perspective was reactive instead of proactive. For example, my mom had preeclampsia so it was important to me to ask about it. The OB (completely different practice) told me that if I showed signs I would take baby aspirin, whereas Erika at Gentle Birth told me ways I could try to prevent it before we even saw signs. I loved this approach to prenatal care. I much preferred to create a healthy environment for my growing baby vs try to “fix” problems as they occurred. Erika quickly developed a relationship with me as well. She would ask about my family and I could tell she truly cared about us. Fast forward to when I was in labor Erika was diligent, so incredibly knowledgeable, calm, and a true saint. I labored into the night and had my baby at 2:22am. Erika was zoned in and so dedicated to every step of my labor/delivery. There were complications and Erika responded with diligence and grace. She remained calm and focused which allowed my husband and I to do the same. I also had Bonnie from Coastal Doulas on my birth team and Erika worked with her flawlessly. I could not be more thankful for Erika and GBC! My baby is now almost 2 months old, happy, and healthy thanks to my prenatal care, labor/delivery, and postnatal care with GBC! Less

Zero stars.. $25.00 no show fee (plus $0.88 processing fee.). No bueno.

My husband and I have desired to have a natural birth for Our first baby! We hadan OB at a regular hospital and every appt was always fast, & all the staff were cold towards you. It would take days to hesr from a dr, if you can reach a dr. From the moment we step foot in Gentle birth meeting Christina, touring the whole facility, to meeting our midwife Erika then to the whole team whose been with us in our journey from the beginning have been INCREDIBLE! So intentional, kind, caring, & made you feel that they are on the journey with you. Any time i had questions the ladies at the front desk were quick to answer and help me with any needs. Every appointment with Erika made you feel confident, empowered, heard and prepared for birth. You & your partner are required to take classes which prepares you even more for all that is to come for birth, baby & parenthood! Our birth was the most amazing experience, its because of the people in the room! We are so grateful for this whole experience!!! We would recommend to ANYONE who is desiring a natural birth. Also— prenatal massages!? Renata is The best! Less

Gentle birth center …. So much to say, such little time. I brag about this center nonstop to anyone who is willing to listen lol. As a first time mama, giving birth to my daughter here was such a blessing. Thanks to the amazing staff and the incredible midwives Erika and Carissa; I was fortunate enough to have the birth of my dreams. The abundance of knowledge Erika has is just astounding and she is so caring, down to earth, and as raw and real as they come. She tells it how it is and if there is a problem she finds a solution. Mar, Mariana & Christina are also amazing, understanding, and always willing to help. The center staff is efficient and handles everything in a timely manner - from office visits to lab work. My daughter was born June 2023 and I began receiving my prenatal care in January 2023. From the first day I met Christina I was very impressed with her bubbly personality and honesty. This was very important and refreshing to me as I had just fired my OBGYN for wanting me to sign an arbitration agreement waiving me of my rights in order for her to keep seeing me and being lied to by the office manager. I knew from the moment I became pregnant that the traditional OBGYN route was not what I wanted, I wanted an unmedicated and natural birth, but there aren’t many options for birthing centers. I visited a few in palm beach county and Stuart and I just did not get that feeling of “this is it” from any of them; they were actually all a disappointment. Once I found GBC I called to schedule an appointment and Christina was on vacation. I waited two weeks and figured I had no choice but to go the traditional route and I was devastated. I then received a call from Christina apologizing for getting back to me so late as she was on vacation (this was all during the Christmas/new year season so it’s understandable people would take time off) and was catching up with call backs, I was thrilled ! I scheduled my visit of the birth center and that same day I said yes and signed to receive my prenatal care there and give birth there ! I finally got my “this is it” feeling. I immediately called my husband to tell him the exciting news and he was relieved ! I wanted to be in control of my birth and Gentle Birth Center gave me that control and for that I am eternally grateful. Going to my final appointment (babies 8 week check up) was extremely bittersweet for me as these ladies had become like family and saying goodbye (for now as I hope to give birth to all my children here) made me very emotional. I was fortunate enough to go into labor on a Saturday and have the center to myself lol. Erika’s expertise kicked in and sent me home to get some rest and food as my labor had stalled, my water hadn’t broken and babies vitals were perfect. So off we went, I showered, slept for 4 hours since I hadn’t slept the night before and ate. While I was eating my water broke, so I messaged Erika and was back at the birthing center at 8pm and baby girl was born at 1am. They were equipped with everything needed to handle my bleeding, and tears. I can’t recommend this center enough to women wanting a physiological birth and I am so grateful to whoever realized how much centers like this are needed and making it happen. Everyone at this center holds a very very special place in my heart. Less

Such a great experience. Erika and Christina are both great and I can't say enough about the care that I got.

My Daughter was born at the Gentle Birth Center a little over a month ago. I had the most beautiful experience I could ever ask for . Big blessings to Erika , Christina and the rest of the staff at Gentle Birth . You made my experience one I couldn’t forget. I Can’t wait to have my future babes with you all yet again 💓

I came and visited with my granddaughter and the midwife, Krisa was so attentive and answered all our questions. She's so knowledgeable! They spend nearly an hour with you during your midwife visit and you aren't just a number to them. They truly care about their patients and their families too. The birth center coordinator, Christina sat us down and explained the entire process to us and throughly answered all our questions. This facility is new, clean, and clearly has a thought out design. My family has been dreaming of a facility like this and God has given them exactly what they wanted. I know the staff here will take well care of my family and I have zero concerns with the birth of their baby. Less

Gentle Birth Center was such a blessing to our family from the day we first inquired. I was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable the owner, Nelson,made me feel from our very first tour. Having a first child is quite stressful in itself, let alone figuring out the birthing place, birthing plan, along with not having insurance. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed. Once we toured the facility and got financial assistance, we both felt like we knew exactly what the plan was and could now actually enjoy the exciting news. As a man it's important to fully support your partner throughout their pregnancy and delivery and I felt Gentle Birth helped make that possible. Unfortunately, I had to miss many appointments, but knowing she was in the best hands allowed me to be at ease with the whole process. We loved that Gentle Birth Center was able to provide the blood work, the ultrasounds, massages, yoga, provide doula refereces, and birthing classes all in one place. We loved that we had the opportunity to choose our own room for her to birth in, bring items to make the room as comfortable as possible, and that there was the option for the water birth. I couldn't be more grateful for a team of people in this time. Everyone was so pleasant and professional. Our birth was more beautiful than I could've imagined and the happiness that the staff exuded when my son arrived was another confirmation that we had chosen the right place . They helped us in countless ways and continue to check in on us, the baby, and offer advice when needed. Thank you so much for loving my family as your own! Less

Each of them made her feel at ease with her decision to go thus route. The experience for her was a true gift of comfort from God. Before this experience I was not in favor of this birth method. I would now recommend your center to anyone having a baby. I know how happy they would be to have the same experience as she did. I believe these ladies are the best. I would recommed these ladies; midwives and staff to anyone of my members if my family that are ready to have babies. I could not see my daughter having anyone else care for her pregnancy, birth, and after birth care. I am immensely grateful for their presence at the most important time of her life. They made it the best it could have possibly been. I am truly grateful for this Birth Center and all they are providing for this community. Less

We were told to come back to do paperwork/ transfer to a midwife and sat in the lobby almost 2hrs due to someone being in labor. Nonetheless, we scheduled an appointment to come back but there were no availability after 2pm until WEEKS out. I’m already past my 20week check up mark and they told me NOT to go back to my dr I would be seen. The 9am time I was given last week was just impossible for me to make because I had another appointment set at that time for our baby girl I made a month prior and informed the staff I’ll try to go earlier. This place just seems understaff and if I were to go into labor I highly doubt they’ll be available. Less

Prior to agreeing to having the birth of our son at this facility we asked if we would be refunded our deposit if something out of our control prevented us for using the faculty and we were told we would receive a full refund. The birth of our son was in December and we have been requesting a refund since and have been completely ignored and the owner Nelson has not responded to several emails.. I would stay away from this facility and find one that has been on operation for several years and standby their word.. do give them your hard earned money.. Less

She followed me to the hospital to ensure baby and myself were okay. I truly believe she saved my sons life that day. Even though my birth didn’t go as planned, I’m so grateful for the experience at GBC, and I’m even more grateful for Erika. Less

I gave birth at Gentle Birth Center in January 2023, and received prenatal/postnatal care there from July 2022 - February 2023. I had an excellent experience and cannot recommend them highly enough. During office visits, I was seen promptly and vitals/samples/etc. were taken efficiently, but I never felt rushed. Most of the time at each appointment was spent with my midwife, Erika, who was the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, and caring. She was prepared for each of my visits with detailed, personalized information, but also allowed plenty of time for discussion and questions. The educational classes, yoga, and massages offered as part of the birth center package were a highlight of my pregnancy. The educational classes helped me feel prepared for the key aspects of having a child (labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and newborn care) and allowed me to get to know other parents planning to give birth at Gentle Birth Center. The massages were simply amazing, especially during the third trimester. My labor and delivery experience ended up being somewhat crazy; suffice it to say things progressed very quickly, very early in the morning. However, Erika and Christina were prepared, ensured that my daughter was born safely, and then gave us space and time for bonding after her birth. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to experience the birthing tub! Thank you so much to Erika, Christina, Mar, Renata, and Nelson for the exceptional care and beautiful space you’ve created for families at Gentle Birth Center. Less

I cannot recommend Gentle Birth enough! From the very initial phone call with the owner, Nelson, to now being due any day, Gentle Birth has stolen my heart and will always be a place I remember and consider home. My favorite thing about this place is the staff. They are INCREDIBLE. So amazing, in fact, I’m sad about giving birth any day now and not seeing them as often as I do. They have taken me in and treated me like family from start to finish. From Nelson (the personable and caring owner) to Christina (the bright faced girl who wears lots of hats around there), to Mar (the always smiling and friendly clinical assistant), to Renata (the best masseuse, ever.), to Erika (the AMAZING midwife that I prayed for and never want to let go of). I couldn’t be more excited to have a baby there and have these people by my side for it. The center is clean, cozy, and has so much to offer. I feel safe knowing the level of attention each person puts into their job, the facility is fully prepared for any circumstance, plus, it’s so close to Palm’s West which put my mind at rest. One thing that really drew me to Gentle Birth was that I loved being able to have appointments, including my bloodwork and ultrasounds, attend yoga, get a massage, and take birth courses all at one location. It made taking off work much easier (especially when I could squeeze in a massage before or after my prenatal appointment). I always felt special when going there because it’s more than just a birthing center, it truly became somewhere I felt so comfortable at- everyone knew me, I could call and they’d know exactly who they were speaking to, I could walk freely around the facility and sit it in the birth rooms whenever I wanted to feel them out a bit more before I gave birth to get more acquainted with them, I had my own shelf in the fridge with my food and drinks prior to labor, and so much more. This is the type of place I could only dream of being at for having my first child and doing so naturally, specifically because of the warmness that fills it. If you are looking for a truly amazing birth center to not only have your baby at, but a place that will shower you with support, love, a huge array of services, and genuinely caring people, this is the place to go. I will absolutely be coming back and can’t wait to see the upgrades and changes. I’ll miss them in the meantime! Less

Just gave birth here this morning and had a magical experience! Much of that can of course be attributed to my amazing birth team and the good fortune of having a healthy, relatively low risk pregnancy. However, the Gentle Birth Center itself deserves credit, too. Everything was fresh and clean, and the proximity to Palms West helped put my mind at ease that we’d quickly be able to get medical attention in any emergency event. We had 7 adults in our group (counting our midwives) which might be too many under normal circumstances, but with nobody else in labor while we were there, we had more than ample space to enjoy. I took advantage of the shower, the birth pool, and even the serene space just outside where crickets chirped under the stars. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gentle Birth Center to anyone who is a good candidate for out-of-hospital birth and prefers a birth center. Plus, I think Christina at the front desk is wonderful! I wish I could hang out there all day and listen to her sweet southern accent! Thank you, Gentle Birth Center, for giving my family such a positive place for welcoming our newest member! Less

I toured this facility last week and had my 1st ob check yesterday. I was so impressed with the staff and midwife.

You supposed to have a trustworthy and comfortable doctor but that’s not how that office is , i give this office a 0/10 my honest opinion, their staff is horrible. Less

Royal palm facility is beautiful but there is not currently enough staffing or equipment to have your actual ultrasound/OB appointments there or use the amenities so you must go to west palm beach. WPB is older facility, dirty, outdated equipment and low quality ultrasound, they make you and children in office wear a mask even though the midwife doesn’t wear one the entire time. The insurance department told me my insurance was in network with them for full coverage which I called multiple times to confirm before being seen and I found out after an appointment it was not even covered. I was in the process of transferring care from my normal OB to this office so that I could do the water-birth experience through the Royal palm facility where I was told after my first appointment with them I actually couldn’t be guaranteed day of delivery based on staffing and may have to go to hospital last minute to deliver finding out while already being in labor. They called me to tell me I was high risk because I was on diabetes medication and my last baby was 9.5 lbs… both of which are completely incorrect. I am taking diclegis for nausea/vomiting (a pregnancy safe prescription) nothing to do with diabetes which I do not and have never had. I told them I could easily come off of diclegis if that was an issue and that my last baby was exactly 8 lbs not 9.5 lbs so I was confused why I was deemed high risk. They agreed to do an ultrasound to give me the final OK. My ultrasound (of very poor quality) deemed me “high risk” yet again because the ultrasound tech estimated my baby at 33 wks gestation to already be over 5 and a half pounds and said I would have an almost 11 lb baby. My ultrasound 2 weeks prior at previous facility was exactly 3lbs… baby didn’t gain almost 3 lbs in two weeks. So This makes me “ineligible” for a water birth or the birthing center in Royal palm just based on an ultrasound weight estimate. So I was dropped as a birthing center candidate. However my previous 2 babies were estimated to be large and came out at 8 lbs which I informed the facility of and they did not care and still denied me. I had questions regarding the denial so I could find another facility and they stopped responding to me altogether. I have several friends who have delivered at similar facilities or from home with over 8 lb babies no problem and were never told no based on an ultrasound measurement. I’m disappointed to say the least that I was turned down on my dream natural labor and delivery for my final pregnancy based on the fact that my baby “might” be big and couldn’t get clear communication. I’ve had two healthy safe previous deliveries, I’m young, perfect vitals, no medical conditions whatsoever and no complications at birth. This process at this facility overall was unappealing and doesn’t seem very organized, consistent or up to date. Another red flag, when I first entered the ultrasound there meeting the tech for the first time she asked me why I was there and when I explained to her to get approval to transfer, she told me I should stay with Obgyn specialists (my previous doctor) because they were better… not professional and also not something to tell an optimistic new patient excited about a switch unless you know reasons they don’t know… Less

My husband and I came about Gentle Birth Center by one day driving on our way to lunch at a local restaurant. We are pregnant with our first baby, and I've been struggling trying to not only find an midwife, but an office that I feel comfortable in. Being in Loxahatchee, not many options for birth centers are in close radius. I called first thing Monday and had spoke to Deborah who sounded like the light I needed after having not so good experiences speaking to other offices and birth centers. My husband and I came for the tour and we were beyond pleased with the facility. It's new and clean, and the birth tubs aren't inflated pools that you normally see being used. (It helped selling the idea of a birth center to my husband). The whole office feels home-y, and it's an amazing idea that it's also MD-ran with an OB on one half of the facility and the birthing center on the other. Our Midwife, Linda, is just amazing. She is funny, great personality, and we connected very well! She is so well informed and made us beyond comfortable during our first visit. We walked out of the office literally laughing our "See you laters" because the whole environment is just that great. The facility is 2 miles away from Palms West and they are contacted with the hospital as well, which made us feel very comfortable. They welcome all questions, and encourage to write down any questions you may have for the next visit. I have never been more in love with a medical office, and this facility has made both my husband and I through the moon about our journey with this pregnancy! Less
