Abigail was the best nurse to help bring our first child into the world!
Abigail was my biggest cheerleader through a stalled labor process. She put every effort into helping me try new things and empowering me to make the best decision for myself instead of allowing the care team to make decisions for me. She encouraged me through the low moments of the decision to change course to a C-section and kept me calm throughout the whole process and well into recovery. Abigail took care of me with the utmost compassion and encouragement and helped me with my fears.

Abigail was very attentive, compassionate, and respectful throughout the course of care. She was polite when coming into the room in the middle of the night and checked on the patient frequently to ensure proper monitoring.

My daughter had a very rough delivery. She had to have a DNC after a long delivery. Abigail was a top touch nurse. She took excellent care of my daughter.

Abigail was the best nurse to help bring our first child into the world! She never failed to check up on my wife, and always showed how much she cared each time she came in. She talked us through every contraction and deep breath, helping my wife remain calm. After a very traumatic birth and OR visit, Abby escorted us to our postpartum room and got emotional telling us how special it was to be our nurse and meet our baby for the first time with us.

Abigail was an excellent nurse when she was on my nursing team. She was assigned to Jade, and she was respectful and professional when doing any of my procedures. She inserted my catheter with Jade’s instruction after my epidural, and just overall everything was so great having her on my care team. We were all sad when shift change happened and she had to leave, but we loved our hospital experience while she was there during day shift.

I just gave birth to my first child and had a hard time during labor. Abigail showed compassion, was never dismissive of how I felt, and helped me through the toughest part of my labor. What really set her apart was when she came to visit me the next day in the postpartum unit to check on me! I had an unplanned C-section, and she came to see how I was doing and to see my sweet baby. It was just so thoughtful, and I really appreciated her checking up on me. Thank you, Abigail!
