As a Midwife, I listen and respect each woman's personal power and autonomy. I consider each woman as a partner in her own care. I enjoy helping women understand their choices for care, and I trust women's ability to choose the care that is best for her. For pregnant women I provide comprehensive prenatal care and offer a skilled, attentive presence during labor, maximizing the likelihood of having a healthy baby, healthy mother, and a satisfying birth experience. I focus on early detection of problems to minimize the chances of complications during pregnancy and birth.

I was given a shot that it turns out I didn't need because someone misunderstood my chart and Joy really explained the situation well, made sure I understood and answered my questions which I really appreciated. I could've been left in the dark but I felt important and valued.Providence Patient

Joy is the best midwife! She shows genuine care for and interest in her patients.Providence Patient
I had a wonderful experience. Joy was kind, patient, and answered all my questions. My husband and I are very nervous about having our first child, and she walked us through all of our options and what we will need to do over the coming months.Providence Patient
I have thoroughly enjoyed working w/Joy as my midwife. We (me & my spouse) have been very satisfied w/Prov. midwives, but especially appreciate Joy's practical approach and her common sense answers. She has a great way of making complicated or concerning.Providence Patient
I don't have any complaints. All my appointments have been very pleasant, all of the staff is great.Providence Patient
Even though my appointment ran late, this was the best appointment I've had within the Providence health system since I've been a patient there. Joy was an absolute delight and I'm happy to work with her on my healthcare over the next several months.Providence Patient
