North Valley Hospital

I have had wonderful and also horrible experiences at this hospital. My last delivery was SO wonderful I would like to speak on and highlight that experience.

At my side and for my care I had:
Mr Barry Wollenzien
Dr Kasavana (Alpine women's center for surgery)
Dr Honey Newton (surgery and midwife)
And many more who all made the experience amazing.

I want to specifically highlight Mr Wollenzien.
I first met him with my second birth there, which was a horrible experience overall. He STOOD out from everyone. He is the only one I felt who had any understanding and true respect for the job and people. He was so caring. Down to the little things like not turning every light on, being loud, waking baby, waking me, (with all the through the night checks). He would even warm the equipment tip first before placing on baby's chest not to wake her. He is over the top accommodating to visitors! He was so on top of my care he was bringing me things before even requested. He truly observes and knows the needs of his patients and delivers the optimal experience. He is also highly respectful of medical freedom and everyone individual health and medical choices.

When he called me morning of my last birth there in February 2023, I was ELATED to say the least knowing he was on the birth team that day. Not one person disappointed this time. Nothing short of an amazing experience by all but the listed above truly stood out. I hope this hospital realizes what a true asset he is and rewards him accordingly. He is the best and we will forever hang on to the little hat his wonderful wife made for my son.
