“My daughter gave birth for the first time and we know we couldn’t have done it
Without Tammy. Tammy kept my daughter focused during labor & delivery.
She always had the answers to any questions and made us feel like family.
She was the one my daughter relied on to bring my granddaughter into this
World and I am forever indebted to her dedication and experience!”

“My experience at Saint Luke’s was amazing thanks to Tammy! So much easier!
My boyfriend and I were very impressed by how attentive she was and great
With my “not so nice” attitude during delivery!”

“Tammy made my labor and delivery process a wonderful experience by
Providing comfort and laughter when I needed it. She was a cheerleader
for me and made me feel like I was her only patient. This is the second child
I have delivered with Tammy and I feel so lucky to have had two wonderful
Experiences.”

She frequently will drop everything to come in even during night shift when crisis situations arise providing support for her peers and our patients.
