We were living in the Mission at the time. Although it was a twin birth, they respected our desire to not have a c-section as well as as few medical interventions as possible. The prenatal care and follow up was incredible, with nurse/midwife lisa noguchi there from the first visit to delivery. the birth experience very intimate. the nurse's kind, generous and respectful. It makes me shudder to think that our kids could have been delievered at S.F. General. You have to know that every instrument used there has been used on at least 10,000 junkies. You can't sterilize the reality! OUCH! my kids were born at St. Luke’s. We were living in the Mission at the time.
