Trusted Doctors & Midwives
Dr. Damon Cobb — Natural-Minded Doctor
Dr. Cobb is a natural-minded doctor who will be there for every call and every nervousness you have throughout your pregnancy. He is empathetic and never pressuring — he was there when we needed him and did a great job. When asked about his c-section rate, he shared that it is 12%.
Annie Higdon — Professional Midwife
Annie is a professional midwife who grew up Catholic and has a heart of gold. She will take care of you every step of the way and will always stay very positive with you. Very few of her mothers — only one or two — have ever needed to be transferred to the hospital. She will talk with you for a full hour, so don't be surprised if she is a little late for your appointments. She is very knowledgeable about herbs, is comfortable delivering big babies, and can care for every type of tear. She will even support you through a miscarriage at home. You can't go wrong with Annie as your midwife.
