I will never be able to repay Dr. Elliot enough for helping deliver our high risk baby without a c-section. His knowledge and expertise is unmatched. She is two now, happy and healthy.

Also thankful for all the doctors, nurses, and friendly staff who were there for us through our journey to have our miracle baby! They were all kind and compassionate through every phase of our journey including several MC’s. ❤️

I legitimately missed seeing everyone every week after our baby was born!

My wife had the best care at this practice throughout her entire pregnancy. We are especially grateful to Dr.Prather and Dr. Adams for being so caring and supportivr through our journey!!!

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with NVPW. Dr. Prather was my primary OB starting about six months before I got pregnant and throughout the pregnancy. She’s wonderful and guided me through every step of the process with knowledge, patience, humor, and understanding. I saw all of the doctors in the practice over the course of my pregnancy since they rotate you through to make sure you’ve met everyone. There is not a weak link. I would’ve felt comfortable having any of them deliver my baby.

When the day came, Dr. Borelli and Dr. Adams did the delivery via c section (due to breech). Both are great doctors, but I also really appreciated their calm and confident demeanor throughout the delivery. I still marvel at how efficient and smooth the whole process was. I will continue to sing NVPW and VHC’s praises and am so grateful to have had such excellent care as a first time mom. I would highly recommend any of the doctors in the practice.

I’ve been a patient here for quite some time and just delivered my first child through them. I had a great experience! I normally see Dr. Adams for my every day GYN care but had the pleasure of having Dr. Rabadiya deliver my baby. Everything went so smooth and I felt at ease the entire time. He is newer to the practice but I highly recommend!

I can't thank enough all the doctors of NVPW and particularly Dr. Borelli who delivered my baby last December. All the doctors treated me with respect and patience, guided me throughout my pregnancy, and adressed the endless questions and concerns I had. I am forever grateful for a healthy baby.

My experience giving birth to my first child was horrible and still (6 months later) keeps me awake at night. Dr. Borelli who I was already felt uncomfortable with during the one check up that she did leading up to the delivery was on call the day when my son was born. I was hoping for Dr Prather or Dr Adams (who are both amazing) on the day of delivery. My blood pressure was high and I was scheduled for an induction. The day before the scheduled induction I came in for a check up - my blood pressure was high as always and Dr. Elliott and at the time Dr Rabadiya scared me so much that I agreed to be admitted. Dr Rabadiya said my baby and I could be dead if I go home. It was a horrible start already. After being induced at some point I asked for an epidural. Dr R made fun of me and was laughing why I already opted for an epidural and if the pain was so bad already (a man who never gave birth said that to me). Labor progressed and the epidural wasn’t working which I pointed out multiple times to Dr Borelli and the nurses. I was told pressure is normal - this was not pressure. At one point I couldn’t move anymore, my whole spine was in so much pain and Dr Borelli placed a suction cup to help deliver my baby, without any pain medication and without much explanation or empathy. It felt like she ripped my son out of my body, I felt my skin tear and it was horrific. My son was born - healthy. They placed him on me and Dr Borelli ripped the placenta out of my body as well. She said she needs to put stiches in - I again said I can feel every stich. She said oh the epidural must not work. Yes it did not as mentioned over and over again! She continued sticking back together my vagina - without an epidural or numbing until I begged her to stop. She told me not to move so much but the pain was unbearable. At one point she gave me a pain medication- the first time during this whole torture. My son was lying on my chest and I will never forgive her for destroying this sacred first moment with my son.
The recovery was terrible and took 2 months. I could not walk or sit and it felt like my organs were about to fall out of me.
At a check up Dr Elliott said oh I heard your epidural failed did they give you at least a belt? I wish but no they did not.
I felt like a piece of meat. I was in unimaginable pain and I am shocked how medical professionals can treat a first time mom like that. I felt not heard and disrespected. It’s the most vulnerable state a woman will every be in and providers should protect them and provide a safe space. I will seek therapy to overcome this and it took me 6 months to write this review. I am so sad that this was the way I brought my son into this world.

Had a great experience with the pregnancy, labor, and delivery of both my kids! They got me in when I needed and worked with me so well. My first labor with Dr. Prather went well and I've had a great experience with her over the years. She's great! My most recent birth experience with Dr. Rabadiya was fantastic. I feel he made all the right calls and that led to a smooth labor and delivery experience as well as a smooth recovery. I highly recommend him.

6 out of 5 stars. This practice is my wife's main OB/GYN and delivered our son. My wife will give the details, but from a dad's perspective the doctors at this practice have been nothing but kind, informative, and respectful. Have to shout out each one for their strengths. Dr. Borelli, the commensurate professional, tell it like it is. Dr. Elliott - kind, incredibly informed, and generally lovely. Dr. Adams - the perfect blend of professional and caring. And last but certainly not least, Dr. Prather - a no-nonsense straight shooter with a heart of gold, tells it like it is and is (secretly? :)) a sweetheart. We couldn't be happier with the care given. Thank you all for bringing our son into the world!!
