Mission Bernal Women's Clinic - San Francisco, California

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with the Mission Bernal Women’s Clinic midwives for our prenatal care and the birth of our son! We saw Tia for our first two appointments, and Tia and Jordan attended our birth. Claire led our prenatal group, which was a wonderful opportunity to learn and meet other couples going through a similar life change. Claire was helpful and down to earth, and we enjoyed getting to know her though the group! Jordan did an amazing job with the delivery, coaching me successfully through pushing, and staying calm and grounded through the end of the experience when the OB on staff was starting to suggest the vacuum might be necessary. I’m so glad we went with the Mission Bernal Women’s Clinic, and would highly recommend anyone looking for prenatal care come here!

I can’t express how grateful I am to have had such an incredible team by my side throughout my pregnancy and delivery. My midwife Jodi Winemiller and doctor Cheyenne Martinez and Anna Kogan were truly the best team I could have ever imagined. From the very beginning, they provided exceptional care, support, and guidance, making me feel confident and at ease every step of the way.

Their attention to detail, warmth, and dedication went above and beyond. They always took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions, and made sure that I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire journey. On the day of delivery, they worked together seamlessly, making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring my baby into this world. Their kindness and expertise made all the difference, and I will forever be thankful for the amazing care they provided. If you’re looking for a midwife and doctor who are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about you and your baby, this is the team you want by your side!

Called yesterday for an appointment and they said they wouldn't see me because I don't have a primary with (I do, it's dr. Kachru). So I called again today explaining symptoms of kidney infection and they said they want to schedule me for two weeks out. So i requested to be put on the wait list asap but crystal didn't even confirm times for an appointment yet said she scheduled me and hung up. Will never be going back here... Two weeks to be seen for a kidney infection? This place does not care about it's women patients.

Waited a month to get an appointment after dealing with confused and unprofessional staff. They call me the day before and tell me the Dr I requested is not available so they will just give my appointment to any care provider at random. Then what was the point of waiting a MONTH!? If the Dr wasn’t available why would they schedule an appointment?

This is all after dealing with their issues over the phone for several days. The receptionist claimed I didn’t have a chart although I did and created a whole new one. I was on the phone for over 30 minutes. She kept adding letters to everything I spelled out to her. Then after 30 minutes, she claimed they didn’t take my insurance, which they DO. The clinic and the Dr is on the provider list for my insurance on paper and online. Called the next day, and the next receptionist told me the last had created 2 charts for me now. So I had to wait while she deleted all the extra ones. She made the appointment a month out claiming that was the next availability for the Dr. Now, they are claiming they made the appointment by mistake and the Dr is not available.

There was no remorse for wasting my time. They left some message on my voicemail saying you still have an appointment but they don’t know who it is with? I don’t want a male Dr. I specifically wanted the Dr with PCOS experience because I am constantly given incorrect or dismissive comments by nurses who do not know anything about PCOS or do not care. There is no point in coming here unless you are okay with having no info about your midwife/nurse that you didn’t choose and have no questions. Just look at the reviews of how they treated people with PCOS and Endometriosis.

Judging by the interactions I’ve had, the staff seem to be very transactional. Come in, have the appointment, keep your mouth shut, pay, don’t come back for 3 years. You will be assigned to whoever is the least ideal.

I loved my prenatal care and birth experience with the Mission Bernal Midwife team. All the midwives are knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Special thanks to Tia who led our group prenatal classes, and Jodi who was on duty for my birth. Don't be put off by the fact that the clinic office is a bit more dated and the rooms are small - the CPMC Van Ness hospital facility is top notch and super modern (we also had a great experience with the nurses there). I feel this midwife practice is a hidden gem in San Francisco and would highly recommend them to anyone having a baby here!

Tried to bully me in getting 5 types of vaccinations all at once during my high risk pregnancy. Kept telling them no and to stop asking. They tried to guilt me and implied I was irresponsible. NO MEANS NO.

The Mission Bernal midwives and OBs provided excellent care throughout my pregnancy and delivery. Of particular note were Jodi and Erika, whose support during delivery exemplified professionalism and compassion. They kept me fully involved and informed as my labor progressed, and were fantastic motivators during the later hours. Even with some complications during delivery, I felt completely at ease knowing I was in such capable hands. My husband and I could not be happier with the labor and delivery experience thanks to the competent, compassionate care from Jodi and Erika.

So far I've had pleasant experiences with the team at Mission bernal women's clinic. Nurse Sander is so kind, patient, and spent a lot of time with me during our initial appt. She walked me through what to expect throughout pregnancy, discussed multiple options for various things, and was personable, kind, and down to earth.
Also, I messaged the midwife team late in the day today for an Rx refill (the day before July 4th) and got such a quick response (~30 minutes) that my Rx's had been sent out already. So glad I was recommended to this clinic for my pregnancy care. I feel supported.
