I really appreciated that Terra asked about history with sexual trauma and possible triggers. I have never been asked that in a women's health appointment. It really made me feel like she was genuinely advocating for me in every way. Trauma informed care is so important and having that be part of our conversation meant so much.

Terra is a wonderful midwife. She is very thorough and spends as much time needed to talk through and answer any and all of my questions and concerns. I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family.

As a new patient, I expected to have a long wait for an appointment. That didn't happen. I had an appointment with Terra Rhodes within the week. Terra was very professional and personable with my check-up and explained various options and put in a referral for the next practitioner needed. I was amazed to have a call to set up that next appointment within an hour of leaving the office. It's very nice to have such quick and courteous services.

I hate seeing the gynecologist. But Terra Rhoades immediately put me at ease. Very kind and understanding and thorough. I will be recommending her to any woman I know in search of a gynecologist.
