Okay, this is going to be long: Had our baby here and everyone was so great throughout the process. Having a baby is stressful and it makes such a big difference when everyone, from the secrataries and assistants to the nurses and doctors, is just super friendly like all of the ones we encountered at the Nephi Clinic. We started out with Dr. Jones. He's really personable, easy going, and I felt like he cared about taking care of us and our baby. When our pregnancy ran into complications and we had to go up to Utah Valley several weeks in a row, he recommended we switch to Dr. Skinner, who works at CVMC and Utah Valley, so that we could have one doctor (rather than continuing to switch back and forth between a whole bunch of different ones at Utah Valley). While we were sad to not have Dr. Jones after we'd seen him so much, it really was thoughtful for him to switch us and it made everything so much easier during a difficult time. Dr. Skinner is more serious than Dr. Jones, but just as great. He REALLY keeps you informed on everything he's doing and on all of your different options. I think that every time he did something, even if it was routine, he would explain it out. Even when talking about risks, him keeping us informed made things a lot less frightening. In the end we had to switch to a C-section at the last minute, but we were prepared for it because he had already talked us through what we'd do if a C-section became necessary. I'll also add that my C-section experience seemed to go MUCH better than other people I know's C-sections. The doctors and nurses really knew what they were doing. I wish I knew the anesthesiologist's and all of the nurse's names, because ALL of them were amazing while I was freaking out inside and while I was recovering with my new baby. Dr. Duval is who we go to for our baby now that she's born and he's very good as well. So far, everyone we've encountered at the CVMC has been top notch. Speaking as someone who is very cynical of small town medical facilities, I'm very impressed.
(Shout out for the emergency room doctor Dr. Standring and the doctor Dr.Taylor as well, we saw them both once and they were equally as nice and competant as the others I've mentioned)
