I had the pleasure of meeting Paige a couple of months ago when I came into L&D for pre-term labor issues. Because of a past experience, my pregnancy had been stressful, and honestly I don’t know how to express the fear in my heart I had for the safety of the child that I was carrying. Paige got us settle in, and really made us comfortable. She went out of her way to assure us that everything was okay. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and with great knowledge. In addition, she showed compassion and genuine care.

Keeping in mind my positive experience with Paige during a horrific ordeal with my first pregnancy, I made sure to ask for her specifically when I came into the hospital in full term labor. Luckily, she was working that night and immediately I felt at ease and knew that I would be well cared for and all my questions would be addressed. Since Paige was aware of my past circumstances, she was very sure to keep me focused on the positive. She never showed any signs of frustration. The one thing that kept me calm was hearing Paige’s voice in my ear telling me that it was all going to be okay. Her voice was calming, reassuring and kind. She soothed my fearful mind and it did my soul good to have Paige there through this journey.

My family was also impressed by her genuine concern for my mental and physical comfort, and being there for my every need. It is very clear in the way that Paige carries herself that she enjoys her job and takes pride in her work- and it shows. There are no words to express the depth of my appreciation for Paige. She touched our lives in a way that one could only hope for.
