OBSTETRICS

Pregnancy is a very exciting time in your life, and we understand that. In a professional, but relaxed atmosphere, our attentive and compassionate staff are trained in up-to-date comprehensive obstetrics, including high risk conditions.

Dr. Wirsing, Dr. Jones and Lisa, Nurse Midwife, provide labor and delivery services exclusively at Porter Hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana. They rotate hospital call daily and any one of them may attend your hospital birth. Although we support low intervention births at the hospital, our practitioners do not assist with home births or offer back up services to home births.

Obstetric patients are cared for by our doctors, nurse practioner and a nurse-midwife as a team; ensuring that patients meet and get to know each of them during their prenatal care. We offer a unique, rewarding and individualized birthing and newborn experience. Our nurse midwife Lisa and Dr. Jones host Heartwood Tea, a monthly lactation support group for new and expectant mothers.

Our practitioners will address all aspects of your care including:

In addition, we will also attend to any other questions or concerns that arise during your pregnancy. We feel strongly about and are committed to patient education thereby empowering you to make choices in your pregnancy and healthcare.
