Happy moms and dads
“We are beyond thankful to have given birth to both our beautiful girls at DCH. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of not just mom and baby, but the whole family. Because of the amazing nurses and doctors, our labor and delivery memories are ones we will cherish forever.”
“We appreciate our birthing experience at DCH because the entire staff went above and beyond for us. The nurses and doctors were so nice and accommodating during the whole process. We feel very grateful and lucky to have a caring OB department available locally.”
“I delivered all three of my babies at DCH and always felt that myself and baby were in the most capable hands. I felt at ease walking through the doors to the OB department and can’t say enough good things about all the staff and providers!”
"I've known Doctor Ryan most of my life, and he was always so kind and so warm-hearted. He always made my appointments super easy, and when I was pregnant with our daughter Ivy, he shared the excitement with me! It made me feel so cared for.”
“Doctor Merril delivered my daughter and he was amazing! He helped keep me calm throughout the whole process along with my nurse Katie. He was so caring and told me how beautiful my daughter is and how amazing of a mom I will be. I love our healthcare system."
"I greatly appreciate our birthing experience! The doctors and nurses were fantastic! They gave us our space while still making sure we had everything taken care of.”
"We loved our birth experience at DCH! The nurses and doctors were so kind and compassionate every step of the way. We are very thankful to have such an awesome OB in our area."
"Our baby was born on December 24th, 2019. The nurses were absolutely wonderful to us! They made spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the hospital a great experience. We thank you for your time spent taking care of our new loved one, while you were away from your own loved ones at home. The hard work you put in and kindness does not go unnoticed."
"The staff was amazing... from the doctors, nurses, kitchen, and housekeeping. Everyone we had contact was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made you feel comfortable."
"From the office visits at the OB clinic to the delivery at the hospital, their care does not go unnoticed. The doctors, nurses, and office staff were all thorough, informative, and compassionate. We are very thankful to have such a great hospital in our community."
"I am very thankful for all the staff at Dickinson that made bringing my baby girl into this world seem like an easy task for me! Especially Dr. Schroeder that caught her in the nick of time!"
"Dr. Ryan and Dr. Merril were wonderful for all three of my girls! The staff was excellent. Love Amy O, Kathy G, and her daughter! I spent a quality amount of time there with Ila as I was diagnosed as preeclampsia risk early on. For five months, I had weekly labs, biophysical profile with Chris, NSTs with Tilly, followed by my provider appointment. Everyone was so supportive."
"I appreciate all of the awesome staff for taking such great care of my baby and me. Being there for me while trying to labor an almost 12-pound baby and then with my C-section! Great first experience."
"My experience was amazing, loved my nurses. They were extremely helpful with pre C-section and after. Helped with breastfeeding techniques & many more."
"We had an amazing experience with the nursing staff and Dr. Olsen during our stay. I was so nervous to deliver without an epidural and the staff offered great support and comfort. They helped coach my husband and me during that vulnerable time. Thank you to the amazing staff in the labor and delivery department for helping us bring Reid into the world. Such a blessing to be able to stay close to home and receive quality care."
"We could not be happier with our birthday experience with the OB department! Every single person we dealt with was amazing, right on down to the housekeeper. Everyone was so welcoming and things were done in a timely manner. I’m thankful we were able to deliver with DCH!"
"My husband and I did IVF through a clinic in Minnesota and I was able to do all my testing, monitoring, and delivery at DCHS. I couldn't have asked for a better group of nurses to help during a stressful and exciting time."
"From the very first visit to the OB Clinic, I was treated with the utmost care. I've never left an appointment or a hospital stay from the births of my two daughters dissatisfied. The bedside manner Dr. Merril and Dr. Ryan have is outstanding."
"I had such a great experience at DCH. The nurses were so kind and took great care of me and Amelia. It was my third baby there and I love all the workers! Bless the doctors and nurses for the work they do!"
"I love the DCH birthing center! I delivered all three of my kids there. Dr. Ryan and Dr. Merrill are both awesome! The nurses are beyond amazing and so helpful.”
"DCH did a great job of taking care of Lucy and me while being there. This was my fourth C-section and Dr. Merrill made sure I was well taken care of in and out of the operating room. The nurses were always very prompt and attentive to us and they made sure we were well taken care of."
"I appreciate the nurses and doctors who made my delivery safe and as easy as they possibly could. My induction went smoothly, and they really made sure I was in the best hands!"
"They've always explained everything to me so that I was well educated to make a decision if and when needed. The nurses have always taken excellent care of me and my babies. The nurses are very well educated and are amazing support systems throughout the birthing process. From visits to hospital stays, I have nothing bad to say about our OB Department. I highly recommend our facilities to all expecting mamas."
Each Family Birth Center Suite is private, beautifully decorated, and positioned within a very modern, state-of the art, high-tech environment with many comforts of home. The design provides care for mom throughout labor, delivery, recovery, and post-partum in the same room – no uncomfortable shuttles. Each suite in the Family Birth Center is strategically positioned adjacent to the Operating Room in the event of a C-section.
Our highly trained, experienced obstetrical nurses provide a high level of clinical skill along with encouragement and personalized attention at one of life’s key moments. In addition, the nursing staff offers a comprehensive childbirth education program that prepares you for the arrival of your new baby and a follow up lactation program for breastfeeding mothers.
