What People Say About Us
“This practice is a true gift from God, my husband and i feel so blessed to have found the office. The staff is so kind, patient, and eager to meet your needs. They have a genuine care for you personally and see you as an individual, not just another face to walk through the door.
Ashlyn
“We were so impressed with the level of care and expertise that FMCC provides! From the first appointment, we knew we were in great hands. We love the practice of meeting each doctor and midwife as it gave so much relief when it came to delivery and knowing we would see familiar faces for the big day! Although I had to end up having a necessary c-section, I was thoroughly impressed with the surgery and recovery. I highly recommend this practice!
Jessica
“If I could rate this office 10 stars I would. I can’t say enough good things. I went here for Infertility issues and now my first pregnancy! Every woman and family deserves the kind of healthcare you will get at FMCC. All the staff care about their patients, they listen, they’re proactive with care, and they get to the root cause of what’s going on with you, not masking problems with meds or brushing things off. Highly highly recommend!
Sarah

“So thankful to have had this team with me through the delivery of both my youngest babes! The entire staff is amazing!

“The Lord used FMCC to diagnose our infertility and by God's grace and kindness, just welcomed our first baby a couple weeks ago at the Holy Family Birth Center.
“Thank you for everything, Dr. Stroud! The staff at FMCC is amazing. We are so blessed to have FMCC guide us in our fertility journey. Now we have an amazing little girl!
“The doctors and staff at FMCC are all so wonderful. I’m so glad we had them by our side throughout our fertility journey.
“Thank you for your work, Dr. Stroud! We are so thankful that you not only gave us answers but three beautiful miracles.
“The best group there is! Three years of sadness before I met Dr. Stroud and 2 healthy babies later, here I am.
“Dr. Stroud was a God-send to my family through my journey. After 6.5 years, I was sent to him from a friend, and I thank the Lord daily for it. He truly listens and cares. After 8 years, I got my miracle baby.
“We are so grateful for Dr. Stroud! After he did my second surgery for stage 4 Endometriosis, he guided us to conceiving our miracle baby boy! It took us 8 years of struggling with infertility to have him! After numerous other doctors said I only had a 1% chance of having my own child, Dr. Stroud didn't give up on us! He is truly a blessing from God!
“After dozens of fertility “specialist” consultations, the general consensus was “take these drugs” or “IVF is your only option”. We were fortunate enough to meet Dr. Stroud. His patience and compassion is unmatched. With his help we conceived naturally within one year of our first appointment. Dr. Stroud and his team truly are blessings.

Patient Reviews
Fast forward to 2020, as a seasoned birth photographer, and now doula, having worked alongside the FMCC providers for many years. I decided to make the switch to their practice for my fifth pregnancy, and I could not have been happier with my care. My pregnancy was very challenging, with intermittent bleeding into my second trimester as well as vomiting throughout the whole nine months of pregnancy. They went above and beyond to care for me and my baby! They allowed me to come into the office for ultrasounds and doppler checks to hear our baby’s heartbeat, to ease my anxious mind. They also referred me to an IV clinic for fluids and medication for the unrelenting vomiting, which had never been offered in my previous pregnancies. I didn’t even know that an IV clinic was an option! It made a world of difference and helped keep me afloat throughout my pregnancy. While I originally intended to deliver at Holy Family Birth Center, after much prayer and consideration, I made the difficult decision at the end of my pregnancy to birth in the hospital. Even though all of my babies had been born unmedicated, I needed the safety net of the hospital in the event I needed an epidural for the first time. My body felt too tired and too weak to get through labor. Even though I did manage to achieve another unmedicated birth, I felt my choices were respected and honored to make the switch.
After our fifth baby was born, my husband and I were certain that our baby days were over - our hearts and hands were full! - until a surprise pregnancy in 2023. While unexpected, we quickly became excited and immediately loved our sweet growing baby. Unfortunately, almost as soon as we found out about our new little one, we learned we lost him or her. Having never had a miscarriage before, it was truly one of the most painful and traumatic events I have ever experienced. FMCC was there through it all - praying for us, supporting us, and encouraging us. Even though our loss was early, it didn’t matter - the providers at FMCC acknowledge each new life from the moment they are conceived, knowing full well they are designed and loved by a Holy God. Even though our baby’s life was brief, they brought purpose into our family.
Heartbreakingly, we went on to lose three more babies. I cannot even begin to express the gratitude I have for the FMCC team for their deep compassion and empathy. As a grieving mother, it meant everything to me. They came alongside us during some of our darkest moments and helped carry the weight of our sadness and grief. We learned in between those losses that I have MTHFR, so we got progesterone and other medications on board… and because of Dr. Stroud’s help, we got to our perfect and precious rainbow baby, where he was welcomed into the world at Holy Family Birth Center, with the most incredible support team imaginable. HFBC is such a sacred, special place for birthing women and their families. Some of our older children were in attendance for their baby brother’s birth - it was an amazing and beautiful experience for them!
We love you, FMCC and HFBC! We will always be grateful for you!
We also enjoyed the birthing class you can sign up for.
Dr. Stoud taught us some new information that was helpful before our baby came.
Every person, at each step of care, from the OBs, to Ultrasound techs, to Midwives, to nurses, to receptionist, go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable and well cared for. I have been with them for my last two births, and the compassion and care I have felt from every interaction is unparalleled. They truly listen to your concerns, provide thorough explanations of procedures, and are never pushy or judgemental when it comes to your decisions. If you are looking for hospital or birth center birth, I highly recommend FMCC!
Once I discovered I had PPD 8mo after the birth of our third child, FMCC staff was right there. They (especially Sara) SAVED MY LIFE. I would not be here today carrying our fourth baby without the help, compassion, encouragement, and prayers of those at FMCC. When I found out I was pregnant again, there was no hesitation on who I would go back to for my prenatal and postpartum care.
I thank God for FMCC and highly recommend to anyone looking to be treated as a human, with compassion and love, rather than another number and big dollar signs.
From the very beginning, the staff and medical professionals here showed unwavering dedication to our cause. Their guidance, compassion, and top-notch medical care made what seemed impossible become a reality. They provided excellent prenatal and midwifery care throughout both pregnancies.
The welcoming and nurturing environment of this center truly sets it apart. Every visit felt like we were part of a caring family, and their commitment to our well-being was evident in every interaction. They were there for us every step of the way, answering our questions and alleviating our anxieties.
Today, I have two healthy, happy children, and I owe it all to the Fertility and Midwifery Care Center. This place isn't just a medical facility; it's a haven of hope, a source of miracles, and a testament to the incredible impact that compassionate and skilled healthcare professionals can have on people's lives. My family will forever be grateful for the life-changing care we received here. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I felt like every person I interacted with (from checking in and lab work to my ultrasounds and provider visits) truly cared about me and my family. After one horrible day when we found out I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to be rushed into surgery, Dr. Stallin gave me her personal number so I could call and talk with her the next day since she knew I wouldn’t remember anything from after surgery. They saved my life because if I’d still been with Parkview, I wouldn’t have had the lab work to confirm the ectopic or even been seen at the office.
We welcomed our second son/FMCC birth in June and if we have any more we will definitely be going on that journey with FMCC ♥️
I will continue to see FMCC for my routine GYN care and definitely recommend you give them a try also.
Whether you're trying to achieve pregnancy or not, pregnant or not, a healthy woman or not...this place can and will help you in women's health.
Thanks FMCC for not only being an amazing employer but for taking care of my family and friends!🩵
Thank you everyone for making my experience with you all so incredible!
Taylor, Stacy, and Tammi are always the first I see upon walking in! They always greet me with a smile and by name! They are always patient and kind. If they don’t have the answer, they never hesitate to find it out for me!
Angela, literally the best phlebotomist! She knows me by name and recognition! She always hits my veins the first time and I have never had any issues with bruising or soreness!
Amanda, Stephanie, Mackenzie, Megan, and Nyaing, are just a few of their amazing staff members! But these girls go above and beyond every time! Always so descriptive, hands on, and knowledgeable! They always meet all of my needs always willing to go the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and heard! They answer so many of my phone calls to the point it’s probably annoying but they are always reassuring, kind, and caring!
Stephanie W., Man she is amazing! She is the whole reason we have our son and another on the way! She meant with us regularly and diligently to figure out our infertility adventure! I can’t say enough good things about her!
Lindsey is hands down the best ultrasound tech! I haven’t really scene anyone else but man! She is nothing but calm, excited for you, and full of knowledge and reassurance! She talks you through step by step and doesn’t miss a beat!
Marianne Stroud! Again, I can’t say enough! She was a major advocate for our first birth and was nothing but reassuring, comforting, and full of knowledge! She literally meant us where we were at in some of the scariest moments right before delivery and calmed us down!
All in all, I am so beyond blessed to be able to have such amazing doctors, midwives, and staff to care for me before, during, and after our pregnancies!
