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.

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!

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!

What an incredible group of women whose strength, wisdom and courage has created the opportunity for so many lives to be born, families grown & hearts expanded in such a peaceful way, as God intended!

The most amazing supportive and empowering women in the industry. Pregnancy and delivery would not be the same without them.

“

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

“

Thank you to this amazing staff!! We have them to thank for our little peanut! You were an amazing support with her delivery in the hospital. Thank you for all your dedication!

“

They are all fantastic! And a big thank you for delivering my perfect rainbow baby in March. So thankful to everyone for helping us!

“

We love you all!! Thank you for your kindness and dedication!

“

Thank you for helping us walk through that journey, the journey to our beautiful rainbow and miracle!

“

Everyone at both offices are always so gentle and kind. It’s a blessing to have the knowledge support and help through this journey.

“

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

I’ve seen many different OB’s and fertility drs. I can say that I have never felt more cared for than I did here. And when I say cared for I truly felt like they cared about me and what was best for me! I feel so blessed to have found this practice to care for me through my infertility, prenatal, delivery (two babies!) and postpartum! I’m not sure there is enough time or room to write all of the good things I have to say about them but if you’re really curious send me a message and I’d be glad to share all the wonderful reasons I love this practice!
Jessy S.
I have received nothing but impeccable care at this practice! Everyone is so caring and really takes the time to listen and to put your wants and needs into action. In addition, all of my appointments and procedures have been covered by my insurance so it’s been very very affordable. I have so many favorite employees here from the front desk to the providers and I have to give shout outs to them here! Dr. Stroud and his wife Marianne (but I think this goes without saying as co-owners of the practice!), Dr. Stalling who really committed and deep dove into my overall health to identify the issue, Stephanie Wilson who is just the sweetest and funniest Creighton Model charting instructor, Emma Ziino, Allison Francois, and Becca Cronin are always incredibly kind during exam visits, Angela Meyer who drew my blood perfectly many many a time, Stacy Mullinger who amazingly addresses me by name the moment I walk in the door, and Diane Hartman who always snaps the cutest photos of our little one during ultrasounds!Thank you everyone for making my experience with you all so incredible!
Hetty V.

I had 3 out of 6 of my babies with them. Dr. Stroud office has been truly amazing and so caring during my pregnancies. They listen to your concerns and questions and answer them thoroughly and explained everything. If I could go back in time and change who delivered my older three I would in a heart beat choose Dr. Stroud office.
Whitney N.
I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant. A feat I thought would never happen for my husband and I after experiencing 3 previously unexplained losses. I was recommended this practice from a friend. I will forever owe her for sending me their way. Within 5 minutes of my first appointment they were able to see what was causing my losses based on tests that were ran by previous Dr's. That day I was prescribed the medicine that has made carrying my baby possible. Every midwife and physician I have met has been incredible. Becca and Rachel really stand out to me though. They are genuinely some of the nicest, most carrying people I've ever met in my life, and have made this experience so much easier on me. I would absolutely recommend fmcc to any woman who is experiencing fertility issues.
Pamela P.
I’m so incredibly grateful for all the staff at FMCC. From Kelly who was so helpful with transferring care, booking appointments, answering questions, and even insurance stuff to all the midwives, to Dr. Stroud who delivered our son. We moved to IN and I had been spotting from 12 weeks to 16 weeks but my old doctors wouldn’t look into why. If we would have stayed our son wouldn’t have make it. As soon as I walked into my first appointment a midwife prescribed progesterone right away and sure enough when the test came back my progesterone levels were extremely low. The next hurdle we crossed was my water breaking at 18.5 weeks. I stayed on bed rest till 22.5 weeks when I was admitted into the hospital spending a total of 9 weeks in there. A midwife or Dr. Stroud himself came to check up on me every day. We made it to 31weeks 2 days and our son was born emergency c-section. We spent 2 months in the NICU. Today our son is thriving! I’m so grateful for the care and emotional support I received from the staff here. In the midst of the scariest situation of our lives they showed they cared, valued life, and walked us through every step of the way. I could not recommend this place enough.
Amanda D.
Baby #1 born at DuPont with FMCC staff (thanks, Rachel!), and Lord willing, future babies born with them as well. Love their care and attentiveness at each visit.
