I had a wonderful experience with Barbara Charles. No one is perfect, and I personally experienced 2 crappy doctors before finding her, and I am very happy that I did.
She was very thorough and informative with the birth experience and breastfeeding, which I was thankful for because this was my first pregnancy and child and I was interested in a more natural, holistic approach which Barbara endorsed. She went above and beyond for me and located much needed external resources for myself and my unborn including nutritious foods and temporary housing and I never felt like she was belittling me or looking down on my situation. She can be a little aggressive at times about what she wants for you/ her patients, however, I am my best advocate and I wasn’t afraid to let Barbara know who was really in charge, while also considering the facts of what she had to offer.
It’s true, the wait is ridiculously long, almost 2 hrs each time so don’t even bother being “on time” and the East Meadow office is a relatively small, shared space with a chiropractor office, so there really isn’t much space for the whole family and definitely not children. Though Barbara does have ALOT of toys and books to keep them occupied.
My birth was a bit chaotic because my labor stalled for many hours then progressed fully within 20mins. No one believed when I said what i was feeling and ultimately when my son was born, he was blue and had a cord around his neck. No idea how for long or any other details surrounding it as internal monitors were not in place for sake of time. I don’t believe that was Barbara’s fault though because not even the Nurses were prepared or believeing I was ready to push. Everything was and still is fine with baby boy, who is now 9months, exclusively breastfed, and developing normally.
To each his own, but I would only recommend her if you are okay with being assertive, even to a medical professional.
Barbara Charles is the most loving and caring woman I have ever met. She goes above and beyond for her patients. We just had a home birth with her and it was by far the greatest experience. She stayed over our house and was constantly checking on me and our new born baby. Barbara Charles deserves more than 5 stars! It really pisses me off to see that some ppl have negative things to say about her. She is nothing short of the best midwife on Long Island!
