| - 3 months into my second pregnancy, my father passed away and on top of that, I was having regular asthma exacerbations. To be on the safe side, my primary OB referred me to a high risk doctor and I was lucky to have met Dr. Iriye.
The entire staff is fantastic. From the front desk, to the ultrasound technicians, to the nurses and doctors. It is a very professional setting, but also extremely warm and caring. I remember a particular incident when I had fallen and was eager to come in for my weekly monitoring and hear the heartbeat and just make sure everything was ok. Dr. Iriye told me to come in whenever I needed that reassurance of hearing the heartbeat. He even brought me to the front desk and told them that if I ever came in wanting to check the baby, they should send me right in. I never had anymore scares but it was comforting to know that I had no reason to worry.
I came in every week to get monitored for about 30 minutes. I would sit in a comfortable recliner chair in a room with about 8 other women as the heartbeat sounds of our babies would fill the room. The women gathered in that room had a variety of different reasons for their high risk pregnancies, but we all had the same goal: to have a healthy full term pregnancy.
And every few weeks, I would have a 4D ultrasound and see Dr. Iriye. He was able to get my asthma under control and taught me methods to manage the emotional stress that I was dealing with. I was also still seeing my primary OB and the communication between the 2 of them as they co-managed my pregnancy was seamless. And as a result, I was blessed with a healthy baby boy. He is now almost 2 years old, and still today- I cannot thank the staff enough for their expert care and peace of mind.
