“I met Janell at Maternidad La Luz Birth Center in El Paso, Texas. From 27 weeks, she attended to my pregnancy. Every appointment and every exam she did with a lot of professionalism, patience and love. The truth is, I am very grateful to her for the treatment she gave me - she made me feel like her real sister. She hugged me and encouraged me so that I did not give up and in the end I obtained the greatest achievement of my life, my daughter .

From the first day she attended me at the birth center, I felt light and so comfortable and I wanted her to always take care of me, which she did through to the delivery. Labor was a very strong experience but with her help it was wonderful and I felt so good, Janell continued to care for me during my postpartum appointments and she always solved all my doubts, including answering my text messages and helping me.

It was a very nice experience to have met her at that time and I thank her with all my heart for her treatment and patience.  She is an excellent person, as a very capable professional and above all very human.”
