Dr. Christopher B Stroud

I appreciate what Dr. Stroud did for me, but this practice is definitely not for everyone. This is a faith-based practice, so do not expect birth control to be prescribed. We knew this going into it, but I wasn't exactly expecting to be given the run-around once it was determined having children is not in our future. Things were great, at first. We finally were getting answers to questions we had re: infertility and moved forward with a plan. 1st surgery was exploratory to see what was happening - stage IV endometriosis. Medication to help reduce adhesions was brutal but helped. 2nd surgery to try and remove what he could. It did help, a lot. I've felt the best I have in YEARS. But now that I can't have kids, it's very hard to get an appt to see Dr. Stroud, even for an annual exam. If you're fertile and religious, it's the perfect place for you.

My husband and I were struggling with infertility and Dr. Stroud was recommended to us. One of the first office visits we had with him, he said "Some people are not meant to have children". For a couple who was struggling with infertility, this is not what we needed to hear. It has been a struggle to trust him ever since. He would not answer my questions and would ignore majority of my emails. He was not understanding nor did he care. I would not recommend this doctor. Before a D&C surgery I had, he was so angry with me because I did not want to do a D&C the day after finding out we lost our precious baby. Then he blamed me, we lost the baby. Having a miscarriage is traumatic enough and then having your doctor treat you so badly just made it into a nightmare.

After 15 years of issues and more than 5 other doctors, Dr. Stroud finally got to the bottom of what I've been going through. We worked on a plan together. He was the first doctor to truly listen to me. He's patient, never rushed, and always giving me his full attention. He performed surgery on me yesterday and I have nothing but good things to say. I wish I had known of him when I had my 3 babies because I feel like my experiences would have been so different!

I had all 3 of my babies with Fertility and Midwifery Care Center and I wish we weren't finished just so I could continue to see Dr. Stroud. I've never had a doctor care for their patients like they do. Every concern I had was addressed and they never tried to rush me out of an appointment. I had to have surgery 2 weeks after my 3rd child was born and Dr. Stroud called me personally a couple days later to see how I was feeling.

He and his staff are so kind and caring. His entire office has so much better of an environment than any of the other Ob offices my wife has dealt with for our first 3 children. She almost never has had to wait more than a few minutes.

Dr Stroud did my surgery to remove a dermoid cyst I've had for years. I received outstanding care. Every OBGYN and women's health centers should hold themselves to the standards that Dr. Stroud and Fertility & Midwifery Care Center have. They helped me manage my hormone levels so I could have healthy pregnancies with my 2 sons as well. I'm grateful I found Fertility & Midwifery Care Center when I did. I won't go anywhere else for women's healthcare, even if it means I have to drive 2 hours to see Dr Stroud. Dr Stroud did my surgery to remove a dermoid cyst I've had for years.

Dr. Stroud is nice upon your visit. He seems like he means well, says he will be there for you. His office is nothing but money hungry. That is all they care about. I hit my deducible when I went to him, meaning it was all free for me... but he didnt accept that. His office wanted 500 up front to schedule the surgery. Then refunded it to me because he "didn't use it" - i.e. he didnt do the surgery correctly because he was rushed for time. In the consult he said he give me a DVD of the surgery. I get one in the mail with a bill for 25 dollars to follow. 4 months post op all the pain returns and he shoves me off on some side doctor. I ask for my record to be seen for a specialist and they want about 25 dollars. Save your money and spend it on someone who actually cares about you!

Super sweet kind and caring staff

My friend, who had had two miscarriages, was never even seen by Dr. Stroud. She was seen by nurse practitioners. She had a third miscarriage under their care. She also endured twice weekly hormone shots which they recommended. (not covered by insurance). These did nothing to prevent her third miscarriage, and I believe there is no scientific evidence to recommend this treatment as helpful. For those who want no birth control, this is the business. Since they do not prescribe birth control. Unbelievable. My friend, who had had two miscarriages, was never even seen by Dr. Stroud. She was seen by nurse practitioners.

He was very good to us during both pregnancies. However, I became septic after my 1st csection and he acted as if it was my fault. I received poor aftercare as well after my 2nd birth. Both were csection deliveries, 1st was emergency 2nd was because I didn't qualify for vac. People share that he prayed with them before surgery; he never did that for me. Overall, yes, he is a good doctor while you are pregnant, but the aftercare I received was horrible.

He and his team were very attentive and willing to work with my wife's intentions for the best chance at a VBAC natural delivery. It didn't go as planned, but they tried everything else before doing a C-section, gave us immediate skin to skin contact, and now we have a perfect baby girl and a healthy, recovered mom. Great job!

Dr. Stroud, Marianne, and their staff treated me respectfully and with much care and concern. Dr. Stroud is a fabulous, caring doctor. He listened to and addressed my concerns, made me feel heard and valued. He prayed with me and my husband before my surgery. Thank You! I’m on the path to a healthy recovery and looking forward to being pain free and completely healed very soon. Thank You for your peaceful, calming, and professional demeanor.

Before Stroud I kept losing at 13w4d. He took the time to listen and made a plan that allowed me to carry further. They did everything they could to keep her in the womb but she still chose to come at 26w6d. I ended up with a blood infection after having her and he was there by my side for the surgery and every step of the way. Our precious Lilly was early but perfect until she got an infection and God took her home after 5w3d of life. Once again the whole staff surrounded us with love

I do not recommend him. I was referred to him when I was having issues in my teens. He was okay until I became pregnant and had lost the mucus plug, I asked to be seen and was. But his staff refused to check me out to make sure I'm okay. 12 hours later I lost my daughter and when he came into the room all he said was "things happen". I never went back to see him again.

We exchanged some e-mails with Dr. Stroud before making the long distance trip to see him. When we saw him in person, he contradicted things he had said about my specific situation through e-mail, saying he agreed with what my current doctor was doing, yet had said in his e-mails he did not agree. Upon requesting a copy of Dr. Stroud's records for me, I found multiple concerning mistakes. Needless to say, when we switched doctors, I did not have Dr. Stroud's records transferred to her.

This doctor IS the doctor you want if you have had pregnancy loss or are high risk. I was able to maintain my 8th pregnancy to full term (and beyond) and bring home my precious and healthy 3rd child. His care and concern for his patients and compassion for women struggling with fertility is off the charts. He is an amazing doctor with an amazing team.

Dr. Stroud was a fabulous, caring doctor. He addressed my concerns. Made me feel heard. He performed my hysterectomy when no other doctors would because I was high risk. He prayed with me before the surgery when I was so scared I would die. Not only did I make it, but I was able to be pain free in a matter of days. Healed and able to get my life back in just 2 weeks.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Stroud. He is by far the best Dr I have had in the 36 years of being alive. He stayed at the hospital while I was in labor and was there to deliver my daughter the next morning. I had a very successful VBAC thanks to this wonderful man who was so very encouraging.

Not as patient centered as he wants to be seen. Really, its his way or the highway. He seems like an advocate because he doesnt want the hospitals to tell him what to do, not because he truely believes in individual decision making.

If I could give them zero stars I would. They were all kinds of nice and friendly in their office but one the labor began they treated my wife and I both like utter crap. The doctor at one point was texting on his phone with one hand in my wife....

Not the doctor for you if you have had losses and/ or high risk pregnancy. I reached out several times when I was in labor and was blown off. "Go back to bed" he said. I almost died. Luckily I listened to my gut and went to the ER. I was lifelined to a different hospital just in time. I had gone to their office just three days before and they did not give adequate care. I'm not trying to hurt their business. I just don't want others put at risk the way I was. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and I should not have.

Wonderful doctor and staff! The 1st time I've ever cried in an office because I felt so loved and cared for!
