The following is a list of practitioners in the greater Grand Rapids area who offer services supporting natural childbirth. Grand Rapids Natural Parenting does not recommend or endorse any particular practitioner.

The doctors on this list were put here based on recommendations from parents who had a good natural childbirth experience with this practitioner. However, every birth is different. The practitioner who works best for one family may not be the best choice for another. We strongly recommend you interview several choices before making your decisions.

Dr. Brenda Zook, M.D.
Applewood Family Medicine (Spectrum Health)
Sparta, MI
(616)390-8470
referred by: Melissa H.
"Dr. Zook always treated me as an intelligent woman in charge of the decision making regarding my birth. She was very supportive of my wishes for a natural childbirth, and even offered suggestions that hadn't occurred to me. She was always warm, personable, and willing to answer any questions at my prenatal visits. The couple of times we disagreed on the best way to proceed, she always respectfully gave her recommendation and then stated that it was my choice. She was always very respectful of my wishes. Despite not being "on-call" the night my son was born, she was there to catch our baby. She is an excellent doctor for anyone looking for a natural hospital birth. I loved having only one doctor taking care of both myself and my baby."
