I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and I am a full time member at the Atlanta Medical Center's Family Medicine Teaching Program who train residents to use HypnoBirthing^®- The Mongan Method as an option for patients.

I began delivering babies in 1983. I believed in the use of drugs to manage obstetrical pain. I saw lots of complications including babies with compromised breathing in spite of my best efforts to use good sound medical judgment. I believed that Epidurals were a medical blessing. I had a 25% C-Section rate.

Next I used visual imagery to manage pain. I occasionally still had to use narcotics and a rare epidural. I still saw exhausted babies who were not fully able to bond. I still had a C-Section rate of 25%.

I have made the transition to HypnoBirthing^®- The Mongan Method. I now believe that birthing involves no pain. I have attended over 250 births that have used the techniques and philosophy of HypnoBirthing^®- "The Mongan Method". I realize that I no longer perform deliveries; I attend births and observe the miracle of HypnoBirthing^®- The Mongan Method.

Every mother has been excited about the birth event. Support people become involved in a meaningful way. I have had no complications. No babies have needed Oxygen or any support other than warming by mother's body. My C-Section rate is 3%. I have given absolutely no analgesic drugs since I have used HypnoBirthing^®- The Mongan Method with mothers.

I routinely lecture to medical group about HypnoBirthing^®- The Mongan Method. I have a number of patients and Husbands who love to talk about their experience.
