Post a testimonial for Gayle Gilman
7/9/2026
Gayle was amazing to work with! She was so informative and really took the time to educate my husband and I before our delivery. She made sure all of our questions were answered and ensured we were comforable with the information she delivered. During labor she was so respectful of our boundaries and was always available to support us in whatever we needed. I could not have gotten through my labor without her. Post partum she was always available and our debreifing session was much appreciated!

I have know Gayle for over 20 years and she is an exceptional person. She is extremely bright, kind, thoughtful and would be my first choice to be by my side to help me deliver my baby and help me with pre and post partum care.
She is very thoughtful and listens attentively to people and is a great advocate to all those she is caring for.
I would trust her with my care wholeheartedly and as a pediatrician myself, I think you cannot find a better person to be a doula .

Gayle was great - very professional and very caring, as well as very easygoing. We did not have a straightforward labor, and she was there for us when we needed it. Excellent pre- and post-partum care as well.
Go With Gayle!
