MaKaela's Story

Three years ago, I found out I was pregnant with my first little boy, and I was really scared. My mom had recommended that I see a midwife, and I liked the things she talked about and the points she made, so I just called and scheduled an appointment. I hadn’t seen anyone there before, and I ended up with Jenny Taubel.

I felt instantly comfortable with her, and I became more confident throughout my pregnancy journey. Everything went really well with my pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I felt very attached to the whole experience. And that’s when I found out they were closing their OB Department, so I was not able to see Jenny for my six-week postpartum checkup.

I kind of felt like I never got closure from that, and it made me really sad. But I was determined to keep an eye out, because I was going to follow Jenny wherever she went. I searched her all the time and when I found out she was joining Women’s Care of Wisconsin, I made an appointment right away because I was due for a checkup.

Anyway, I live in Neshkoro, and everything is kind of far away from me. I was driving 50 minutes to my appointments with Jenny for our first visits; now I was adding another half hour to that drive to get to Appleton, but getting back to Jenny was worth it. And I got closure from that first chapter.

Then I got pregnant with my second; she was just born in June. I went into this second pregnancy with a lot more confidence, although we got a bit of a scare at the 20-week ultrasound, as my baby seemed not to be growing quite as much as she needed to (borderline fetal growth restriction). Luckily, she stayed above that threshold so that I was able to stay with Jenny, and everything went great from there.

Jenny's so good at bringing calm to situations. I remember during my first pregnancy I was so nervous I couldn’t even think of questions to ask her because everything was so new to me. And I would go home and Google stuff and be so scared. There was one appointment where just I broke down in tears asking her all these questions, and she made me feel so much better.

Honestly, when I’m with Jenny I feel like I'm being taken care of by my own mother. She has such a gentle manner.

Paige's Story

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gass since before I became pregnant, and from the very beginning, she has been nothing short of incredible.

Before pregnancy, she provided the most thoughtful and thorough care. From routine visits to procedures, she always took the time to explain, listen, and make me feel completely cared for. When I became pregnant with my first daughter, I had a rough pregnancy marked by sickness and the uncertainty that comes with being a younger mom. Through it all, Dr. Gass was a steady, compassionate presence. She was always confident, comforting, and supportive in every way. When it came time to be induced, I was anxious about the unknowns of labor, but she helped calm my fears and made me believe I could do it. And she was right there by my side every step of the way.

Just one year later, I became pregnant with my second daughter. This time, my pregnancy came with new challenges, as I was diagnosed with IUGR and needed to be induced at 38 weeks. Once again, Dr. Gass was amazing — she explained everything clearly, reassured me, and helped me feel completely at ease. Thanks to her care, I delivered another healthy baby girl, and I’ll always be grateful for her guidance and support.

In October 2024, I found out I was pregnant again. Sadly, that pregnancy ended in miscarriage. It was one of the hardest experiences I’ve faced, but Dr. Gass was exactly what I needed during that time. She made me feel seen, heard, and truly cared for. She never rushed me through appointments and provided both medical and emotional support in the most compassionate way possible.

Then, in 2025, I found out I was expecting again. After what I had just gone through, I was anxious and fearful, but Dr. Gass went above and beyond to help me feel supported. She encouraged me to come in for check-ins anytime I needed reassurance, which gave me so much peace of mind. In August, I delivered my third baby (a boy) once again, I was diagnosed with IUGR and needed to be induced at 37 weeks. I felt confident knowing that Dr. Gass was there. She guided me through everything just like she always had.

When my son had to spend time in the NICU, she continued to check in on not just me, but him as well — a small gesture that meant the world to me during such a vulnerable time.

Dr. Gass has been my doctor, my steady hand, and a true source of comfort through every pregnancy, loss, and new beginning. She is genuinely one of a kind, and I tell her all the time she’s simply the best.
