Circle for Life Midwifery

Schedule an Appointment

To serve you in the best way possible, our providers see patients by appointments. Please notify us of any issues that may necessitate how soon you need to be seen; patients can expect a same day appointment for urgent problems.

At your initial visit, you will be asked to present your insurance card, photo ID, any necessary co-payments and to complete new patient paperwork. To save time during your first appointment, you may download and complete our new patient paperwork ahead of time and bring it with you to your appointment.

To Cancel or Reschedule

If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you cancel/reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time.

In Case of Emergency

We can be reached through our answering service outside of regular office hours. Please call our main number (203) 944-0242 and dial “0” at anytime for the operator to contact the CNM on call.
