We are excited to introduce our nurse-midwife, Maribeth Claassen, who will be delivering at Cottage Hospital and taking call with Dr. Ramos beginning in January 2020.
Maribeth provides full scope midwifery care, which encompasses well-women care throughout the lifespan along with expertise in the care of women during low-risk pregnancy, labor and birth.
Maribeth earned her bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University and holds a masters in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. She is board certified through the American Midwifery Certification Board and has over nine years of experience delivering babies as a midwife.
A former NICU nurse, Maribeth has a variety of experience as a midwife. Following her training at Penn, Maribeth completed a fellowship at a freestanding birth center on the Texas-Mexico border. She then worked in private practice in Los Angeles where she held privileges at Cedars-Sinai and St John's in Santa Monica as well as attending births within the home.
Maribeth has spent the past five years working as a laborist in downtown Los Angeles with a large midwifery practice where she cares for an underserved population at California Hospital Medical Center. During this time she has been a part of Dr. Ramos's office family seeing patients twice a week in our office here as well as assisting Dr. Ramos with C-sections. We are excited for her expanded role in our office and at Cottage Hospital beginning in January.
Maribeth lives in Mission Canyon with her husband and three boys, the first a C-section and the second and third successful VBACs.
