Our Philosophy

We want our pregnant mothers to receive the best possible medical care, while still maintaining a family-centered approach. We offer in-house ultrasound and coordinate care with other specialists. We believe in open communication about how your pregnancy and labor unfold and actively involving you in health care decisions, with the ultimate goal of a healthy mom and baby. Congratulations!

Important Practice Information

  • Visits at our practice are split between Dr. Serr and our nurse practitioners. Most ultrasounds are done in-office in our family-accommodating ultrasound room.
  • Our patients deliver at the newly renovated Family Birth Center at Dignity Health Care / Mercy Medical Center – Redding. Our doctors do not travel to Dignity / Mercy Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital in Red Bluff.
  • We deliver patients who have had a prior cesarean section by repeat cesarean, due to the risk of life-threatening uterine rupture. Dignity / Mercy hospitals do not allow a patient to VBAC (deliver vaginally after a prior cesarean section).
  • We do not accept patients who take illegal drugs or use medical marijuana during their pregnancy. We reserve the right to perform random drug tests.
  • Dr. Serr delivers most of her patients, but does share after-hours and weekend call with Dr. Sam VanKirk, Dr. Amy Keurentjes, Dr. Greg Skipitis, Dr. Jorge Peña, and Dr. Rene Williams.
  • We do not provide physician backup for home births or midwife deliveries.
  • We are experienced at caring for women who are “AMA” (over age 35).
  • We are not currently accepting pregnancy patients with very high risk pregnancies – such as patients with Lupus, Type I Diabetes, Seizure Disorder, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or morbid obesity.
  • We expect our patients to be an active participant in their medical - pregnancy care, including being commpliant with routine pregnancy lab testing and visits.
