Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wouldn’t recommend as a midwife
As a midwife she is unprofessional and unreliable. Habitually late, doesn’t respect boundaries, and doesn’t do as she says she will. This was a major issue for us because she did not provide the healthcare referrals my baby needed. It was a huge headache. Her postpartum care was also lacking, immediately following the birth. She didn’t have the supplies she needed and did not follow up properly. I had to take care of things she specifically said she would do but didn’t. Overall she was disrespectful (providing unsolicited personal advice in the name of activism), untrustworthy and unreliable. She did not do right by my newborn and I. Wouldn’t recommend.

Attentive and lovely
Michele started out as my midwife and is now also our family doctor and dear friend. As someone who has studied up a lot on homebirth (and birthed one of my three babies with her) I will say that Michele is an incredible midwife. A rarity. It’s a plus she’s also a doctor and helped me through overcoming anemia in my pregnancy, has helped me through mastitis, my son through allergic reactions and has been extremely helpful during cold and flu season even teaching me ways to support my newborn while avoiding toxic conventional medications. She’s warm and friendly AND attentive. She may *seem* scattered as one review said but from having had seen her multiple times she’s got the memory of a computer and I’ve been surprised about some of the details she remembers that I’ve told her in passing. 20/10 recommended her.

BEST DOC EVER!
Can’t express how grateful I am to have this woman in my families life. Her care and attention to our health is beyond anything I have ever received from any doctor. She’s intuitive. She’s smart. And she really cares. I am honored to have her as our family doc. Can’t say enough good things…

Above and beyond pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. I truly believe there is a midwife for every birthing mama, and Dr Michele’s style may not be for everyone, but she is my perfect match. She showed up and held space in ways I will be forever grateful for. Because of her, I was able to have my “dream birth” She taught my partner and I what to expect, and helped us be prepared and educated on every detail of choices during pregnancy and the birth itself. She truly helped me feel empowered and capable. What a gift! We will be forever grateful for her skilled and capable hands, for helping bring our son into this world in the most smooth and peaceful way. Truly a pleasure to work with her, and looking forward to growing more babies and working with her again . The world is a better place because of her passion and dedication. Forever grateful she decided to move to Maui and be our midwife. If you are in the market for an empowering birth experience, call this doctor mama! Best !!

A concerned husband and father – Apr 01, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sayball?
My wife was her patient and we had a homebirth. Dr.Sayball meant all of our expectations. She is very knowledgeable and answered any questions or concerns we had. This was our second child and homebirth but first birth with her. Our experience at the birth with Michele was extremely professional, calm, caring, supportive. Overall, she did so much to support our entire family during the prenatal and postpartum period. I would strongly recommend her as a midwife and naturopathic doctor.

Dr Michele Sayball is my ND and LM. She has helped me to navigate through the complicated worlds of Lyme Disease and infertility. Because of her expansive knowledge on these topics I have went on to have my first healthy and confident pregnancy and non-medicated delivery. I find she gives me thorough and organized information about my health, answers all my questions, and allows me to do get a very clear understanding of wear my treatment plan goes next. I highly recommend you to see Dr S!

Michele was extremely responsive when my son had Lyme- we did allopathic medicines as well as herbs and comfort measures that got him back on his feet and well. She worked with my mother with bone density issues and my sister with anxiety. She is personable and available. She is also a kind, compassionate Midwife who truly believes in women’s bodies and spirits.

Dr. Sayball is an amazing doctor. Not only was she able to really dig into my health issues but she educates you in the process. She genuinely cares about her patients. Saybal is fantastic about following up with you and checking on your ongoing progress, which I've never experienced with any other doctor. I've never had a more dedicated, caring individual as a health care provider. Strongly recommend her!

I've consulted with Dr Sayball over the course of 3 years. She has been a blessing to my child and me. She is a powerful combination of naturopath and herbalist. Her knowledge is both broad and deep and she is on the cutting-edge of the latest developments. She will also email me articles or videos that may help my child. She is thoughtful, compassionate, empathetic and her patients biggest cheerleader. She has the knowledge which coupled with her genuine concern for her patients is priceless.

Dr Sayball has changed my families life. She truly cares about her patients and is walking me through how to create the best lifestyle for my little girl who has struggled with many issues and other doctors prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic without any concern about the long term effects that could have on my child. I am no longer afraid for my daughters future, several months now given the tools Dr Sayball gives to make a better life for my household. I love absolutely love her!

Dr. Sayball was present for the birth of three of our seven children. We appreciate her approach to healthcare and midwifery. As a midwife she is empathetic, patient, caring and knowledgeable. In addition to being an excellent midwife we really appreciated her background and training as a physician. As an ND Dr. Sayball brings a unique knowledge base combined with a broad range of clinical practice. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comprehensive holistic approach to their healthcare.

Dr Sayball is the most thorough and thoughtful doctor I have ever had. She listens to the patient and you feel from the beginning that you are in a collaboration. After seeing a traditional doctor about fertility issues, and being told that IVF was my only option and that it was a numbers game, Dr. Sayball was a breath of fresh air. She was able to diagnose me and from there treat me with all natural remedies. I highly recommend Dr. Sayball.
