MomDoc Midwives
A fully integrated practice where certified nurse midwives and OB/GYN physicians work together, so you always have the right care at the right time.
Midwifery by the Numbers
I've been seeing Ramona at MomDoc Midwives for the past 12 years. She caught all 3 of my babies! She truly cares about you.
Carolyn
MomDoc Midwives Patient
Professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and best of all, kind. Karen actually listened to my input and made sure all my concerns were addressed.
Mary
MomDoc Midwives Patient
I love my midwives here! I had two babies 17 months apart and went here for every appointment. The same midwives that could deliver -- my experience was amazing!

Your Birth, Your Way
MomDoc Midwives exists because we believe childbirth is not a medical event to be managed; it's a life experience to be supported. Our Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice registered nurses who bring the full scope of midwifery care within the safety net of an integrated OB/GYN practice.
What makes us different? You're never choosing between a midwife or a doctor. Our midwives and physicians work side by side, collaborating on your care plan, sharing the same medical records, and backed by the same hospital partnerships. If your birth plan needs to change, the transition is seamless because your entire team already knows you.
This isn't a standalone birthing center. This is the midwifery model of care with the full resources of Arizona's largest independent OB/GYN practice behind it.

Why Midwifery?
You might picture a midwife and think "home birth." That is one path, but modern midwifery is much broader. A Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) is an advanced practice registered nurse with specialized training in pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, and lifelong gynecological health.
Midwifery care is not alternative medicine. It is evidence-based healthcare delivered with a philosophy that prioritizes listening, informed choice, and minimal intervention when things are going well. Your midwife spends more time with you at each visit. She explains every test, every option, every decision point. She does not rush you.
The biggest misconception? That choosing a midwife means giving up access to medical intervention if you need it. At MomDoc Midwives, the opposite is true. Our midwives work alongside OB/GYN physicians every single day. If your birth needs a different plan, the transition happens within the same team, the same chart, the same hospital.
Midwifery is not about saying no to modern medicine. It is about saying yes to a different kind of attention.
The Living Room Experience
We reimagined the doctor's office to match the midwifery philosophy of low-stress, high-comfort care. We call it "The Living Room."
Gone are the sterile waiting rows and the glass partition windows. Instead, you're greeted by a MomDoc Concierge who personally guides you through your visit, often taking you directly to your private suite. It's about respect, comfort, and removing the anxiety from your prenatal care. You aren't just a chart number; you're a guest in our home.
The Integrated Advantage
Many women worry about what happens if something unexpected arises during pregnancy or birth. With MomDoc Midwives, you never have to worry about "transferring care" to a stranger. Our midwives and physicians share the same practice, the same offices, and the same commitment to you.
We are affiliated with six hospital systems across the Valley:
- Dignity Chandler Regional Medical Center
- Dignity Mercy Gilbert Medical Center
- Banner Estrella Medical Center
- Abrazo Arrowhead Campus
- HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center
- HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center
Meet Our Midwives Providers
Keli Amparan
CNM, DNP | Certified Nurse Midwife
Keli grew up in Los Gatos, a small town in Northern California's Bay Area. She left home when she enlisted in the Air Force and spent ten years as an avionics technician, repairing F-16s and F-111s in England, Korea, and Las Vegas. It was in Korea that she met her husband through a running club called the Hash Hound Harriers, they have been together 25 years now. After the military, Keli's career took another turn. She earned her nursing degree and gained extensive labor and delivery experience as an RN at hospitals across Arizona, including Banner Ironwood, Phoenix Baptist, Chandler Regional, Saint Joseph's, and Banner Gateway. It was at Phoenix Baptist that a group of midwives she worked alongside encouraged her to take the next step. She earned her midwifery degree from Frontier Nursing University in 2013 and later completed her Doctorate of Nursing Practice at Duke University. Keli brings a special focus to perinatal loss and bereavement support, natural childbirth, and Centering Pregnancy group prenatal care, the kind of work that asks a provider to be both clinically skilled and deeply present, something her unusual journey from fighter jets to the birth room uniquely prepared her for.

Brynea Daman
CNM | Certified Nurse Midwife
Brynea's path to midwifery started in high school, when she met a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner who left a lasting impression. After high school, she headed south to escape the cold, earning her nursing degree at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, where she also met her husband, James. As a new nurse, she worked alongside a group of nurse-midwives whose approach to labor and birth care changed everything for her. Brynea went on to earn her midwifery degree from Frontier Nursing University in 2014, bringing over six years of nursing experience in maternal/newborn and labor and delivery, with a specialty in high-risk obstetrics. Her clinical journey spans hospitals across Oklahoma, Virginia, and the Washington, D.C. area, including Hillcrest Medical Center, Georgetown University Hospital, and Sibley Memorial Hospital. Brynea has also volunteered on medical mission trips to Uganda and Mexico, experiences that deepened her belief that every woman, regardless of circumstance, deserves attentive, respectful care during birth.
