Childbirth is one of life’s most exciting, challenging, and memorable events. Here at Beth Israel, our goal is to provide our patients with a positive childbirth experience through high-quality, compassionate care. Our multidisciplinary staff, progressive technology, and inviting facilities combine to provide the best health care for your diverse needs. From low-risk to high-risk, midwives to perinatologists, Beth Israel covers the full spectrum of obstetrical care.

To ease your childbirth experience, we offer:

Personalized Care
Our highly-trained obstetrics team, nurses, anesthesiologists and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) assist your personal physician or midwife in providing exactly the care you need and want.

Diverse Caregivers
Our staff includes physicians and midwives, both of whom provide complete, quality care.

Round-the-clock Service
Our neonatologists and pediatricians are available 24/7

Departments Located on One Floor
Our state-of-the-art labor and delivery suite is on the same floor as our Operating Rooms (OR) and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). If you need such options as epidural anesthesia, an operating room, or specialists skilled in high-risk pregnancy and delivery, they will be immediately accessible.

Alternative Therapies
If you wish to avoid medications, we offer non-medicative options such as visualization, position changes, massage therapy and aromatherapy. Our specially-trained nurses and doulas administer these therapies.

Immediate Pain Relief
A full range of in-house anesthesia options and anesthesiologists who are available 24 hours a day provide the best choice of pain relief for your needs.

The Relationship You Want...The Care You Deserve!

Lisa Sherwood is known throughout Orange County for her compassionate Birthing and Well Woman Care support. She has an amazing ability to use balance and common sense to educate, support and care her patients. Offering them safe options both medically and alternatively.

As a former labor and delivery nurse, Lisa's desire is to assist women in achieving their desired birth experiences through developing a trusting relationship with their health care provider. Through this relationship, Lisa believes that a healthy partnership develops between the childbearing family and the Certified Nurse Midwife.

One of the most important times in a woman's life! Your initial prenatal visit will last approximately one hour. During that visit, we will discuss how to achieve a healthy pregnancy-through lifestyle, diet, exercise, and education. We will thoroughly review your health history and perform a comprehensive physical examination. Laboratory tests will be done based on your individual needs.

Lisa will be with you during active labor and birth. She will assist you and your birth partner in working with your labor, encouraging you through words, massage, positioning, and variety of other techniques. Lisa will remain with you during the early postpartum period to ensure that breastfeeding is well established and that your recovery is progressing normally. She will visit you in the hospital daily until discharge home. A pediatrician will come to the hospital each day to see your baby and discuss his/her progress with you.

"Part of my responsibility as a physician is to provide education and options to my patients. I believe each patient has the right to be the ultimate decision maker in her own care. This can only be achieved if she understands the necessary information and has a mutually trusting relationship with her doctor."
"The excitement and diversity of obstetrics and gynecology is what attracted me to this specialty. I find it very rewarding to help my patients with their individual medical needs."
Originally from Alabama, she has been a resident of Orange County since 1985. She lives locally with her husband and two young sons.
