We are so very proud of — and so very grateful to God for — the many lives we’ve touched. Here are just a few of the stories behind those lives and the ways they have been impacted by United Hearts Life.

“When I met Dr. Freeman-Brndjar, I just knew she was the right doctor for me and my children.”

Dr. Brndjar and her staff have been such a gift to me, my health, and my family. I started seeing Dr. Brndjar after moving to the area during my 3rd pregnancy and her approach was a sigh of relief for me compared to that of previous doctors. I loved knowing who would be delivering my baby and for the first time in 6 years my personal decision to not take hormonal birth control was not only respected, but encouraged.
Dr. Brndjar has now delivered two of my four children. My youngest ended up being an emergency c-section and both my husband and I were blown away by how in-control she was of a very suddenly out-of-control situation. After his birth, I ended up with a very intense case of postpartum anxiety where Dr. Brndjar received more panicked midnight calls than she bargained for. Even still, she never made me feel like a burden-- she always listened to me, reassured me, and made sure I was taken care of. As long as she is practicing, I would not trust my prenatal care to anyone else and I cannot recommend her enough.
The nurses and staff are no exception to the excellence I have experienced in Dr. Brndjar's office. The second you walk up the steps you are not only greeted with smiling faces, but asked "How are you doing" and "What's new?" You immediately feel like a welcomed member of their community. What I have also greatly appreciated about the office staff is how kind and welcoming they are to your children. While it's never ideal to bring a child to your doctor's appointments, sometimes it's just what you need to do and Dr. Brndjar and her staff are immensely accommodating. With children's chairs and books in the waiting room, a willing audience for their stories and chit-chat, and lollipops on the way out, my kids LOVE visiting Dr. Brndjar's office with me.
For anyone looking for an OBGYN that doesn't just see you as another patient but as a unique person worth caring for and about, look no further than the love, care, and support of Dr. Brndjar and her amazing staff.

Dr. Brndjar is incredible. I have been seeing her as my OBGYN since I was 16 and cannot imagine seeing another doctor. Not only has she taken great care of my health and my baby's health throughout my pregnancies, but also she is lovely to speak with at every appointment.
It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person, with outstanding quality of medical care.
I highly recommend becoming her patient!

My husband and I started using the Creighton model for natural family planning in 2014. It really helped me become in-tune with my body. We conceived our first son about six months after we started trying. My pregnancy was overall normal.
The day that I went into labor, my body did not cooperate. I ended up with polyhydroamnios, requiring a c-section. During surgery the pressure from the fluid caused my uterus to contract around the baby and would not release him. Dr. Freeman Brndjar and the resident worked very hard to get my son out. When Dr/ Freeman Brndjar felt she was out of options she stopped and started to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet out loud, while she was praying the resident reached in again and pulled him out. He was not breathing. His APGAR scores at birth were 1, 1, and 4. After CPR and being intubated he started to breathe. He was transferred to a different hospital and placed on a cooling blanket. He had suffered two strokes, and a skull fracture.
Dr. Freeman Brndjar and her staff went above and beyond for our baby and myself. They came to the NICU multiple times and prayed over him. While I was still in the hospital, they arranged to have him baptized with my permission. He spent 16 days in the NICU, the Doctors were blown away by his progress.
I truly believe that if Dr Freeman Brndjar hadn’t pleaded with God and invited him into her OR, that my son would not be here today. Today, my son Lincoln, is five years old with no residual deficits, he is truly a miracle.
My husband and I went on to have two more children ages 3 and 1. Dr Freeman Brndjar was extremely proactive in my care during my pregnancies and deliveries (as she is with every patient). It is so refreshing to work with a Doctor that gives God all of the glory and turns to him for guidance in her patients’ care. The staff has become like family over the past 5 years. When going in to the office for pre/post natal care or my yearly, I love seeing all of their faces, there is no other place I would entrust my care to.
