Jihye Kim - Midwife

Midwifery Service

Practice

I qualified as a midwife in 2010 and take great pleasure in looking after mothers in the Waitakere, North Shore and Auckland regions.

I am able to assist mothers giving birth at National Women's, Waitakere and North Shore Hospitals.

My back up midwives are Yoomi Kim and Vivian Wei. You will have the opportunity to meet with them before your baby is due.

How To Make An Appointment

Please contact me on my mobile phone during normal business hours when you suspect that you are pregnant. If I am unable to answer your call please leave a message and I will get back to you just as soon as I am able.

We will then arrange a time to meet and discuss your pregnancy and needs of a Lead Maternity Carer.
