  • "I've been working with Kayla Cushner at Nuture and she has been exceptionally caring and insightful. I feel cared for and not like another number, which I feel is often the experience at traditional obgyn groups. Thank you Kayla and Nurture."

  • "Alex really helped me with my pelvic floor! She was so knowledgeable and patient with the process. I now have awareness and the tools to keep healthy."

    — Heather B.

  • "The care here is top-notch and you feel like you're at a spa instead of getting your wellness exams. The team is super nice and Dana Ramsey is a breath of fresh air who listens and cares. I can only speak of my gynecological experience and have to say that I have been telling all of my family to go see her. No paper gowns, by-the-way! Her exam room is cozy and warm without the unnecessary starkness of other offices."

  • "I have been seeing Dana since 2018 when she was with PAMF. I choose to follow her to her own practice because the care I received while pregnant felt so genuine and diligent. Dana always listens to my concerns and goes above and beyond for me! I can’t recommend her enough!"

    — Candace L.

  • "Dana and Roxy are amazing. I had been trying to conceive for more than 5 years. In January 2021, I suffered a miscarriage. I was devastated. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep trying but I started seeing Dana in August 2021 and with her knowledge and care I am happy to share that I will be expecting my first baby in January 2023. I am forever grateful for Dana and her team."

  • “I cannot describe what a joy Nurture Women’s Health and Fertility clinic has been to work with. This is the first doctor I’ve worked with where I feel I have an actual relationship. Not only with the doctor, but the entire care team. I really can’t recommend this clinic enough. So happy I found Dana and the rest of the team.”

  • "I felt very welcomed by all the staff and Dr. Alex is fantastic! She listened to my concerns and addressed all of the things I was experiencing with kindness and compassion. She made me feel comfortable and at ease with her recommendations and treatment. She is very knowledgeable and helped me to feel much better than when I first started seeing her."

  • "We just love Dana Ramsey at Nurture Santa Cruz! She’s fantastic! Her energy is so safe and welcoming. I was initially referred to Dana by my acupuncturist, Beth. Then my friend told me I have to see her. I must say, not only is she very kind, but she’s super easy to communicate with. We started our fertility journey by reaching out to Dana Ramsey and PAMF fertility at the same time. It took two months to even talk with a doctor at PAMF. During those two months, my husband and I were able to meet Dana, review my lab work, get two ultrasounds and do a round of IUI! Which was amazing. When you are ready to start the fertility journey, you don’t want to wait around. Time is of the essence. Not only was she easy to schedule with and worked around our schedule. But also SO supportive. Comparing the PAMF initial meeting and the meeting with Dana; PAMF was very clinical. Whereas Dana was clinical while supporting the emotional aspect of our fertility journey. She was genuinely interested in how we were doing. She was gentle with her suggestions with next steps and patient with our questions. When it came to the IUI, she was very thorough, talked with us through everything. Dana was available for questions day/night leading up to the day of IUI. And she had a game plan ready for us when we learned the results of our pregnancy test. This was important to me. I like knowing what the plan is and where we go from here. And she was ready to answer those questions. I am so grateful we did our first IUI with Dana. I knew taking these next steps would leave me feeling very vulnerable and disheartened. Then we walked into her office and I immediately felt optimistic again. The staff at Nurture Santa Cruz are also wonderful. Very sweet, accommodating and knowledgeable with reimbursement from insurance. If anyone else is struggling with fertility and unsure of what the next steps are, go see Dana Ramsey. I can’t say enough great things and will be sending everyone I know to see her."

  • "Seeing Dr. Alex was the best investment I could made postpartum. She truly listens to everything you’re experiencing and is very knowledgeable in helping you fully recover. I highly recommend booking a session with her."

  • "I absolutely love Nurture Women's Health and Fertility! I have been seeing Dana Ramsey for several years for women’s health and more recently esthetics too. First it must be noted that the Nurture office is beautiful. From the moment you walk in it smells amazing. There is always hot tea, filtered water and yummy snacks to eat and drink. I wish I could say I’ve had more time to lounge on the comfy couch in the waiting room but the truth is Dana has always been on time to see me. AS a matter of fact, I see other practitioners in the Nurture office and everyone is very punctual. I fell like this is so rare these days when it comes to doctors offices. Dana herself is incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. I have had in depth conversations with her about topics ranging from proper placement of injectables and skin healing post peel to conversations about fertility, sexual health and perimenopause. I just learned that Dana is the only Menopause Society Certified practitioner in all of Santa Cruz County. The only one recognized as an expert! I feel so lucky to have found her. With Dana I have been able to develop a plan for how I am going to proceed with my health over the next few years including lab testing, staying on top of nutrition and exercise and when to know if I am ready for hormone replacement therapy. I know this is so unusual when going to a doctors office but I always feel better, more relaxed and more empowered with knowledge so I can make the best choices for my own health. I am so glad Santa Cruz has access to a practitioner like Dana!"
