Dr. Tasia Nicole Hulst, MD

Our son was born June 1st of 2023 with an emergency cesarean and was nearly a month premature. He was a surprise in the first place and we were very much not prepared. The whole situation at the hospital was a traumatic mess. The only thing I felt ready for was that I did extensive research on who’d be caring for our baby boy. Minutes after he was born the nurses asked me which doctor I preferred.

Thankfully even while in shock I told them Dr.Hulst. The following morning after we were able to sleep for >1 we awoke to find Dr.Hulst in our hospital room thoroughly examining our son . She personally corrected his tongue tie before we were discharged and in our follow up appointment he appeared to have jaundice. I suspected this , however I assumed it was minor and our bedroom doesn’t have the best lighting so it wasn’t very obvious.

Dr.Hulst tested his bilirubin and although it was elevated she looked at him and had a gut instinct that her equipment wasn’t accurate. She sent us to the hospital to test again to find out his bilirubin was dangerously high.  After a day and a half of phototherapy he was much improved.

Our premature little boy is now in the top 90% for weight and 95% in length. He’s 4 months and can say 5 different words . He’s made so much progress and Dr.Hulst is to be thanked for most of it. We’re so grateful to her for her promptness in his care and excellent judgment.
