About

At Fourth Trimester Doc, four physicians deliver integrative postpartum and newborn care directly in patients' homes. Dr. Michelle Haggerty founded the practice around 2023 under Olive & Hazel Health, PLLC, after recognizing a critical gap in postpartum medicine. The practice serves families across the Twin Cities and Rochester, MN, with virtual lactation consultations available nationwide and internationally.

The practice accepts fewer than 200 patients annually and provides 60-minute appointments. Physicians offer same-day and next-day visits, after-hours access, and 24/7 direct contact by text, phone, or email. Services span postpartum medicine, infant feeding and lactation, frenotomy, in-home phototherapy for jaundice, osteopathic manipulative medicine, cranial sacral therapy, perinatal mental health support, and integrative matrescence consultations. Fourth Trimester Doc holds the distinction of being the first and only physician practice in Minnesota providing this model of care for birthing people and newborns. Dr. Haggerty also co-founded the Center for 4th Trimester Care, a national nonprofit working to advance fourth trimester medicine across the country.
