Health workers who provide obstetric and neonatal services, especially midwives, must be capable and skilled in providing services in accordance with established standards. Improving the quality of maternal and child health services provided by midwives is expected to reduce morbidity and mortality. Low patient satisfaction will have an impact on the number of visits to midwives. Service standards determine the quality of public health services and are very influential on the level of patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of patient satisfaction with midwife services from the dimensions of responsivity and the dimension of Assurance. The research method uses a survey approach. Primary data were obtained using a questionnaire for 52 pregnant women conduct pregnancy checks at the Puskesmas obtained by purposive sampling technique.
