Back when I first started this blog, I would either "smile" or "rant" about a variety of things. I'm going to go back to those roots for this post, which is about a month past due.
When I found out I was pregnant with my ever so cute #SmilingBaby, I just signed the lease to my house in Marietta, GA. I immediately began researching OBGYNs in Marietta. I came across
OB-GYN Associates. Now, I didn't just look at their website and pick them. Nope. I researched all the physicians first and then made the call. All of the doctors came with glowing reviews. I did appreciate the fact that they had a very nicely done website. I liked that they had all the patient forms online so I didn't spend time in the office to do it.
I had to see all the doctor's in the practice and the midwives so I would be comfortable with all of them. All the doctor's are awesome. They are super nice and friendly. Being a first timer, they did a good job at putting me at ease.
Dr. Terry Kelley ended up delivering Cristian via c-section. He was great. My recovery time was super fast. I was up and walking a few hours after recovery. I was up and moving fairly normally after a week. Really, I wasn't in that much pain at all. He did a fabulous job. I almost can't even see the incision. I was very pleased.
Dr. Windom came and checked on me while I was recovering in the hospital. He also did the circumcision. He was one of my favs when I rotated through during my pregnancy. He's very well known in the medical community and just overall, super friendly and a good doctor.
Dr. Tackitt released me from the hospital. He was also the doctor I saw the appointment when I found out I was having a boy. That was a good day. Again, nothing but good things to say.
I only saw Dr. Kimberly Huffman once, but really liked her. She was very nice. I was concerned about excessive swelling in my ankles and she was good about going over ways to reduce swelling and warning signs.
I saw Dr. Chappell twice. She was the first doctor I saw there. She did a good job of setting expectations for my pregnancy, going over my history and possible complications. I thought she was funny and and very to the point. She put me at ease.
All of the doctors are fabulous. But I have to say a few things about the nurses too. You get to know them going every month and then weekly. All of them are great. I've gone back twice with Cristian for follow up appointments. It was nice to let them see the baby that they helped monitor.
So...most definitely a smile at OB-GYN Associates of Marietta, GA. As long as I'm in the Atlanta area, I'll go there.
