*** from wife Marsha Lee*** I have nothing but amazing things to say about this staff. As a women who didnt plan on having any children I was beyond petrified when I found out that my birth control failed and I was pregnant. Not only was I pregnant but I was sick constantly during my entire pregnancy. During the last trimester I had preeclampsia and had appointments every Monday and Thursday to do ultrasounds to ensure my baby girl was healthy. At this point I felt like I become family with the staff since I was there 2 times a week. Joanne and Rita were always smiling when I came in. My insurance only covered a percentage of the ultrasound so I had to pay $135 twice a week out of pocket which was impossible since I was on bed rest and could not work. I expressed my concerns with midwives Kia and Valerie and let them know that financially I could not afford to do what the doctors were recommending. To make a long story short the doctors and staff have weekly meetings and during the meeting after speaking with Valeria and Kia they decided that they would waive the remainder of my ultrasound fees and do the services pro bono as they would like to ensure that I had a healthy and safe delivery. I remember crying in the office that day as I never received such an amazing gift from a group of strangers. After having Madison I was in the hospital for five days. Every single day, including the day that I delivered my daughter someone from the staff came to visit me and check on me. A couple weeks after having my daughter I went for a follow up and all of the nurses were upset with me because I did not bring my baby so they could meet them. Of course I had to make a special visit back. Honestly I would prefer to come here then to come to my primary care physician. Dr. Oats... you are an amazing woman and I just want to make sure you know that! Lizette thanks for everything! Everyone from the Atlanta Gynecology and Obstetrics family I just want to say thank you!

I have been with Atlanta Gyn & Ob for about 9 yrs now...and I wanted to put up a review, mainly because of all the bad ones Ive read lately. This place is probably the smoothest experience thus far, in my opinion, than most doctors Ive had. I had Dr. Jennifer for my first delivery, I didnt find her to be rude, or have horrible "bedside manner" Im not even sure what that means. I was 21, scared about my first baby and she was pretty nice to me. Shes no longer there, so its not like anybody is gonna be bothered by her now... Anywho! I have been there a lot recently (because Im on baby #2 and have regular visits)and I love the staff, most have great personalities , so if youre the sensitive type....youd think anyone was rude. To someone with a sense of humor: theyre a scream. lol. I was originally referred to this office by my neighbor (and nurse) who worked at Dekalb Medical for eons. She had nothing but nice things to say about Dr. Bonk. I love Julia Smookler, very warm and personable! Shes been my main midwife through my second pregnancy. I have had all three ladies though, and theyre great! Not a bad experience from this lady (and right now, I am 3 days past my due date, miserably pregnant and still saying this!)

Pros: The doctors are nice, its close to the hospital, you can find a place to park most of the time. Cons: The workers and front desk staff are RUDE! I went here with my first pregnancy and was very dissapointed how I was treated. The wait times were long and never really felt like they really cared about me as a person. Felt more like cattle, being pushed along so they could squeeze in one more person in. They are more concerned about $$$ than you as a person. They will hassle you at the office if you dont pay your "future bill" for the delivery costs (Im not talking about $30 co-pay, but $1200) that hasnt even happened...I understand somewhat, but when I told the lady my husband gets paid at the end of the week and then I could pay, she should have been more understanding. I wasnt that close to my due date yet. I WOULD NOT recommend this place to my friends and WILL NOT be returning.

I never write reviews. ever. i hate review writers, generally. But this is for womankind, dude. Ive been a patient here since I was a teenager (currently in mid twenties). It was fine for just run of the mill annuals. But if you have a question, dont expect an answer. I just got off the phone with Nurse Eleanor who was insanely rude to me, legit acting like I ruined her day with my question. Yeah, maybe she was having a bad day...but Ive had numerous other nurses here also be equally as rude. In 2015 for my yearly check up I asked for a full STD screening, to which the intake nurse said "but youve been in a relationship for months, why do you need a test." Excuse me? Why is that your business? Its not. If youre cool with that atmosphere maybe this is the place for you. But if you value your dignity and want your healthcare professionals to treat you with respect I would say look elsewhere.

I was very excited to start a new journey with these women because they had doctors that deal with high risk pregnancies and also encourage natural births with their midwives. Also I had a lot of people tell me personally how great they were and that they had their babies delivered by these women. Well, I will never get to experience that because they denied me as a patient today and stated "I wasnt a good fit for them." When asked why they said they couldnt give that information and it was at the doctors discretion. I was truly hurt because I am in need of a high risk doctor as I just found out I have fibroids after my sonogram was done and was hoping to get my process. Not sure what kind of patients they are looking for but I guess its not ones with fibroids smh. Back on the hunt again.

Help me understand why this place gets great ratings. We were 6 minutes late coming from the ER still in obvious pain. While there was no one int the waiting room, we were told that we couldnt be seen and we had to reschedule. The next appointmentt given was in 2 weeks. While we were driving away, we received a call saying that we could come in on Monday but call the check for cancellations. Low and behold there was a cancellation but we were told that the DR couldnt see us because the schedule was tight and insisted that we keep the schedule on Monday. Thanks but no thanks. We will take our business to someone who cares about thier patients well in this case a potential patient.

Ive been with this practice for almost 15 years, and Ive been pretty unhappy for awhile now. The majority of the time it is impossible to get a prescription refill in a timely manner. You have to leave a message and you may or may not hear back. I called for some anti-nausea meds for pregnancy and it literally took them four business days (six days total!!!) and at least three messages to get the correct drug and dosage called in. I am halfway through a pregnancy and not once have I felt like they really cared about me as a patient. I recently switched practices and am so much happier with the staff, the thoroughness of the midwife, and the overall feeling of my new OBs office.
