We are having our first baby and are both very new to the whole experience. We have done our research accepted help and advice from both sides of our family, but at the end of the day its your doctor that should be offering the guidance and direction that you need during this 9 month period. After all, it is your monthly insurance payment that is paying their wage. If you are new to the experience of pregnancy and do not already have a family doctor to see, I do not recommend seeing Dr. Nims.(I do not recommend seeing her at all whether its your first baby or not but Im trying to be fair to our situation here.) She is very impersonal and seemingly just going through the motions that shes supposed to go through. Pretty sure the only reason she really remembers my name is because I tell the nurse who I am as I walk in for each appointment and the nurse hands her my files. Which is okay to an extent, I understand that the medical field is a busy stressful occupation and I do not expect perfection. But what put me over the edge is her condescending rude approach towards concerns I had. I was having more intense pregnancy symptoms than what had occurred previously(I am 5 months now) and simply wanted to check in with her to make sure all was well. She was a half hour late for the appointment which is understandable, but has happened often. The nurse was great. She took me in and showed me the babys heart was strong and healthy and reassured me on that end. When I finally did see Dr. Nims to talk about the symptoms it was as if I was not being heard and that I was wasting her time. When trying to explain the severity of the stomach pains I had been feeling I was cut off each time, being told its called being pregnant. Did not have any questions about my symptoms, did not have any advice on how to deal with them, did not offer any guidance or even any concern into the matter. Never even gave me the chance to fully explain what was going on before the interruptions and obvious agitation. I expressed to her that I did not feel I was being heard, which agitated her further and caused her to raise her voice. I decided I was done at that point and was beginning to grab my things to leave when she told me that I am not to leave and if I do I am to find a new doctor, which at that point was no problem to me and I preceded to leave. Our next appointment was for our sex reveal, which is in a separate office and is a separate procedure that Dr Nims has no part in. Come to find out, Dr Nims had taken the liberty to cancel that appointment for us which feels very malicious at this point. The point being, whether this is your first pregnancy or not the bottom line is that this is a very special time of your life, and the doctor you are seeing should not take away from this. I am only thankful that the true colors were revealed at this stage and this doctor will not be the one to help bring our baby into this world. I not only advice that you do not see Dr Nims, but all of you that are new to this experience like we are, that you please do your research in finding the right doctor because they truly do make a difference to this whole experience.

Dr. Nims is fabulous! She delivered all 3 of my babies and took wonderful care of me each and every single time. I was not the typical patient when I visited her for the very first time, I was slightly overweight and also approaching 35 and already labeled as advanced maternal age. She gave me outstanding care, personally addressed every single concern, returned every single phone call I, or my husband, ever made regarding questions or concerns I had with all 3 of my pregnancies! I had my babies at 35, 38 and 42 years of age, she knew I wanted natural childbirth and worked with me to achieve that every single time. I had slight complications during delivery of my 3rd, she held my hand, reassured and eased my fears and my husbands and explained every single issue that came up. She demanded the best care for me from the nurses and she stayed on top of it the entire time. She always made sure I knew if she was going to be out of the office, on vacation, etc. Dr. Nims is very no nonsense and straightforward, she can come off as a little abrasive, however I assure you she completely has her patients and their babies very best interest at heart 24/7. I think people often forget that Doctors are people to, they have their own lives and issues going on and they can come across as distracted or hurried. As with any OB office, occasionally you may have to wait, emergency deliveries and patients with complications will take priority over a basic OB check up. She has a very small office, there was no rotating Doctors, she was it! I didnt worry at all that Id have someone i had never seen delivering my babies, I knew shed be the one to do it! I highly recommend Dr. Tracy Nims!!

She was an hour late for my appointment. Which is fine I understand that she is a Dr but, when my husband had just stepped out right before she walked in and the first thing she says is "could you get off your phone" no please, no thank you, no Im sorry Im an hour late. I was texting my husband to let him know she had finally showed up and to come back inside. Every time I talked to her about something she turned it around to where we were talking about her. Um, Im sorry your not pregnant, I am. Maybe Im asking too much when I want a Dr that cares what is going on, listens to what Im saying and actually responds to something I just said. Not going into a brag session on her acheviements. She has no bed side manner, I found her very rude needless to say at 8 months I changed doctors because I will not be annoyed with the one woman who will coach my through giving birth and who holds my child first.

I really Like Dr Nims. I know that if I was ever in a situation that would need urgent care she would make the right choices. While she can seem to be rude, it is just her personality. She is not the overly friendly bubbly person, but I know if it came to it she would make the right choices for me and my baby. She has delivered two of my babies. One I was on TNCare the other we had our own insurance. I have received the same care no matter what. Both I delievered in under 30 min and with no big complications. My second she was going out of town for the weekend and made sure I knew, I was really close to delivering so we decided to schedule it so she could be there. I didnt want to run the risk of having someone else deliver my daughter. She is extremely busy and overwelmed and I have seen her stop and slow down and try to remember she needs to be more friendly.
