"I've had OB Care for both of my pregnancies. The staff is superb. They're very professional and personable. Ms Tammy is the best and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my care. I highly recommend OB Care for all your pre and post-natal needs."

"Be ready to wait 5hours and if for some reason the doctor has emergency surgery don't expect them to tell you until after you've been waiting multiple hours. Should be getting paI'd minimum wage.. they drop the ball more than mcdonalds"
