We live in the Google age and one of the biggest
mistakes I see women make is they Google too
much! LOL! Its lots of information on line that can
confuse you and you can?t trust all the sources. A lot
of people will rather go to Google instead of finding
a professional. Some women just don?t have a good
knowledge of their body of whats normal, whats not
normal, how their body is suppose to react during
Get care as soon as you know your pregnant! Most
times women come in when they are 4 or 5 months
pregnant, there is majoring testing we?ve missed
through that time period, with those test being
missed, it?s hard to addressed problems that
could?ve been caught early on. If your having sex
and your intentions are not to get pregnant the best
step is to use protection. Protection lows the risk of
unwanted pregnancy and STDs. However if your
having unprotected sex, the risk is greater and it is
best to start taking vitamins and nutritions as
proper care practice.

My passion comes from helping women be
educated, as women it is important to know what?s
going on with our body. We live in the Atlanta metro
area where we have some of the highest HIV and
STD rates across the country, which tells me a lot of
reckless conduct is happening therefore my passion
is to see that women live long healthy lives. We also
face a high epidemic of herpes and herpes you can?t
get rid of, it?s with you for the rest of your life. I see
young ladies 18 and 19 years old, and it hurts when
they find out they have to live with this for the rest
of their life and I feel like some one needs to, I need
to keep our sisters educated so they understand
how to take care of their body in order to prevent
unfortunate situations.

My practice is somewhat unique because I?m a solo
practitioner. There aren?t many of us left that do
OBGYN by ourselves which mean that I?m pretty
much the only doctor that the patients see and I
preform about 90%of my own deliveries. My life is a
little heck at times but I enjoy that personal touch
and that one on one treatment that I can give
patients. We service ladies from 18 years of age all
the way up to menopause years, life doesn?t stop
when you turn 50, we offer a variety of services
