Meet the Baby Ultrasound is a good place to have a 3D/4D live view of your baby. When our initial…read moreappointment was canceled the day of, we searched for another location to get the service done. Meet the Baby had openings in the middle of the day Friday. We arrived at a small, empty office in a corporate park off Dale Mabry. A yard sign outside one of the complexes assured us the ultrasound place was here. We checked in with a woman in the office and she had us sign a paper and pay. After that, we waited in the lobby for a minute or two. Another lady welcomed us and brought us back to the ultrasound room. This was a large room with a huge wrap-around couch. There was a projector with a large screen on one wall. The bed and ultrasound machine setup was pretty much the same as any doctor's office. Our short 15-20 minutes session was perfect to get some good pictures of our baby in 3D/4D live. We saw her yawn and got some really great photos for our baby shower. The two staff members were friendly and the place was relatively clean. It just seemed older and it's definitely not a doctor's office. On the way out we did get a nice little cooler bag to hold bottles and it even had two samples of formula in it. If you want great pictures of your little one, check this place out. That being said, it also depends if your baby wants to cooperate. We're lucky our baby did for the majority of the session.

My family member was 18 weeks along and had just done a gender reveal party the weekend before, so she knew she was having a baby boy. We arrived on time for our 1pm appointment and another couple was just finishing. The establishment is pristine and beautiful! I was shocked at how absolutely comfortable, clean, accommodating, and lovely the entire inside is. The lobby area caters to mothers-to-be and their family. You can tell the owner really cares about her clients and their well being. She has thought of everything. She greeted us and welcomed us to her boutique. She helped the mom find the restroom since she drank a lot of water to make the ultrasound better. There was a nice bowl of candy, to include ginger candies for any moms experiencing nausea. The beautifully decorated front area has an assortment of baby items for sale and they are all thoughtfully displayed and chosen with mother and baby in mind. There are snacks and waters available as well and she advertises other local businesses that help new mommies along their journey (lactation consultants, etc). I love that she supports other small businesses. I need to mention that it smelled AMAZING in there too! I asked her what it was so I could get some for my home I loved it so much! Even the father of the baby commented on how good it smelled! We were brought into a very nice and large viewing room for the ultrasound. A nice comfortable table is set up for mom by the machine. There is a seat next to the bed for someone special and they can view the large flat screen monitor on the wall or the machines screen. Across from the bed is a large comfortable sectional couch that can fit many people (I would say at least 6!) plus she has some cute plushie seats if there are others there. There were only the 4 of us so we stood most of the time and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the ultrasound. I could tell that the owner, Stormy, knew what she was doing. She made sure mom was comfortable, that her clothes were protected and she gave her a warm towel. She put the warm gel on her belly and ensured she was okay before beginning. We watched as she began the scan on one of the large TV screens on the wall. It was amazing what you could see. She narrated what she was looking at so we knew what was going on. We were very talkative and she picked up on what we were saying and would show us things as we asked about them. We heard the heartbeat and even recorded it on a small device to put into a stuffed animal! She got tons of awesome photos, 2-D, 3-D and 4-D. She even asked us if there was anything else we wanted photos of before we finished. At one point, the baby had flipped over and she wanted him back on the other side. She guided mom on how to possibly get him to flip using prenatal yoga and it worked! We had such an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this business for any services they offer. You can tell the owner truly cares about her customers. We will be coming back when anyone else in the family is pregnant!

I have been going to Partners in OB Gyn for the last 11 years. I recently had a baby and they took…read moreamazing care of me from start to finish. The way Partners works when you are pregnant is that you see a different doctor every time you go in so that when you deliver, you are familiar with most of the doctors and the doctor on call will deliver you. I dealt with many nurses and techs and everyone was fabulous. I didn't have a "normal" pregnancy. At 16 weeks, I had an issue that landed me in the hospital. Dr. Minton was on call that day and he really eased my concerns and talked me through how to get past my issue. At 29 weeks, I went into pre-term labor. Dr. Brown was on call that day and she admitted me to the hospital. She was extremely caring to my situation and was explanatory about how the process would go. Dr. Jaeger ended up delivering my baby. He was excellent. He was able to lighten my mood by joking with me and he made some very important decisions that gave my little preemie the best outcome possible. I will be loyal to this practice for life after the care I was given throughout my pregnancy. If you are looking for an OB Gyn in Tampa, please consider partners.

I truly think all of the positive reviews must be seeing Dr.Watkins. Dr. Fanarjian however, was…read moretruly awful. Condescending, laughed at me when I tried to explain things she didn't agree with and ignored most things I said. And just prescribed birth control without even listening to me or taking any labs (which the birth control actually made me worse and she scoffed at me for saying this). In fact when I asked for lab work she stated they don't take any if you're 32 years old and your cycle is on time. Regardless of the other symptoms I was complaining of - horrible cramps, spotting for days, intense bloating and all of these being changes that were new to me. She ACTUALLY suggested that I might have an STD lol which was absurd after explaining I have been with only my husband for X amount of time - she tested me anyways and I did not. With absolutely no grounds for testing me for this or even suggesting I might have them based on my symptoms. I now have seen another doctor and I actually do have hormone issues and was totally off balance and have gut issues etc. and I'm so thankful I went to see someone else that actually listened and respected me as a woman and wanted to hear what I had to say because I would have never gotten better if I stayed under the care of Dr. Fanarjian. So if you are looking for a doctor that simply wants to just prescribe birth control when you complain of anything period related- she's the one for you. However if you are wanting to actually get to the root cause of things I suggest you stay far away.

After seeing so many great reviews and recommendations for Buddha Bellies, we booked the birth and postpartum doula services and honestly couldn't be happier. You get a pair of birth doulas to ensure one is available for when you give birth. Both were knowledgeable, friendly, and super supportive throughout my pregnancy. After an initial zoom call to get to know each other, we had a group text chat to check in and answer any questions I might have. They also suggested things to bring to the hospital, like an essential oil diffuser that really helped me and the nurses loved. My on-call doula on the day my son was born was Susan, and she was a lifesaver!! She arrived at the hospital promptly (despite living an hour away) and helped keep my husband and I calm. My husband had to leave for an hour to bring our dog to his boarding location, and so I was so grateful I had Susan with me during that time. I tried to give birth without an epidural, and her magical massages literally saved me and brought me to 6cm dilated. At that time, I decided I definitely did want/need an epidural, and she was very supportive of my wishes. She honestly felt like she became family that day and was so dedicated to my comfort. I can't imagine having done this without her. We're now onto the postpartum doula phase, and while we just started with our overnight care, we are SO glad that we made the decision to have a postpartum doula (kind of like a night nurse in this scenario). So far, it has been absolutely wonderful--the doula is very caring and loving to my baby boy and gives me a few extra hours of sleep each night, which is invaluable. As newbie parents, she offers advice and reassurance that things (like infant gas!) are normal. We are able to sleep soundly knowing that our son is safe with her in the other room! The Buddha Bellies support staff have also been excellent. It was very easy to be matched with and interview doulas--we hired ours on the very first try, as they were all of amazing quality, friendly, and with great experience/reviews. We cannot recommend them more!

Hello Reviewers! To begin I am writing this after a two…read moretime visit which I tend to do. With a spa establishment I really wanted to scope the scene. Places like this need to offer a certain standard so patrons know this is synonymous with relaxation, class and autonomy. You can walk in wearing gear that will be removed in 3.5 seconds and walk out looking crazy from a Utopia coma induced by one of their knowledgeable staff. I am a person that overthinks even when it is time to turn off and get a massage. First time I got Camille I was banged up something bad. Shoulders were touching the ears type stress. I was blessed to be matched with her and she is literally a doll. I gave her brief direction on what was needed and it was like I never needed to speak. So muchhhhh so I tried to schedule her again for the next week and Camille was booked out ( I was sad). I finally got her again today and every kink, soreness she took care of. I love this place and I super love Camille. Her professionalism, demeanor, cuteness, and thoroughness will have me always going back to Essentials. The place is gorgeous and super clean. Sorry for snoring during my massage Camille. See you soon!
