Dr. Callison is the BEST OBGYN in Alabama in my opinion. I have been using her since 2016 and she…read morehas helped me lose weight and get my hormones on track. She is a really great doctor to use if you have PCOS, she will get you right for sure. I moved from the area about 3 years ago and I make this 2-3 hour drive a few times a year because I refuse to get another OBGYN. She listens, she respects my wishes, and she does what is best for me based on my history and past experiences with things. She is a very nice and friendly doctor that makes things easy to understand and helps me out a great amount. They are always there when I call and need something or am having an issue. Overall, I will use her and her practice until I move too far away to or she retires.

She is very unprofessional, she does not listen to your concerns and if you dare to not take her recommendation or advice, she will ask you to leave and terminate your care immediately. I am a 34 yr old with irregular bleeding we did try birth control to decrease some of the bleeding however the placement of the Nexplanon (inserted by her staff) was causing issues so I made an appointment to try and get the issue corrected .. once there I was told that I needed to get a hysterectomy and "just call it a day". refusing to remove the Nexplanon or fix it. I advised her that I still wanted the option to have children in the future and wanted to go over more opt avail. She then stormed out the room and advised me that was my only option. She then and asked me to leave after i called her rude and unprofessional. she terminated my care with her !!!

Amy Gundlach is a Baby Whisperer…read more I don't know how she does it but I've never seen someone so good with children. You couldn't possibly ask for a better guide to help you bring your children into the world or to help you learn the ropes of caring for them. She is caring, patient, nurturing, responsible, and dependable. After just spending a little time with her I felt like a better parent myself, and my anxiety about suddenly having kids just melted away. She's also a wonderful artist, and my fiance is a great fan of her work. Amy made her an amazing decorative belly cast to commemorate the birth. We have it set out in our bedroom and visitors are always complimenting it! I can't recommend her enough. Birth plans, pre-partum care, postpartum care, tips and tricks about raising kids, or just watching the baby for a minute so mom and dad can get some much needed rest; whatever you need, she can do it.

She was an amazing advocate who…read morewas supportive, loving, and genuinely excited to meet our baby with us, even after 20+ hours of labor and a transfer from the birth center to the hospital. She visited us after we brought our baby home and gave us a personalized gift bag, which was so unexpected and sweet. With our permission, she took sharable and discreet pictures during our birth experience and one of our favorites is right after he was born of us all together. She also sent the timeline she documented of when things were happening during the birth and at what time - something very special I had not even thought of! Even before we met Erica, the owner, Vicki, helped us personally with some paperwork we needed for our insurance company and I knew from the beginning this team would go out of their way to help new moms. Also, after baby arrived, Sarah met with me in my home to teach me how to do a super helpful postpartum wrap, which I also recommend. We can't thank Erica, Vicki, Sarah, and Nashville Doula enough. Highly recommend!

Maggie was my midwife for my 4th baby, I was referred to her by a dear friend; and I am so happy to…read morehave found such a beautiful, kind and caring midwife! My situation was very different than most and I'm so glad that she decided to take me on as a client. At the time, I was traveling the county with my husband and 3 kids full time in an RV and knew that I'd be in the Nashville area when I'd be close to my due date. Maggie agreed to take me on at around 27 weeks when so many other midwifes backed out because of my different living situation. An RV birth wasn't easy, but Maggie was so wonderful and positive throughout the entire experience. I didn't end up getting my water birth as I had planned; as RV water heaters just don't cut it, but Maggie and Chelsea made me feel calm and very comfortable. They're a fantastic team!! I wish I could have used her for each of my pregnancies and any future pregnancies.

Not only is she a Doula, but she is also a natural childbirth instructor! We decided to take her 10 week Boot Camp on natural childbirth and are so glad we did! The course covers everything from nutrition, baby care, labor positions, pregnancy exercises, relaxation techniques, birthing options, and partner support. My husband and I learned so much and felt very confident and prepared for "Labor Day." Hiring Melissa to be our Doula was such a smart decision. On the morning that my daughter was born, Melissa came over to our house and helped me get in different positions to move and progress labor. She was there the entire time at the hospital, and encouraged me the whole way through. Melissa helped to make our birth experience everything we wanted it to be. Because of Melissa, we were able to have the natural birth that we had been dreaming of. I am so thankful!

I really wanted to have a normal delivery with no epidural. I was able to follow through with my…read morebirth plan and a lot of it was due to Melissa passing on her knowledge and experience of the birthing process to prepare me for delivery. My husband and I took her classes and followed her instructions in regards to exercise,diet, practicing visual and relaxation techniques. End result was I went to the hospital at midnight. I was at 10 cm at 3:00 A.M. and I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at 3:22 A.M. Melissa gave me the confidence to stand up for what I wanted to do and be able to push in a squatting position which helped speed up the delivery. Thank you Melissa for all your help!!!

Jeannie Casey was absolutely amazing and so accommodating while handling my placenta encapsulation…read morethis summer. I had planned on having my placenta encapsulated, but hadn't worked out the details. At 36 weeks, I thought I had a bit more time. Unfortunately, my little one decided to come a bit early, and so I was caught off-guard! I called Jeannie, and she was ready and willing to take me on, even on such short notice. She had my capsules ready in a timely manner, and I can honestly say they've made a huge difference. I haven't had any issues with baby-blues, and my milk production has been off-the-charts - which I largely credit to regular capsule consumption. I would definitely recommend Jeannie and her company to any soon-to-be momma interested in placenta encapsulation.

My first meeting was via Zoom and it was professional yet laid back. Tracy answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable like we had already known each other forever. Even though I was 35 weeks pregnant, I signed up for the full birth package! The best part was that my insurance even covered it! I hired the Rocket City Doulas because they have a lot of experience with all kinds of births, are non-judgemental about your birth plan, and are all moms. As a first-time mom who is considered "geriatric" pregnant during a pandemic, I had no idea what to expect. I'm so glad that I hired a doula, even if it was for the last few weeks of my pregnancy. From the moment I met her at the hospital through checking in, labor, birth, and watching my son latch, Tracy was amazing. She was made to be a doula!! She made me less stressed about the biggest day of my life and I will forever be grateful for that. Tracy is kind, funny yet assertive, smart, and she knows what she's talking about. She's basically that friend who has your back no matter what, and when you're pregnant that's exactly who you want with you while you're pregnant or in labor (especially during a pandemic). Highly recommend!! Thank you Rocket City Doulas!!
