This was my first visit and everyone was very friendly. I saw Kristi Bullock. She was very professional and made me feel at ease. She was easy to talk to and answered my questions. She also gave me very relevant information and conducted a thorough examination. I highly recommend her and The Group.

I saw Dr. Jennifer Steines and was very happy with her. She explained my condition and options very well. She gave me a sheet of written instructions and where to purchase necessary items. Her nurse was equally good and was professional but personable. I really appreciate their care for me I give them high recommendations.

The doctors at The Group are all very caring and professional. I like their rotation of OBs during the prenatal visits. When it came time to deliver, I knew who my doctor was, rather than being surprised with one I have never met before.

I have been going to the Group for over 36 years and wouldn’t change a thing! I think Jo is the greatest. She makes me feel so comfortable and takes the time to talk about anything that I may need to discuss!!
