What To Expect:
Ultrasound is usually painless. However, you may experience mild discomfort.

Dr. Day is the best doctor in the whole world!! She listens to every single concern you have, she does a thorough exam and talks through all of her findings to make sure you feel less concerned and know the next steps!! I also love that she always takes her patients’ preferences into treatment and care!! The Group is out of network for my insurance but I happily pay the additional expense to receive the quality, personalized care that Dr. Day provides!!

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.

No one plans on having a premature birth or having their baby in the NICU, but it happens. The doctors at The Group saved me and my baby! The Genesis NICU was amazing for the 4 weeks we were there!

Wonderful customer service and very helpful! Wish I could keep going to them but recently moved out of state. Whenever I have called or gone in for an appointment they have always been super responsive and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
