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!

We struggled for years to get pregnant. It wasn't until we went to the group that we learned what was going on and had a plan. A year ago, we found out we were pregnant. We had a beautiful baby boy just four months ago! From day one and through delivery and complications, everyone at The Group was by our side cheering and providing amazing care. Thank you for helping us bring our perfect and healthy baby boy into this world. We are forever grateful to this amazing office and staff.

I have had a wonderful experience at The Group! I had a chance to meet all of the doctors prior to the birth of my first child. They did very well with my husband and I, explaining certain procedures and taking time to hear our concerns, and truly answer our questions.

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.
