The office staff, nurses, Dr Aldred, and even the lab Tech. Were just wonderful. Started with my mom needed extra help, then I left my wallet at home they were helpful, kind, never any attitude and understanding. The nurse came into the waiting room (only a 20 minute wait) to see what my 86 year old mom needed. She's in a wheelchair. We talked with her then she came up with a plan that worked really well. Dr Aldred was kind, considered and treated her with the up most respect.

Let her know what he was thinking and what he needed to do to find the answers. He needed a blood tests and had the lady come to mom's room because of the wheelchair. I have been driving over a hour for my appointments for about 10 years. It has been worth it every time. The kind understanding Dr and staff alone would keep me coming back, but add on that 20 minutes wait time.oh yeah, I'll keep going back!

I don't have words good enough to describe Dr. Taylor. I believe she is walking and working in God's calling. She is very knowledgeable in her specialty. She has impeccable bedside manners. She treats you like a human being and not just another patient. She knows how to make you feel comfortable when delivering information about your situation. She makes it easy to understand. I've never felt rushed during my visits. She goes above and beyond to ensure her patients receive the best care. I 100% trust Dr. Taylor for all of my GYN needs and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Dr. Justin Alfred was super friendly and nice; and extremely thorough during my visit. He answered all my questions and put me at ease with things I was concerned about being a first time mom. It felt like he'd been seeing me for years instead of for the first time. I'm only 8 weeks along in my pregnancy, but looking forward to my next visit in a month with him! Such a wonderful feeling to have about a doctor. All the nurses were also super friendly. Such a a professional and friendly environment.

I have been going to OBGYN South for over 25 years. Dr. McKenzie not only is THE BEST, wisest, and smartest doctor, and keeps up with the latest, cutting edge developments in medicine, he treats his patients like family. He is never in a hurry during my appointments even though I am quite aware of how busy he is. He has taken such good care of me and always helps me in choosing the right course of action for my health. One of the KINDEST men I know.

I have been seeing Dr. Adcock for over 20 years now. He has always been very caring and attentive. He has such a kind bedside manner. The only issue I've have ever had, is the wait time. His staff is not always efficient in time-management. They may keep you waiting in the exam room because he had to go to labor and delivery. However, you are scheduled for a mammogram, and they could send you to to that instead of wasting your time.waiting!

Dr. Taylor is by far the best physician I've had in a long time. I went to ob-gyn south to have my baby. I was originally seeing another physician and I met Dr. Taylor on rotation. Her beside manner and compassion for her patients make her so adoring and loving. She has been my physician now for 6 years. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality care with a smile. I give her 10 stars out of 5

OB-GYN South and Dr. McKenzie have been wonderful! They are always easy to work with and fully explain everything to me and any questions I may have. I came to Dr. McKenzie with a concern and he has been proactive with my concern and always takes the time to explain things fully to me. From the front desk staff to the nurses they are all wonderful and very caring.
