Our board-certified physicians monitor maternal and fetal health using advanced diagnostic tools while providing personalized guidance for labor and delivery options.
Gynecological Exams
Preventive care focused on reproductive health maintenance through regular pelvic exams and Pap smears. Our providers assess for abnormalities while offering education on contraception options and menstrual cycle management. Screenings help detect early signs of gynecological conditions, ensuring timely intervention and improved health outcomes.
Minimally Invasive Surgery

For the people crying over wearing a mask.are you serious? We are entering our third year in this pandemic and you STILL want to cry over a simple mask that you only wear for an hour? It's ridiculous that these people love to look for confrontation. Especially when you have a baby on the way, you should be careful and wearing your mask anyways. Boo hoo, you have to wear a mask in a medical facility like we've been doing this ENTIRE TIME.
I feel soooo sorry for you : grow up! It does not violate any rights as an American. Please do your research before using your Facebook posts as a "reference" for the law. We have a Constitution for Godsake. Anyways, these guys are amazing. The wait was a bit long, but I expected that. It took me two months for a new patient appointment, but it's common in the area.

I absolutely love Dr. Murray and her staff! I have never felt uncomfortable with any of them and always feel that I am getting the best treatment. I always ask questions and have never felt rushed or like my questions are irrelevant to her. I leave the office understanding my treatment plan and knowing that if I have any concerns I can either call and talk to the nurse (which is also amazing), or simply come by.
Not to mention, getting my refills is always a breeze - I use the clinic for women patient portal to communicate with the nurse and get almost immediate responses from her! Dr. Murray delivered my second child 4 years ago and I was so nervous and probably annoying, wanting everything to be perfect since I've had such a bad experience with a previous doctor, and not one time did I have any issues with her or her staff. They have always worked with me. That was 4-5 years ago and I've been seeing her since.

My experience with Dr. Samples was wonderful. I was 41 with my 4th baby, and she was informative, kind, and patient. She has a down-to-earth vibe and is straightforward. I appreciate this because I want to know what is happening without sugar coating. During my labor, my baby's shoulder got stuck in my pelvis. Dr. Samples remained calm and told me exactly what to do while she maneuvered my baby to deliver safely. The receptionists were always friendly. The lab workers and ultrasound techs and nurses are all top-notch. I also appreciate that masks are mandatory. Highly recommend this office.

These people are the worst. I thought I was upgrading from OBGYN Associates only to find out they are a private business and could refuse patients for no valid reason or simply for not liking your look, perhaps. They refused to take me (9 months prior to delivery) even though they were taking new patients per my insurance and even though I stated I could see any of the 9 physicians available. This leads me to believe that the front desk workers didn't like my assertiveness and attention to detail when I asked about my insurance coverage and expected swift response.
Terrible service and I do not recommend any future mamas to deal with this much drama when it could be avoided, I had better luck with Tennessee Valley OBGYN! They also stated the office manager would return my call and it's been a month and still haven't heard back from them.
