We realize 2025 has been the year of extreme Instagram posting hiatus!
SO MANY GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING that social media definitely fell by the wayside the last 8ish months. One of those great things: Baby Barwick No. 2 has been baking like a wild little bean! Eep! 😍
That being said, we have some maternity leave details to share. These came out in the last couple OP newsletters, however, it doesn’t hurt to blast this everywhere so we’re all in the know.

Dr. Ashley will be on Maternity Leave Sept 15th through Jan 1st. Her first day back in the office will be Friday, Jan 2, 2026!
In her absence, patients will have the option of getting checked and adjusted by 1 of 3 different doctors:
Dr. Ian ()
Dr. Alex Peeler ()
Dr. Marian Abdelsayed ()
Starting Monday, Sept. 29th, Dr. Alex’s office hours at Our Patch will be as follows: (see slide 2)
If the above hours do not work, Dr. Ian will be available during normal business hours to hop on his schedule! He will adjust people as they are normally adjusted unless they request to try out NUCCA 😉
Dr. Marian Abdelsayed of will also be seeing people out of her office in Mauldin if neither Dr. Ian or Dr. Alex is available when needed.
Her office hours are Monday - Thursday 8am - 12pm & 3pm - 6pm
All doctors have experience with expecting mothers, newborns, and children. Our team is prepared to make the scheduling process a smooth one for you! 💛
Dr. Alex will also be dropping by for TWO meet & greets at OP before Dr. Ashley leaves for maternity leave. Stop by to say hi!
Mon, August 11, 11am-1pm (already happened lol)
Thurs, August 28, 11am-1pm (this week!!)
LAST NOTE: DR. IAN’S PATERNITY LEAVE
Dr. Ian will be taking a one-week paternity leave once Baby Barwick arrives! We’re excited for the doctors and Cece and will keep you updated. As soon as we know the timing, Karina will reach out to reschedule any affected appointments.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this special time!
