Thank you for sharing your experience! Pregnancy can feel like a whirlwind, and we’re so glad to hear you left feeling supported and ready for what’s ahead. We’re honored to walk this journey with you and your growing family.”

“When I found out I was pregnant, I was equal parts excited and terrified. My first visit at University OB/GYN Associates eased so many of my fears. The doctor didn’t just talk about the medical side of things — he helped me understand what to expect week by week and what really mattered for my baby’s health. I highly recommend this practice.”
