I decided to pick this practice for the diverse female Practitioners/Doctor. Every appointment is welcoming and communication is great. I have never called and not gotten an answer. The office is fast with updating your portal and getting things done. I’m glad that i picked Dr. Rigaud-Echols practice for my first pregnancy experience💕💕💕

Everyday routine concerns such as vaginitis, preventative health and well-woman services like birth control counseling, STD testing, follow up of abnormal Pap smears, and perimenopause concerns.
OB CARE AT DEKALB OB/GYN AFFILIATES
Our OB CARE is outstanding because we have a team of doctor and midwife on call at the hospital every day, and we have a midwife and NP in the office so that you can come in for same-day concern.
Our team blends a doctor and nurse on call every day, and our certified nurse midwives are never alone. We share the management over both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies.
When necessary, we are skilled to perform assisted vaginal deliveries and cesareans.
We want to help improve the Peach State’s maternal morbidity and mortality statistics. This will require teamwork.
Our office seeks to inform you of the most important signs that you need to be aware of postpartum or postoperatively for your overall health. The most important thing to us is communication.
We want our patients to come and see us about their concerns and not delay. Everyone is welcome.
We are focused on the health of the mother and developing fetus with regular visits and fetal testing and ultrasounds. We are Northside Physicians and proud to utilize perinatal services and other laboratory and imaging facilities connected with Northside Hospital. We encourage you to come to our office or follow up for any emergencies at Northside Hospital only.
We want to give women the best and safest experience under the recommendations of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
