Lots of experience, not very talkative but very nice and knowledgable. If you ask, he will answer any questions.

Love Dr. Tatum! He delivered both of my 2 children and I would never want anyone but him delivering any more of my children in the future. Very personable and sincere. Is devotion to me through my pregnancies and my babies during delivery... There's just no words. He's amazing.

Dr. Tatum as been my doctor for 20 years. He has been through two pregnancies, fibroids, and a partial historectomy with me. He has taken time with me through it all. Any problems I had or have he has answered and help me. He makes me feel comfortable through instruction to procedure. I would recommend Dr. Tatum to friends, family, and a stranger. He's the greatest!!

Didn't find the issue when I was pregnant with what was wrong with my son. Later found out he was missing part of his spine thanks to dr. Sullivan office. Went to the hospital in early labor his staff broke my water at 31 weeks!!! Then he came into my room and told me he wasn't stopping the contractions because the baby was going to die anyways. In those exact words !!!! Worse feeling in my life. I will NEVER see him again!!!

Dr Tatum is the best he has called me more than once when I have needed it. I almost backed out on surgery that I really needed if he had not taken the time to call me and explain it to me. I would have backed out. I thank the Lord for good Doctors! If you need a good OB/GYN he is your man! Thanks !

Dr. Tatum is an excellent doctor. My max time in waiting was approximately 15 minutes or less. He is very gentle and kind. He also gets straight to the issue. I would highly recommend him.
