She was my OBGYN when I'm Pregnant. After many reviews from friends I scheduled an appointment with her. It was good in the beginning, as months pass by she started noticing complications with my Pregnancy (Placenta previa/Placenta Acreta) so she referred me to Maternity Fatal Medicine along with regular appointments with her. By the time I was 8 months Pregnant she said she can not handle my case and ask me to go to UAB. She claims that she has 30 years of experience but she can not a complex case such as mine. I was totally in shock not knowing where to go at that time of pregnancy if I run into any emergency. I ended up going to UAB after seeing her for almost 9 months of my Pregnancy. I will not recommend her at all if you have complications getting pregnant or during pregnancy.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kennedy for almost 20 years and I couldn’t imagine having another OBGYN! I am about to deliver my third which is considered high risk. She has always taken immaculate care of me and helped me when I’ve suffered miscarriages.

I have been seeing Dr. Kennedy for over 20 years and she has always taken her time to make sure everything has been well taken care of for me during all three pregnancies, any surgeries and any procedures that I have had done under her care. She delivered all three of my children, all of which were pre-term. She takes her time to explain things and listen to my concerns and truly cares about each and every patient that she has. I will never consider changing doctors.

Dr. Kennedy is fabulous. She's been my doc for 20 years, and I would never consider seeing anyone else. When I was pregnant, she recognized that I had a rare condition that could have resulted in a "bad outcome" had it gone undiagnosed. She took the time to explain it, and took the necessary precautions. Both of my children were fine as the result of her knowledge and excellent care. I never feel like Dr. Kennedy is in a rush to see me and move on to the next patient. She always takes the time to ask me about my children, both delivered by her, and is genuinely interested in hearing about life since my last visit. Dr. Kennedy is personable, knowledgeable, and thorough; I love her!
