Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Truly an exceptional physician! He took the time to listen to what I was saying and he took time to explain options and what would work based on the problems I was having.

I have been with dr Massengale with several years now , and would recommend to everyone , he has always helped me out with any problems I’ve had or recommended me to someone who could do anything he didn’t that he came across . It disappoints me that he does no do surgery anymore , he is an excellent Gyn

I cannot express enough what a great doctor Dr. Massengale is. He is thorough and takes his time with you. His exams are not rushed and best of all, he listens when you talk and he gets to the bottom of your issues. He truly cares about your concerns and your feelings. He's been my gynecologist for almost 30 years now and I dread the day he announces his retirement. I can't imagine that any other gynecologist in this town could fill his shoes.

I have been a patient of Dr. Massengale for over 3 yrs now, when I didn't understandd the changes my body was going through. without any hesitation he knew exactly what I was experiencing. At age 45 I started going through peri-menopause and was placed on medication. I am so grateful for a wonderful Dr.

The most amazing doctor out there. Most caring, passionate and experienced OB around. I'd be completely lost without his amazing care! I'm blessed to have him as my OB. And not to mention his nurses, midwife and MAs are just as amazing!

Dr. Massengale has been my wife's doctor for over two years now and has made us feel like we are his only patients that entire time. He is kind, patient, thorough, experienced, and extremely hard working. He is the only reason my wife and newborn son are alive today. Without his quick, decisive action, my wife would have bled out during delivery from a placental abruption. He is by far the greatest medical professional I've ever encountered and I know we are blessed to have been in his care.

He is very knowledgable in his field. He has been my ob-gyn since 1996 and he's been great through all my treatments of c-section, vaginal mesh implant, tubal pregnancy, cesarean scar pregnancy to a miscarriage, and many more procedures. He has a great bedside manner and made me feel as though he really cared about all I was going through. Always answered any and all my questions and even left me cry on his shoulder a few times. Great doctor!
