Where do I even begin from the moment we sat down with Dr.Arabi he was so attentive and determined to get us to the end goal. He provided many options for. But overall helped me understand what was going on. He was pleasant from start to finish. It didn’t feel like just a job he cares about his patients! Mrs. Jackie in labs cheered for us each and every step of the way she really made us feel like family. We received the biggest hugs and cheers from Chloe on finally graduating with a healthy baby on to see a regular OB doctor. Big special thanks to Chandler as well she has been a complete cheerleader for us and our success. I can brag on and on about our experience just a big thank you to all involved in our beautiful success story! We can’t wait to show pictures of our baby when it arrives!

PREG Greenville is absolutely the best office with the most caring and outgoing staff. We look forward to each and every appointment because everyone is just so friendly. My daughter has become best friends with the office staff. Dr. Arabi gave her a piece of a plant to go home with and we update him every time we come in on how it’s growing. It’s a great little reminder every day of the friendships we made in the office. Today she left with a balloon. 😂 Mrs. Mandy is so sweet and has been so comforting when we had difficult appointments and always gives my daughter stickers when we checkout. And lastly, Mrs. Jackie is such a sweet lady and is always so attentive when talking to my daughter and myself. She’s a great person and friend to pray for you when you need it. I could not recommend this business more, because it’s not just a business…they make you feel like family.
