Dr. Joseph Tate should have his license taken. I ended in a birthing trauma support group after being his patient. I ended up meeting several other women that dealt with traumatic experiences at the hands of Dr. Tate. I hope one day soon Dr. Tate will no longer be allowed to hurt any other families.

It has been over a year now since I birthed with Dr. Joseph Tate. I haven't left a review until now because, even a year later, the thought of seeing his face after a google search sends me into a panic. Please if you have ANY other option consider it. I will forever regret choosing him. I would have been better off getting a repeat c section and that is something that I never thought I'd say after wanting a vbac so badly. He was physically, mentally, and verbally abusive and disregarded my birth plan without any cause. From my experience he is arrogant and a misogynist who only sees women as sexual objects and vehicles to push out babies. He forcefully stretched my cervix causing my labour to accelerate too quickly during what was supposed to be a routine cervical check and once it was time to push he hyperextended my leg. I told him multiple times that he was hurting me, but he looked me in the eyes and continued to push back on my leg. I was unable to walk, let alone move my leg for the first 2 weeks postpartum. After seeing an orthopedic specialist and getting an MRA, I finally found out the damage he had caused. I was diagnosed with a severe adductor strain and a labral tear. A year later I still have a constant pain in my groin area. He followed that up by refusing me a mask when I asked for one to protect my newborn from the cold that I had contracted and then yelling at me while I sat on the toilet trying to urinate for the first time after giving birth. He shouted the most cruel things he possibly could have and then stormed out, leaving me unable to breathe sobbing with a heart rate of nearly 160. The fact that that man is still practicing medicine and able to hurt other women terrifies me. Please look into every possible option. Dr. Tate has taken something away from me that I can never get back and left me broken.

This is the BEST obgyn I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! His staff (and family)ALWAYS made me and my children feel welcomed and like we were part of the family. His attentivness, and genuine concern for every patient is like no other Doctor I have ever known. Even when he waited for me to come to his office at 9pm, without even having dinner, and then turned around and waited at the hospital for me to come in around midnight (ectopic pregnancy) he was always a pleasure to be around. He delivered my 2 youngest children, and one of my neices (which was a vbac)and they were all beautiful deliveries. He is truly a God send.

Dr. Joseph Tate is an absolute God-send. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and devoted to his patients; a very RARE type of physician, especially in comparison to the modern "hurry-in-hurry-out" types today who seem to concentrate more on getting paid than the real needs of their patients. He is a gift to the medical profession who consistently demonstrates the spirit of a true physician (healer). My only regret is that more doctors in Atlanta and across America are not more like him. Thank you, Dr. Tate, and may God bless you, always.

very knowledgable and compassionate doctor. wish the staff was more professional.

Best doctor I have ever known! He is wise and patient! He will give you his full atention and will never rush you out of his office.

Dr Tate is great! He delivered my second baby via VBAC and was very encouraging.
