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.

Csection & postpartum care
Dr Laila Needham, MD was very kind & thorough with me throughout my entire pregnancy. This was my 3rd baby and I was fearful of c-section as my last one did not go well and I had PPD. She did a phenomenal job in preparing me, walking me through all steps during my surgery, and with post operative care. I would highly recommend her & will continue visiting for care moving forward. I’m recuperating beautifully and our baby is nice and healthy.

Dr Needham is awesome!
I have used this doctor for years now she's always been very caring, and sympathetic to my needs. She listens to what I tell her and then responds and tells me each step of my treatment. I will continue using her and her staff has always been very nice to me as well.

Dr. Laila Needham
Excellent office. I went for my annual wellness visit. Dr. Needham was very thorough, asked questions, answered my questions as well. She took her time with me. She’s thoughtful and kind. My exam was painless and she was gentle. I am a senior, so that is important. The office and surrounding areas with very clean. Also all the associated personnel knew their job, and did it well. If I could leave 10 stars I would.

New patient first impression
I was a new patient scheduled for an annual pap smear exam. Dr. Needham came in initially just to meet with me prior to the exam and to discuss any concerns that I had as well. After the intake, she performed the exam. She was very professional, informative and expressed a genuine concern for my questions throughout the entire appointment. I would highly recommend her. The office staff was also pleasant.

An Excellent Gynecologist and Obstetrician
Dr. Laila Needham is an excellent physician clinician with broad knowledge of women's health issues. She is brilliant and is an active listener with me. When I talk, she listens and does not interrupt me or talk over me. She takes a reasonable amount of time with me to understand my healthcare issues. Dr. Needham has great compassion and empathy. She has been my Gynecologist for a long time, first in Palatka and now in St. Augustine. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Dr, Needham. The professionalism and kindness of the staff and her is to be commended. The waiting area is clean and inviting with a friendly staff to greet you. As with past appointments, my wait time is usually under five minutes. Also, I'm not sitting in the exam room longer than ten minutes. Dr. Needham takes her time with you and ensure you are comfortable. Also, she adds value information regarding your health. I was able to fill out my paperwork online.

I found Dr. Needham to be a very quick study of my needs. I was there for Hormone Replacement Therapy and as a later post menopause patient. There was no judgment on her part; just a desire to treat me fairly, carefully, and with results.

Dr. Needham is an excellent OB/GYN - she is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She is familiar with the latest advances in medicine, including genetic testing. I can not say enough good things about her. I am so glad I chose her for my surgery - waking up to her made all the difference. I knew I was in good hands!

I literally cannot get an answer by telephone now (because they scheduled my ANNUAL exam 3 MONTHS prior to when it was due and now I'm being charged for a 100% covered service!), and I wish that had been the case when I was calling to make an appointment. She has NO bedside manner, had no time at all for me- and it was my first appt after moving here, coming from another doctor and having documented issues. Just not good.
