Dr. Woods is very knowledgeable but it is impossible to get an appointment. Her name is not available at my chart and even by a phone appointment it is a hit or miss to get one. If you are lucky to get an appointment it will be at least a few months ahead, which is an issue when there is a health Issue you need accessed
Dr. Kalinda Woods is always pleasant, professional and kind when it comes to my daughter. She is highly knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her.

I've never experienced this great of service from an entire staff ever in my life! I'm forever grateful to have met and interacted with each and every staff member
Dr. Woods is always so personable. She takes time to listen to my concerns and provides valuable feedback. She has no problem relaying the pros and cons of treatment options. I always look forward to my visits with her. I feel seen, heard, and validated.
Dr. Woods was fantastic! I loved that before he started the exam, he simply asked, "Do you have any questions?" It made me feel seen and heard.
Dr. Woods spend time with me. She asked questions and listened to my answers. I appreciated the dialogue.
Very pleased with my interactions with Dr. Woods.
Dr. Woods is also patient and professional. My daughter always feels comfortable and welcome.
Had a small concern that she reassured me was actually not that big of a deal. She also explained what would happen during the check-up which took the edge off the intrusive check-up as someone who's never done a pap smear. All things considered, I loved Dr. Woods. She was professional, quick, and informative.
Great doctor! Dr. Woods was professional, informative & friendly.

Dr. Woods was wonderful! She was professional but yet she was kind, she explained what she doing, I felt like she was the perfect doctor for me! My visit went extremely well.
I didn't have any concerns but Dr. Woods is so warm and easy to talk with!
I scheduled my visit so that I could get answers to a medical issue. But she didn't evaluate me. She listened to my questions. She answered some generally. There was past blood work she could have referenced, but she didn't. And she prescribed ibuprofen. I asked for blood work. She didn't think I needed it. I have no idea why I was having pain. She just wanted to give me ibuprofen although I am currently taking medication that interacts with ibuprofen. I don't even think she looked at my medication list to be sure I could have ibuprofen.
Dr Woods made me feel so comfortable by talking me through every step of he process in terms that I could understand. She seemed to genuinely care about the problems that I was experiencing.
Dr. Woods is a very good listener.

Dr. Woods is always very pleasant, knowledgeable and caring. Bedside manner is appropriate and I enjoy having her as my provider.
I can not say enough about Dr. Woods. I have never had a better experience with any doctor. Despite the fact that I only made the appointment 45 minutes before I saw her, she had taken the time to read my files and new about my past ablation and details of an ultrasound I had a few years ago. That has never happened with any other doctor. Furthermore, her explanation of what was happening, her reassurance that everything was probably fine, and her thorough explanation of next steps was exceptional! Finally, her calming presence and voice put my mind at ease completely which is not easy to do. This was absolutely the best experience I have had with any doctor.
Dr. Woods was very understanding and explained a lot of the symptoms and issues I was having.

Dr Woods is a SUPERIOR physician!! She listens to her patients, she's very thorough and professional!!
I will recommend anyone that's having a baby to come here.
Dr Woods was amazing! She's reminds me of a young version of my original OBGYN. Very transparent, detailed, gives options/scenarios and solutions so together we as a patient doctor team can make wise/informed decisions for treatment. I love the explanation she gave while drawing the diagram to give me a realistic visual to her words! Very ice/helpful and it made all the information click! I was nervous because I have never been seen by another OBGYN regularly since 17. Thank you for making this a great transition from my original OBGYN since I was 17 years old (now 50 years old). You made change easy and less stressful.
Dr Woods drew a picture to explain what was going on.
Experencia profecional
Exemplary process, very rare
I was completely satisfied with Dr. Woods and her assistant
I would recommend to others.
I have recommended Dr. Woods to anyone and everyone who I have met! She is THE best.

Dr. Woods was very thorough in her explanation and gave me plenty of treatment options.
Great
I had honestly never had an experience with the OB offices at any of the locations that was as memorable as this visit was. Doctor Woods took the time to focus on my needs, and she listened to what I had to say, and did not invalidate what I was feeling. She went into details about how to help. She understood the anxiety that I was feeling with the diagnosis of my child having T21 And the anxiety that I felt due to multiple losses and hardships. She heard me and worked with me to create a plan that would best suit me. By far the best physician that I've dealt with in the OB world. I feel very lucky to have found her and she made sure that I'm able to see her and get my appointments with her to continue to feel that positive connection.
Dr Woods was exceptional. Knowledgeable and also kind and caring. So genuine
Because my papsmear was abnormal and I was very nervous, I was trying to see Dr. Woods for suggestions or treatment. She was very nice to explain to me about my condition and did colposcopy. I am very happy about her knowledge and patient to explain to me
Dr.Woods was very good at listening to my concerns/questions and explaining to me my treatment care. I wish others would take the time out that she does with her patients.
I am very pleased with Dr. Woods. She was very knowledgeable about the unique care that I needed.
Dr Woods entered the room, sat down, looked me in my eyes and explained to me the reason I was there for the procedure. This was done before touching me. Made me feel comfortable and trusting of what was to come.
Dr. Woods is the best! Highly recommended.

I have already recommended Dr. Woods to family members. She was fantastic!
I've had providers including at the sister location provide the same exam, but this provider was the first who's technique did not hurt. I will definitely be back in the future I just hope she doesn't move before my next needed appointment
The fact that Dr. Woods understood that going ahead and doing the biopsy at the first appointment would help to find out what was going on, and therefore what needed to be done, meant the world to me. I definitely felt heard and understood. And during the test she told me at each point what I might be feeling so I could be prepared. That was very helpful also.
Omg! This doctor is phenomenal! Brilliant and gentle. The perfect gyn for a woman.
I love doctor woods she makes me feel very comfortable talking to her about my concerns

Dr Woods exemplifies what it means to be a good doctor. She's kind, caring, empathetic, smart and hilarious. I could not be happier with the care I receive!
The doctor explained things thoroughly which I appreciated. But when I wanted to talk more deeply about some of my concerns upon reflecting my last delivery at Emory, the doctor cut me off multiple times and spoke over me and interrupted. She did not want to hear what I had to say or listen to my concerns. She just wanted to hear herself talk. It was pretty disappointing. I just wanted to feel heard and I did not.
I have already recommended Dr Woods to 4 people. She was amazing-very knowledgeable
Dr Woods was thorough and informative. She gave me clinical information that I could easily understand and that helped me make a decision on the best plan for treatment. Thank you, Dr Woods.
Overall Dr. Wood was nice and senstive to our miscarriage but she relayed D&C option came with absolutely no risk to future pregnancies and that is not true -although the risk is small it is there and I'd appreciate to be informed to make my own calculated decision.
Very pleased with Dr Woods care. I am comfortable with her and the care she provides.
