Best OBGYNs and Obstetricians & Gynecologists in Greensboro, NC

My high school physiology teacher had an awe and excitement for biological sciences that inspired me. Of course, I may have been predisposed to have an interest in science: My own birth came with risks to my mother's life. And my own. \n No one in my family was surprised when I became an ob-gyn. I grew up hearing my birth story and being grateful for the physicians who cared for my mom - although they'd never met her. I arrived early and unexpectedly while my family was on vacation in another state. My mom was a "walk-in" to the labor and delivery department in an unfamiliar hospital in an unfamiliar city. \n In my practice, I strive to empower women to know and understand how their bodies work. I consider it a privilege to care of women over the course of their reproductive lives, addressing the challenges each stage can bring. \n Women often have ups and downs during pregnancy and postpartum. That's when I can be a source of consistent care and information. \n In my more than two decades of caring for patients, I've won the Central Penn Parent Healthcare Heroes Award, was recognized as a 2015 Women's Health & Wellness Hero by Central Penn Parent Magazine and won the 2018 Outstanding FertilityCare Medical Consultant Award from the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals. \nI'm currently serving as board president for the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals. \n After 18 years in Pennsylvania, my family moved to North Carolina in 2018. My husband, Paul, and I have nine sons and one daughter, ranging in age from 12 to 29. I enjoy caring for my family and watching my children grow. \n I love to watch classic movies - especially musicals. I also enjoy hiking in N.C. state parks and playing what I always hope will be a noncompetitive game of pickleball - although my husband and boys enjoy the competition.

When Jaleema Speaks, MD, was six years old, she asked her pediatrician to let her look at her blood under the microscope because of her fascination with science. Dr. Speaks turned that love of science into a career when she decided to attend medical school. Her desire to focus on women's care was encouraged by a family of strong women, like her grandmother who taught Lamaze and yoga from her screened in porch, exposing Dr. Speaks to pregnant women very early on. Dr. Speaks never gets bored of delivering babies and believes it's the best reason to be awake in the middle of the night. When she's not working or on call, Dr. Speaks enjoys spending time with her family. She married her high school sweetheart and they have a son and a daughter.
