What a fabulous organization! So caring! In a world of corporations buying up medical clinics and providing less and less care, LifeChoices Family Medical stands apart. They treat our whole family with kindness and dignity. I've been telling all my friends what a welcome relief this amazing health care facility is. Never rushed, always listening. It's the kind of old fashioned care doctors used to give when they made house visits. We love all the great nurses, doctors and especially the executive director. What a lovely group of professionals. Thank God we found them!!!

Dr. Keenan is amazing! He takes time to listen to you and answer all your questions. He always makes me feel heard. I am a first time mom so I have a lot of questions. He answers each of them and shows great respect for me as a mom. I've been bringing my son to him since he was born.
I've seen him myself before as well. He was very thorough and asked me lots of questions and gave me great suggestions. I always recommend Dr. Keenan to friends when they are looking for a pediatrician or doctor.
We drive 45 minutes to his practice and it is well worth it.

When my husband and I came down with Covid in January, Dr. Keenan saw us immediately. The office even stayed open beyond 5 pm to be able for us to be seen. The staff actually had us stay in the car and the PCR test was done outside. We got the test results within 24 hours. The compassion they have shown both of us is excellent.

If you are looking for excellent prenatal care, your search is over. I was a bit skeptical of their high ratings when I first discovered them on Google, but after a few appointments there I can confidently say these ratings are well deserved. Everyone there is so pleasant, patient, and caring. I’ve never had to wait more than five minutes after my appointment time to be seen. They know what they are doing and they are extremely knowledgeable about their jobs. Special thanks to Marissa and Rosa who were very helpful in answering my questions about insurance for the first couple of visits, and for helping me get my Medicaid approved. I love it here!

I have Medicaid and it’s really hard finding a clinic that takes my insurance and if I do find some where I usually have to compromise the quality of service I’m getting as a patient which isn’t something I want to compromise when it comes to a situation as delicate and serious as being pregnant for the first time and having a baby . With guiding star that’s not the case. They take my insurance and the way they treat me as a patient is amazing .

I'm on Medicaid and was having trouble finding a good ob clinic that I liked that took my insurance. I tried two others and just didn't feel like they were going to be a good fit. The ladies at the office were super friendly and helpful, and helped me figure out which insurance option I could switch over to that they would accept. They have a really nice education component where you watch videos and stuff and then get some fake money to shop in their cute little on site baby boutique or get free/discounted sonograms. Marissa is wonderful, as well as the rest of the office staff and I'm really happy with Tammara as my provider! I'm currently 18wks, almost to the halfway point!

Guiding star has THE BEST program. And staff. They have this earn while you learn program, which empowers women and future mothers to learn on the already ever-changing process to motherhood. They encourage them to watch educational videos on everything from how their body is changing, how the fetus is developing within them, breast-feeding techniques, and everything postpartum up to a toddler! With advice for the mother as a woman and as a mom. They give you these points or credits, so you can use them towards ultrasounds, clothes, diapers, etc. i am so grateful to have them. Most women will go the whole pregnancy and only see the baby 1/2 times on ultrasounds thru covered insurance and this program has given me so much to look forward to. I highly recommend them for all of your obgyn Needs-pre pregnancy, just wellness, and postpartum. the staff is like family- they REALLY care- and I think their should be more establishments like this in the medical field. Love them and feel so safe and well taken care of

They genuinely want to help you in any way and have a wealth of resources with books you can borrow, in person classes you can attend and online video resources. You can even earn points for attending classes or watching videos online. Those points can earn you free stuff at your next appointment. So pleased I found Guiding Star Tampa and would recommend it to any of my girlfriends.

I came to Guiding Star after my friend recommended them. I never experienced the support I get here from anywhere else! They are so comforting. Everything they offer here is nothing short of amazing!

I have never experienced care like that of Guiding Star.

I came to them for help after my miscarriage, and instead of medicating me, they educated me so that I could succeed on my own. The first time I saw them, I left with tears in my eyes, basically in shock that I had been treated so kindly (something I have never experienced form a medical professional). These women treat their patients with such love, respect, and kindness that it is genuinely a bit shocking to someone who was brought up in government healthcare. I cannot recommend them enough.

If you're someone, like me, who's had traumatic experiences with doctors, please don't look any further. You will be cared for here.

I chose Guiding Star because of the great reviews; however, these reviews do not do this place justice! From the front desk, all around they are just a wonderful group of people! Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed from the time you arrive until the time you leave. For those who have a busy schedule like myself, they are always willing to work with me throughout the week to make sure I get the special care and attention that I deserve. They have made my life 1000x easier by adding Earn While You Learn Classes online. My boyfriend and I have two different schedules, therefore, it is harder to get us both into a class at the same time. With this online program, we have both taken full advantage and have been utilizing our evenings to enjoy the videos while preparing for our baby's arrival. For those who are pretty tech-savvy, the office has their own online portal to keep track of your medical appointments and notes. I would recommend this place to any women pregnant or not, I can assure you, you will be in great hands!

Alicia and I participated in a Natural Family Planning class while we were preparing to get married and once we were married and achieved pregnancy, we looked to none other than Guiding Star to take care of us. We absolutely love the personable and loving staff members. They make you feel like family and the mission of Guiding Star is just so great, I wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else for prenatal and women's care.

I am a Bio identical hormone replacement patient and from the moment you step in, to the moment you checkout, is a wonderful experience. They make you feel like home. The office is beautiful, warm and inviting, the staff is very friendly and sweet. Tammy, the nurse practitioner, is very compassionate, treats me with kindness and compassion, she is very cautious and thorough with the treatments and experience. I am very happy about going to this clinic. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for hormone treatment or for OB/GYN care. FYI, they offer Free pap, labs and physical for uninsured women.

This organization has and continues to help all of my family members in different ways. My mother is a widow and she enjoys spending her time and volunteering here weekly. My sister also started off volunteering and continues to do awesome things here. Myself and my son enjoy coming here for him to meet new friends and I am able to take part in the lunch and learns and bond with other mothers. It truly is an incredible organization and we are so happy they have touched our lives.

Guiding Star offers diapers and baby items that folks in the area donate at no cost to women that need the support. I love knowing this is a place that puts to good use the items I own as my grandchildren outgrow them.

This place is the answer to countless prayer. Not only is t a holistic women’s healthcare facility that treats you with dignity, it also works with women throughout all stages of life. As a mom with young children, having a doctor I can see that has someone available to watch my children while I have an appointment is an absolute blessing. I could not be happier with the care I receive here.

Guiding Star has been a true miracle in my life. The staff is always so kind and understanding. They respect my values and beliefs. They accept most insurances too! Not only do they provide a wide range of medical care for women but they also help “you”. There are support groups, breastfeeding support, yoga, Zumba, art as therapy, financial classes, connections to other resources, parenting support and lessons, trauma healing, post abortion healing, boundaries classes, the list goes on and on. And at most events food is provided, everything is free! And by committing yourself to be a better you guiding star also rewards your achievement with mommy dollars to spend at a baby boutique. There’s baby clothes, diapers, shoes, women’s clothes, bigger baby items, breastfeeding supplies, everything. Guiding star has helped me every step of the way of my motherhood journey. I can’t ever thank them enough because if I never met them I wouldn’t be the strong independent successful woman I am today.

I cannot say enough great things about Guiding Star Tampa. Finding a practice that uses a model that is natural and holistic is so hard to find these days. They don't try to sell you a quick fix but really try to find the root of what's going on in your body. From the moment you walk in, everyone is so personable and kind. You truly feel cared for here. The medical staff made me feel so comfortable during my appointment. They also have so many great education and support services here from mommy support groups, art as therapy, and healing groups from past trauma. And so much more!
All of the staff is so phenomenal and go above and beyond to provide the best experience. This is a one of a kind place that offers services that uphold your dignity as a person. Everyone deserves care like the care received at Guiding Star Tampa.

I currently don’t have insurance and was referred to go here. I was worried that since I didn’t have insurance I would be rushed out, but that was not the case. Dr. Taylor took her time, has a great bed side manner, her and her staff made me feel comfortable. I will continue to come here even after I get insurance.

I have used Guiding Star of Tampa Bay multiple times over the years. My first experience with them was to confirm a pregnancy to secure insurance. They were warm and welcoming and had tons of resources available for me as well as support groups and classes if needed. Since then I have been back for my yearly check up, I do not have insurance because the cost is just too high for our budget right now. It was great to get peace of mind when all my results came back good and i didnt have to worry about an outrageous bill at the end.
Now I am back again for prenatal care. I love that they offer childcare for when you attend your appt. or some of the other classes they offer. There is a great support system right withing this wonderful program and I am glad I came across them and have been able to benefit from their services throughout the years.

Amazing amazing amazing amazing!!! After going back and forth between doctors who just wanted to pump me up with meds and hormones, I finally found Guiding Star: a place where they truly value the dignity of the woman...and they do it HOLISTICALLY and NATURALLY. Their patience and kindness in finding a natural solution perfectly tailored to my body- something that I have never seen in other healthcare providers- is an absolute blessing. Go here if you want to be truly cared for. This office is about 45 minutes to an hour away from me, but I make the drive because I know I will not receive healthcare like this anywhere else!

Guiding Star Tampa is leading the growth of women's healthcare to natural and holistic focused well-women care at all stages of her life. GST has accomplished this transition by assisting each client develop her mind, body, and spirit using techniques that do no harm. It has been a joy to volunteer at GST over the last five years. Many positive changes have occurred during this time, all leading to the present state of the art medical center that enriches women's lives by meeting their immediate needs and preparing them for their future.
