Dr. Jackie opens the cabinet to Married to Medicine.
The medicine cabinet has been opened tonight with the premiere of Married to Medicine. Let me give you the skinny on what you found. Tonight was only a glimpse of the exciting world of doctors when the white coats come off. We saw beauty, sassy, boisterous, humor, and intelligence and rolled up in one episode. Is it hard to tell the MDs from the Mrs. MDs -- the ladies that help to get their husbands off to the office?
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Dr. Jackie, a prominent OBGYN in Atlanta. Some may call me "Dr Diva." I work hard and play little. Tonight I was even referred to as boring, elderly, Mother Theresa, and Gandhi-like. It's not easy being beautiful, intelligent, and reasonable, but I do it with class and style. I guess I'm like wine, as I age I become more valuable. Dr. Simone Witchmore (as she's sometimes referred to), is my former partner. She will always say out loud whatever she's feeling. She will never be called boring. Let me tell you a secret. . .She is often mistaken for Dr. Jackie!
Everyone has heard the saying, "Behind every good man is a good woman." I refer to them as "Mrs.MD." This is unfamiliar territory for me and a whole new world. It is a world full of different fashion, language, and reason.
Dr. Jackie please don't change who you are for those crazy women. I remember as a teenager I was not accepted because I was not rough around the edges I was considered to prissy or snobby . Even to this day my husbands friends wives don't have anything to do with me because I'm told I act snobby when the real problem is that I choose to be a lady and they choose to be like the ill behaved cast mates that ate on the show. I will never stop being a lady or change who I am for anyone and you do the same Dr. Jackie.
Dr. Jackie I'm so happy to see a beautiful intelligent black woman like you tear down all the negative stereo types of black women. Your elegance shines from inside to the outside. My mother always told me to carry myself like a lady at all times. Which I do because although I'm 28 I have the morbid fear of disappointing my mom and most of all dissapointing myself as a woman. However Dr.Jackie as I mature through the years I hope I am as elegant and as beautiful as you are. Also I admire all that you went through with your breast cancer. I believe when you go through something hard it makes you stronger. I have sickle cell anemia and six years ago I almost lost my life as a result of complications with my disease, so when I see others who overcome cancer various disease and survive it its inspiring to me. In no way am I comparing myself to a cancer survivor but I just want you to know your story inspires me to not let my disease destroy my spirit and no matter how much physical pain I experience Im going to keep fighting just as you did . I wish you success in all that you do Sincereley Tabitha Palmer
Respect to you
Dr Jackie! THANK YOU for expressing how the wife of a doctor should behave at company gatherings!! You should remain professional matter what! Just because a woman maybe African-American does not mean she has to be ghetto!! We did not all grow up that way and I don't care what color you are it is very embarrassing to see someone behave like that!!
Loving your cool reserve and sense of style. It is very hard to come by and a level I myself haven't got too, but wish very much that I could. Don't change for the sake of being more popular. Our young women need to see the way you handle yourself. Now that is just from what I see so far.
Love you Dr Jackie & hope the other women can have some of your class rub off on them! Not a good start especially by the fake quad!
Hi Dr. Walters! You delivered both of my babies and when I saw the preview for this show I could not imagine how my classy doctor was going to fit in with the other less refined women on the show. After watching I was so relieved that you did not fit in! Loved you in the delivery room and love you on the show.
Love Dr. Jackie! . . . that was so funny I laugh every time I see that commercial! Can't wait to see more!
I get you, but some people will not. You need to liven up and show the fun side of you.
You are fabulous. I work in the Marietta/Cobb area and Ive heard good things about your practice. Hope to see more of you on this show. Very happy to see a professional in the community represented on the show!
I hope you all will see Toya for who she is a trouble maker who is out to make Quad look bad.
Doctor,
My first impression of you is - stuffy, conceited, and very judgmental. You may not be, but the look on your face is I don't have time for these low class people. I don't know a doctor who walks in pumps all day. I have no problem with looking good, but if everyone look ed and acted like you the world would be boring. Don't try to make people act or be like you, you are not God. You are not perfect.
Love you on this show, so sick of women of color always acting a hot mess when every we get on a TV show.
I think you are fabulous. You are classy, educated, stylish and graceful. Please do not change! Just because you are not loud, doesn't mean you are old and irrelevant.
While I do think that you and Simone are boring a tad bit but that's why I like you guys the most because y'all are not mixed up in the drama and know how to carry yourselves like true educated classy women it gets very old quickly after seeing the same drama episode after episode. I hope that you do did get a lot of camera time or I will have to be fast forwarding a lot with the other girls and their silly petty drama filled lives
Doc, you did great! You are who you are...please don't change. Show those ghetto, non class chicks what CLASS looks like.
Why do I get the feeling that under this prim exterior is a woman that's a whirling dervish of epic proportions?
You are very stuffy.... it's spring... open the windows & your mind. Do not allow close-minded thoughts to deter you from meeting new people, giving them a chance, and possibly enjoying the company of others. You may even find a new friend in someone different than you. Being carbon copies of others in life is boring.... difference and uniqueness make the world go 'round. I'm not sure if you said this or the other doctor, but who really cares is someone wears pantyhose with peep toed shoes? However, being that you work hard and have a very admirable profession as we need good dedicated doctors in the world, your personality gets a pass as long as you maintain being a good doctor! :)
Dr. Jackie, you are funny, not boring. You tell the truth, straight, no chaser. I appreciate your candor. You own everything about you. You may not be the life of the party but you definitely entertain. Much continued success! I do love Mariah and Quad though. They are extra funny and real!





Dr. Jackie love you sista!
