I began going to Dr. Stroup and Dr. Saker in 1974 when I was expecting my first child. Both doctors were very caring and were very good at what they did, Dr. Stroup had a gentleness exuded every fiber of his being which I really needed with the loss of a pregnancy. I look back on those days with fondness.

There was a time when Dr. Stroup birthed or prepared for birth most of the babies in Southside Atlanta. I went to him for my pre-marital physical in 1965 and continued with him under Stroup & Carder until Dr. Carder left the practice. When Dr. Carder left, the practice (same location) went to Dr. Alexander Saker, with whom I stayed until his retirement. Have not been happy with a gynecologist since then. Those were different times and different ways. Sympathies to his family in their loss and pleasant memories and appreciation to Dr. David Stroup for his many years of medical service.

Dr. Stroup was my ob/gyn from 1957 until his retirement. He was such a gentle man and a true southern gentlemen. My deepest sympathy to his family. I worked with him also at South Fulton Hospital.
