Dr. Downs has been my physician for almost 24 years! She is Hands down the Best Physician! Her…read moreNurse Nancy is Phenomenal and consistently responds in a timely manner. Truly a Dream Team! From check in to check out all the ladies at the front desk are efficient and thorough. They offer a patient portal for the tech savvy where you can request appointments, request prescription refills or leave a message for the Doctor. If you prefer the old fashion call in to make an appointment, the front desk makes it easy and painless. I love that they still call the day before for appointment reminders and if you need to cancel, you can do so at the touch of a button. They accept most Insurances and major credit cards. If you ever have questions, most can be answered with a simple phone call or by logging into the patient portal. So if you are in the market for an Exceptional Physician and Excellent Client Care, look no further than Hawthorne Medical Associates!

I lived in athens for 7 years and went to dr. Downs as my family doctor. She and that staff were…read moregreat. Dr. Downs was caring and to me the most important was cautious. She asked all the right questions to help identify your issue and if she felt it could be more serious she always did those tests to be sure it wasn't. Most doctors do not do this. She recommended a few specialists for me and they were all great as well. Even in those cases she would treat how she could and then the nurse would call and get me in right away at the other doctor. I would highly recommend if she is taking new patients!!

Very unfriendly staff, can't get appointments, wait time is awful, don't bother making a complaint…read morebecause you will receive condensending remarks. I may not have an M.D. but I do have a .Ph.d. and I know patients are not suppose to be treated with lack of consideration, courtesy and compassion. DO NOT CONSIDER THIS OFFICE!!!!!

I'm so glad to have found Oconee Primary Care. I feel like Dr. Mary Kim always is a good listener…read moreand is great at her job. She seems to be invested in helping her patients. Her staff is polite, they answer the phones, AND they return phone calls-- usually within the same business day. I also can get same-day appointments if something comes up (ie, cold, infection, flu... the usual stuff). All offices should be run like Oconee Primary Care.

I'd like to start off with, it wasn't always bad. I loved my NP that I was seeing while as a…read morepatient there and for the most part I loved the rest of the office staff, however I experienced an unacceptable breakdown in continuity of care at this office recently. Due to a complex family history involving Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, I asked to see another provider in the clinic after a brief hospital visit and to my follow up with her to ensure my symptoms were fully evaluated and diagnostic testing was initiated. After a few days and receiving no response to my portal inquiries regarding my care, I followed up with the office, where I was met with disrespect from staff simply for seeking basic answers. Two days later, and midway through active diagnostic testing, I was abruptly terminated as a patient without prior notice, no portal message, no phone call, no nothing until I received their generic dismissal/firing letter with no cause, or explanation, and my portal access was immediately locked. I have retained all documentation and screenshots of these communications. A patient should never be disrespected or discharged mid-testing simply for advocating for their health. Before anyone tries to say I'm just a disgruntled ex employee I promise I am writing this as a former patient, not a former employee.

His office staff is terrible. Very rude. They gave a habit of loosing payments and then demand you…read morepay again. I went in for my yearly physical. All Dr. Bond did was check my breathing. Tech check my bp. I had recently had a car wreck and had a hurt knee and leg. He wouldn't even look at it. Ask me if I needed X-rays. Had to ask me what meds he prescribed to me. Very cold visit. Office manager refused to make another appointment until I paid for bills I had already paid from 2015 and 2016. I would not recommend this office anymore. Terrible office staff and dr is lacking in concern for patients.
