My original review was 5 stars because I believed that I would be able to reach back out to…read morePiedmont and they would respond. My new review is 0 stars. And I look forward to putting it on every review platform I can find to warn others. This is the specific location. 882 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30306 United States Phone number: +1 (770) 809-3034 Dr. Christina Collector Christina if you're reading this, you assured me 1. You'd reach out to make sure everything went smoothly post appointment and 2. That it is possible to call this urgent care and someone would answer.... They do not respond to any calls, at any hour, or voicemails. They don't even respond on their mychart platform which is again, absurd. I have selected every one of their choices, attempted to speak to front desk, billing, you name it. NO RESPONSE. I have called several times a day between May 28th and June 24th (when I'm writing this review) they do not respond to anything. All I need is an itemized bill of what they did while I was in urgent care to submit to my medical insurance. ICD codes, CPT codes, etc are required for insurance to bill. Mind you before I left both Dr. Christina Collector and her receptionist assured me I could call, contact them my email or my chart for an itemized bill. Yet, No response. Nothing. The bill they gave me is attached. It's a joke. But Piedmont did send me another bill by mail!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received June 20th... I am from out of state. I was visiting Atlanta for a graduation May 25th when I got injured with a laceration. The cut was deep enough for stitches but we didn't make it to urgent care in time. So essentially, Dr. Christina Collector washed the wound, put iodine, Neosporin and a bandage on. All of this could cost someone maybe $50 from cvs. The bill was flat rate $210 and the receipt they gave me was a joke. The saddest thing is, I wanted so badly to like this place and this dr. Now I get to spend my time writing this review and if their medical bills continue to be sent to me? Look forward to alerting the local media and seeing them in court.

This will be my last visit to this location…read more I have a sinus infection. Had them before. Sometimes I get one in the Spring. Know exactly what's going on. Know what the effective treatment has been every time. I haven't been sick long enough with it apparently. As I've had a sinus infection 3 years ago, they asked if I'd seen an ENT. Waste of half a day off work. Had poison ivy. Had it before. Knew exactly what's was going on. Knew when, where and how I got it. When poison ivy starts sprouting, I will come in contact with it because I don't see it. Argued with me as to what it was and didn't want to treat it. I had to demand the effective treatment of steroids and cream. Had an ear ache. Knew what my symptoms were. It was Summer. Had been to the beach. 3 trips to this location for three different incorrect and unsuccessful diagnoses. They went as far as to tell me I had a fungal ear infection and I needed an ENT. Nope. Went to my GP and they removed wax buildup I had pushed deep by accident. Instantly better. Listening to the patient and treating them the first time is all I'm looking for. This location demonstrates they cannot do that. Not steering me to an ENT 5 weeks in the future. I have had multiple visits that resulted in incorrect or unreliable treatment. All the ailments were run of the mill, seasonal situations, with easy, common remedies. This ain't an episode of HOUSE. Edit: they did finally give me a script for antibiotics, so the visit wasn't a whole washout. One star added back.

She took my vitals, told me what there were and ASKEd me if I wanted too be weighed....lol. I did and that was good too.... My physician was very knowledgeable about my condition and she subscribed me a bunch of stuff to take care of my pain and condition. I truly recommend Piedmont. This is my first time at this location, I have visited the Camp Creek location also and top tier just busier. Thanks for a stressless visit.

I am so thankful that I came back to Southside Medical Center main office. My family and I have…read morebeen patients here for generations. My 96 years old grandmother recommended this location because she believed this was one of the centers that has been in existence for more than 90 years. This location was one of the first places that I remember my grandmother, my mother and I coming for Medical Services for decades. I'm very pleased to say that the staff is friendly. I initially spoke with the administrative staff in the specialty center, her name was Miyah, she's the one who reached out to nurse J. Jones. Now now Nurse J Jones was definitely a blessing in disguise, she was very professional, listened carefully to assure she understood why we were there and what we needed. Nurse J Jones was very helpful. She made my sister feel safe and it felt like we knew her for years, but we had only met her minutes after walking in the door. I believe Nurse Jones needs some type of accommodation because she could've just suggested we come back another day, but she really was invested in helping my sister with her care. I even got a chance to meet the manager of the entire Medical Center doing this visit. His name was Mr. Earl, this gentleman was very pleasant and wanted to know how they were doing, and I did not hesitate to express my appreciation for the main location. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this location was very modern and extremely clean. I was impressed to find out that they had a special waiting area for senior citizens. This was a great decision because seniors can read books, watch television, get updates and other resources while they wait for their appointment. They even offered healthy snacks and water in the senior section and I learned that they escort the seniors to their scheduled appointment if and when they need assistance. This shows that they are really invested in community and plan to do everything to keep this Community informed, safe and healthy as possible. Everyone that I came in contact with was more than ready and able to help us. They were very patient, friendly and even the temperature in the building was very relaxing. So, I just want to say, I appreciate Southside Medical Center for staying in our community and providing excellent services.

am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the severe lack of professionalism, administrative…read morefailures, and critical medical negligence I experienced while under the care of your practice, specifically concerning Dr. Eberechukwu Azuma and Dr. Georwana Jefferson. The medical mismanagement and dismissive behavior of your staff not only caused me severe financial hardship but directly placed the health of my unborn child and myself at serious risk. My specific grievances include the following: 1. Critical Diagnostic Errors (Incorrect Due Date): Dr. Azuma established my initial due date. Based entirely on this timeline, I went on maternity leave, only to later discover the due date was wrong by an entire month. This massive error caused me a severe lack of funds during a critical time. 2. Near-Fatal Medical Decisions: Because of the incorrect timeline, multiple routine tests, including my glucose screening, were administered far too early. Furthermore, I was told my baby might have Fetal Macrosomia (FMG). I was nearly induced early based on this faulty timeline. An unnecessary early induction would have created severe, life-threatening health risks for my baby and me. 3. Dismissive and Inadequate Examinations: During my appointments, Dr. Jefferson repeatedly rushed through my visits. Dr. Jefferson also brushed off my concerns and assured me everything was fine based solely on a heartbeat check and a fundal height tape measurement, completely missing the fact that the gestational age was inaccurate. 4. Abandonment of Care: After Provider Azuma established my initial due date, I never saw Azuma again, resulting in zero continuity of care. 5. Abysmal Communication and Staff Attitude: The office staff consistently demonstrated an unprofessional attitude. The clinic lines were rarely answered. On the rare occasions, someone did pick up the phone, staff members rushed through the calls, showing a complete lack of empathy and patient care. 6. Inability to Transfer Care: Because I am already far along in my pregnancy, I have been unable to secure care from another obstetric provider. As a result, I am effectively forced to remain with the same clinic responsible for these serious errors, despite my concerns about the safety and quality of my care. The gravity of this situation was only caught because I took it upon myself to get a second opinion from an outside doctor. Had I stayed with your practice, I would have been induced a month early under a false diagnosis, which is an unacceptable breach of the standard of care. The anxiety, emotional distress, and financial strain your practice caused my family during what should have been a joyful time are inexcusable. I expect a formal, written response detailing how your office plans to investigate these providers and what actions it will take to ensure no other patient is subjected to this dangerous level of care.

I was a patient at this practice for about 8 years. I'll preface by saying for the most part, my…read moremedical care and the medical staff were good. However, the front office staff and office policies have not been a good experience. I recently moved out of state and attempted to access my records via the patient portal and could not access them. Per an email request, I received a phone call saying I could complete a form for my new physician (I've already done this) and if I wanted my records I could PAY A FEE for them to be provided via CD. I have two overwhelming concerns: 1) I and/or my insurance company have paid through the nose for medical care for the past 8 years; and 2) who uses CDs anymore-- new computers don't come with a CD drive! What century are you in? Everything is cloud-based now and precisely why I should be able to access my records via the portal. As an example, I can access my Emory and Mayo Clinic records today (some are over 2 decades old and others over a decade old). This is a terrible business practice and nothing but a MONEY MAKER for this practice. I'm hugely disappointed in this nonsensical practice. And, I would also be concerned about a medical office SNAIL MAILING private, medical records. Isn't this a HIPAA privacy concern?

This practice has a lot of great reviews and I want to share my experience in case it helps…read moresomeone. In January 2025 I made an appointment for the earliest new patient appointment, which was in June 2025. I decided to wait for the appointment because I really appreciated the philosophy found on the website and definitely liked the glowing reviews. I had positive interactions with all staff I encountered and the clinic was clean and bright. The provider I met with suspected a new problem/diagnosis and so started a work up with labs and imaging. Clinic staff did follow up with me once labs resulted out and referred me to a specialist. The ordered imaging was performed ~2 weeks after my new patient appt but I never received follow up, from the NP or anyone else at Ponce Primary Care re: the imaging results. It has now been ~3 months since my last communication, specific to my care, with anyone in this office. I decided to reach out to discuss the standard of care, which I felt to be lacking. Dr. Chad Costley did return my call within an hour or so and he did verbalize disappointment with my situation. He assured me that my experience is unfortunately the exception to their typical patient experience. I was informed that the NP I had been assigned to was "only part-time and here less than a month". I did not ever receive any communication from Ponce Primary Care to notify me that my assigned provider was departing or to invite me to call to schedule with another provider for seamless continuity of care. I was told that my imaging results were never sent by the imaging facility I went to and that "this is where the wheels came off". That is absolutely possible but it was also not confirmed to be true at the time of the statement. The report not being in the patient chart does not mean it was never received by the ordering office or sent to the ordering provider. Sometimes things get scanned and assigned incorrectly, or not scanned at all. Lots of possibilities there. To me, that shows a lack of accountability for not holding a supervisory review of a departing provider's caseload/EMR task list and it also fails to consider that an out-of-state fax number associated with the ordering provider could be the problem. I waited 6 months for a new patient appointment and, whatever the circumstances, was lost in the shuffle. I will not be continuing with this practice, although I'm sure they have many satisfied patients as evidenced by their overall rating. My advice if you wish to establish/continue care here: Be able to advocate for yourself and for your own healthcare. Be knowledgeable about when to follow up on your care in case the practice doesn't. If the wait is still 6 months out for a new patient appointment when you try to schedule, do not think an extra special or VIP experience awaits you - realize that they just might be too busy to accept new patients.

UPDATED REVIEW - 10/16/2020 - BELOW…read more Customer Service: Customer service is poor. The staff are nice and friendly in the office, but are almost impossible to reach by phone. They rarely return phone calls. Physician: Dr. Waters no longer sees my family member, she passed my family member off to a Nurse Practitioner, the NP is professional and friendly and so far I haven't had any issues with her care, but she isn't a MD. Office: Office is not too small and nothing special. The last time I went inside the television was off? I'm not sure if they had enough money to purchase Netflix, Hulu or Cable? Parking: Parking area is sufficient, but the office has moved into an area that is not as nice as her previous office. Additional: Dr. Water's office nickels and dimes the patients now. I'm not sure if it's because she's hurting financially (see TV comment above) or what the reason is, but my family member went to a scheduled appointment and asked them to fill out a form for work; they wanted to charge an extra $25 fee to fill out a paper for her job. That should be part of the office visit. I consider that unacceptable and very poor customer service. This medical office has gone from being one of the best in Atlanta to being just like all the others, not very good. Summary: Overall, because it's almost impossible to get anyone on the phone or get return phone calls, because they want to nickel and dime you for every single thing and because they have to send patients out for many things now, I would definitely not suggest Dr. Waters anymore. Perhaps if she addresses these problems and returns to the way she did business before I would change my review, but as of now I can't recommend her to anyone. Pros: 1. Parking is never an issue Cons: 1. Very difficult to reach anyone by phone. 2. Nickel and dimes patients now 3. No longer able to do lab work at office because LabCorp will not send Phlebotomists to office d/t Covid and office staff very inexperienced with drawing blood. (Costing MORE for the patient) 4. Sends out patients because they don't have proper equipment or the experience to perform basic exams or obtain diagnostics. (Costing MORE for the patient) "F" as of this review. Let's hope they improve. UPDATED REVIEW - 10/16/2020 - ABOVE

I really loved the location of this office. I initially started off being a patient of Dr. Moore-…read moreWaters and ended up being a patient of Dr. D'Souza's due to needing an emergency appointment one time. Let me just say thank God they didn't have the "you-can't-see-a- different-physician-in-our-practice" policy like another medical practice I used to go to. Both Dr Moore-Waters and Dr. D'Souza are great doctors, hands down!! Absolutely no complaints there. Very thorough, friendly and very informative. It's hard to find great physicians like them these days. Now here comes the minor negative.....and I really mean minor negative.... No x-ray facility so if you needed a chest or spinal x-ray, you'd have to trek to Dekalb Medical Center. The clerical staff seemed absent minded at times. I'd call to ask a question and get transferred around sometimes. It wasn't a constant thing but it certainly happened here and there and was frustrating. Now here is why I've taken a one star deduction. I called to make an appointment last month and not only was I informed Dr. D'Souza was no longer with the practice but I was also informed the practice had moved to Tucker, GA. I was shocked because I wasn't notified about any of this and really felt left out in the cold. At this point I feel like I'm at a crossroads. Tucker is not terribly far but I feel like the carpet has been pulled out from under me. I have more questions than answers and I'm not sure what has happened because Dr. Moore-Waters hadn't been at that particular location very long. For years she was next door to Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd but none the less, she's been in Decatur for years. Maybe I'll never know and maybe it's none of my business but I do feel a bit neglected by not being informed. Either way, it doesn't diminish Dr. Moore-Waters' and Dr. D'Souza's expertise as physicians
