Dr. Smiddy spent more than 30 minutes, one on one, going over my medical history and was steadfast in his pursuit of details regarding my health. He's also a bit of a rare find in that he possesses a very keen sense of listening. Furthermore, while the results of my bloodwork were good and unloaded into the patient's portal the following morning, Dr. Smiddy had an associate call me just to reassure me that everything was fine, which is a courtesy I've not experienced since patient records were put online. Highly recommended.

The front office staff is not professional. They do not identify themselves by name when answering…read morethe inbound calls to the office so you will not know who is talking to you unless you ask them for their name. When requesting any help with medication refills over the phone, they will read a script to contact the pharmacy again to have them send over the request to get the refill and not allow you to speak to a nurse or doctor. They will not admit any errors or mistakes. Their webpage states, https://druidhillsprimarycare.com/coming-soon for Prescription information, This Page is Under Construction. When you have any additional questions for the doctors, you must make an appointment with the doctor as they will not call you. I am no longer a patient at this office after several years of issues with them as they were unwilling to realize the front office staff was not helping people.

As stated previously ad nauseum for Laureate Medical Group, Dr Ghosh has been my doctor for 18…read moreyears but I can rarelyobtain an appointment with him. Scheduling personnel are clueless. Dr. Ghosh takes visits at Midtown and Spivey Station offices, but scheduler again tries to set up appointment at Sandy Springs with a doctor I've never heard of. This is not Dr. Ghosh's fault, but Laureate office staff are hopelessly screwed up. When I finally saw Dr. Ghosh one week ago after an ER visit, he directed me to make a follow-up appointment 4 weeks later. Told by check-out personnel that no appointment is available in this timeframe. Heads need to roll at Laureate; office manager needs to be replaced.

Iam so blessed to have had Dr. Hawkins as my surgeon for many reasons! Not only was she an…read moreefficient & competent surgeon, but her bedside manner is impeccable! I couldn't have possibly had a more proficient surgeon had I dreamed one up! Lol. I'm one of those people who really research anyone who is going to be my medical professional. Simply because you only have one life, & you want the best to work with & on you. Plus, i have to be extra thorough in screening doctors because I am a transgender male. It can be very difficult to find good medical care. Someone who isn't going to treat you like an experiment or a mental case. So, you can imagine my excitement when i discovered Dr. Hawkins! My first initial visit with Dr. Hawkins was great. She took me to her office, got to know me, & asked me many questions about what i had been going through. She presented me with options I had not thought of, & gave me some new information that I had not considered. She checked me out, & I was on my way. Days later my body went haywire!!!! It was a nightmare! I was pouring blood, & having huge blood clots. Which had happened once before. I had to change pads & tampons every 30 mins to an hour. I was experiencing difficulty even getting through the day. So, i kept in contact with her medical assistant Jessica. Jessica & Dr. Hawkins make a superb team! Jessica went above & beyond her call of duty. Any time I called her, she was so calm & reassuring! She helped me any way she could! One of the difficult parts about this whole process was that my uterus had literally grown as if i was carrying a baby. It was about 9 inches long. It was up in my abdomen. I had to go to the hospital at least 3 times, & one of those times was an overnight stay that I had to receive a blood transfusion. My leg & foot had almost doubled in size. I went to my podiatrist, & she referred me to a vascular doctor. He discovered I had multiple blood clots in both legs. My uterus was literally tearing my body apart. A year earlier I had been seeing a urologist. My uterus was causing the problem with my bladder. Dr. Hawkins had discovered that my uterus was so large that it was not only crushing my bladder, but sitting on a large vein or vessel (can't remember which) in which was causing the blood clots because the blood couldn't flow properly to my legs. Consequently, I had to have an IVC filter put in to even have the surgery. I had already had one pulmonary embolism due to the blood clots. Dr. Hawkins even admitted to me that this may be a little bit more difficult then she expected. She never gave up though. She consulted with an oncologist that specialized in difficult situations like this. She did her homework. Once I was able to finally have my surgery I was overjoyed!!!! Finally all my agony was about to be over! The day of the surgery Dr. Hawkins reassured me that everything would be fine. My surgery went spectacular. No problems during or after. Once I was okay, she even came to see me on her own personal time. I felt very taken care of by her & her team. Healing went extremely well. My incision is barely visible. My girlfriend, a nurse, even said it looked like artwork. Clean, thin, & beautiful. If you're looking for a surgeon that is intelligent, knowledgeable, & personable do yourself a favor & go to Dr. Hawkins! Best decision of my life!

Dr. Nidhi De really surprised by her lack of concern for my post operative care. When I began…read moreexperiencing issues days after an invasive surgery the office staff gave me a hard time about requesting to be seen in person prior to a six week follow up visit. They were rude and argumentative even after I thoroughly explained what had been happening with my body. This happened not once but twice. The second time was in front of my primary doctor who called to try to get me seen after I explained what had been happening. By this time I had even been in the ER in which Dr. De did not come to see me there while at the hospital and I was still given a difficult time to be seen in person. When I was able to be seen by Dr. De she was not familiar with my chart which was evident by the questions that she asked. She even gave contradicting information from what she had previously said on a televisit call about a procedure performed during surgery. Even on the six week follow up visit, I expressed concerns about what I was continuing to experience. The symptoms progressed even after a test was ordered but I received no direction or guidance on what I could be experiencing and how to manage it. I had to send multiple messages in the portal before she would even address the issue. It was a stressful and terrible experience with FPWCG and I do not recommend Dr. De to anyone after everything that I have endured which is far beyond what is included in this review.

Jennifer Elliott's nurse assistant/front office staff provided an extremely disappointing and…read moreunacceptable experience. My appointment was scheduled for 9:00 AM, and I left home more than 40 minutes in advance. Due to unexpected traffic, I noticed around 8:45 AM that my GPS estimated my arrival at 9:18 AM. Wanting to be respectful of their time, I immediately called the office to notify them. No one answered, so I left a voicemail. A few minutes later, someone returned my call and informed me there was a 15-minute grace period. I explained that my arrival time showed 9:18 AM and asked if they could please notify the doctor, since I urgently needed this appointment. I have surgery scheduled in less than two weeks and was seeking a second opinion. I had already completed pre-op check-in and submitted all required paperwork, so I was fully prepared for the visit. Instead of showing any empathy or flexibility, the staff member repeatedly refused to notify the doctor and insisted I call back at 9:15 AM. When I called again, I was told that if I arrived after 9:15 AM, I would need to reschedule. This was incredibly frustrating, considering I was only projected to be only 3 minutes beyond the grace period. I still came, arriving at 9:18 AM, only to be turned away. The front desk attendant told me the nurse had specifically come to the front and instructed them not to let me back. What made this even worse was that the next available appointment was after my scheduled surgery, making the visit impossible to reschedule in time. Based on how dismissive and uncompassionate I was treated throughout the entire interaction, I believe I was treated this way because I am African American while Dr. Elliott and the staff are Caucasian. Whether intentional or not, the experience left me feeling discriminated against and devalued as a patient. Patients deserve fairness, professionalism, understanding, and care--not cold, rigid treatment that leaves them feeling singled out and unheard.
