I am able to discuss my medical history with her without judgment or making me feel uncomfortable. She is thorough in her examination and has great recommendations on how I can improve my overall health. On my first visit, she found some things that have been going awry in my health and quickly rectified the situation. Her staff is very professional and accommodating to me while I'm in their care. The office is very modern and beautiful as well. The wait time to see Dr. Blakeney is never long and I'm always out within 30 minutes. Within a year I should be in tip top shape as far as my health is concerned while in her care. I'm so glad that I found a doctor who cares about my well being and respects me as a human being. I feel so much better daily since I have been following her advice and recommendations. She has a patient for life with me!!!!

I expressed concern because we were due to travel out of state in a couple of days so Caine told me to call & let them know if I hadn't improved before we left so they could call in a different medicine if need. The person who checked me out was also super helpful & asked if I needed a work excuse. This was great because I had forgotten all about asking for one. If you need to see a doctor without an appointment I highly recommend this team and location

People don't come to be seen because they're in the best mood or shall I say best Health possibly so but this is not a place to have that type of a rigged attitude.

Do yourself a favor and just call AU health's central appointment line. The staff can't make appointments without new patient forms filled out. And they can't expedite new patient appointments based on patient needs. There is no webform and no way to submit the form via a modern interface like email. Instead you have to go though their disastrously implemented new patient portal (separate from their patient portal that is accessible though the website) doesn't seem to transmit jpegs or pdfs despite showing them in the sent folder. The person on the phone can't tell you if your forms went through on their garbage messaging system. Even if they do go through, the doctor has to 'accept' you. There is no time expectation for this step, it takes as long as it takes, could be weeks. Is this an exclusive club or a primary care doctor? Each time I call they tell me my expected wait for my new patient appointment is longer, from 2 weeks the first time I called and attempted to submit the form to 4-6 weeks today. There were too many red flags, I just couldn't believe this complete lack of professionalism and poor service. Thank goodness I called the AU central line today, they gave me an new patient primarily care appointment two days from now. If I had started with AU I could have avoided hours of stress and headaches and some urgent care and ER visits. Don't be fooled!

For my very first review of the year, I'd like to write specifically about Dr. Paige Ward, one of…read morethe doctors here at this practice. I cannot stress the importance of a good support team when you're a new parent. It takes a village to raise a child but when it's just you and your hubby, a phenomenal pediatrician saves is a lifeline when you have those sleepless nights worrying about your child. As a proud first time mom who has absolutely no experience raising children, I had a lot of questions when my baby was born. How do I hold her? Is that noise coming out of her normal? is she supposed to be cross-eyed? She coughed. Does that mean she's sick? And so many poop questions. You'll be surprised how much you learn about poop and gas and farting when you become a parent. As a mom who has a special needs child, my concerns are a little different than some other parents. I have to worry about her ability to breathe on her own, swallow, and hold her head. I have tiny white hairs on my head that basically serve as a timeline for when I get the most stressed and how long I've been stressed. Routine checkups aren't typical checkups for us and after 2 months of being in and out of the hospital, I can confidently say I've lucked out with one of the best doctors in Augusta. And I'm so grateful she's looking after my daughter. I have seen Dr. Ward practically once every other week and she has never once made us feel rushed, uncomfortable, or uneasy with anything that was going on in the exam rooms. She walks in with a big warm smile (in a very timely manner by the way), listens to every concern you have, handles your child like they were her own and pushes for the best possible treatment options for your baby as well. She asks if your opinion on any other doctors seeing your child and really encourages you to open up 'cause as she likes to say, "this is what I would do if it was my child." We always walk out of the office feeling confident and uplifted because our daughter's doctor has never once let us down. We go home with more knowledge, a game plan and a follow up plan every single time. It's the best feeling in the world knowing that someone so amazing has made it their business to make sure your kid is their top priority. And it's not just when you're in the exam room. We've received follow up calls at home and at the hospital from her personally because she's just that compassionate. All doctors should be like her. If I won the lottery, I'd pay beautiful people to shower the ground she walks on with rose petals like in "Coming to America." And yes, she really does deserve it.

The doctor she saw LAUGHED at her because she was too old to be accepted to a trial that had opened up. He literally told her, The meds your taking just don't work and that was your last hail-Mary so I don't know what to tell you. NO EMPATHY, NO COMPASSION. I called the office manager to express concern and she has not called me back, and it's been a week now! There were several other things the doctor said that were equally as horrible but I am putting all of that into a letter being sent to the Medical Board! COMPASSION AND EMPATHY SHOULD NOT BE OPTIONAL IN ONCOLOGY!!! An oncologist shouldn't tell a 56 year-year old to go home and die because there's no other option! CRUEL AND HORRIBLE!! I'm sure his entire staff would be mortified if they knew he also came into the room complaining about them to us (which is how he started the conversation...not with hello...complaining about the staff and their incompetence!) Dr. S.... is a horrible person and needs to get a different job, perhaps as the guy that kills cattle for a living as he doesn't seem to care about life so that would be more suited to his abilities as a human!
