My cousin, who is a nurse, knew that I was looking for a neurosurgeon and mentioned that she had…read moreworked with Dr. Gates before. She said he was a joy to work with, and very kind, humble and knowledgeable. She suggested I try him. Hands-down, he is the best doctor that I've ever seen. He has wonderful bedside manner, was very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. He wasn't condescending. I don't need to see a neurosurgeon often, so it won't be often that I need to see him, but I wish there were more doctors like him. If you need a neurosurgeon, he's amazing

I am so thankful for Dr. Gates. I awoke 2 years ago with no previous trauma to my back, but could…read morenot stand up straight. The pain was excruciating, resulting in me having to go to the emergency room because the pain was so bad that it was adversely impacting my blood pressure. Due to multiple trips to the emergency room I was admitted. The attending physician in her discharge notes referred me as normal to an orthopedic specialist, but she also mentioned that there was a neurosurgeon in the Piedmont Physician's Group that she would like for me to obtain a consult. Of course the Ortho doctor initially ordered PT which did not help me and after 2 months of that, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gates, for the first time, a doctor actually listened to me. He ordered a nerve study and other test and more x-rays and when I returned for our consultation, he took time, we reviewed the results and he provided a diagnosis and plan of action. Diagnosis, sciatica and my L4 & L5 disc had slipped and was pinching my nerves. At this time I am on a walker. I had gone in less than 6 months from high impact aerobics to living, breathing and with every movement of my body being in horrible pain & only able to be slightly mobile on a walker with no relief regardless as to the strength of the pain medication. So very thankful for the ER's referral to Dr. Gates! He was caring, listened to my concerns and fears and provided me with a comprehensive plan of action that included a foraminotomy procedure that restored my quality of life and removed constant, tingling in my (R) leg and hip and living without constant pain and discomfort. Thank you Dr. Gates for your professional, caring approach to patient care. In my months of care with this physician, he only presented himself as a physician that was 100% dedicated to improving my health! 2 years later and I am still happy and pain free! Praying that you experience the same outcome, GOD BLESSED ME WITH DR. GATES!

Great doctor, caring, takes time to explain, just wonderful! Wish all doctors were like himread more

Dr. Morton is the best!!! Seriously, I love him, he's wonderful. He takes his time with his…read morepatients and listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain everything. He's pleasant, thoughtful, funny, and empathetic. Truly, I can't say enough good things about him. Hell, I wish we were friends. He's great. That said, his clinic at Wellstar Paulding closed and he fell off the face of the earth. I've called all the hospitals in the area, including Emory where he did his Residency, thinking maybe they kept up with doctors who went through their program. I've tried it all. I think I finally figured out where he is, but they were so cryptic on the phone and said they couldn't give him a message from me. I just want a referral to a new Neuro, if he's no longer taking patients. Is he? No clue. They closed up shop at Wellstar and didn't give any warning or get me in to see him one last time before he left. I was due for an appt around the time they closed, as I go in regularly. If anyone sees this and knows him or if Dr. Morton sees this, himself, please reach out. (Miss you, Doc! You're the best!) If you're not taking patients anymore, please contact me to point me in the right direction. I'm having a hard time finding a new doctor. If he gets to a clinic where he is taking patients again, I swear to you you'll never regret choosing him as your doctor. He's amazing and I'm so bummed he's not my Neuro anymore.

I saw this doctor today and was very thankful I found her. She is the kind of doctor you hope for,…read morecaring, listens, takes time to ask you lots of questions and lets you tell her things you believe are important. i would highly recommend based on my time with her!

I have the oddest case of sciatica. Instead of bothering me when I stand, it only gives me grief…read morewhen I sit or lie down. So far, the symptoms have been eliminated for 4 hours at a time by ropinirole, but that is not a fix. My L5 vertebra has a small calcified area on it that sometimes slightly compresses my nerve root. I do not want surgery, so I stayed away from orthopedic surgeons. I searched for a neurologist with a holistic approach to nerve pain, and found Dr. Xaioyan Guo. She graduated from Peking University with her medical degree, then came to the United States to obtain further degrees and certifications in nerve conduction, psychology, and clinical work, as well as certifications from the appropriate boards, agencies, and peer reviews. Her patient satisfaction surveys on Google+ show a remarkable rating of 4.8 out of 5, with over 380 respondents. In my appointment with her, she listened attentively, asked pertinent questions, and expertly checked my muscle tone by groups, my reaction times, and reflex points body-wide. I am scheduled for an MRI next week, and she will lay out a non-surgical treatment plan after that. I have great confidence that God will heal me through this doctor's ministrations.
