I am writing to explain my personal experience with Dr. Rikhter and this clinic. I have been a…read morepatient if his for close to twenty years and consider him to be one if the finest personal physicians I have ever had. He consistently shows obvious concern for me as an individual, takes the time to be sure I understand each aspect of diagnosis and treatment, always explains choices clearly, asks lots of questions and LISTENS to the answers, and never shows irritation at being questioned or challenged in the event that I might have another idea about my own treatment. Specifically, some years back I was tested with very high cholesterol levels (which remain high today). He prescribed Lipitor after explaining possible adverse effects. After two weeks of using it I threw it away as it was making me feel tired, sore and old. A friend who had gone into the hospital for a heart attack mentioned an arterial/heart scan that his doctors had suggested should be given to all suspect patients (including those with high cholesterol). When I queried Dr. Rikhter about this, rather than resisting, he corroborated that this would be worth investigating. Long story short, the test corroborated that while cholesterol levels in my blood are high I have virtually zero blockage. He went on to suggest a further "stress" test, just to be sure, and after clearing that he suggested that he could see no compelling reason for me to go on statins (Lipitor or otherwise), even though stAtistics suggest otherwise. I have his blessing to continue without medication, just repeating the routine tests every five years. I could cite any number of other specific experiences with his professional staff, nurses, et al, and not a single negative experience on almost twenty years. I will agree that the front office has at times seemed aggressive with regard to billing, and not always as organized as I wish it were. On the other hand I have always been informed of lab results and had follow up calls, mostly by my doctor in person, on an extremely timely basis. Again, the information has been clear, patiently delivered, and I am always given the chance to ask questions or state any concerns. Once I praised Dr. Rikhter to one of his PA's who was leaving his practice. Her parting words were that even though she had once worked for Johns Hopkins in Baltimore (one of the nations most widely recognized teaching hospitals) she felt so strongly about Dr. Rikhter that she would be flying back from New Hampshire (or Vermont) every year to see him for her annual physical. I corroborate this kind of enthusiasm.

very bad treatment, charge you a lot, charge you for the services he did not done, and his…read morerepresentatives behave you badly. Do not go to his office.

Overwhelmed, fearful, helpless. That's how I felt when my loved one was diagnosed with dementia…read more It's extremely difficult to find resources and treatment. Integrated Memory Care is the only primary care practice in the U.S. specifically for people living with dementia due to Alzheimer's, frontotemporal degeneration, Lewy body, and cerebrovascular disease and their care partners. Sadly, my loved one had been diagnosed for 9 months and had been treated by multiple Emory providers. No-one mentioned IMC. I learned about it through the Shallowford Alzheimer's Caregiver support group. To Qualify Before establishing care, patients must have a dementia diagnosis. Get on the wait list for a cognitive testing appointment and make an appointment with a neurologist in the interim. Integrated Memory Care Clinic (IMCC) IMCC enables patients and family care partners to have geriatric primary care, dementia care, caregiver support and education at one location with free parking! If your loved one has a cold, needs medication management, or is experiencing dementia behaviors, specialized nurse practitioners diagnose and treat with the goal of avoiding the ER and hospital visits. One Stop Shop Instead of a primary care doctor, patients' care is managed by nurse practitioners who have advanced training & specialization in dementia, geriatrics, and palliative care. The nurse coordinates care with geriatricians, neurologists and a clinical social worker. Dementia-sensitive primary care frees you from having to explain the diagnosis at every appointment, especially if your loved one has mild dementia and "presents well." Before IMCC I called every state agency and none were helpful. I have two degrees and struggle to figure out Medicaid! We'd wait months for a visit with a senior doctor who was dismissive. Even with a great PCP, every appointment was in a different place and the providers didn't communicate with each other. After hours and on weekends, we had to visit urgent cares and the ER just to end up with a huge bill and no treatment. With IMCC Now I message the nurse on MyChart and receive a faster response. Neurology appointments are handled through IMCC, with virtual cognitive tests. When there was sudden pain, we didn't have to leave home. Dispatch Health was recommended to evaluate my loved one. A wonderful social worker provides emotional support, disease education and self-care tips. Jenny informed me about financial resources, guardianship and managing dementia-related behaviors. Treatment/Services Services include preventive care & immunizations, treatment for acute issues like falls & infections, monitoring chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, care partner-only visits, planning for future care, cognitive assessments, referrals to specialists and an after-hours line for patients with urgent issues. Resources/Information The IMCC newsletter provides information such as virtual lectures, support groups, estate planning, clinical trials and events like "Musing Together" at the High. I've attended two empowering brain health conferences. My favorite project was "Improving Care Through Improv" at Dad's Garage where caregivers learned to use humor and "yes and" strategies to better communicate with loved ones. And we were paid! Summary 188,000 people aged 65 and up live with Alzheimer's in GA. 374,000 loved ones are unpaid family caregivers. IMCC lessens the burden and enhances the quality of life of those living with dementia. I highly recommend giving IMCC a call!

Sounds like a great idea for this clinic. It only works if the staff and doctors are compassionate…read more That's why the rating is a 1. The staff and doctors are the complete opposite. They claim its an all in one fix. You can see all the necessary providers all in one shop. The problem is they aren't doctors they are NP'S & RN'S. They lack empathy and compassion but can put on a good front while in office. This might be the only one in the U.S right now but it lacks substance .
