Jayne Widener, I will say it publicly. We love Dr. Lee. She's amazing. But there is another doctor in the office that my son feels very extremely uncomfortable around due to what he perceives as excessive touching. Not bad touching, just too much contact. My son has never had this issue before so when he tells me he is sincerely uncomfortable, I listen. We scheduled him his annual physical and my husband called to find out which doctor they scheduled it with, because obviously a boy physical already involves some uncomfortable moments. My husband asked the lady who answered the phone what all a physical entailed, since it was scheduled with the dr my son does not want to see. Now, my son is in high school, has had all of his physicals on time, is up to date on shots, etc. When the lady asked what the problem was, my husband was honest with her but did not mention the dr's name. She kept grilling him (which I am absolutely sure was her attempt to ensure the safety of the office) but when my husband just said "nevermind, I'll just cancel the appointment." At that point, a bizarre turn occurred and the woman made some serious, asinine comment about this being an "annual physical" and that if we could not accommodate the child, they would have to call people to ensure that he got the medical care he needed. Basically, she threatened us with the law (is how WE took it) even though we have never once had any issues. We get seen regularly in that office (6 kids so obviously they know us, etc). My husband got very angry and withdrew ALL of them from their practice. Now my kids will see Dr. Biddle, who is great; however, I have one that absolutely needs to see a pediatrician due to his unique needs.

My oldest son went to Griffin Pediatrics from birth to right after he turned a year old. We had bad experience with them. I switched to McDonough Pediatrics. They found the problem with my son that day. I now have a 6 year old with special needs. I love McDonough Pediatrics with all 3 of my children! They do a great job.
I hope this will count as a discussion cause I need help! I need a good family doctor ya know the one for just check ups and normal wear and tear on the body. I also...

Janie, Family Medical Center in Thomaston is who's taken care of me since everything went haywire last year. In fact, that's where Ma took me and who wound up admitting me and saving me. Suzanne Gamel is the NP is see, and she's straight up awesome! Your bro even saw Dr. Capo there recently, too.:)

Internal Medical Clinic, operated by Family Medical in Griffin is accepting new patients. And also Family Medical is great, too. They have lab and xray on site, and can place IV's, place stitches, and cast broken bones. An urgent care clinic that also specializes in family practice. Also really great that they're open 7 days a week!

DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOD FAMILY DOCTOR NOT A PILL PUSHER DOCTOR IN THE JACKSON/GRIFFIN AREA WHO TAKES MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AND PLZ NEED A DOCTOR WHO CAN SPEAK ENGLISH ...
Gwenna M. replied:
I go to Dr. Brian Cross at internal medicine in Griffin. I've been with him for over 8 years. He takes Medicare and Medicaid. He is American and speaks clear English.
Iso a family doctor in griffin. One that will take the time to talk with you and actually listen. Not just walk in and out and thats it. TIA
Kim B. replied:
We like Brian Cross@Internal Medicine
Brandy D. replied:
I recommend Dr. Biddle. I've never felt rushed and have always had all my questions answered before he ever even gets out of his seat.
Jerry D. replied:
^^ Agreed. Dr. Michael Biddle is a sole practitioner, not part of a large group. He takes all the time you need, and the wait is never more than 10 minutes in my experience. He is a family practice physician, so will make referrals to specialists as needed.
Harriette D. replied:
There's a brand new practice on Carver Rd near fire station. I believe it's called Reliance Healthcare. I believe they just opened. You might want to check it out.
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the doctors at Mcintosh trail family practice in Griffin. I am thinking about going there but would like to hear some...

McIntosh Family Practice... NOPE!

I use McIntosh Trail and have been going there for a very long time. Dr. David Van and his wife Vicki are two very smart Doctor's. They have other good doctor's as well. I would highly recommend them.
Looking for a good family doctor for my FIL. He has specialist for his heart but needs someone to monitor his diabetes. Any suggestions?

Sam S. replied:
I recommend Family Medical Center in the Belk shopping center. They will be opening an appointment-style internal medicine office next door in the old Peace Officers building some time in 2016, or you can go to the existing "walk-in" location. They stayed on my case and figured out what my problem was earlier this year. It took lots of testing and hard thinking but I'm still here.
