YES!! Dr. Jeffrey Abrams!! His wife is a chiropractor, he has NEVER given me any disrespect regarding vaccines, ever!! He is kind, and my two boys love him, and I think he's great for a Western Dr. We've been going since both were newbies- total of 5 years. He is super conservative with recommending antibiotics and will recommend herbs!:). I think he's great!! Good luck. Feel free to use me as a referral!

Dr Whipple is good
Ashley M. replied:
We use Dr Tega! Primecare Pediatrics! We absolutely love him and his staff. All this about him not taking time is not true at ALL in my opinion! He has always taken time with is and knows both of my kids by name. He plays with them and discusses every issue with me. I have a 3 month old with severe reflux and he has been super about it!! I've had a ton of insecurities with my youngest eating because of her reflux but he and his staff have helped me every step of the way!

Dr. Tega is wonderful!! He is very sweet to my girls and really listens to my concerns! He hasn't always given us meds right away either. He will sometimes say use a humidifier or if it's a virus here some things you can do to help with symptoms while you wait it out. They have same day sick appt's every time and the whole staff is very sweet!!

Ok, I couldn't write a better post earlier because I was at dr tega's office with my girls. He is by far the best we've been to! Went today because my oldest had an earache and while there I asked about a cough my youngest was having. I asked if I needed to make an appointment and they took care of us right then. Just had a scare with my youngest a couple weeks ago (that I totally blame Newnan hospital for) and he called me over the holiday weekend to check on her, gave me his personal number to call if I needed, and when the office opened he immediately hugged us both and saved the day! he is so amazing! Not quick to throw meds at you, listens to you, and genuinely loves his patients! We love everyone in that office!!!
Tabitha J. replied:
Dr Tega, he is wonderful with my son. He listens &Nd takes time to understand what is going on and isnt quick to just prescribe something thats not needed. Same day sick apts &Nd return nurses calls promptly. He is usually the one who returns them ive never waited 30 minutes for a call back

Kimberly S. replied:
I didn't like Dr. Whipple. My son was sick for three weeks with a cold. He missed 9 days of school due to coughing. The school kept sending him home. I took him multiple times and Dr. Whipple would just say it's a cold. I finally switched to Dr. Kemi. She diagnosed his asthma before she examined him. She said the cold had turned into bronchitis because of the asthma. I said, "What asthma? I thought he outgrew asthma as a kid." She said no. She said she could hear his labored breathing before she even examined him. My son missed the entire last month of school in fourth grade due to the constant misdiagnosis of Dr. Whipple. He's always training someone and he only spends a few minutes with eCh patient.

If she's on Medicaid take her to Kiaser. Dr. Becknell is amazing. I always get same day appointments & Gavin loves him!
Stephanie G. replied:
Dr. Tega is fantastic! And his entire staff is super sweet!
Kimberly S. replied:
We used to see Dr. Cole. He gave my young son the wrong dosage on a prescription. He was so high I had to pick him up from school. I had to lead him to the car because his eyes were completely dilated. The lesson is 1) know what prescription and dosage your child is receiving; 2) confirm the doctor wrote the prescription correctly; 3) confirm the pharmacy filled the prescription correctly; 4) ask lots of questions about why they are getting the meds, how it is supposed to work, how long it will take to work, what are the side effects, etc. We used Dr. Cole for about five years. He was getting forgetful and this goof up lead me to Dr. Whipple. Dr. Whipple also misdiagnosed my sister-in-law's nephew (other side of the family). I can't remember what was going on but it was tense for a while.

Lyndsi J. replied:
It's totally up to you of course, but I DO NOT recommend dr. Whipple. At all. He didn't circumcise Konner CORRECTLY so he still has "redundant foreskin" that he will have to be put to sleep to remove this time. which means I have to take off 2 days of work, which means 16 hours off my paycheck. anyways, hahahah Dr. Jackson is fantastic! He goes above & beyond for his patients, and he will explain to you everything you need to know. Even the little questions that I felt like most people knew, but I didn't, he totally understood that it was my first go-round of being a mom, and one of my favorite things about him, is he takes his time. I have never felt rushed at all while using him. & he knows us by name, and when I told him all 4 of my little cousins used him( I told him the Camp family) & he was able to name Jackson, Jefferson, Harrison, and Hamilton off by name. he's an awesome doctor & I don't think Konner will ever go anywhere else, while were in newnan at least

Dr Roberts is at that office. That's the office that I've had trouble with personally, and know two people with similar sentiments. It's not the doctors--I love Dr. Cheek and every doctor I've seen there. But it's the staff I've had major issues with. I dread having to go there or deal with them. Even calling is a nightmare for me. But I know a couple people who have never noticed an issue. So who knows. I've just felt like they hate their jobs and are never happy people. Which doesn't seem fitting for people who deal with sick children every day. They've made me feel like I'm an inconvenience to them--even in their own mistakes (scheduling, specifically).

Dr. Cheeks is the best. We've been seeing her for years. Yes she just got back from maternity leave. I have never had a problem getting an appointment. I would actually be a little leery of a doctor that can give next day of the week if well check appointments, to me that would say they don't have very many patients and they would have to be a reason for that. I always schedule my well baby appointments when we are leaving from the previous one and have never had a problem getting them when needed. Most doctors, you can't just call the week of needed a well appointment.
Jessica C. replied:
Dr. Jill Dickerson! She's awesome!
Nikki H. replied:
LOVE Dr. Dickerson!! I've taken my kids to her for years!! Normally when you call, you get in that day or the next!! Very loving and caring and down to earth. You're not just another patient to her!! She also specialized in Pediatric Gynecology in Atlanta for 10 yrs before coming here....which is a plus, considering I have all girls! You'll LOVE her!!
Mona B. replied:
I know about Dr. Cheeks maternity leave and we liked her, however she has no appointment available until the middle of November and even with the nurse practitioner I have to wait till October. And when my 3 months old was sick and not eating I had to wait 3 days for an appointment for a sick visit with the nurse. That's just not good!
Eva R. replied:
Dr. Malcolm Cole. He spreads them out so they don't get more than 2 shots At a time

Dr. Justice at Just Us Kids is great. Her NP is also awesome. Same day appointments in most cases, and I don't think she minds spreading out vaccinations. We had to catch our youngest up because we missed one, and they had no issue with it.

Dr Lisa mcmath 4000 shakerag hill ptc 770-486-7111 the other doctor at her office is Dr Jerry m. Roberts and was my pediatrician, my sisters, and my son's and is very prestigious and knowledgable..he is also an on call pediatrician at Piedmont Fayette to check the newborns (: he is very proactive and never schedules uneccesary appointments to make money like some doctors, and his staff is incredibly friendly (:

Dr. Carter is a great doctor. Corey used him & both of his nieces still do, he knows his families very well:) Dr. Whipple is someone you want to stay away from! Not a smart doctor at all.. Also Dalton's home Pediatrician was Dr. Roberts in PeachTree City (Don't know if you'd want to drive that far).

We LOVE Dr Jill Dickerson at Vibrant Kids Pediatrics in Summer Grove. She is the best! She tends to go the more natural way and tries not to prescribe a prescription unless its something that needs it. She listens and doesn't treat me like an idiot like alot of drs bc im such a young mom.... I love her! And her nurses are great too!
Marlies S. replied:

Shanna N. replied:
Cecileigh's Neonatologists interviewed a handful of Dr.s and Dr. Whipple was the one they picked. Maybe its bcs Cecileighs issues are more serious than the average child, but before we ever saw him he knew everything there was to know about her and all of her issues. He takes out an hour for every one of our visits just to talk things over, ask questions,etc...
