Primary care physician recommendations? (Adults). If you have BCBS anthem and you like your doc, you'll save me an hour on the phone. Thanks yall!

Terrible time finding a PCP that even TRIES AT ALL any longer. Dr. Larry Feldman at Piedmont PHysicians is very good but if you get extremely ill, he will immediately dump you as a patient, stating that your illness is over his head (no matter whether it is or not) to save him time. Not very sick, he's great.

Dr. A. J. Orquia - West Cobb Medical - Wellstar
Mimi D. replied:

Laura Nash after time on the phone with the nurse, you are correct about anthem. she said it changes pretty often so its a good idea to call. appreciate your thoughts everyone. so thankful to have insurance but goodness is it complicated!
Beth G. replied:
Thanks for the correction Laura Nash. Cherokee Internal Medicine told me it wasn't an accepted plan this January so thankfully I was able to change plans. Maybe they take it now? Not easy to navigate.

Dr Michael Skardasis at exit 8 in Woodstock takes BCBS. 678-494-4450. He is a young, very intelligent, and kind doctor who is very thorough. He literally saved my life by finding a major disease before I even had symptoms.
Karla J. replied:
I love Dr. Clifford's whole staff! The P.A.s are great, and I almost always get in for a sick visit the day I call.
Sandra L. replied:
Nissi Family Medicine is a new clinic that just opened up at 1810 mulkey rd in austelle. Dr.Ngwang is a very good family physician. Check out their facebook page it has all their info, just search nissi family medicine.

Kellie J. replied:
Dr. Travis Bowles in East Cobb is wonderful and takes BC/BS and is part of Wellstar
Laura N. replied:
I am sorry to be contrary but Wellstar does take Anthem. I have recently had a baby and surgery at Kennestone with no issues at all with my BCBS Anthem plan. I really like Dr William Kriegel. He has been my doc for 10 years. Takes BCBS Anthem.
Anyone know a doctor who will put an adult on add meds. Boy child wanting to go back to school. But not a child anymore so pediatrician is out.
Lori P. replied:
The drs in the same bldg as Nside Pediatrics (in towne lake) do also as that is where my pediatrician advised me to go with Dustin for the exact same issue!!
Kerry C. replied:
Crystal at Northside Family practice. 770-517-2145 She is great.
Lisa B. replied:
If this said ""boy turned man is yours, than I am thrilled he is going back to school. Yay Christian.
Does anyone have a good family practice/internal med doc they like that is in network for the new (sucky) health plan for CCSD/ state of GA? My doctor is now out of...
Lenore D. replied:
Dr. Carolyn Sigman was referred to me by someone, and I now refer her to folks. We really like her and her Nurse Practitioner. She is located across from Lowes on Mansell.

I love my Dr. - Yacoba Hudson on 92 in Woodstock... She's with Piedmont. Don't know if that will work for you.
Cheryl E. replied:
Richard Manrique is the other doc.
Susan H. replied:
Thanks y'all. I saw Dr. Hefner before he left the practice I was going to. I did like him. I'll check out the others. Erin, I should post on the T.R.A.G.I.C site. It is growing like wildfire. This is a big hassle and seems unnecessary!
Chris G. replied:
Dr. Beecham in Sixes area.
Jan H. replied:
Dr. Jason Hefner is the best. All our family members and extended family members, and many co-workers use him.
Jill J. replied:
I like Kaya Caldwell at Alpharetta Internal Medicine on Upper Hembree Rd.
Moved to marietta. Need a new primary physician. Not satisfied with old one and don't want to drive to woodstock. Any suggestion. Cobb HMO
Harry G. replied:
That may be somewhat a challenge in this present day my friend. So many doctors have chosen special practice instead of primary care. Those of us on Medicare have an even harder task finding a Primary doctor who still accepts Medicare. I'm using Dr. Kenneth Parker with the Kennesaw Medical group on Cherokee St. in Kennesaw. I like him but he's an older guy and I wonder how much longer he's going to stay in the business.
Wayne G. replied:
Dr. Lamar Cousins
Charlie S. replied:
Foster may can advise you... We use Dr David Cantrell. I'm unsure, though, if he's taking on new patients. If so, he's pretty awesome.
Catherine W. replied:
Gordon and I use Dr Roger Hill with Wellstar Family Medicine on Cherry Street and like him very much.
Brenda B. replied:
Ask Linda Foster she knows the best !!
Jean S. replied:
I use Dr. Coombs (women) on Concord Rd, Smyrna, She is taking new patients.
Towne Lake friends.......Jim and I are both thinking about getting Lasik eye surgery. Who has had it done and can recommend their doctor?
Donna G. replied:
Melanie, I just made my 2 nd appt. today with Dr. Stephen Hamilton for 2 nd assessment to hopefully have him do cataract surgery on both my eyes!! I was very impressed with him on my first appt. and he comes very highly recommended! smile emoticon
Laure C. replied:
Curtis had Lasik done and used Dr. Stephen Hamilton. He did well & had no problems.
Eileen D. replied:
Deb, Chelsea works for Dr. Denise Johnson at Marietta Eye Clinic and she speaks very highly of her.....I know she does cataract surgeries I will check about LASIK.
Ginny M. replied:
I had mine done at Marietta Eye Clinic. Dr. Steven Corwin. Best $ ever spent!
Melanie M. replied:
