Dr. Doyle and the nursing staff are amazing. I hit the wrong button on some of the questions. The communication with the receptionist or front desk people, they could use a little work on speaking to people with respect and courtesy and kindly.

February 24, 2023

My family come to Wellstar for our health. We trust our doctor.

February 17, 2023

Very happy with the office overall and very pleased with Dr Doyle's attention, time, knowledge, and bedside manner. Made me as a new mother there and my 14 year old son's first visit comfortable.

February 16, 2023

I spent 1.5 hours at the doctor's office and then over 1.5 hours at the lab for a blood draw. I had security called on me at the lab because I knocked on the lab door to ask a question (about the blood draw appointment I thought I'd scheduled at the kiosk), which I only did since the x-ray secretary didn't know the answer and advised me to knock on the lab door. It was a rough morning for us.

February 12, 2023

We love Dr Doyle!. And we have been really happy overall with the office/practice:

Everyone at the office (front desk, nurses included) is polite, straightforward, and super helpful. Dr Doyle took time to listen to my concerns regarding my newborn's health- even if they turned out to be not as serious as I assumed- which is important to me as a first time parent!

Dr. Doyle is amazing! He made my son feel comfortable by interacting with him in a way to ease his fear. He is still talking about the "elephant in his ear" that Dr. Doyle saw.

October 9, 2022

Excessively long waits. This office's doctors struggle with taking appropriate length lunches which then puts them behind schedule consistently.

I spent 1.5 hours at the doctor's office and then over 1.5 hours at the lab for a blood draw. I had security called on me at the lab because I knocked on the lab door to ask a question (about the blood draw appointment I thought I'd scheduled at the kiosk), which I only did since the x-ray secretary didn't know the answer and advised me to knock on the lab door. It was a rough morning for us.

Very happy with the office overall and very pleased with Dr Doyle's attention, time, knowledge, and bedside manner. Made me as a new mother there and my 14 year old son's first visit comfortable.

Dr. Doyle and the nursing staff are amazing. I hit the wrong button on some of the questions. The communication with the receptionist or front desk people, they could use a little work on speaking to people with respect and courtesy and kindly.

BacktoCampusCare: What to Know About Anxiety

Whether it’s your first time on campus or you’re a seasoned college student, the start of a new school semester can be exciting, stressful and a little scary all at the same time.

Between finding classes on campus and fitting in with new friends, you may be feeling anxious about the upcoming semester. Keep in mind, new-school-year nerves are normal and there are resources to help you—including a check-up with your Wellstar primary care physician as well as on-campus counselors.

“Anxiety often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed,” said Wellstar Physician Dr. Andrew Doyle. “It’s not always recognized or talked about because people think it’s a normal part of life. But when anxiety interferes with completing homework, socializing or working at your job, it’s not necessarily normal. It’s helpful to have someone check it out.”

Signs of anxiety can also include difficulty sleeping, abdominal pain, headaches, significant changes in appetite or an explosive temper.

“There are effective treatments that make a difference for students including lifestyle changes, medication and therapy,” Dr. Doyle said.

Getting enough sleep, exercise and healthy food are highly important, and Dr. Doyle also recommends planning downtime from social media and life responsibilities.

“Therapy and role-playing can help you recognize your stressors and think through how to handle them ahead of time so you can face those situations,” he said. “For example, on exam day, start with positive self-talk. You can say, ‘I’m feeling nervous. I have a headache and an upset stomach. I know that’s because I’m anxious. I’ve taken many tests before and I can do this so I don’t need to worry about it.’ Breathing exercises before the test can help you stay calm. You can also plan ahead of the test to do something enjoyable afterward and to focus on that instead of the stressor.”

To help you start the semester off feeling mentally strong and physically healthy, here are some wellness tips to get you off to your best school year yet.

Study guide to stay healthy

From medical appointments to personal safety, follow our tips to prepare for college and prioritize your health.

  • Take control of your health. Book your annual physical with your primary care physician at the start of the semester.
  • Make mental health a priority. Get sufficient sleep, exercise and nutrition. Bring up any questions or concerns about stress, anxiety and depression with your primary care provider.
  • Recognize anxiety and manage it. When you recognize a situation that triggers anxiety, start positive self-talk and deep breathing. 
  • Schedule in self-care. College can be intense. Make time for yourself to do things you enjoy for your mental and physical well-being.
  • Stay organized. Use a planner or calendar to schedule classes, exams and study time to keep yourself on track.
  • Set roommate rules. If you’re living with roommates, create clear rules for your space like noise levels, chores and when other friends are allowed over.
  • Know your surroundings. Get familiar with the campus layout and where the security station or emergency phones are located.
  • Use the buddy system. Stay alert on campus and walk with a friend when possible, especially at night.
  • Protect yourself at parties. Never leave drinks unattended, whether you’re hanging out at a bar, party or other gathering with friends.

Get ready for campus life

Heading to college can be a big transition, and you may feel anxiety about the upcoming changes, especially during a pandemic. But don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need help getting ready or adjusting.

Talking to your Wellstar is a great place to start, whether your concerns are about physical, emotional or mental health. Our health partners are here to support you and can connect you with specialists to keep you feeling well.

Book your annual physical today and be sure to bring up any questions or concerns you have with your doctor.

BackToSchoolCare: Helping Your Child With Stress & Anxiety

The new school year comes with a lot of change for children—a different classroom, teacher, peers, learning material and routine. These changes can cause stress and anxiety in some children and teens, especially if they struggle in school and dread going back.

How to respond to stress

Kids and teens of all ages can feel stress at times, and that’s normal. It’s essentially a signal to get ready for what’s coming. With typical back-to-school stress, a parent or caretaker can help adolescents start the school year with confidence—and gain important coping skills—with the following tips.

  1. Listen and validate your child or teen’s feelings.
  2. Talk through what they can expect of everything from the morning routine to the bus ride to the school day and dismissal.
  3. Visit the school and the classroom, especially if the child is younger or is new to the school.
  4. Check in with your child about how the year is going so far.
  5. Look ahead at what the rest of the year could be like.

Recognize chronic stress and anxiety

Stress can be good for kids. But on the other hand, chronic stress and anxiety that lasts for more than a few weeks aren’t healthy. In recent years, Dr. Doyle has noticed a growing number of adolescents, especially females, have anxiety.

“It’s normal to have stress; it’s not normal to have anxiety,” said Wellstar pediatrician Dr. Andrew Doyle. “Understandably you get nervous with new situations that make you uncomfortable, but you’re still able to do it and have fun. Significant anxiety starts to interfere with a child or teen’s ability to do what they need to do—homework, school, social situations. That’s when it’s helpful to get it checked out.”

In addition to having difficulty participating in and completing activities, signs of anxiety in children and adolescents can include difficulty sleeping, abdominal pain, headaches, significant changes in appetite or an explosive temper.

Effective treatments include lifestyle changes, medication and therapy. For example, lifestyle changes can include getting enough sleep, exercising, eating a healthy diet and planning downtime from social media and life responsibilities.

“Therapy and role-playing can help you recognize your stressors and think through how to handle them ahead of time so you can face those situations,” he said. “For example, on exam day, start with positive self-talk. You can say, ‘I’m feeling nervous. I have a headache and an upset stomach. I know that’s because I’m anxious. I’ve taken many tests before and I can do this, so I don’t need to worry about it.’ Breathing exercises before the test can help you stay calm.”

Start the year strong with a wellness screening

Another way to begin the school year right is to check in on your child’s emotional and physical health. Wellstar pediatricians will get to know your child and help them live their healthiest.

“I try to do whatever I can to help our patients and families so that when they leave my office, I've given them something to hold onto that is going to make life better for them,” Dr. Doyle said.

Find a pediatrician near you and book your child’s back to school exam so they can start the year strong.
