I love my appointments with Dr. McLeod as well as seeing the nurse Jennifer, the administrative staff, and the lab technician. Dr. McLeod is great. She seems to care and is so thorough. She asks and answers pertinent questions that I feel are very important. I drive 5 hours for my appointments; therefore, it should be clear that I am pleased and very impressed with the care that I get. I appreciate everyone there as they are always so patient and helpful.

Dr. McLeod is kind, caring, professional, intuitive and proactive. She listens and immediately works towards the solution. I trust her brilliance and instincts completely. And she is quick to respond whenever I reach out to her with questions or concerns. I am truly blessed that my care is in her capable hands. Her staff is excellent - the lady at the front desk and the nurse are also professional, pleasant, kind and concerned.

It's the very first visit to a rheumatologist office where the Doctor exam me . She examed my feet, hands, mouth and asked me all my family history and made me feel confident she was going to take care of me . Dr Mcleod order my Lass and x-rays... and I was able to do that all in the same day. she made me a follow up appointment right away.. amazing .. I am sending my Son and Daughter to see her ?? great medical service from check in to check out ..

If a dramatically abnormal test doesn't confirm anything, good luck getting taken seriously. Just a game of referring to other specialists instead of true record review and thoughtful understanding of symptoms and potential root causes. Doctors only look for the mainstream disorders and don't care about anything but. Total loss in trust in the medical system!

The doc and her staff were fine. The Lab experience was bad!! The tech was good but the lab is so obviously understaffed that wait time was an hour or more to have blood drawn and give a urine sample. You need to have several more people staffing this lab!! It was terrible, not good for patients and not good for employees. I assume a cost cutting thing? Wrong choice for saving you money!

I thought Dr.McLeod was excellent. However I do not like the policy of going to an infusion center at Kennestone Hospital for a simple injection. Rheumatologists I have been to in the past have administered the injection in the office. It is a hardship to go to the hospital. I might have to consider changing to a different practice. That is disappointing.
