Dr. Goolsby is the only provider my husband trusts. The only reason we're going there is because of him. One thing we want to mention that is not a reflection of him or his office. Lately, we are inundated with texts, emails and phone calls to confirm our appointments. Once we have confirmed the appointment and have already checked in on MyChart, we should only be receiving one more phone call as a reminder, not email + text + phone call almost every other day.

Hi, I'd like to say that it is a pleasure to drive the distance to go to Harem, Georgia to see your doctors there. They have everybody you need in one building. I love the friendliness. I love the competency. And I love the thoroughness of this doctor and hospital facility. I recommend anybody having issues with where they're getting treated, go there. The people are very, very courteous. They're pleasant. They smile. And they do their work with pride. Go there and you will not be disappointed.
