Dr. Seehusen has an extreme case load and it shows. I felt very over looked and unheard. I literally wasted a visit and money because none of my issues were resolved or even given a resolution. Also, the visit felt rushed, maybe because this was a late afternoon visit.

Check-in was very slow. There were only two check in clerks. There was a line. Wellstar logistics are horrible. I love the people but Wellstar is pretty Sad. My provider was excellent and support staff were very good. The employees who work there appear to not have enough quality support from management, especially the C-suite. The quality of care is almost as good as it was when it was Augusta University. This is slowly deteriorating and as the culture of the new company moves in over the next few years and the AU-MCG culture disappears, it will have frightening consequences on our community. I especially have issues with billing logistics. I have BCBS Anthem but is never seems to be billed properly. I questioned The lab draw and why was is drawn in the clinic sometimes and sometimes in the lab. I was thrown for a loop when told that it was being drawn in clinic because I am 'self pay' and have no Insurance. This is mind boggling for me. There is no efficiency in the process though it is an 'for profit' facility. I don't understand it. I miss Augusta University and in a few more years will miss the people.

The technician when giving the cup to urinate in asked if I would rather a seat and explain how to use it. She was the first person to ever mention the seat.

Your Men’s Health Playbook
Your late teens, 20s & 30s Striving for top health performance
You may feel on top of your game—even unbeatable—In your 20s and 30s. You may be tempted to think, “Why even bother with a physical?” Yet this is training season for building up lifelong healthy habits.
Establish your care coach: In your late teens to early 20s, transition from your pediatrician and establish yourself with a primary care physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant by scheduling a physical.
“When young men show up for preventive care, we talk about the future,” said Dr. Dean Seehusen, chair of Family & Community Medicine at Wellstar MCG Health Medical Center in Augusta. “Then we talk about what that’s going to take habit-wise. What you can do in your 60s and 70s is based on what you’re doing in your 20s, 30s and 40s.”
Stay on top of your stats: The information from your annual exam can help you stay on track to live out your vision, measured in part by important health stats—like glucose and cholesterol levels, body mass index and blood pressure. Staying on top of your trending numbers can help prevent heart disease, stroke and diabetes down the road.
It’s also a good time to talk about your vaccine status, such as tetanus (needed every 10 years) and HPV. To protect yourself and your partner, it’s important to test for human papillomavirus. Also known as HPV, it’s the most common sexually transmitted infection and can cause several types of cancer for men and women, even though you likely won’t have symptoms. You may have already received this vaccine in your teens, but if you haven’t yet, it’s recommended through the age of 26.
Men may also consider self-screening for testicular cancer through self-exams during these earlier healthcare years, according to John Aaron III, a physician assistant who cares for patients at Wellstar Family Medicine in Alpharetta.
Look for weaknesses: Make your health team aware of your family medical history, from heart disease and stroke to cancer. This will help them create a personalized health plan for you. You may need screenings or tests for certain health conditions at an earlier age than the average population.
