I wanted to take this time to say thank you to all the staff. From MA to Scheduling and to Dr. Derek. I have been in so much pain for so long. All I wanted was for someone to give me advice and a plan of action and to listen to me. Me coming from a integrated and holistic background for over 25yrs. I understand alot. But I am by no means a expert. I appreciate you all. For getting me in so quickly and look forward to our next visit.

He was a great PA and gave us the information we needed. Well pleased with the office visit but you all definitely need more parking at the Paulding hospital area.

The entire me experience was amazing. I checked in prior to arrival via MyChart. Though the receptionist had another patient checking in, she acknowledged my presence and had me sign in. The nurse called me to the back, promptly at my appointment time. She was kind, courteous and very personable. Within moments, the doctor arrived and his energy was "dope". We chatted it up regarding my medical issues, as well as we connected on a personable level. I love that he did he own charting immediately after the appointment and worked very closely with his team. THIS is the absolute BEST Wellstar experience I have ever had. Thank you!
